Lately there’s alot of takings about Malaysia’s upcoming Nuclear Plant..

Isn’t it exciting for all Malaysian? We are going to have our very own 1Malaysia Nude Nuke plant. Our Media and people responded their unwillingness to adopt Nuclear Plant. I think it is fun for me to add a little bit of HuuHaa here pertaining to this issue (since I’m also a retarded energy engineer)

Reason for not willing to accept Nuclear as our additional power resources by most Malaysians?

1. Devastating effects of nuclear technology atom-bombed during WWII in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
2. The case of Three Mills Island in the US in the late 1970s.
3. The Chernobyl Nuclear reactor disaster in 1986.

The above reasons were implied by our beloved parti-pembangkang Pakatan Rakyat in the parliament. I think our politicians are really good in history facts (they can only get it in wikipedia and internet) since they can memories all the dark events so well, but they lack of future orientated knowledge that strengthen their point to go against the government to build a nuclear plant. Hereby, I would like to pen down a few of my state-of-the-art-retarted-tips to the politicians that plan to go against the nuclear plant.

There’s no point to convince the government that Nuclear plant is actually very harmful to us because…….

.

Nuclear Plant is really GOOD!!

People who constantly implying the unpleasent historical events of nuclear plants are trying to convince us that the creation of Nuclear plants is a technology black-hole, It is the type of creation that human must dis-invent it. This is simply unacceptable.   Why?

If I tell you history shows that there’s plenty of casualties in Aviation Business, can we stop people to fly again? Accident occured during construction period, can we stop people to build more houses? Internet create negative problems to the youth, can we stop people to serve internet again? Shopping make ladies to go bankrupted, can we stop them to have credit cards?…. cannot right?  Nuclear plant is the same… with  care and love we will have plenty of safe energy.

Our government got all the sweet-talks from the technology providers from various developed countries. Obtaining nuclear plant is a national pride because they are comparing to country like France whereby 76% of its energy generated from nuclear, China has plenty of nuclear plants and currently there are 9 in construction, Japan and Taiwan are using it… Owning Nuclear plant is a STATUS because it is the state-of-the-art-expensive-sophisticated-environmental-friendly-power plant.

Clearly It is the kind of projects that the Goverment can take Money from the people when they execute it, also it will channel out our money in a very fast manner.

Why?

Malaysia nuclear project lead time kick-off is 10 years, this was informed by the “experts”.  European lead time is normally more than 10 years because they think building a nuclear plant is not easy and require a lot of feasibilities studies that will use up a lot of managment man hours to completed it, their government will personally involve in the planning stage whereby every details of nuclear plant erection + constrution will be very tedious. Construction standards will be set to a very stringent level. Construction period for a nuclear plant in Europe will normally take more than 10 years to complete (considering the fact that Europe has higher knowledge and experience of building a nuclear plant).

Now what if the above situation fall under Malaysian hands?

Who will commission the nuclear constructions?

What kind of standards will Malaysia come out with for the technology providers?

It is all $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It seems that we all have forgotten another ambitious power project!

Which is

Bakun Hydroelectric Power Station

The highly anticipated Hidro Project that was supposed to be meterialized decade ago is now still undergoing. How much billions was spent to this project already?

Still the government want to talk about Nuclear plant when this shit is not finished yet?

In additional to that, lately they want to award Sime Darby to build the submarine cable to transmit the Power from East Malaysia to the West? which later proven that Sime Darby overun the proposed price by 1 billion ringgit. No need to say more.

.

Renewables

Besides Bakun project, how about our renewables program like Solar and wind? these are actually the real high-end energy solutions. Everywhere in the world, people are now focusing on Solar and Wind. But our government appreciate more on expensive stuff that brings no value.

Who are the people that approach Malaysia to build nuclear plant? US, France, Korean, China and many more.. these countries priority renewable energy like solar although they have difficulty in getting solar energy. But they intend to sell their unwanted/out-to-date technology to Malaysia when we can have abundant of solar, wind annually.

I would like to ask..

Which country has the most number of prestigious solar manufacturing companies in the world?

It is Malaysia! we have German Q-cells solar manufacturer (Putrajaya), First solar thin-film solar manufacturer (Kulim) from US, Sunpower from US (Melacca) and a few more coming. YAY!!

now ask again..

Which country has the most number of prestigious solar manufacturing companies in the world but have non Solar farm / Solar installed in large scale?

I can proudly say that it is Malaysia also.

.

Why does this happen?

Our government subsidises so much money in raw materials such as natural gas (main ingredient to make solar cells), petrol, export tax to attract ang-mo to invest in us to build solar cells. But we are adopting the unwanted technology from the ang-mo.  At the same time The government cut down our subsidises and increase our living cost haha..

I decided to pen down this Chinese thingy because this has been bugging my work, life, politics views, my country and my identity.

The majority people of the world seems to have very negative thinking about Chinese people. Many thought that the Chinese are creating problems to the rest of the world, Chinese is the problem to the pollution, Chinese are rude, Chinese are smelly, Chinese are cunning, Chinese destroy the economy and etc…

Recently me and Low Kei were humiliated and ill-treated by a French waiter in a French restaurant. Additionally I experienced a series of disgusting Chinese issue in my company that sparked my head to create this post. Furthermore, I was inspired by one of Ahyap.com‘s post with regards to What’s so special About Chinese?

.

Why “Chinese” issue is making  drastic impact on my work and company now?

I’m working for a French power plant provider company as a subcontracting/tendering engineer (the retarded kind of engineer that is not so good in technical know-how) in France. The name of the company is Alstom, which I can proudly say that it is one of the prestigious power plant provider company in the world.

Being a tendering engineer allows me to understand some of the commercial business decisions made by the superiors (the asshole people). I noticed most of the business movements had tuned to be more competent in order to compete against the Chinese. Eventually a few business units were created exclusively to compete with the Chinese.

Now what did the Chinese do?

Not long ago, Malaysia Alstom country president presented the volume comparison of power plants built by Alstom against the competitors. His slides was something like this (not exactly the same).



The power plant built by Chinese Dong Fang is relative more than the sum of power plants produced by the competitors.  Not only Dong Fang  perform exceptionally well oversea, they make the other key players cannot compete in China market (the numbers of power plant erected in china is relatively higher than the rest of the world for the past few years) .

What I found about Dong Fang Electric Corporation 东方电气集团 in Belfort:

According to some of the old people in Alstom, DongFang used to be the subcontractor to Alstom to build mega plants in China 30 years ago such as  nuclear and Steam. From there, they tried to learn everything from scratch to produce their own equipments. Alstom used to laugh at their incapability and Alstom had to complete DongFang’s half successful work and equipments like Generators and Turbines. Now they are the major threat to the key players like Siemens, Alstom and GE

My experience with the Guai Loh 鬼佬

We all know that the Guai Loh possess ‘expensive blood’ compared to Asians. They think they are the central of the world, they are the most sophisticated races in world.  Needless to say, their working man hours is very expensive, they don’t really care about cost saving when they try to do business, they have to respect their individual lifestyle and so on… hence their Europe business profit  normally is not good, Asia for them is very lucrative.

Now, their focus is on Asia market now. They even created a funny term for that! It is called… ROA business (Rest-Of-Asia business). Why they called it Rest-of-Aisa business but not A business (Asia business)? ROA means excluding China but include the rest of Asia because simply they can’t do Chinese business anymore. Lately I found out ROA will exclude India further.

Rest-of-Asia market is not an easy market for them. The major challenge now for these European company is to drive down their cost by more than 50%, because China is attached to ROA, and the Chinese sales man likes to knock on customers door and promote their extremely cheap product. No doubt, European equipments and solution has high efficiency, but the customer mindset now is to have cheap model with average performance but bankable solutions.

So, my job now involve in cost savings and apply construction procedures that shows significant cost savings! a lot of time I need to involve myself in the meeting with all the Guai Lohs to discuss the feasibility of different kind of solution

Because I am the only Chinese and Asian in the table hence I always encounter situation like this-

Guai Lo:

We have to compete with the Chinese! So We now must use the cheap CHINESE equipments!

But we know that Chinese people are STUPID and DUMB! if we buy these equipment from them, most of the time they can’t provide user manual for us! they are just too stupid to do good documentation!

Chinese people are lousy, and they are cheap, we can give them little money and complete the work

Chinese efficiency is poor!

after they uttered all the ugly words, then they will turn to me and ask… are you China Chinese?

what do I do? I have to humbly + calmly + stupid  shack my head like this… , to please them

well inside my heart, I remember vividly ……

Yes, It was like a slap in the face to the Chinese….

How I wish I can jump onto the table and scream to them

FireMice:

中国人不是东亚病夫!

Chinois ne sont pas l’homme malade de l’Asie!! (French)

Chinese are not the sick man  (cowards) of Asia!

Their ideas are not really impressive, because they think in order to compete with the Chinese, they have to source cheap materials and equipments from the Chinese. In the end, it is like finding Chinese to kick Chinese Ass… they forgot one thing,  everything is Chinese.

.

The World doesn’t understand us!

Chinese are now hungry of success, it seems that the most of the rest of the world still don’t understand Chinese and its capabilities.

Chinese lived in the dark for a period time when the other part of the world especially the West was growing fast to distinguish themselves as superior beings. But this is only noticeable for the last 50-100 years I think?

But Chinese has 5,000 years of ups-downs. The problem that the Chinese are facing now is only a tiny peak of an iceberg . It can sink the TITANIC down with your adorable Guai Lo Leonardo Dicaprio. Making a drastic changes in mankind history for Chinese is sap-sap-sui easy…

Don’t estimate us because in our BLOOD, we have a series of important stuffs  started from thousands of years ago…. from the Confucius 孔子 to …..  First Emperor of china Qin Shi Huang 秦始皇…. to Journey to the West 西遊記….. to the romance of the 3 kingdom in red cliff…. to the Art-of War by Sunzhi….. to the Legend of the Condo Heroes 射雕英雄传… to Bruce Lee….. 2008 Beijing olympic….. and now Jackie Chan..

I’m sure we have more to come… thumbs up to Chinese!

Today the world evidenced that America indeed is a Land of opportunity. Barack Obama defeated John McCain to become the 44^th and the first African-American President of United States. I was watching TV when he was giving his speech. This influences the whole world instantaneously right after the result was announced. I sensed hope and great sense of happiness from multiracial countries like Malaysia.

Obama delivered his speech right after the result of the election. He was sporting and managed to deliver a wonderful impromptu speech. He manages to draw a few important quotes and you can see the entire US recited after him… some of them are:

This is our moment!

YES we Can!

THIS IS YOUR VICTORY!

United Sates will CHANGE

He is indeed a mouthful guy.

Back home I was chatting with my ex-colleague in Belgium. Her name is Mei Fong aka wow wow. We discussed about today’s event and Obama’s tag line “we will change…”

What will Obama change? What type of changes will he and his administration bring to US?

1^st thing in our mind is he CHANGE the white house.

Now Obama will officially enter white house on January 20, 2009. let’s see what changes will he bring to white house….

On the coming  January 20, 2009 Obama will enter the White house with a new cool style

The first order from the first black president will be……..

Then his administration will……

White house will be CHANGED to Black House
