This is the first response received from Mrs.Evelyne Tai from Kelantan, dated 21 June 2010 in my e-mail.
She agreed to my contemplation of making true experience with the unexplained into a video clip. However, to interview her first and edit the enacted scene into the video faces a problem – the distance. Anyway, here is her story.
“I was born with a gift – a third eye” This was her gambit in the short article she wrote to me. One of her two teen-age daughters “inherited” her gift and it was a harrowing experience for her, especially at her age.
Evelyne was not that lucky like her daughter. The unprecedented encounters Evelyne had, no one could understand her, except to frown upon her as a “cursed” child. She skipped school whenever she saw “someone” waiting for her outside her house, or when she saw a “mummified figure” sitting in the bus she was taking.
It took her parents many years and spending a lot of money to consult “experts” but to no avail.
Evelyne had to learn to live with her “problems” and with the support of her parents and siblings she managed to come in term with her sighting.
This is one of her experiences and I believe that she had experienced looking into another dimension. Evelyne remembered that she was twelve years old then, she had uncannily looked into the other side.
While playing badminton with her brother in the backyard, the shuttlecock was hit over to their neighbour’s compound.
When she climbed up the fence looking for the shuttlecock, she saw a couple of old farmers looking at her. Shocked, she screamed for her brother and jumped down from the fence. When Evelyne and her brother took a look over the fence, there was nothing unusual except what could be seen in the neighbour’s backyard.
They ran into the house and related the incident to their mother who took what had happened seriously yet calmly.
I guess, the old farmers could be as shocked as Evelyne because her face appeared from nowhere while they were at work. Who knows, they could be curving a stone face similar to Evelyne and started worshipping her in their dimension!
She might be mistaken to be a fairy or whatever deemed fit in their dimension to take Evelyne to be.

Pudu Prison - Ashes To Ashes
The annihilation of a hundred and fifteen-year old Pudu Prison had finally been” laid to rest” in the hands of greed.
When Pudu Prison was built, it was in the backwater of Pudu where people dreaded to go near. Development had cheated its birthright and today it is blamed as an eye-sore to stand in the heart of the city.
The sadness is not only for the building but also the way its history has been yanked from its roots.
We hear about endangered species and today we are seeing endangered heritage disappearing steadily. Will Pudu Prison be the threshold for more historical sites and buildings to suffer the same fate? If we allow them to happen, they will!
A stone’s throw from Pudu Prison stands Stadium Merdeka. Will its day be numbered so to Stadium Negara? The thought of it sends jitters down my spine.

Saying Good-bye To Pudu Prison
The 20th. June 2010 saw a handful of concerned citizens gathered at the main entrance of Pudu Prison to bid their final farewell.
The historical building, which is a Malaysian heritage will go Humpty-Dumpty tonight (21 June). Once the building is torn asunder only rubbles are left to tell a centenary old stories.
The bottom line is that we have a careless government who does not understand history and what heritage is all about.
The following clips will tell the story of what happened last night to comenmmorate with the final good-bye.

Why MCA?
Why MCA, after 51 years of independence your own race, is treated like
second class citizen?
Why MCA, after more than 50 years of supporting the Alliance/BN, your own race appears to have to beg to get a scholarship?
Why MCA, after more than half a century being part of the ruling government, many of your own race do not see they have a future inMalaysia?
Why MCA, despite being a partner in the BN, when a man said,'bathe the keris in Chinese blood' MCA still wants to support that man?
Why MCA, after so many years of being treated like irrelevant, MCA still cannot make the move to prove to your own race that MCA is'alive and kicking' and still relevant?
Why MCA, despite your ancestors having been in this country hundreds of years earlier than others, your own race are called 'Squatters/pendatang'?
Why MCA, despite knowing that the NEP is obsolete and had benefitedonly a few, MCA does not have the bravery to stand up and say, 'If theNEP is not dismantled, MCA will quit'?
Why MCA, you cannot work with people of your own race for the benefitof every race in the country, but choose to work with a party which isusing race to create fear among your own race?
Why MCA, even after 51 years of independence you can be so blind, to the extent of not being able to see where your own race is heading to?
Why MCA, you are still so obsessed to keep the status quo within the government, despite having very few of your own race in the army,police, petronas, GLC, TNB, govt dept, etc etc etc?
Why MCA, for how much longer are you going to hang around a government which dares to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants and which ever way it wants with or without you around?
Why MCA, are you going to wait until your own race becomes 5% of the total population, before you can get your act together?
Why MCA, when the writing is so clear on the wall, you are still not able to sing
the song 'Why_MCA'?
