Sedih sekali saya melihat keadaan anak-anak muda yang terpaksa ditidur di atas lantai yang bertikar plastik .Walaupun, Perdana Menteri memperuntukan RM 1 billion melalui Tabung Khas Pembinaan, Penambahbaikan dan Penyelengaraan Sekolah akan tetapi  Jabatan Pelajaran Daerah Klang mendakwa tidak ada sebarang peruntukan untuk menganjurkan program latihan Pusat Acara Merentas Desa.

Best Auspicious Day To Start Working After Chinese New Year In 2012

By now I am sure a lot of you are eager to know when is the best (most auspicious) day in 2012 for you to start working again (开工日) after this Dragon Chinese New Year right? They say it is important for us to start working again on an auspicious day after Chinese New Year, so that our whole year will be a prosperous, smooth-sailing year filled with all the luck and wealth that we need. So if you had a bad year last year, it was probably because you started working on the wrong day after Chinese New Year! So don't make the same mistake again in this new Dragon Year.

Photobucket
When should you start working again after Chinese New Year?

As you know there are 12 different zodiac animals in the lunar calender, hence each zodiac animal has different best day(s) to start working again. You need to know you are born on which year to start working again! It seems that those who were born in the year of Tiger, Rabbit, Horse, Goat, Dog and Pig have BEST days to start working again (refer to the chart). This Dragon Year certainly belongs to both the Tiger and Pig as both as not 1 but 2 BEST days to start working again after Chinese New Year. Not fair at all right? LOL :D

Photobucket
The best day to start working again after Chinese New Year for:
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon & Snake.

Photobucket

The best day to start working again after Chinese New Year for:
Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog & Pig.

As for me, a raging bull...I don't have any BEST day to start working again after Chinese New Year. I do have several so-called GOOD days to work after my break. Unfortunately I have to resume my work on the 30th of January (Monday) which will be a BAD day for me. So how? My whole year will be ruined? Well...I guess I can't help it then. I am sure I can control my very own destiny in the year of the Dragon. :/ Hopefully you guys are able to start working again on your very best day. :)

Photobucket
Pick the BEST cut-out working day for yourself. :)

破壞力就是影響力


一个人拥有工作能力、建设能力,才能得到与其能力相符的回酬。工作能力越高,或者对组织的建设越大,回酬也就成正比的越多。这是台面上的酬庸法则。

一个组织或单位要能产生某种服务,或生产某种货物,才能以有关服务或货物,交换价值相等的偿付。这是符合商业原理的交易法则。

但是,在任何社会,除了那些摆在台面上、符合正常原理的法则之外,还有一些藏在台面下、不符正常规范的法则。

这类台底下的法则,其中一种,叫做破坏力法则。这道法则与正常的酬庸法则和交易法则的逻辑,刚好背道而驰。

酬庸法则和交易法则的逻辑是,我付酬给你,是要你做某些事情;而破坏力法则的逻辑是,我付酬给你,是要你不做某些事情,就是不要搞破坏。正常酬庸法则和交易法则的原则是,建设能力越大,获得的报价就越高;而破坏力法则的原则是,破坏能力越大,能够换取的赏金就越高。

私会党向店家小贩索取保护费,被勒索店家小贩之所以愿意付钱,并不指望私会党人真的能提供什么保护,而是用钱换取他们不搞破坏。私会党人马越众多、武器越精良、作风越凶悍,破坏力也就越大,能够勒索到的保护费就越多。

每个政党里也总有那么一些乱人,每逢党选开打,依例向各候选人讨要利益。候选人明明知道这些人根本一票都没有,也绝帮不上什么忙,但也不能不给一点好处,最起码不得罪他们,怕的就是他们造谣中伤、挑拨离间的破坏力,一个不小心,可能就影响到自己的胜算。乱人造谣功力越强、造谣内容越惊爆,破坏力就越大,候选人就得付出越多去讨好他们。

吴思《潜规则》里有一篇“身怀利器”,写道:“人们怕那些吏,一定要贿赂那些吏,并不是指望从他们手里捞点好处,而是怕他们祸害自己。”

所以,一个希望提升自己影响力的人,如果自觉无法从提升建设性能力着手,还可以从提升自己的破坏力开始。

Anwar Will Be the Next Prime Minister, Does Any Bigot Have a Problem With That?

Malaysia Chronicle
by Mathias Gomes, Stan Lee

My father used to tell us not to be afraid or fear psychosis when I and my brother were young lads. He told us, people who fear things will happen to them will actually face it – eventually. Could it be karma?

Over in Malaysia, for Umno and its cronies, it is this fear of Anwar Ibrahim being the next Prime Minister. And as the day gets nearer to GE-13, the great fear of Anwar intensifies. Every Ibrahim Ali, Ezam Mohd Nor and Hassan Ali is jumping into the bandwagon to slay Anwar.

They are even defending the indefensible RM250 million NFC debacle, and soon they will be defending all the corruption scandals, including First Lady Rosmah Mansor’s Birkin bags and RM24 million diamond ring. Why? Very simple, it’s simply an enormous ‘fear psychosis’ of Anwar Ibrahim.

Why so afraid

But why Fear and it is fear with a capital F? After all, if BN thinks it is doing the right things, it can be sure the rakyat (people) will support it and give it another umpteen years to rule. Well, sorry to say, that’s not the case today. The people have woken up from their 54 years of hypnotized sleep, they can now see through the charades of BN and UMNO.

It’s Pareto’s rule – 80% of Malaysians can feel the pinch of daily living in their pockets and mind you, it’s a sharp pain, while the 20% business people and UMNO elite are living in the fast lane enjoying the spoils.

Most Malaysians being wage earners have everything stipulated for them – housing loans, car loans, income tax, deductions, family maintenance and most of all, food items. If you have a government that doesn’t care for the well being of the nation who just plunder and kill for the coffers of the nation, but leave the people high and dry, where and who will the people turn to?

Change is the answer

Change is the answer. The people are looking for change and mind you, Change with a capital C it will be. All signs are pointing to it, the people would not care if Anwar is the Prime Minister or even if it is Karpal Singh, so long as it is someone who will deliver and relieve the burden in their pockets.

The people need a decent salary to survive, and the government has to ensure it. Malaysians are not a lazy people. There are some countries in the West where even if the citizens don’t work, the country supports them in all types of schemes, creating a lazy society. In Malaysia everyone works to survive, and the government should thank the people for it.

So bring on Mahathir Mohamad, Nazri Aziz, Ibrahim Ali, Ezam, Hassan, Ummi Hafilda, Zul Nordin and every other UMNO goon and stooge to slay Anwar Ibrahim. We don’t care, the people have decided “Change it will be” and Anwar Ibrahim is going to be the next Prime Minister.

Does any Bigot have a problem with that?

At the Emas Sri Pinang photoshoot at The Barebone Studio, Saujana Impian, Kajang. October 2011.

In October last year we were commissioned by Emas Sri Pinang for a photoshoot. The photos are for a campaign to promote their newest branch opening in Danau Kota, Kuala Lumpur.

Why only I share it now? Well, it doesn’t look good to “scoop” (to use a journalism term) one’s own Client no? For commissioned commercial work from a Client, there’s usually an embargo between 3 to 6 months. After the Client has done using the images in the final format (be it print or electronic usage) then I’ll share it here in this blog.

No, I don’t rush to “published” the said work in Facebook, which is strictly a social networking site with unfavourable T&C for photographers. “Budak-budak berkampung di Facebook” dontch nor wanted to unerstand that bit, when their artwork got “stolen” by a 3rd party of course they cried foul but read the T&C then you know you already given your “rights” away lah bro.

Enough rant, it’s early in the Day and I am currently enjoying my tea while typing this blog. A picture sure tells a thousand word, so let the pictures do the talking leerrr….

Remember, there’s no “I” in the word “team”, as such, I am forever grateful to the Client Mr Ghulam and Mr Amin from Emas Sri Pinang, Ms Faezah Elai a up and coming, nay, popular Malaysian female actress, the MUA, Stylist and Wardrobe team (sorry ya?Ttheir names escape me at the moment, nanti lah I look for their business and amend this post oso ler) and last but not least, my crew for the day Mr Firdaus and Mr Faiz (both attended a few of my lighting workshop and talk/outing previously oso) for assisting me in the photoshoot for Emas Sri Pinang Sdn Bhd at The Barebone Studio, Saujana Impian, Kajang, Selangor.

"Thank You" from Ted Adnan Photography & Design c/o The Barebone Studio Saujana Impian, Kajang

Well, that’s all for today’s “marketing” post lah folks. Thanks for reading today’s entry lah!

買書:日本の神様。

在日本久了以後就會發現他們的宗教是無處不在的。

像日本這樣的一個高度緊張的社會,如果沒有一點精神上的支持的話,就真的很難想像他們能夠如何支撐下去。

這些可以從他們那些人潮絡繹不絕的神寺、廟宇看出,他們的誠心參拜不是裝出來給大家看的。自結婚後,我被允許參加他們的一些過年的傳統儀式,在半夜寒冷遙遠的廟裡觀察他們傳承數百年的祈福過程。

由於日本人相信最好不要去拍他們神明的照片,我只好帶了錄音機去錄音。

雖然說是一頓簡單的拉麵夜宵,但是胡某對吃一向有點要求。

後來一直很想拍一系列跟這個有點關係的照片,但是對他們的現代神明觀有點不太理解,想看點書後整理出來,碰巧今天凌晨跑出去吃拉麵時發現了這本書。

好好學習後再弄照片。

MMC to be corporatised

The big news yesterday, which came some what as a surprise, it that the Malaysian Medical Council, the governing body which maintains the medical register and also is responsible for overseeing medical standards and ethics, is to be corporatised according to the report in the Sun Daily

Health Deputy Director General (Medical) Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah told theSun recently that once the amendment is passed, the MMC will be a professional body responsible for maintaining medical standards in the country, and more significantly, for performance monitoring of doctors.
The amendment is expected to be tabled when the Dewan Rakyat reconvenes in March.
“The corporatisation of MMC is to emulate the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom, where it functions not only to set and monitor standards of the medical profession, but also the competency of doctors registered with it,” said Noor Hisham.
GMC is a fee-based registered charity which maintains a register of its medical practitioners, and functions to protect public interests by ensuring compliance to medical standards.
Noor Hisham said the monitoring of doctor’s performance is the way forward for quality healthcare.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai told theSun that the move is to make the council more efficient in its daily administrative work, as well as free it from government bureaucracy.
“MMC is growing by leaps and bounds, it has registered around 35,000 doctors now, so we have to look into making MMC more efficient and not tie it down with government bureaucracy or circular,” said Liow.
He added that corporatising the council will ensure that it operates as a stand-alone, independent professional body, akin to the Malaysian Institute of Accountants, the Bar Council and the Institute of Engineers Malaysia.
Under the purview of the Health Ministry, the MMC currently functions under the same principles as the GMC, and also acts as a disciplinary body for the medical profession.
A long serving member of the council, who is also a senior doctor in a public hospital, told theSun the move will resolve the occasional conflict between the functions of the council as the ‘whip’ of the medical profession, and its role as advisors to the Health Ministry.
“The very fact that the council is funded and run by the ministry, there will be some conflict of interest between the two,” the doctor, who declined to be named, said.
He said there were also occasionally some difficulties for the MMC to exercise its disciplinary roles, especially when involving ministry-employed doctors, though he did not give specific examples.
“The move has of course been welcomed by the MMC, and hopefully with its corporatisation it will receive more funding, be more efficient, and able to function independently and with professionalism,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Medical Association also welcomed the move, although it admits that it was not consulted on the matter.
“However, the move is a good as it will make the MMC an independent body and there will be no potential conflict of interest, since currently the Health Ministry director general is also the chairman of the MMC,” said MMA president Dr Mary Cardosa.
She added that in the interest of good governance, the MMC must have representatives from all stakeholders who will be responsible for the registration of doctors and maintenance of standards of practice and ethics among doctors.
However, Cardosa disagreed that there may be an increase in fees paid for annual practising certificates (APC) with the corporatisation, and that it may be passed down to patients. Doctors in private practice currently pay RM50 per annum.
“Currently government doctors have their APC fees waived, but even if the APC fees are increased, it will not burden the patients as the fees are not high, and doctors’ fees are closely regulated by the law,” she said.

I am not really sure how corporatisation was entirely necessary in the first place if the MMC were to achieve the goals of registration of of doctors and also continuous monitoring of doctors’ performance. I guess the powers-that-be acknowledged that Government bureaucracy would be too much an obstacle for the MMC to progress in this direction. The article did not state where the funding of the corporatised MMC would come from but my guess is from it’s monitoring activities. I foresee that there will be:
- compulsory CME
- compulsory specialty registration
- compulsory re-accreditation
and all these exercises will require “fees” which will generate income for the MMC. I am not as confident as Dr. Cardosa on the APC fees – I suspect that there will be a substantial increase in this as well.
Together with the hefty subscription rates that Malaysian doctors already pay for medical malpractice protection (O&G doctors for instance have to fork out RM57,000 per year which is not even tax-deductible), practicing as a doctor in Malaysia will become increasingly expensive for sure.

Enyo goes Open source and Cross platform

Exciting news as Enyo, the framework that powers webOS, is now officially Open Source and also cross platform – it can run in any Desktop and mobile browser (and via Phonegap can be easily ported to native code for the different platforms too). I really look forward to this as I have had a taste of web app development with NSB/App Studio in creating apps in medwebapp.com and oncopda.com. With EnyoJS, I now have another web app development alternative. EnyoJS is modular with UI widgets and is highly scalable (being able to run your apps in devices different screen sizes) and when Enyo comes to Ares 2.0 (the browser based IDE I used in many of my medical webOS apps) sometime in April, I foresee it will get even easier to develop in Enyo.

If you are interested, you can head over to:
HP webOS Developer centre
and the new EnyoJS website which has some cool samples which you can run in your webkit browser (e.g. Chrome or Safari desktop, iOS or Android device):

大前提是操作的人必須對互動媒體界面的設計和使用者的體驗考量有一定的認識。這表示一般的平面排版美編可能不能把內容的特色用互動方式發揮到淋漓盡致。所以網上有人說這是「卡拉OK出版」顯然是不瞭解這個軟件的深度所作的低級評論。

下載了這個軟件後,我試圖製作一本針對我剛買不久的 Fujifilm X10 編寫的互動攝影教學書,談的是我比較瞭解的街拍題材。很興奮地寫了第一個章回後才發現需要作很多的前期準備功夫,於是我又拎著攝影機出去外面拍攝書本裡面需要的素材,這包括視頻素材和剪輯後壓縮和作好輸入的各種準備功夫,一點都不簡單。

在每一個章回的結尾加一個互動式的小測驗或是三兩題復習題也非常簡單。

漸漸地對軟件熟悉以後,操作上也比較上手了。每個章回的結尾,可以加一些互動的問答內容,加深讀者對內容的認識。

雖然在推出這個軟件後的一天內已經有了九十多萬個下載人次,我想真正能靈活使用這個軟件,並完全發揮互動媒體的內容特色的人並不會很多。但是如果真能駕馭這個軟件和做好充份的前期內容準備工作,如故事板的設計,每一個環節和章回之間的銜接,還有製作模板的工序的話,要成功設計、製作、生成、出版並銷售一本互動多媒體讀物並不是不可能的事。

但是我還是要奉勸各位打著如意算盤的老闆們別折騰你設計部門裡設計師了,多請一位懂界面設計和互動內容的員工和你現有的設計部門一起製作是真的會事半功倍的呢。

要不然的話,我相信很快的就會有人在 Facebook 上拿你來做研究對象了。

(我們應該可以設計一個課程培訓對這方面有興趣的童鞋。)

Making Things Happen.

Exactly 36 hours to my scheduled flight to London to kick-start my Europe backpacking trip. Well, it didn’t really conform to ‘backpackers’ definition but close to it, I promise.

I’m excited. I think I am excited. I think I’m trying to be excited.

Not sure what’s fiddling with my emotions but I feel I’ve a lot of unfinished businesses back here. Things I’ve to do, words I’ve to say, stories I’ve to tell. It’s not like I’ll never come back, it’s only for a month, but I will be jetting off with a heavy heart, knowing that there’s still a big burden not lifted off my shoulder.

Everything we have or don’t have are the results from every choices we make. ‘Make things happen, not let it happen. If the grass is greener on the other side, that’s because they took care of it.”

Guess I didn’t make things happen then.

東京中古攝影機報價。

(於2012年1月25日)可能,日元真的已經攀升到不是人人能及的地步。但是根據胡某本著辛勤為大家服務的精神定時到東京敗家店走動的市場觀察所得,跟上一回一月七日的報價帖文相比,有好些攝影機的價格有明顯下降。

其中最顯著的是 FUjifilm Finepix X100 的跌勢竟然有接近一萬円之巨,可見 Fujifilm X-Pro 1 對他的價格有著直接的影響,反之小兄弟 Fujifilm X10 的價格卻保持穩健不變的走向。相對便宜的中古 Panasonic Lumix G-H2 的銷量驚人,今天到店裡時發現過半機身已經出手了。今天令胡某感到驚喜的是 Lumix G-X1 的精彩現身,價格宜人令人有點心動,當然中古女友一號 Lumix GF-1 的價格也真的很低,對剛剛開始想學攝影的朋友來說很有吸引力。

佳能 7D 和 5DII 以然有很多存貨,看來佳能二手市場真的不是很好。 之前我還以為價格是造成出售量低的原因,但是 萊卡X1 一直持續不降的價格卻完全沒有阻止這攝影機的出手,今天去時只剩下一台在櫃子裡。

這次我也特意查看了鏡頭價格, Carl Zeiss 的人像神鏡價格也不是很貴,知道蔡司鏡頭的神一般的立體成像效果的朋友們應該會同意以性價比而言,這些鏡頭都是非常值得收藏的。

Apabila Hak Rakyat Malaysia Telah Diaibkan

Detik Daily
Oleh Selena Tay

WALAUPUN dakwat kekal akan digunakan pada pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU13) ini, penipuan masih juga boleh berlaku. Berikut adalah kemungkinan bagaimana BN menang melalui penipuan.

1. Nama kita tidak berada dalam senarai daftar pengundi. Jika nama kita langsung tidak berada dalam senarai pada hari mengundi, maka kita langsung tidak boleh buat apa-apa.

2. Nama kita telah dipindahkan ke kawasan yang jauh:
Sebagai contoh jika kita tinggal di Shah Alam, alamat kad pengenalan kita di Shah Alam dan pada pilihan raya yang lepas kita mengundi di Shah Alam, dengan tiba-tiba kali ini nama kita telah dipindahkan ke Perlis tanpa pengetahuan kita pada hari kita pergi mengundi nanti. Adakah kita akan pergi ke Perlis untuk mengundi pada hari tersebut?

3. Percaturan secara strategik:

a. Pengundi Cina di Shah Alam dipindahkan ke Klang.

Apabila ini berlaku, Umno akan dapat kembali kerusi Parlimen Shah Alam daripada PAS (ahli parlimen kini Khalid Samad).

Kerusi Parlimen Klang biar dimenangi oleh DAP tak apalah asalkan Umno dapat kembali kerusi Parlimen Shah Alam. Pada masa ini kerusi Parlimen Klang dipegang oleh Charles Santiago daripada DAP.

b. Pengundi Cina di kerusi Parlimen Titiwangsa (dulu dimenangi Allahyarham Dr Lo’ Lo’ Ghazali) yang dipegang oleh PAS akan dipindahkah ke kerusi Parlimen Cheras yang dimiliki oleh DAP (Tan Kok Wai). Ini akan membolehkan Umno untuk dapat kembali kerusi Parlimen Titiwangsa.

Pemindahan pengundi Cina ke kawasan yang dimiliki oleh DAP sejak zaman Tok Kadok lagi tidak memberi apa-apa manfaat kepada DAP tetapi hanya memberikan DAP kemenangan dengan jurang yang amat besar sahaja, contohnya Teresa Kok daripada DAP menang di kerusi Parlimen Seputeh dengan jumlah lebihan undi sebanyak 36,000 – angka yang amat besar, malah jumlah lebihan undi yang banyak sekali di Malaysia pada pilihan raya yang lalu.

c. Kerusi Parlimen Batu yang merupakan sebuah kerusi Wilayah Persekutuan KL telah bertindih dengan kerusi Parlimen Selayang di Selangor untuk membolehkan pengundi Melayu mengundi di Batu. Pada masa kini, penyandang kerusi Parlimen Batu ialah Tian Chua daripada KeADILan.

4. Pertambahan pengundi secara mendadak:

a. Kerusi Dun (Dewan Undangan Negeri) Pelabuhan Klang, di mana penyandangnya ialah Badrul Hisham Abdullah (dulu KeADILan, sekarang Umno).

Di kerusi Dun ini terdapat pertambahan jumlah pengundi sebanyak 5,510 pada tahun lalu walaupun tiada kawasan perumahan baru di situ sejak pilihan raya yang lalu. Anggota Parlimen daripada DAP, Charles Santiago telah berhasrat untuk membuat bantahan mengenai perkara ini sebab kerusi Dun ini terletak dalam kawasan Parlimennya.

Wang RM10 kena dibayar oleh Santiago bagi setiap nama yang dibantah dan ini memerlukan kos yang tinggi. Selain itu, anggota Parlimen daripada Pakatan Rakyat tidak dapat apaapa dana pun daripada kerajaan Pusat BN walaupun adalah hak mereka sebagai anggota Parlimen untuk mendapat dana tersebut.

Dana itu di bawah kawalan Jabatan Perdana Menteri dan hanya diagihkan kepada anggota Parlimen BN sahaja dan ia berjumlah RM1.5 juta setiap tahun. Adakah BN berniat untuk mencekik anggota Parlimen Pakatan Rakyat dengan tidak memberi apa-apa peruntukan kepada mereka?

b. Kerusi Parlimen lain yang telah menyaksikan pertambahan pengundi secara mendadak ialah Kuala Langat (KeADILan- Abdullah Sani), Shah Alam (PASKhalid Samad), Hulu Langat (PAS-Che Rosli) dan Kota Raja (PAS-Dr Siti Mariah) d imana lebih 5,000 nama pengundi yang diragui telah dimasukkan dalam senarai daftar pengundi di kerusi-kerusi tersebut.

Dapat dilihat bahawa Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR) adalah licik dalam perancangan percaturan pergerakan pengundi dan justeru, boleh dikatakan bahawa SPRlah yang menentukan nasib BN dalam setiap PRU. Oleh itu, janganlah berfikiran naif bahawa dengan penggunaan dakwat kekal adalah mustahil untuk penipuan dilakukan.

Hanyalah dengan sokongan padu rakyat dari semua lapisan masyarakat dan semua bangsa, tak kira miskin atau kaya, tua atau muda, di kampung ataupun di bandar barulah BN boleh ditumbangkan.

Rakyat Malaysia mesti mengundi Pakatan Rakyat supaya undi daripada pekerja asing dapat ditumpaskan. Jika jumlah rakyat Malaysia yang memilih Pakatan tidak cukup untuk mengatasi undi pekerja asing, maka pekerja asing telah menentukan halatuju negara ini.

Susah keslah macam itu sebab Malaysia akan terjatuh ke dalam gaung zaman batu purba apabila hak rakyat Malaysia telah diaibkan oleh pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab yang hanya mementingkan kuasa dan wang dalam saku mereka sendiri.

Malay Professionals Want Najib-Anwar Debate, Says Merdeka Center

The Malaysian Insider

Many Malay professionals would like to see Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak debate Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on policy issues, the Merdeka Center said today.

The independent pollster told Sinar Harian its focus group discussions with Malay professionals showed they were keen on a debate where both leaders talked about larger issues affecting the country, not personal ones.

“There appears to be a change in what the people want. They want a new culture of debate rather than smear campaigns,” Merdeka Center director Ibrahim Suffian (picture) told the Malay-language daily.

The centre’s findings come just 10 days after Anwar challenged Najib to a public debate over national policies during his winding-up speech at the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) convention in Alor Star.

The PKR de facto leader had said that an open debate would let voters decide for themselves if the opposition pact’s plans for Malaysia had merit.

The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition has criticised PR’s alternative policies as populist and irresponsible.

It was the third such challenge issued by Anwar to Najib, who has so far declined to go toe-to-toe with the former deputy prime minister.

Najib, who is Umno president, previously demurred by saying that political parties were more important than individuals in Malaysia’s parliamentary democracy.

However, he also stressed that he would not baulk if required to face off against the charismatic Anwar in a presidential-style debate.

“I’m not afraid of Anwar Ibrahim,” Najib had said to loud cheers from delegates at the close of the Selangor BN convention in September last year.

A survey commissioned by PKR in August last year showed that Najib was more popular than Anwar especially among Malays despite being seen as indecisive and a poorer communicator.

The poll noted, however, that Anwar could combat Najib’s “surface appeal” by leveraging on his image as a strong, decisive leader with good communication skills and an understanding of economic issues.

The prime minister was seen positively by 53 per cent of voters compared to 40 per cent who backed Anwar.

Najib was also the overwhelming favourite among the Malays, with 71 per cent backing the Umno president compared to just 32 per cent who viewed Anwar favourably

Becoming a bone marrow donor

Syed writes in to inform that he wants to become a bone marrow donor and asks for details on how to do so.
The country’s one and only registry is the Malaysian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (MBMDR) which is at the IMR (Institute of Medical Research) in KL.
We have covered this before in our previous post, Be a bone marrow donor. The US NMDP also illustrated the overall Steps of Bone marrow donation – basically it means joining the registry as a donor, and it involves providing a blood sample for Tissue Typing (also known as HLA matching). If one is ever found to be a suitable match for donation, one may in the future then be called up for either bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell donation.

IMR’s MBMDR contact:
+603 26986033 ext 463
Email: mmdr@imr.gov.my
Location

Do note that the bigger the donor pool, the higher the possibility of finding a match. At the moment the MBMDR is quite small, at last count still under 20,000 donors. The country could do with a donor pool of easily over 100,000 so if you can help and be a bone marrow donor, that would mean so much for the large number of patients out there requiring a bone marrow transplant who do not have a donor.

An iPhone for every medical student?

How times have changed. First PDAs, and now smartphones. The leading platforms are Android and iOS but when it comes to medical apps, iOS is at present king-of-the-hill. The Lancet Technology this month says that all medical students at Leeds University are currently issued with iPhones, not a surprising choice given the dominance and popularity of the iPhone among medical users. Interestingly, it’s not just about using the iPhone as a medical information resource (the usual mobile references etc.), it’s also about using it as a tool supporting clinical education:

Gareth tells me that a dedicated app allows students to upload reflections on cases they have seen (with sensitive information removed) to an online portfolio in real time. Workplace-based assessments can also be completed on the spot by clinicians: in short, the iPhone is helping the medical school to provide consistent support for students, and to get them into good habits for the future: “The biggest challenge we’ve got as educators is to convince people to do things now rather than get to the point when they’re applying for revalidation, and think ‘I wish I’d done that earlier.’ Because you can’t actually go back and recapture that information.”

I think this is one area which has barely been scratched. Using a smartphone in medical education in ways beyond mere referencing by utilising all the modern features found in such devices has much untapped potential.

Well, new year again. Can’t believe I’ve already spent my another year in Puchong again. Good thing is, I started to really like Puchong than Sibu :P Not for the shopping and etc. Just for I can live my own life with only my wife and I.

Went back Sibu quite early this time, and shorten the time spending here, so I’ve been rushing for cleaning home stuff. Changing colours or upholstery fabric, hanging all those red thingy stuff… And whatever it is to show that this house belongs to a Chinese folks. Surprisingly it seems that fireworks was legalized this year.

This is LAI KWAN'S LOVE by Tan Chui Mui.



This is ORANG MINYAK XX by Yeo Joon Han.



And finally, WELCOME TO KAMPONG RADIOAKFTIF by Liew Seng Tat.



Will be curious to see all these films, along with GIRL IN THE WATER, on the big screen for the very first time.

You can read about my LAST FRAGMENTS OF WINTER shoot. I shot the film at the famed snowy village of Shirakawa-go, and then I returned to Malaysia to finish the rest of the film. Also went through a gruelling sound-mixing session with some industry legends.

Or you can read about the GIRL IN THE WATER shoot here and here. Along with my editing experiences too.

Our 1st Day Of Chinese New Year [Photos]

How was your first day of Chinese New Year? Did the Dragon year that you had been anticipating with bated breath started off the way you wanted? As for my family and I, we only managed to pay 3 of our relatives a visit. Usually we will be visiting at least 10 houses. Guess we can't go to too many places when we have babies on board aye. Then again all of us really enjoyed ourselves. We are happy to meet up and catch up with our relatives. It's all about reunion on my first day of Chinese New Year. How about you folks?

One for our big family album. :)

This year, our first day of Chinese New Year has been perfectly chronicled by my cousin-Rajiv, with his Nikon DSLR. I really love all the photos of us that he has taken. Every photo of us that he snapped turns out to be so vividly REAL, not to mention beautiful. I love how he weaved his magic into his lens and create picturesque memories of us. See? It's good to have a professional photographer in the house. Ha :D

So these are some of the photos taken on our first day of the Dragon-ic Chinese New Year. I wish I can snap more photos on my own. Too bad I can't as I will be carrying my babies all the time. Ha :D Again, thanks to my cousin, Rajiv, for the beautiful, priceless photos. Hmm...then again I should have hired for FREE him to be my personal photographer for this Chinese New Year. :)

4/3卡口|經典 OM 設計|鎂質機身|全天候封閉設計|機身重量 373克|高動態 16百萬像素 感光元件|感光度 ISO200到25,600|1.44百萬像素 電子取景器|3吋 61萬像素 OLED 顯示屏|超高速對焦|機身防抖技術|價格大概 1,000美元 左右。
