Cracks in Putrajaya govt quarters, 515 evacuated

Posted in Politics on March 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

 

I find it rather amusing at times when I come across news like this. Only in Malaysia, we find buildings, stadiums, bridges and roof tops collapsing without even needing a bomb!

AND no one will be held responsible or charged in court, simply because they are UMNO/BN cronies……… you can make multiple police reports but nobody cares.

They are just plain lucky that these buildings did not collapse when it was full with people or children. Somehow I am not surprised why things like this is happening so frequently.

Fresh engineering graduates becoming lecturers in local university! Imagine, you graduate today and tomorrow you are appointed as a lecturer !! Now you know why our graduates are so pathetic and unemployable.

I just hope 1 day, the building will collapse when a VIP is sitting inside. I wonder whether they will take action then.

Cracks in Putrajaya govt quarters, 515 evacuated

 

PUTRAJAYA: Over 500 residents of 76 apartment units of government quarters in Precinct 11 here were evacuated to enable maintenance works to fix cracks and leakages at their premises.

Under jenis bill , it was stated “0“. It means “bill anggaran dari pejabat TNB”

I couldn’t belive myself when I saw the bill.

 TNB seems to be working on remote control…………………

Heroes of Philanthropy

Posted in Politics on March 7, 2010| Leave a Comment »

I wonder where are all the UMNO cronies that Mahathir made rich in the list below!

If you look at the list of top 40 richest man in Malaysia, you will see a number of UMNO cronies who became rich due to their close relationship with Mahathir and due to the misuse of NEP.

But where are they in this list? People who became rich without going through tough times will never do noble things like this as they only want to get richer. I hope Mahathir will live long enough to see all this and realise that there is no short cut to success.

 

Four Malaysians make it into magazine’s Heroes of Philanthropy list

 
KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri T. Ananda Krishnan, Malaysia’s telecommunications (telco), entertainment and property tycoon, and Ruby Khong, the regional director of China Overseas Petroleum Corp, have been featured in Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy.

Both made it into a list of 48 prominent givers to society in the Asia-Pacific region, whose causes range from disaster recovery, education, health and culture to science, with education being the popular choice among the featured philanthropists this year.

Two other Malaysians in the list are Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin, the chief executive of property developer SP Setia and Tan Sri Francis Yeoh, YTL group managing director.

John Koppisch, Associate Editor, Forbes Asia said those listed were not always the biggest givers.

“Instead we aim to highlight a varied group of generous people, some holdovers from last year, but mostly new names who deserve recognition. By calling attention to these 48 (givers) we hope to encourage more giving,” he said in a statement yesterday.

According to Forbes, Ananda, who received a scholarship to earn his undergraduate degree at Melbourne University, has been extensively developing talents through school programmes.

Through his privately-owned company Usaha Tegas, he has helped underprivileged, high-achieving Malaysian students of South Asian descent to continue their studies in non-Tamil secondary schools, as well as supporting education for other groups in Malaysia.

 Generous donors: Giving away to various charitable causes are (from left) Ananda Krishnan, Khong, Liew and Yeoh.

The global financial crisis hammered fortunes all over Asia, but the past year was still a good one for Ruby Khong who donated US$400,000 (RM1.32mil) to the Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK), which she helps to run.

She was homeless in her teens and started the kitchen in 2006 with five friends. KSK delivers 830 packets of vegetarian food a week to the urban poor in Kuala Lumpur.

Liew, through SP Setia Foundation which he set up in 2000, pays the school fees and basic essentials for 2,300 children a year. It also provides medical aid to the disabled and poor as well as community enrichment programmes.

One of Yeoh’s charitable acts is the Pride Foundation, which promotes awareness of breast cancer and provides support to victims.

Yeoh was also honored by Queen Elizabeth II with a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his philanthropic work.

Last year, four Malaysians were listed as Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy: Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Ahmadshah Abdullah, Sunway Group founder and chairman Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah, Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing and Datuk Raya Erom.

Sex Education

Posted in Education on March 4, 2010| 1 Comment »

I took the following info from the Malaysian Insider, from the column written by James Chin. It is rather interesting to note the findings of the survey mentioned below.
Despite all these misinformation, we still have teachers who decline to teach sex education simply because they are not trained to do so.
BTW, looking at the quality of the teachers nowadays, I am not surprised at all. If the teachers can’t teach, please outsource the subject! 
 
As a doctor, I have seen teenagers as young as 14 years old being involved in promiscuity, male and female included. The youngest HIV case I have seen is 16 years old school girl. But the shocking truth is that none of them do it “protected”. you know what I mean. I have spoken to some of them and they don’t seem to realise the consequences. I have had a patient who did not even know that she can get pregnant by having sex!! Talk about quality of our education!
 
Our government is fond of sweeping everything under the carpet. To my knowledge, they have been talking about this sex education issues over the last 10-15 years and yet we hear the same answer all the time. We have to face the fact that it is an unavoidable situation in any developing or developed country, whether we like it or not. Our youngsters are exposed to various external influences and most of their parents are working nowadays (ourselves included). Gone are the days when most of our mothers were housewives who closely monitor us everyday.
 
No amount of canning “illicit” sex offenders etc etc is going to change this. Our “father” Hishamudin who proudly declared the successfull canning of 3 girls secretly( i still believe that this story was made up!), suddenly got caught when a 3 year old girl was tortured and killed by a boyfriend of her mother. The mother has been staying with her boyfriend for 6 years and has an illegitimate child!! So , are you going to cane the mother????  you saw the silence from him! Sharizat to the rescue? This is what I call God-given big “tahi” slap!
 
Malaysian teachers say ‘no’ to sex education

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian teachers are saying “no” to teaching sex education in schools. They lack professional training in teaching the subject, National Union of Teaching Profession (NUTP) secretary-general Lok Yim Pheng said Tuesday.

She said while the union fully supported the Government’s move to provide sex education in schools, “sadly, the teachers lack formal training in the complexity and sensitivity of the subject and are not confident to teach it.”

Lok said the teachers were afraid they might be sued by the parents “if they were to make mistakes in imparting the knowledge of sex to the pupils.”

Malaysia is a multiracial, religious and cultural nation with each ethnic group having its own notion on the subject, which makes teaching more challenging, she noted.

So no sex education please, we are Malaysians!

The end result, read this:

Oriental Daily reported that a youth had asked a salesgirl for help to buy condoms at a convenience shop.

The 17-year-old had gone to the counter and told the salesgirl he wanted to buy condoms at the shop in Kajang on Friday night.

When the salesgirl asked him the size, he dropped his pants and told her that was the size he wanted.

When the salesgirl screamed, the youth ran away. He was detained after the salesgirl lodged a police report.

Or this:

Tangled in web of sex myths

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian women demonstrated the depth of their ignorance by emerging the most ill-informed in a recent survey on sex-related issues conducted across Southeast Asia.

A majority of women in Malaysia believe, among other things, that sexual intercourse during menstruation cannot lead to pregnancy, wearing brassieres can cause breast cancer and that they can enlarge their breasts by touching them.

Some are confident that riding a bicycle will cause them to lose their virginity and that bleeding after sexual intercourse confirmed a woman’s virginity.

The Kotex BodyLife IQ survey was carried out among 1,800 women aged between 16 and 24 in Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. In Malaysia, the women surveyed were from a cross-section of all races.

In Malaysia, the survey results show:

– Only three per cent of women can answer all questions about their bodies;

– 60 per cent believe they can enlarge their breasts by touching them;

– 57 per cent do not know where their hymen is;

– 56 per cent believe having sex during menstruation cannot lead to pregnancy;

– 55 per cent believe that wearing brassieres can cause breast cancer;

– 41 per cent believe bleeding after sex confirmed a woman’s virginity;

– 24 per cent believe women can lose their virginity by riding a bicycle; and,

– 21 per cent think eating a lot will hasten their menstruation.

Since many young people cannot get proper information on sex, where do you think they turn to?

75 pct Malaysians learn bedroom sex secrets from Internet

Kuala Lumpur, October 13 (ANI): As many as 75 per cent of Malaysians have Internet to thank for providing them information on sex, a new poll suggests. According to the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Survey, men were ahead when compared to women in using the World Wide Web to surf about bedroom passion.

Other sources included magazines with as many as seventy-three per cent of the respondents relying on them, reports The Star Online.

Sixty-five per cent turned to books, 56 per cent to friends and peers, and 43 per cent to their partners.

Sex education at school made up for only 36 per cent. (ANI)

Is it any wonder that all the Ah Beng selling DVDs has a ready market for porn DVDs?  Is it any wonder that the number of teenage pregnancies are on the rise? A lot of social and political issues in this country are caused by religious Fascists who are trying to impose their worldview on the majority.

If we don’t stand up to these people, your children will inherit a Malaysia ruled by the Bolehland Taliban.

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Posted in Education on March 1, 2010| Leave a Comment »

I received this SMS from a friend of mine and I must say it made my day.

” Took a friend to DIGI yesterday. ” I am from US. Can I get a line?” Girl looked intensely at the passport, finally: “U amreeka ke US?” Tell me ….. should I laugh or cry”.

As i said earlier, this is the effect of screwing up our education for the last 25 years, when UMNO started influencing the education system. Education should never been politicised.

We have Geography and History books that have been manipulated so that the students will  not know anything else other than the great UMNO’s achievements  and ketuanan crap. Do you know that the students nowadays do not read any other history of the world!! BTW , the history of Malaya starts only from the time Parameswara steps his foot on Malacca!

The only other history they read other than Malaysia’s, is history of Islam (tamadun Islam) which takes about 5 out of 10 chapters for SPM! I can bet you that they won’t even know who is Abraham Lincoln, Hitler, Stalin etc etc. I don’t understand why they have to bring religious civilization into the syllabus. If so what happen to the Christian empire, Hindu Empire etc etc.

This is what I call, manipulation of the young’s mind to benefit the ruling party! Please read the history of Nazi’s, you will see the similarities. Gob Bless.
