Nothing is impossible


Dream come true:Small little girl gets to meet the Digi's yellow men

Well personally I believe that “Nothing is impossible”. If you have strong spirit of determination, your dream will come true.
Well, let me share with you all the news that I read. This is just normal news, not really hot news. But I feel like want to share with you all about the news that I read.
Well I believe that most of the Malaysian had been watching the Digi advertisement in the television. Once the yellow men appear we know that this is one of the mobile phone's coverage companies in Malaysia-Digi.
There is the cute and curious small little girl who calls Rachel Chan, 7 years old. Because of the Little Rachel Chan had been so enchanted by the yellow men on TV that she wanted to meet them. So the seven-year-old wrote them a letter. Because she watched the Digi men in the TV that the Digi men liked to follow people. She is welcome the Digi men follow her to come to her house and follow her to school. While everyone think that this is impossible and just a little small girl are trying to make a day dream.Well, surprisingly she got her wish. The Digi men really appear in front of her at her house and follow Rachel going to school. This is much to the envy of her schoolmates who were assembled in the hall.
Imagine the little small girl also has the determination to achieve her dream then I wonder why we cannot achieve our dream as well. As long as we are willing to take a first step further to achieve our dream like the Rachel Chan writing the Digi men with the letter. I think that your dream already success for the half way.
Well that day for the Rachel Chan end up with happily by dancing with their ‘boing-boing dance with the Digi men and thousand-odd students.

Students...


Well last week the SPM and STPM results were out. Some of students feel happy with their results some of them might not think so. All the hard work is given out just because they wanted to get the good results to be shown in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia( SPM )and Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia(STPM )results slip.
I noticed that the trend of taking more papers than required for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination is getting seriously. This trens started only following the introduction of the open certificate in 2000. Personally I don’t get any point why students have to take more subjects.
The school authorities said Science students could take Arts papers. It means that students are compulsory to take 12 papers required for Science stream students and these students can take additional Arts subjects if they like. However students have to pay themselves the exam fees for the extra subjects.
Some of them think that taking additional subjects was just a matter of interest. Science stream students may be wanted to take Accounts in case their wanted to do it as a career. But it must be hard for students to balance between studying and living.Taking more subjects seemed like students are trying to commit suicide. Students are taking the risk. It is pretty hard for students to manage their time well. Besides this students take more subjects simply because about their ‘kiasu’ attitude. Students nowadays are just blindly following the trend for taking more subjects. This is simple to show that students are ‘kiasu’. They may just want to prove they can do it, some may just want to see how they fare and some simply just want to test themselves.
Well I think that we should not just look at the results. What is important is for the children to learn life skills.Life students just know to study but don't have life skills is just like we are eating burger without fries.

Malaysia boleh



Malaysia Boleh! Yes, hope that It is not too late for me to congratulate Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong for their excellent performance in winning the All- England Men’s doubles title at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham last Sunday. This is certainly made all Malaysians feel proud of it. They should be rewarded accordingly. They played the game excellent. Their performance is a sign of a revival for Malaysian badminton.
I hope that Malaysians people will be simulated by their achievement. I hope that the win will inspire others to emulate their example. Work hard and develop your potential to the maximum and achieve excellence in what you do.
Even though we don’t have best facilities and the best coaches in the world, but if you lack the drive and the determination, all hope of winning anything would have already been lost. The key to success is simply about the passion and desire to win.
By this achievement I hope that we can show to the world that we can do it as well. We can train to churn out the best sportsmen and athletes in the world as well. Be proud to be Malaysians. Show the people in the world we are made in, Malaysians, so that we may really be proud to say Malaysia Boleh! I do hope that other Malaysian athletes will build up the Malaysia reputation in the world that we can compete in the international arena, to bring glory to our country.

Corruption in Malaysia

There are things in the world that we can not deny about. Among the ethnic in Malaysia, Chinese society is the most people getting involve in the corruption compare to the others. This has become the Malaysian Chinese society “culture” in involving this unmoral activity. According to the survey, the percentage for Chinese society involve in the corruption activity for last year is about 58%, Indian 23%, while Malay society is the lowest among the other which is only 14%.

It is understood that people would not try to get themselves involve in the corruption if they have a choice. Try to ask yourself: “Who will like to pay unnecessary money to the other people?” If the situation is not allowed then people only will try to do whatever they can (even break the laws) as long as they will not get into any trouble. I can see why a policeman for example would accept a bribe to let someone go free - they are often underpaid and extra cash is always a tempting prospect. There are several reasons why people are engaged in the corruption.

First, people think that corruption is to avoid any incontinence. People don’t want to get into the trouble if they think that money is the root to settle for all problems. Second, people will pay less than the actual amount that they need to pay. Third, people want to avoid in any complicated process such as going to the government organization to pay for the ‘saman’. This is rather waste of the time.

To achieve the vision 2020, we do hope that we can have a clean, good and corruption-free Government and an administration that provides high quality and excellent services.

Safer Drive

Good work: SAC Nooryah thanking some of the policemen who took part in Ops Sikap XII.

Well I would like to congratulate for the efficiency in reducing the numbers of accident occur during the Chinese New Year festival. I hope that the police will continue to practice for longer period not just a few days. Only through this serious operation the driver will only learn to be respected in the basic traffic laws. The present of ops sikap operation has proven to be effective in ensuring that drivers strictly followed the law while on the road. The ops sikap operation had been showing the positive results by deployment the policemen in the express buses to ensure that the bus drivers obeyed traffic laws. This treatment should be made to other road user as well.
In my opinion, instead of highlighting the number of deaths and accidents, I think that the ops sikap operation should report the poor attitudes among the road user. I think polices who involved in these ops sikap operation should highlight the bad behaviors of the road user. By highlighting this, public can further understand and be educate what drivers with bad attitudes mean. They should highlight daily about the number of drivers caught speeding, overtaking at double lines, overtaking using emergency lanes of the highways, beating the traffic lights and a host of other attitude related offences. Fine the road user who breaks the traffic laws so that they learn to take the responsibility with what they do.
I think the main purpose for the road safety programme is trying to make us more courteous and safe drivers and not just to prevent accidents and deaths on roads. Road user have to educate by not being so reckless while they all driving. Be a good road user to prevent the accident happening. Love yourself, love your family members. Always be aware while you are driving.

Thousands usher in new year


Happy Chinese New Year!!! This year is brand new year. In this year of Boar I do hope that everyone can live peacefully and happily.
Like usual, every first day of CNY, Our MCA will have an open house to invite all Malaysians from all walks of life to celebrate together the CNY. This is unique for having this culture for Malaysians to strengthen each other relationship during the festival. Ten of thousand of Malaysians even the visitors (foreigners) can also come and join together the celebration. There do have lion dance performance during that day. This has been created the situation even hotter.
But it is sad for me to say that most of the people attend this open house don’t queue up in order to get their foods. People there seemed that afraid they don’t have food to eat. So they wanted to grad their foods. For me this action is rather rudeness and spoils our image in front of the visitors. What will visitors think about for these rude actions of grading the foods? No only this, actually most of the Malaysians don’t really like to queue in order to get their turn. They like to cut the queue. Most Malaysians seemed that they are impatience. They can’t wait. They just wanted to get thing done soon. Like even driving the car, once traffic jam they will break the rule to use the emergency line.
I think Malaysians have to take this issue seriously and improved from the mistake that we did. In order to retain our good reputation we definitely have to change this bad habits.

Goverment wants suggestions on improving delivery system


Currently Malaysia government is asking Malaysian to give some suggestions on improving delivery system from all walks of life. This is good that government knows their problems and wants to improve the delivery system. It is good that the Malaysia government knows their problem and takes it seriously. Even it is a bit late to release the problems has already been facing long time ago but I think late is better then the government don’t release the failure of the delivery system.
Personally I feel that when I call to the government helpline to seek for help .It is so frustrated to hear that “please hold on your line, I will pass your problems or questions to other department in charge. It is not just a moment to wait until the other department to answer your phone. It takes long time to passing the phone to other department in charge. I think they are not efficiency in their work. They suppose already had training with their work before they start working. How come they still don’t know how to handle customer’s request. The other main service that needs to be improved is serving the customer with speed. It is like our culture that serving customers slowly by the government servant. Customers used to wait long time only can be served by them. I wonder and always asked myself that ‘why they couldn’t serve customers even faster as possible’. Time is precious. Customers sometime have to wait for half day only reaches their turn to be served.
But one thing I feel proud of the government servant services is about their civil service. They are good in providing the civil services for the customers. They used to smile happily and greed the customers before they providing their services for the customers.
In the conjunction of the visit Malaysia 2007 I do hope that the government takes this issue seriously and improved it immediately. This is good to have good reputation by giving the foreigner the best of the best services as we can.

Safety for visitors in the shopping complex


When you think about a city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, what comes to mind? Lots of shopping complexes right here. So Kuala Lumpur is well known as Shopping havens like Time square, Chinatown, Central market and the many luxurious shopping complexes. As this year is visiting Malaysia 2007, shopping complexes have become the place which must be going by the foreigners.
But what had been happened to our shopping complexes? I feel frightening when I read the news that 30 guns shot by the robbers last Saturday night at the Poh Kong goldsmith shop Subang Parade shopping mall. What happened for the visitors when there were visiting the shopping complex on that time? According to the shop owner there (other shop owner), customers went inside their shop so that they could run away from any injured or being shot by the guns. The robbery did not take other visitor’s life here into consideration at all. So if this continued to be happened again there is no safer to go to any shopping complex even though to catch a movie in the cinema.

This is not only the case happened in the shopping complex, before this we used to come across that snatch thieves always happened at the shopping complex car park. Women always become the target of the robbers or being raped by rapist. Once the visitors feel that their life being threaten If they go to any shopping complexes in Malaysia. They will stop for going to shopping if unnecessary. Hence the business for the shopping complexes will go downhill because the visitors do not want to come
By promoting visit Malaysia 2007 I think we need to improve our security system at shopping complex in order to assure the safety for the visitors. We definitely have to do something to make the visitors feel confidence enough to come to shopping. I strongly suggested that CCTV or screening checks should be fixed on it in every corner of shopping complex. By having this security will immediately come to the place to give the protection to the visitors. Beside this it will increase the number of visitors to come over shopping again. This is something must do in order to gain back the confidence while they come to shopping. We expected 20 millions of visitors for this year in conjunction to the visit Malaysia is no longer a dream anymore by enforcing our security system at shopping mall.

Say No to the Ah Longs

It is very obvious that people will tend to borrow money once they are having financial problem with illegal moneylenders. Borrower knows once they fail to settle their debts, they will be threatening badly by Ah Longs such as your property being pain in red colors. The actions of violence wreaked are not only can be seen in the movie. In reality they do have happened in our society. Worst of all, even the borrower’s family member will be involved into the actions of violence wreaked. We always come a cross lots of people saying that how miserable their life being threaten by Ah Long. But sadly people will still do it even they know what Ah Longs are capable of doing if they fail to settle their debts.
According to Ah long victims, Ah Longs will come to you in the right time to offer you some money while people facing financial problem. People definitely can say No to them and to find out the solution they can go to the licensed moneylenders.
I totally agree that cops want to prosecute Ah Long’s victims. Borrower also should find themselves prosecuted. It is good way to teach public a lesson. We should also have penalty for people who borrow money from Ah Longs. By having this implementation, people will afraid of the consequence of borrowing money with Ah Longs. I’m sure this can deter people who want to borrow money with Ah Longs.
Money is root of all evil. People are always complaining that they don’t have enough money to use. But borrow money from loan sharks is no the only way to solve your problem. Somehow it does create even more problems for the people. Before people want to borrow money with loan sharks I do hope that they will think about their safety of their family problem. A nice family can be destroying once you start to borrow money with Ah Longs. Please say “NO” to the Ah Longs.

Flood Resolution

It is good to get the news that the water had been receded and the flood’s victims can return to their house after the second wave. But should they just return their home without planning or doing something to prevent the flood which might be attacked again? Yes the natural disaster is inevitable. But I believed that we can definitely do something to lighten up the impact of the flood.
Flood is no longer a new issue that we discussed anymore. It existed long time ago and yet we have not seriously taking this issues into consideration. Since that flood had becoming a hot issue again I hope that citizen can seriously pay attention to this issue and come out with the flood resolution.
Prevention is better than cure. The major cause of flood in Malaysia is because of the poor drainage system. We don’t have enough drainage available for excess water to flow thus resulting in flood. I think our rivers and drains need to be rid of silt in order to minimize or reduce flood issues. Other reason which causes the flood happening, worst of all is because of the human being who liked to throw the rubbish to the drain. This might be causing the excess water to flow resulting in floods. This is our cultural of throwing rubbish. Because of this unmoral behaviors or actions, it causes the flood to happen. What comes around goes around. After this flood experience I hope our citizen will know what they should do by educating them not to throw the rubbish into drain or river. This problem can be resolved by cleaning the drain up in order for the excess water flow into river.
I do hope that all Malaysian live peacefully without any disaster. Please make our country peace and harmony in conjunction to the Visit Malaysia 2007.

Sisters's deaths

This is really sad to read this article about the sisters's deaths recently.Even now all the Malaysians are wondering what happened to both of the sisters.What is the reason the death of the sisters.I am wonder also what happened to both of them.Police have just reclassification the death of two sisters abetment to suicide with the notes that the girls were being forced into prostitution.
I personally feel that they are quite self fish to do so because everything have the way to solve the problem.They seemed that do not know how to love themselves.Anything can be solved at the end no matter how tough of the environment.Maybe they can discuss with the family members or friends to come out with the solutions.They are still young.They even have not enjoy the world or see through the world yet.Their parents are so sad.Have them even think about their parents as a results of their action of this?The problem can never be solved with their's death.Whatever we want to do please think about the consequence before we do it.
