I'd like to believe that the steep climb data is caused by a stall when the pilot tried to make a normal climb. Massive wind shear could make planes stall and tip the plane almost perpendicular to the ground, and wind shears are very likely to happen in storms.

I only knew of Cayman Islands as a place where newly-rich criminals and shifty billionaire tycoons put their money in order to escape legality or criminal charge, like tax evasion or money laundering. Its privacy laws when dealing with foreign funds means that there is no such thing as transparency when it comes to their clients information. Trying to get even a meager information about their clients will cost a lot of time and money.
That is why so many criminal elements chose the island for parking their illicit gains. After all, when there is a place to put your money away from prying eyes, why bother putting your money locally where it can be investigated and traced under local laws? Notice that even rich global firms like Google or Microsoft stayed clear of parking their funds there despite the obvious 'benefits', choosing instead fund managers in their home country.
This gives a pretty solid justification for an investigation into the 1MDB issue.

Online trading is the fastest way to get acquainted with entrepreneurship without hassles of pointless people networking, middlemen, or company tax. It's just the Internet equivalent of a local small-time kuih seller by the street. There's no need to make such small trades illegal, not at times when people are taking 2 or 3 extra jobs just to make ends meet.
That being said, there IS a need to somehow track online sales in case of cheats or bad service, to protect the rights of both side of the trade. Perhaps a new category of business registration is needed on the side of KPDNKK, one that caters solely to non-brick-and-mortar type of business.

All I'm advocating for is not to simply stamp these djinn stuffs as pseudoscientific and ignore them. Instead, these knowledge regarding supernatural and metaphysical phenomenons should be properly codified for the global scientific community to debate and verify. Thus, we can also rely on measurable, accurate information, to support or refute existing anecdotal information from faith-healers. If we don't codify the information in the first place, we can't ever hope to distinguish fact from fiction.
Would it please you to know that many that which we called proper science today, like microbiology, aerodynamics, electronics and astrophysics, are also considered pseudo-science in their infancy? They wouldn't even exist if scientists are restricted to judge things solely on what we could tangibly measure. Pioneers of those fields take a lot of pounding, not only from religious figures, but also from their own peers. It took them a lot to devise proper measurement methods and observations before their ideas took flight.
Such inability to push your observational ability beyond your physical senses is exactly why many leaders of the nation, ruling party or not, are stuck permanently in the mud, and why our nation have few groundbreaking scientific research.

That's what we call atheistic science, the most popular subculture in scientific community nowadays. In its present form, atheistic science disbelief anything that cannot be measured or anything disproportionate. It means that atheistic science isn't all-encompassing as its proponents claim to be, for without a drive to know the immeasurable, science will be stuck in a rut.
All good scientists should have a little faith to drive them forward, regardless of what religion they adhere, or even if they profess no religion at all. Faith provides a challenge for science to verify a religious status quo. It also provides a basis of morality and individual ethics for scientific applications. Eg. Without a sufficient morality, a nuclear physicist can be easily tempted into testing radiation hazards on land without a care for wellbeing of others.
As for the djinn forum, I believe it's a sound scientific attempt at unravelling the still-unknown, in-line with one of Islam's pillar of faith; belief in the unknown. This commandment compels Muslim to investigate the unknowable. Anecdotes of djinn or its equivalent phenomenon in other cultures (Chinese kwei, German geist, etc., Malay hantu) are well-documented, but there are few scholarly studies into it. Because of that, faith healers and witchdoctors remain the primary references for such topic, but with so many charlatans abound, such references are weak at best, untrustworthy at worse. It is better to have proper scientific methods into documenting such phenomenons, rather than depends on oral anecdotes from bomohs or sinseh.

If it was easy for needy Muslims to get zakat funds, there wouldn't be any need for programs like Bersamamu on TV.
But to be fair, the difficulties for Muslims to get zakat seems to be localized. Some district offices are very proactive in finding needy Muslims, while for some, it seems that they want the poor and the infirm to walk to their offices instead to go through the red tapes.

There is nothing wrong in trying to find a new way to heal, even if it does delve into things people call supernatural or unscientific. Some new sciences started out as 'magic', and evidences are found only later, such as the string theory or the germ hypotheses.
In Islam, one of the Pillars of Faith is to believe in the unknown or invisible (ghaib). When this 'unknown' is spoken of, Muslims' first impression is that it's all about jinns and Satan and stuffs. It doesn't have to be; unknown things can also be undiscovered or unproven science. This, I believe, is also the prime driver behind the Muslim scientific pioneers in the Islamic Golden Age.
Believe it or not, many Malaysians be they Muslims or not, are deeply superstitious. Just look at how many Malays went to bomohs first instead of doctors during illnesses. Wonder why are car registrations having the numbers 8 in them get fully booked all the time, and why so many buildings have floor 3A instead of 4. Guess how charlatans can get rich just by having beards, wearing robes and selling dubious sandalwood charms at temple.
So, if there is a scientific methodology formed to monitor the unpredictable nature of faith healing, to provide alternative counsel and to try derive any measurable result from the faith healings, by all rights it should be a good move. It's much better than going to magic practitioners who may not know the full consequence of their actions, or worser still, are hellbent on just scamming you.

Indeed. I also worked with ICT system builders, and from what I heard from teachers and students involved, the implementations at all stage showed severe lack of experience and development methods. No proof of concepts run, no pilot tests, no proper staff training, nothing. It's like installing the stuffs and hoping everyone gets the idea. YTL, despite having big money, obviously doesn't even consider roping in a proper experienced system developer as a subcontractor to spearhead the project.
I don't oppose the idea of a VLE, because it has been tried and practiced in many developed countries as well as local private schools. But come on, don't let it be a white elephant project. With so many white elephants already in the country, probably it would only be a matter of time before Thailand sue us for usurping their image (Thailand, land of the white elephant, get it?).

Meh, if you ask Johoreans living nearby the area, the resounding majority would feel that Iskandar Malaysia is just a Singapore/China ghost colony. 90% of the houses there are above Rm700K, way beyond the income of average Malaysian young family who are always the pioneer settler in a new housing neighborhood. That'll mean that only bigtime money burner from Malaysia or those said countries will buy the houses. Since these fatcats are not settlers, that'll mean that Iskandar Malaysia WILL become a ghost town.

Are they indirectly saying that Majlis Agama Islam Selangor has approved a heathen event that is against Islam? My, my, that is a serious allegation against a state government agency.
I won't pay much attention to these guys, since almost anything in the world is an insult to them anyway. A pathological inferiority complex that might warrant medical attention.
