Read the news at The Star.

Be careful of what is been posted online. Malaysia Police are smart, okay.

Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

Mahathir also know how to pose. Great!!!

mahathir was born on 20th December 1925 in Alor Star, Kedah. His Indian father was a school teacher migrated from Kerala, Southwest India. While his mother was A Malay. Tun generally regards himself as a Malay ethnic but is a strong supporter of Indian community in Malaysia. He sold banana fritters (pisang goreng) during the Japanese occupation of Malaya to help his family financially.

A prominent figure in Malaysia

Mahathir became the Prime Minister of Malaysia on 16 July 1981 when Tun Hussein Onn stepped down due to health reasons. After 22 years in office, Mahathir retired on October 31, 2003, making him one of Asia’s longest-serving political leaders. Upon his retirement on 31 October 2003, Mahathir was awarded a “Tun”-ship, Malaysia’s highest civilian honour.

Tun attended Malay school before persuing his education in Sultan Abdul Hamid College. Then he went for a medical degree in King Edward VII Medical College in Singapore. During this time, he contributed to The Straits Times newspaper under the pen name of “Che Det”. He joined the goevernment service soon after graduate. On 5th August 1956, he married Tun Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali (former classmate in college). In 1957, he set up his own private clinic in Alor Star.

As a fellow student under his Vision 2020 (Wawasan 2020), we definitely have learned a lot about him throughout our daily life in school. As a fellow Malaysian, we have heard and see alot about him whether in person or in the tv and read alot about him in the newspaper. He made several landmarks during his term as the Prime Minister. Among those are removing royal veto and royal immunity from prosecution. He also turned malaysia into a regional high-tech manufacturing, financial and telecommunications hub through his economic policies. As what we can see, he realised alot of projects including but not limited to Perwaja Steel, Proton car, Astro satelite tv, Multimedia Super Coridor, North South Expressway, futuristic administration centre Putrajaya, KLIA, Bakun Dam and Petronas Twin Towers. However, as an MMU student, I must thank him for idealising Malaysia’s first private university; Multimedia University.

Honorary Doctorate of Knowledge Science in the year 2004, MMU

During the financial crisis in 1997, his wisdom has brought us out from the economic grive. Eventhough IMF has given Malaysia a recovery fund, he rejected it. During the crisis, Malaysia Ringgit plunged from RM2.50 per USD to RM4.80 per USD. Composite index fell of from about 1300 to just 400 points within weeks. Tun’s defensive measures and his refusal to take in loan from IMF has allowed Malaysia to be free from financial bond. Today, Malaysia’s economic has prosper relatively faster and more stable than affected neighbouring countries. IMF and World Bank acknowledged that his approach had worked.

In 2002 a tearful[44] Mahathir announced his resignation to a surprised UMNO General Assembly. He was persuaded to stay on for a further eighteen months, in a carefully planned handover that ended in October 2003. Since retirement, he has been serving as an advisor to the Malaysian national oil company Petronas and the Malaysian national car company Proton, an original core national project initiated by Mahathir during his premiership. He is also the head of the Perdana Leadership Foundation, a foundation whose aim is to preserve, develop and spread materials regarding or written by previous Malaysian Prime Ministers. While he has retired from all political offices, he remains very outspoken regarding national policies.

On 1st of May , he started his blog (maybe coz labour day, he no need to work, so he is free to do so), chedet.com. It uses blogspot as it’s engine. However, the domain was registered on 9th April. He simply describe himself as the Prime Minister of Malaysia 1981-2003. he claims the site is dedicated to publishing his writings as and when he is able to pen his thoughts and opinion.

Dont pray pray with Malaysia’s bloggers. Tun is on our side now
p/s this does not mean he condone whatever bad or nasty bloggers write

p/s coincidently, my dream is to sell pisang goreng. If someone who used to sell pisang goreng to help his family and become 1 of the most respectful person in Malaysia, why can’t I be 1 rite???

ZOMFG!!! Hijab swimwear does exist!!!

In Malaysia, it is normal to see female Muslim dressed in long pants, a loose t-shirt and tudung jump into the pool. Just now, after came back from my dinner, I walked towards my balcony and looked down. Then, I was like ZOMFG!!! I spotted 4 females in the pool with wierd swimwear. After observing it for some time, I noticed it was not some females dressed in swimwear and tudung, but it is a proper swimwear with hijab!!!

Decided to Google it. To my amaze, these kind of swimwear does exist. How come I never come across this kind of swimwear in any outlets that sell swimwear in Malaysia? Those females I spotted wore exactly the same swimsuits designs found from this website. Don’t ask me how I can found a Malaysian website selling the exact designs I saw. That’s the power of Google. All I need to do is just pray to the All Mighty Google:

O, Google the omnipotent,
please, grant this lowly user
a bit of your wisdom,
For I seek answers to my question.
O, Google the merciful,
let them not be all dead links, and
O, Google the modest,
please, spare this user of the pr0n.
Amen, Amen, Amen!

Seriously, did you think I just did that? Lol… All you need to do is just use the relevant keywords with the necessary booleans. Then, it will do it’s magic.

p/s: you can check out The Church of Google for guides on how to use Google search engine in a more effective manner. I am no way a member of it or promoting it. I just find the information inside the site useful to be shared.

Of heart attack and warm water. Fwd email from dad.

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks – You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweatingare also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life. Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

A Miracle happened in KK?

Save Our Sumatran Rhinos

This is a community message brought to you by ian.Tam

Sumatran Rhinos is one of the only 5 species of rhinos is that still walking on Earth today. It is only found in Asia. It is Malaysia’s most endangered species and world’s most endangered rhino species. Some interesting facts about this Sumatran Rhinos:

• It is the smallest amongst the 5 species of rhinos still alive today.
• But it has the most fur. Helping it to survive in high altitude especially in the Sumatra.
• Female Sumatran Rhinos get pregnant for 400 days!!! That’s more than a year. Human only about 40 weeks (9 months).

Forestation and poaching activities have lead to the rapid declination in Sumatran Rhinos population.  According to International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), the major threats to their extinction are:

• Habitat Loss/Degradation – Extraction – Wood
• Habitat Loss/Degradation – Infrastructure development – Human settlement
• Harvesting (hunting/gathering)

Under the Red List Sumatran Rhinos has been marked as critically endangered. Red List status: CR A1bcd, C2a. Despite being big and have two horns and the furious look, this rhino is a herbivore.

There has been effort to prevent further extinction of this species, but limited. As part of Honda’s environmental commitment, Honda Malaysia has partnered with WWF-Malaysia launched the ‘Rhino Rescue’ project; Save Our Sumatran Rhinos. It is supported by Perhilitan, Perak States Corporation, Sabah Wildlife Department and Yayasan Sabah Group. The project focuses on Danum Valley in Sabah and Royal Belum State Park in Perak.

Show your support by telling your friends and putting up a logo on your site or blog. Would you want you future generations to see this creature live? For me, if I will have kids, I want them to see this horny creature in real life, not in the glass enclosed cubicle in Sabah State Museum nor those stupid flash animated stuff.

Get your logo here, NOW!!!.
