Hi Folks,
Long time no hear, ha ha ha typical Malaysian English for sure!
Anyway, in less than 9 days, we will be rolling our carpet for April. Talk about March, flying fast.
Bend It Like Beckham:
On a sad note, we may not see him play the up-coming World Cup in South Africa after an injury. Not a big fan of him, but it is terribly sad not to see him play for England. These days you don't really hear much of David like before, could this mean the beginning of the demise of his football career. Will wait n see.
Parliament in session:
Yes, finally after a break Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat and this time not to mention, Independents (Bebas) will be squaring off for another interesting, winding, lengthy, debates and arguments and drama and rhetorics! We the rakyat will sit and watch and smile and ponder as usual.
Income tax:
Yup, it is approaching, the deadline that is 30 April 2010. Haven't done it yet, but soon. Hopefully not to the last minute. Kudos to the IRB guys for the improvement that they have embark on and now it is on-line. Very convenient. What is important to the rakyat is easy, seamless, convenient, transparent, and consistency in customer service! Cut the bureacratic red tape, this is not the 70s or 80s or 90s. We are in the 21st Century.
Halal in the news:
It is high time that the halal certification through JAKIM and JAIS is in recognition by the Federal government and also Selangor Government for food products and restaurants.
Yes there have been other halal certification bodies in this country, but are they really genuine or really follow strictly to the condition of Halal?
The sad reality is that there are still food products be it domestic and overseas, having variety of halal certification from many sources. What scary is that food product or restaurant declare themselves as halal, only when a thorough investigation is done by the authorities then it is realized that there are loopholes that compromise the status of halal. More must be done to combat this insensitive menace to general consumers who are taking halal food products or dining at restaurants. Creating the Halal awareness is one thing, but enforcing is also another measure that must be upholded at all times.
Halal is basically good hygiene for everybody!
Cheerios!

March already!!!....EarthQuake n Aduan Rakyat
Hi Folks,
It is me and I am back. Darn! February was a pretty slow month for me especially updating the blog. It was certainly a hectic schedule with work n stuff.
Now, here we are on the 2nd day of March and it is still like same things, but just work and nothing else really change.
EarthQuake:
After the massive destruction in Haiti and last weekend it was the South American country of Chile that was on the headlines. Amazingly until today, even the most brilliant scientist or planet Earth expert can't predict the earthquake phenomenon. No doubt we have the equipment and resources to detect earthquake, but you will never know when the next quake will strike.
Here in Malaysia, thankfully we are not in the 'Ring of Fire' or in the major quake belt, but again because of our geographical location and relatively close distance with Indonesia and Philippines, we do have minor tremors.
Personally, I did experience tremor and that was at the office after 5:30p.m. It was weird because you start seeing things around you begin to shake. This was like last year and after watching the news it was confirmed that the tremor affected the Klang Valley.
As a country, we can't simply ignore and take things for granted about earthquake. Currently, the government are taking steps in addressing this but is this really enough? It is good to know that there is special signal to detect Tsunami at our seas and that this was collaboration with all the neighboring countries. There should be special awareness tv ad or infomercial on what to do when an earthquake strikes. It is not about scaring people, it is simply educating and creating an awareness for all of us.
Perhaps we should start train our citizens in preparing for earthquake/tsunami. What should we do at that point of time when the earthquake strikes? Run? Hide? Scream? Of course I am not an earthquake expert or safety expert, but just an average citizen expressiong one's views.
As Malaysians, we should be prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually for possible earthquake or tsunami that may strike our beloved country any time. Let us pray that it may not happen.
Aduan Rakyat:
Bravo! This TV show which was launched sometime back in Jan or Feb 2010 is certainly a top rating. It is a show focusing concerns and complaints by the 'rakyat' on basic infrastructure or resources that doesn't work and putting the local authority into the limelight in order for the action or rectification to take place.
One thing for sure it is not pin pointing finger at anyone, it is simply being accountable to the rakyat and giving the actual answers to the problem.
Basically, this show is not aim to put down any individual, but it give the authorities a wake up call so that at the end of the day, the rakyat deserve to know the answers.
Cheerios!
