The untold story of Malaysia's role in SpaceX's survival.

Malaysia was instrumental in keeping SpaceX alive in its early years. One could argue it helped save Elon during his lowest financial period.

Falcon 1's first three launches, 2006 to 2008, all failed. The company was nearly bankrupt — grown men were weeping after the third failure. The fourth flight in September 2008 finally reached orbit with a dummy payload, RatSat. But still, no paying customer.

SpaceX needed a real commercial customer to prove the business was viable.

That customer was Malaysia.

Malaysia was looking to launch its satellite, RazakSAT, and needed a reliable, cost-effective option. Dr Ahmad Sabirin first give Elon a call on Christmas 2003 to explore the possibilities of launching of satellite to the low equatorial orbit and met in El Segundo, And after many discussions, they agreed to launch from Omelek Island in the Kwajalein Atoll.

On July 14, 2009, RazakSAT flew — the fifth and final Falcon 1, and SpaceX's first-ever commercial launch. The Malaysian flag Jalur Gemilang was painted on the side of the rocket.

That payment helped SpaceX make payroll through its hardest stretch. And it put Malaysia in orbit. Win win.

For old times' sake, Elon should drop by Malaysia. Ask someone to hold his teh tarik for one more handshake.

Dr Ahmad Sabirin & Elon, 2004.

Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam Malaysia claimed that RM53 million was paid by Japan to several individuals, rather than the government, for the transfer of 3 elephants to Tennoji Zoo in Osaka, according to a whistleblower.

NGO president Rajesh Nagarajan called on the MACC to investigate Perhilitan and former Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi.

Kongsi kuliah maghrib sikit.

Kata ustaz, manusia ni dari dulu ada sikap suka membandingkan-bandingkan harta kekayaan, anak-anak, dan pencapaian hidup.

Kemudian suka menunjuk-nunjuk dan bermegah atas apa yang mereka ada.

Allah larang perbuatan ini dalam Al-Quran.

Zaman sosial media, walaupun hidup dah rasa bahagia dan cukup, tapi bila lihat orang bercuti lagi best, kereta lagi mewah, rumah deco lagi cantik, anak lagi ramai, dia dah mula ada rasa kekurangan dalam hidupnya.

Lagi teruk generasi muda sekarang yang dah mula buat perbandingan sejak usia mereka kecil.

Dahulu sebelum sosial media, kita tak tahu sangat kehidupan orang lain. Kehidupan orang kaya, jiran, kawan sekolah/ofis bagaimana.

Sekarang, boleh nampak sampai bilik tidur, dapur, pakaian, hatta makanan yang mereka makan semua kita nampak sebab ramai yang tunjuk.

Ia jadikan ramai manusia makin kurang bersyukur dengan nikmat yang Allah beri sebab merasakan diri sentiasa rasa kekurangan.

WA.

Saw this BNM warning poster at a bank branch this week.

"Jangan terima wang kertas berdakwat. Wang kertas berdakwat mungkin telah dicuri."

Translation: don't accept ink-stained notes, they may have been stolen.

I always thought stained notes were just someone smearing ink on the notes or some printing defect. Turns out it is anti-theft technology built right into the ATM.

BNM uses ink-stained technology (https://t.co/MIVFuhiwdS). Dye packs are placed inside the cash bundles in ATMs and cash-in-transit bags.

If someone tampers with the machine or the bag, the pack activates and releases indelible ink that stains every note in the bundle.

BNM formalised the guideline in August 2020, asking financial institutions and cash-in-transit companies to deploy as a deterrent against ATM robberies. The ink is reportedly non-toxic to humans.

Here is the clever part.

Cash deposit machines are programmed to detect and reject stained notes. Bank branches are instructed not to accept them either. Anyone trying to deposit one may be tracked down for questioning.

The note is functionally worthless the moment it is stained. You cannot spend it, deposit it, or exchange it without potentially being investigated.

The deeper logic is elegant. The thief can still break the ATM open. But the cash inside becomes useless the second they touch it.

The robbery is no longer worth attempting.

Time to check your wallet if you have any such bank notes.

Do you remember the Serba Dinamik fraud?

• EPF, a major shareholder, lost significant amounts of our retirement money

• The stock collapsed to zero

• And the penalty for its boss Dato’ Abdul Karim? Just RM3 million, and he walks free

It is ironic that if you ask people to sign up for Binance, you might get RM10mil fine

The law isn’t designed to protect you. It is designed to protect those in power.
