TeamViewer 7 Offers Online Meetings with VoIP for FREE


When discussing a project online, sometimes it is very difficult to explain what needs to be done and providing a screenshot can be tedious because you need to circle the area where you want the attention to be placed on. Other than that, language can be a barrier when either one doesn’t speak fluent English. Probably the best way is to create an online meeting that is able to share your screen while simultaneously chat or talk to the project manager. The ability to record or save the meeting is[...]

Snow Photography Tips 2012 – Walaweiiii Dah Tak Sabar La Nak Main Salji !

Kerajaan Persekutuan Bermain Politik Dengan Tidak Salurkan Semua Projek Pembangunan Kepada Pejabat Daerah Negeri Tetapi Kepada Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Persekutuan

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town Pada 4.1.2012

Adalah dikesali bahawa kerajaan Persekutuan bermain politik dengan wang rakyat dengan tidak salurkan semua projek pembangunan kepada pejabat daerah negeri tetapi diberikan kepada Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Persekutuan(PPNP). Pemberian wang kepada PPNP bercanggah dengan semangat dan prinsip demokrasi kerana PPNP yang dikuasai oleh BN tidak dipilih oleh rakyat sebaliknya BN ditolak oleh rakyat pada pilihanraya besar 2008.

Bukan sahaja PR telah menangi majority 2/3 dengan 29 daripada 40 buah kerusi negeri tetapi juga menang 11 daripada 13 buah kerusi Parlimen di Pulau Pinang. Jelas sekali wang sumbangan oleh Pulau Pinang dalam bentuk cukai pendapatan dan kastan tidak diberikan balik kepada rakyat Pulau Pinag. Sebaliknya semua wang sumbangan dikuasai penuh oleh BN sungguhpun telahpun ditolak peringkat negeri dan Parlimen oleh rakyat Pulau Pinang.

Janganlah sebut juga bahawa kerajaan negeri mendapat bayaran balik wang yang memadai bila hakikat adalah sebaliknya. Mengikut jawapan Parlimen:-

1) Kutipan Cukai Oleh LHDN Dan KDRM Dari Setiap Negeri Bagi 2001 Hingga 2008

2) Pemberian Kerajaan Persekutuan Kepada Kerajaan Negeri Bagi 2001 Hingga 2008

3) Peratusan Pemberian Daripada Kutipan

a) Sumbangan bagi Kutipan Cukai Oleh LHDN dan KDRM dari setiap negeri bagi tahun 2001 hingga 2008, Pulau Pinang adalah keempat (4) tertinggi iaitu RM25.670 juta.

b) Pemberian Kerajaan Persekutuan kepada Kerajaan Negeri bagi tahun 2001 hingga 2008, Pulau Pinang merupakan ketiga (3) terendah iaitu RM794 juta.

c) Peratus pemberian antara kutipan daripada LHDN dan pemberian Kerajaan Persekutuan, Pulau Pinang adalah terendah sekali iaitu 3%. Bagi wang duduk tempat keempat dapat wang No. 1 belakang kira.

Selepas 2008, kerajaan Persekutuan hanya salurkan RM231.08 juta yang tidak disalurkan kepada Pejabat Daerah yang dikuasai kerajaan negeri tetapi diberikan kepada PPNP yang dikuasai BN. Berbanding dengan RM794 jtua yang diberikan dalam tempoh 8 tahun 2001-8, RM231.08 juta dalam 4 tahun ini lagi kecil daripada yang diberikan sebelum ini. Jelas BN tidak menghormati keputusan demokrasi rakyat Pulau Pinang dan menjalankan diskriminasi kewangan sedemikian.

lihat jawapan bertulis parlimen oleh YAB Perdana Menteri di bawah:

JAWAPAN

Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Pulau Pinang tidak melaksanakan projek dari tahun 2005 sehingga pertengahan tahun 2008. Projek berkenaan dilaksanakan oleh Pejabat Daearh dan agensi pelaksana yang lain di peringkat persekutuan dan negeri. Selepas PRU 2008, sehingga 15 November 2011, Pejabat Pembangunan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah melaksanakan 2822 projek bernilai RM231.08 juta. Jenis dan jumlah projek mengikut tahun adalah seperti berikut:

Perolehan projek-projek tersebut dibuat mengikut peraturan semasa yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Kewangan melalui Arahan Perbendaharaan, Surat Pekeliling Perbendaharaan dan surat-surat Kementerian Kewangan lain yang berkaitan. Sehingga 2009, perolehan bagi projek bernilai kurang daripada RM20,000 dibuat secara tawaran terus, nilai projek RM20,000 hingga RM200,000 dibuat secara sebut harga manakala lebih daripada RM200,000 secara tender. Walau bagaimanapun, had bagi perolehan secara sebut harga telah ditingkatkan kepada RM500,000 iaitu berdasarkan Surat Pekeliling Perbendaharaan Bil.5 tahun 2009 yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kewangan.

Keputusan tender diputuskan oleh Lembaga Perolehan Persekutuan(A/B) Negeri Pulau Pinang manakala sebut harga oleh Jawatankuasa Sebutharga Persekutuan Negeri Pulau Pinang dan tawaran terus yang diputuskan oleh Jawatankuasa Pemilihan Kontraktor.

Kontraktor yang ditawarkan bagi kerja-kerja berkenaan adalah terdiri daripada kontraktor kelas F bagi projek-projek yang dibuat secara sebut harga dan kontraktor-kontraktor kelas lain bergantung pada nilai kontrak masing-masing.

哈維爾vs希特勒


捷克前总统哈维尔和朝鲜伟大领袖金正日,两位超重量级领袖,双双于去年12月辞世,难免使人对两人生平功过,以及捷克和朝鲜国情,做一番比较议论。

只是,朝鲜金氏王朝和劳动党政权再疯狂,也恐怕不至于疯狂到向欧洲大陆发射核子导弹;倒是晚近希特勒纳粹主义幽灵在欧洲的蠢动复辟,较诸朝鲜的核导弹,对欧洲社会的威胁要大些。

去年7月,被誉为全世界最安宁国家之一的挪威,发生惨绝人寰的恐袭事件,极端右派分子布里维克的屠杀行动致死98条人命。11月,德国警方揭发一个德国极右恐怖组织,13年来处决9名外国人的命案。

欧洲新纳粹主义再现,早已不是新闻,近几年来各国极端右翼政党崛起,以种族主义为号召,公然提出排外仇外主张,重点是,这些政党在许多国家都拥有不可忽视的民意基础。

欧洲大部分国家实行左派社会主义的全民福利政策,对人民照顾得无微不至,被视为现代社会的楷模;但民主选举加上福利政策,只能是一条民粹不归路,而且也只有越陷越深,福利支票越开越大手笔,到了后来,许多政府唯有举债开支票,债务大到永世还不了,也大到不能倒。

左翼政党和政治家失去最原始的民主社会主义理想,福利政策越到后来,就越跟买票工具无差别。

而当代欧洲已几乎没有政治家可言,既无哈维尔的政治良心和道德高度,也没有最起码的担当和勇气,面对国家危机,要么像希腊前总理帕潘德里欧,事到临头弄个公投出来,拱出民意来掩饰自己的不愿担当,要么就抄袭希特勒那套最简单最方便的招术,把所有问题统统推到外来移民身上,炒作仇外情绪,好让自己逃脱责任。

德国人纪律严明、顽强坚毅,确是全欧洲最有资格高傲自大、目空一切的民族,既淬炼得出魔头希特勒,也养育得出干练的默克尔。欧洲怯懦政客为求自救,有的乞灵于希特勒,现在各国深陷债务危机,欧元濒临崩溃,靠默克尔奔走打救。兜兜转转,总离不开德国人。

除非有邱吉尔的睿智、戴高乐的高傲,或者哈维尔的道德,否则以今天欧洲政治人物的素质,可与希特勒抗衡者几希,更别提与默克尔争锋了。

Kenyataan Media Untuk Edaran Segera – Isu 901

5 Januari 2012

Hak untuk berhimpun secara aman merupakan hak rakyat yang sejajar dengan semangat keperlembagaan. Ianya merupakan antara teras kepada amalan sesebuah negara demokratik. Justeru sebarang usaha atau tindakan yang menggasir hak untuk berhimpun secara aman dan hak menyatakan pendirian politik (political expression) rakyat Malaysia adalah bertentangan dengan asas pembentukan negara Malaysia yang demokratik, bebas dan merdeka. Pencabulan ke atas hak ini dianggap sebagai mengkhianati asas penubuhan negara Malaysia yang merdeka.

Oleh itu saya menyambut baik kenyataan YB Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Ketua Polis Negara yang memperlihatkan kesediaan pihak polis untuk berbincang dengan KEADILAN dan Pakatan Rakyat bagi menjamin kelancaran perhimpunan aman 901 untuk membantah rekayasa politik ke atas Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. KEADILAN menyatakan kesediaan untuk berbincang dengan pihak polis demi memastikan perhimpunan aman ini berjaya diteruskan dengan aman dan teratur.

KEADILAN tegas menyeru semua anggota parti dan penyokong Pakatan Rakyat serta rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan keadilan dan kebenaran untuk berhimpun secara aman dan menyatakan sokongan terhadap reformasi demi rakyat dan negara Malaysia yang tercinta.

KEADILAN turut menggesa pihak polis untuk memelihara keselamatan awam termasuk para demonstran dan rakyat keseluruhannya yang berhimpun di Kuala Lumpur. Kita berharap insiden keganasan seumpama tragedi UPSI dan BERSIH tidak akan berulang. Ini adalah peluang terbaik Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Ketua Polis Negara untuk memulihkan imej polis yang sekian lama tercalar dan mengembalikan keyakinan awam terhadap institusi polis selaras dengan janji Perdana Menteri untuk melaksanakan transformasi politik di dalam pentadbirannya.

Timbalan Presiden KEADILAN

901 Dan Agenda UMNO

Merdeka Review
Oleh Ooi Heng

Langkah demi langkah menuju tanggal 9 Januari 2012, apabila direnung kembali Deklarasi Permatang Pauh 1998, apa yang diperjuangkan oleh generasi reformasi masih relevan hari ini.  Bahawa diri manusia haram dizalimi dan diaibkan, haram dibelenggu dan disekat tanpa mengikut proses dan undang-undang yang adil.  Bahawa gerakan reformasi untuk menegakkan keadilan untuk semua, yang kuat dan yang lemah, yang kaya dan yang miskin; membersihkan institusi dan proses undang-undang daripada dicemari oleh penyalahgunaan kuasa dan rasuah.

Saya cintakan Malaysia.  Kita semua cintakan tanah air kesayangan ini.  Kita menghormati undang-undang dan sistem kehakiman yang membawa kebaikan dan keadilan kepada semua.  Menghadirkan diri di mahkamah Jalan Duta pada 9 Januari 2012 tidak bermaksud kita tidak menghormati undang-undang dan sistem kehakiman.

Sebaliknya, atas semangat cintakan perlembagaan, undang-undang dan sistem kehakiman negara, kita hadirkan diri untuk menyaksikan dengan kaca mata sendiri sejauh mana prinsip keadilan diangkat tanpa mengira perbezaan fahaman politik dalam kes fitnah II dan bukannya diperkosakan sistem kehakiman negara.

Sekian banyak berita yang terkandung dalam akhbar harian yang menjadi tatapan kita saban hari.  Apakah akhirnya memenjarakan kita dengan ketidakupayaan memahami hubung kait sistem kehakiman dan kuasa politk yang dominan?  Perhimpunan 901 bukan sekadar kerana seorang manusia berusia 65 tahun yang pernah ditelanjangkan, dibelasah sehingga mata berdarah, dipenjarakan dan diaibkan berkali-kali, tetapi berkait rapat dengan kerosakan sistem kehakiman dan institusi keadilan sehingga mampu memenjarakan kita dan memperdayakan kita dengan persepsi yang dilakarkan oleh jentera media kawalan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN).  Jangan kita lupa semasa membaca akhbar atau menonton berita televisyen, dalam dunia kontemporari, institusi media merupakan sebahagian daripada institusi keadilan. 

Tanggal 9 Januari 2012 bakal dicatatkan sebagai lembaran sejarah hitam Malaysia berkenaan dengan sistem kehakiman.  Sama ada dipenjarakan atau tidak, penganiayaan yang dilakukan melalui manipulasi proses kehakiman dan media terus-menerus melakar persepsi bahawa insan bernama Anwar Ibrahim melakukan kesalahan tidak bermoral dan tidak sesuai menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Penganiyaan melalui proses kehakiman bukanlah sesuatu yang mudah difahami.  Sebab itu, orang ramai bergantung kepada laporan media, khususnya media cetak dan penyiaran untuk mengetahui perkembangan dari masa ke masa.

Kalau kita tidak naif, kita bukan sahaja faham bahawa hadirkan diri dalam perhimpunan 901 tidak bermaksud kita tidak menghormati undang-undang, kita juga faham bahawa keputusan pada 9 Januari 2012 merupakan sebahagian daripada agenda UMNO.  Daripada laporan berita akhbar harian yang berulang kali memetik komen yang lebih kurang sama daripada sesetengah individu yang sama contohnya Zulkifli Nordin sekian lama, barang siapa yang pernah bekerja dalam industri media, fahamlah dia, pelaporan seumpama bercanggah dengan nilai berita yang proses produksinya profesional.  Tidak kira apa motif “pelarian politik” Raja Petra (gambar kanan) berkenaan dengan komennya baru-baru ini, barang siapa yang pernah bekerja sebagai wartawan tahu benar apa itu agenda setting.  Sama ada sedar atau tidak, komen Raja Petra memenuhi agenda UMNO.  Tak apa komen seorang “pelarian politik” dijadikan sebahagian daripada agenda UMNO, yang penting kita sedar dan kita tidak naif sehingga mempercayai sistem kehakiman dan institusi keadilan dapat dipulihkan dengan melakarkan persepsi negatif berhubung tertuduh yang tidak melarikan diri.

Di mana berlaku ketidakadilan yang melampau sehingga menggeramkan rakyat terbanyak, di sana akan bangkit gelombang rakyat menuntut keadilan.  Begitulah tatapan sejarah khalayak ramai yang juga menjadi topik diskusi di kedai kopi dan di sana sini. 

Sejarah rakyat mengandungi elemen protes secara aman apabila institusi keadilan dilembukan oleh kuasa pemerintah.  Sejarah rakyat mengandungi elemen memberontak apabila penganiyaan atau keganasan secara melampau dilakukan oleh pihak berkuasa.

Tetapi sejarah UMNO berbeza dengan sejarah rakyat.  Dalam tatapan sejarah UMNO, rakyat tidak mampu bangkit asalkan manipulasi media cetak dan penyiaran dilakukan dengan bijak.  Barang siapa yang pernah bekerja dalam kedua-dua media cetak dan media atas talian, fahamlah juga dia bahawa kewujudan internet dan kebangkitan media baharu khususnya media sosial tidak bermaksud media cetak dan penyiaran menjadi bebas secara semula jadi.  Hakikatnya, beberapa konglomerat media UMNO-BN masih mengawal akhbar dan stesyen televisyen dan radio utama di Malaysia di samping media kerajaan yang juga didalangi agenda UMNO.

Pada ketika pemimpin UMNO memikirkan masa depan dan kepentingan diri, sama ada diri dapat bertanding pada pilihan raya akan datang, sama ada Najib akan merombak kabinet dan menukarkan pemimpi bertaraf menteri, dan sama ada diri dapat dinaiktaraf jadi menteri, biar kita memahami selok-belok media cetak dan penyiaran dalam konteks di mana media dilihat sebagai institusi kuasa yang juga merupakan sebahagian daripada institusi keadilan.  Dengan kata lain, selain dikawal dengan undang-undang ketat, media cetak dan penyiaran juga dapat dimanipulasi saban hari untuk mencapai agenda UMNO.

Pemimpin UMNO lain mungkin tidak faham sejarah dan undang-undang, saya pasti Saifuddin Abdullah yang pernah berbicara mengikut gerak hati masalah-masalah negara faham, apa agenda sebuah parti politik yang kehilangan idealisme dan sedang berdepan dengan krisis kehilangan tampuk pemerintahan, dan sejauh mana sistem kehakiman dan institusi keadilan dimanipulasi untuk mencapai agendanya.  Sebab itu, Saya yakin Saifuddin Abdullah yang menyokong hak berhimpun demonstran tidak akan membiarkan perhimpunan 901 secara aman dikucar-kacirkan oleh sesetengah pihak demi mencapai agenda tertentu.

Kalau kisah seorang insan berusia 65 tahun dianiayai berkali-kali tidak mampu menyedarkan kita berkenaan dengan kerosakan sistem kehakiman.  “Biarlah orang tua masuk penjara, mati di penjara pun tak apa,” kononnya.  Harapan bukannya pada orang tua, tetapi bertapak atas kesedaran kita bahawa kebangkitan rakyat cukup mustahak dalam perjuangan demokrasi dan keadilan.

Semasa Internet mula bertapak di bumi Malaysia, masyarakat secara amnya digegarkan dengan pelbagai fitnah yang dilontarkan oleh seorang Perdana Menteri terhadap timbalannya.  Kini sejarah berulang tetapi mungkin berakhir dengan perbezaan.  Kalau dahulu rakyat berasa lega selepas Mahathir diundurkan tetapi UMNO kekal, kini rakyat hanya akan merasa lega kalau UMNO diundurkan dalam pilihan raya akan datang. 

9 Januari 2012 bukan satu tarikh menyaksikan kelahiran seorang individu, kemudian menujum bila orang tersebut dipenjarakan dan sama ada orang tersebut mati dalam penjara atau di luar penjara, tetapi tarikh kita menterjemahkan kecintaan kita terhadap prinsip keadilan dalam kerangka undang-undang tertinggi dan sistem kehakiman. 

Seperkara penting yang harus dikaitkan sebagai penutup.  Tanpa kebebasan media cetak dan penyiaran, jangan kita mempercayai pembaharuan sistem pilihan raya oleh Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya sahaja dapat menjamin proses pilihan raya yang adil.  Sama ada proses kehakiman atau pilihan raya, institusi media merupakan asas kepada pembaharuan yang bermakna.  Sebab itu, kalau media tidak memainkan peranan sebagai sebahagian daripada institusi keadilan negara, maka media akan dimanipulasi sebagai sebahagian daripada agenda UMNO.

【胡某認真測試】Fujifilm X10 Advanced P&S。

比較認真的測試。


之前事先張揚的認真測試一直沒有實際行動,趁這幾天被迫和剛到手的 Fujifilm X10 獨自相對幾個星期(在收拾行李時找不到萊卡的充電器而決定破天荒單機出行。

Fujifilm X10 少了 “Finepix” 的稱呼,不懂有沒有特別的意義,但是剛剛拿到她的時候,就覺得手感很不錯,渾身金屬的質感很好,尤其是對我這類習慣了比較沈重的攝影機的人來說,X10 的平衡感很不錯,沒有那種便宜攝影機慣有膠質感。

當然,這台相機算不上便宜,她在可以用手動的地方全用上了,省了很多零部件,也降低了成本;首先,這相機沒有變焦馬達,手動變焦的結果是鏡頭的整體設計變得很簡單了,而簡單的光學設計也讓這鏡頭的成像很好,騰出來的空間可以用上一枚很大幅的前置鏡片,讓這台相機長得比其他同級的攝影機好看多了。

說到長相不得不提的是她的金屬鏡頭蓋。這個鏡頭蓋很容易不小心跌到地上,而金屬鏡頭蓋的最大困惑就是跌了以後會留下痕跡,真的很苦惱。

沒有電子變焦以後,機身上少了幾個按鍵,讓這本來長得很像旁軸攝影機的相機變得更帥氣。可惜的是這相機的觀景器裡面沒有任何顯示框,為了省電把顯示屏關上的話,這攝影機只有一盞小小盞的顯示燈和警示聲響告訴你她還活著。


(這是富士為這相機製作的廣告片,拍得很好,可以一看。)

這個元旦在日本比較寒冷的天氣裡發現她弱小的電池基本上撐不了一天的拍攝,所以建議你多買幾顆電池以防不測。我個人比較喜歡 Velvia 的高動態顏色設置,覺得效果很特出,但是在 Adobe Camera Raw 新版支持 Fujifilm RAW 格式以後,我幾乎都在用這個格式拍攝,一般的低階攝影機是沒有這個功能的。

Fujifilm X10 的 Adv. Mode 可以讓你拍攝 360度 的全景照片,我試了一下,覺得拍攝時如果能遵守一切拍全景照的規矩去操作的話,效果會更好。

對於一台隨身機來說,X10 的很多功能都挺方便的。她拍攝的 1080P 的視頻效果很不錯,雖然我習慣了 F1.4 的大光圈帶來的視覺效果,這 f2.0 的鏡頭表現也蠻不錯的。

當然,這不是萊卡 X1,甚至不是 Fujifilm Finepix X100,所以如果你已經有了一台單反想買台簡單一點的隨身機,這是個粉好的選擇。X10 的對焦速度挺快的,ISO640 的成像表現還令人滿意,我不認為一個 2/3吋 感光元件的攝影機可以跟 M4/3 或其他大片幅的攝影機的底光表現放在同一個台階上作比較。

X10 輕巧,外形古樸,操作不是非常複雜(雖然她的功能也可以很複雜)但是如果真打算單機出行的話,我建議你帶台好一點的攝影機。

隔著兩輛新幹線車廂的車窗拍攝對面月臺的乘客,沒有很長的焦距也不是問題。 Velvia 的脫色處理。 f/2.0 的鏡頭雖然不能帶來大光圈的效果,但是成像銳利,也粉不錯。 在上海街拍,底光手持盲拍的效果很好。 小感光元件的攝像機的無敵特色:這相接的超級微距功能非常好,對喜歡拍攝食物的博客來說是個很有用的功能。 趁著春運作個比較認真的測試。

The Bug With A Human Face

Some time ago, my friend who happened to be an entomologist (bug specialist) had captured something in the office. While he was busy peeling the skins of his mandarin oranges, he noticed something was perching on his the skinned fruits. He looked closely and was dumbstruck that "that something" was sucking the juice out of his mandarin oranges. It was an insect and its proboscis (nose) is penetrating into his "oranje" flesh. But what really shocked him was that the bug actually had a human face! *gasp* Let's see how humane it was, shall we?

Photobucket
So this was the culprit who openly sipped my friend's orange juice. LOL :D

This bug really had a penchant for Chinese Mandarin huh!


Wanna see its "human" face folks?

Krankenkassen gegen Essstörungen

Jahrelang waren es unkontrollierter Tablettenmissbrauch, Alkohol und das Rauchen, die als gefährliche Suchtkrankheiten mit nachhaltig negativem Einfluss auf die Volksgesundheit ausgemacht wurden. Mittlerweile sind es aber auch immer häufiger Essstörungen, die sich in diesen Kreis eingereiht haben. Es ist für viele Menschen kaum vorstellbar, dass es sich im eigenen Leben immer und bei jeder Gelegenheit ausschließlich nur um das Thema Essen drehen könnte. Aber genau das ist die Problematik, die den Essstörungen zugrunde liegt. Was vor allem dabei überrascht ist, dass Esssucht und Magersucht einen derartigen Umfang angenommen haben, dass mehrere  Krankenkassen bereits mit einem Therapienetz zusammenarbeiten, um proaktiv an einer Lösung des Problems zu arbeiten.

Die gesetzlichen Krankenkassen beteiligen sich aktiv an Lösungen
Das muss geradezu zwangsläufig bedeuten, dass die Auswirkungen auf das Sozialsystem Krankenkasse bereits beträchtlich sind. Seit einigen Jahren ist es für jeden Bundesbürger möglich, selbst die ihm passende, gesetzliche Krankenkasse zu wählen, die für ihn die besten Konditionen bereit hält. Bei einem Krankenkassen Vergleich mag das proaktive Engagement dieser Institution den Ausschlag geben, welcher Institution er sein Vertrauen schenken möchte. Sehr erfreulich ist, dass sich immer mehr gesetzliche Krankenkassen an einer Lösung für dieses brennende Problem beteiligen. Bemerkenswert bei der Analyse von Essstörungen ist es, dass sowohl Esssucht als auch Magersucht auf massive seelische Störungen zurückzuführen sind.

Essstörungen wie Magersucht nehmen bedenklich zu
Während die unkontrollierte Esssucht schon rein optisch einfacher zu erfassen ist, so ist die Magersucht eher eine sich im Verborgenen abspielende Tragödie. Ein falsches Schönheitsideal, das durch die Gesellschaft erzeugt wird, familiäre Probleme, ein zu geringe ausgebildetes oder gar nicht vorhandenes Selbstwertgefühl sind unter anderem wichtige Ursachen und Auslöser für eine Magersucht. Die meisten der bedauernswerten Betroffenen Mitmenschen können nur durch lange Therapien aus diesem Teufelskreis ausbrechen und wieder zu normalen Essgewohnheiten zurückfinden. Dieses Beispiel zeigt sehr deutlich, welchen Herausforderungen sich das Sozialsystem Krankenkasse stellen muss und wie sich die zukünftige Finanzierbarkeit dieser so wichtigen Institution entwickeln kann.

Crafting my own buying mind map

Mind map, that the word I’ve been looking for. I started to craft a buying guide or a mind map after I started living my own with my wife. Things are getting a little tighter, but it is getting better. Well, it help keep thing minimal at home. With minimal setup, we get to clean up faster, spending time drinking a cup of tea instead of cleaning the house.

Buying guide

A lot of time, there is this “desire” taking over the “analytical” thinking. When it come, the mind map will kick in. However, undeniably, it is hard for one person to do that, because when “desire” tells you, you fucking want that, you will want that and grab it. That’s why, I always shop with someone else. Doesn’t matter what the person think about me buying the item, s/he will start some comment, and that comment wake the mind map up.

Hope to still keep the house minimal this year. I’ve added a few non-sense already.

ANALYSIS: Malaysia’s Political Future Hinges On Outcome Of Sex Trial

Monster Sandcritics.com
By Julia Yeow Jan

When Malaysia’s High Court delivers a verdict in the sex trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim Monday, the ruling would mark an end to one of the nation’s most controversial cases as well as the beginning of a new political era.

Anwar, 64, faces 20 years in prison if found guilty of sodomizing a 24-year-old former male aide in 2008, a charge he has vehemently denied and claimed was concocted by political foes.

Throughout the trial, which began in February 2010, his lawyers decried what they claimed to be repeated efforts to hamper the defence, such as denying access to testimonies and evidence.

Although the opposition alliance has its fair share of infighting and problems, Prime Minister Najib Razak is well aware of the threat that Anwar represents. Many educated, urban voters are increasingly impatient with his government over corruption and soaring inflation.

In the most recent elections in 2008, Anwar’s alliance wrested control of five of the nation’s 13 states from the government and denied it a two-thirds majority in Parliament.

The upset forced then-premier Abdullah Badawi to step down in favour of Najib, and Anwar declared his intention to take over the government, a threat Najib has taken seriously.

The premier has publicly warned his alliance to improve its performance or risk losing power in the next elections, which could be called as early as the first half of this year.

If Anwar is found not guilty, he is likely to pose a real threat to Najib, whose popularity is flagging despite populist policies and attempts to endear himself to younger voters.

But if Anwar is convicted and sentenced to even one year in jail, he would be barred from politics for up to five years, weakening the opposition bloc that has yet to name a successor.

Rights groups and opposition activists said the government seems intent on removing Anwar as a political foe by using a colonial-era law against sodomy, which outlaws it even when it is consensual.

Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director of Human Rights Watch, charged the proceedings have been conducted unfairly since the outset. He said the government did not appear ‘sincere’ in its earlier pledge to offer Anwar and his accuser equal rights and treatment.

‘Obviously, we cannot really speculate on what the verdict will be, but we do have very serious concerns that he is even being tried on this charge, which should not be considered a crime in the first place,’ Robertson said.

In 1998, Anwar was accused of sodomizing his driver and then using his power as then-deputy premier to cover it up, a charge he also claimed was trumped up to prevent him from challenging former premier Mahathir Mohamad.

He was convicted and jailed for six years before being released in 2004 when a Federal Court panel overturned his conviction, saying the main witness against him was unreliable and Anwar should have been acquitted.

Then, as now, the government denied any conspiracy.

‘The fact that he has been tried for this ‘crime’ twice now when thankfully there are very few prosecutions under this antiquated British colonial law also raises the fundamental question of why the government is singling Anwar out,’ Robertson said.

But just as he defied the odds to rise from political ruin to become opposition leader, Anwar’s supporters said it would take more than a conviction next week to remove him or his followers from Malaysian politics.

‘Dakwa Ketua NFC Atas Cubaan Sogok Polis, SPRM’

Malaysiakini

Pengerusi projek ternakan lembu, Pusat Fidlot Kebangsaan (NFC) Datuk Mohamad Salleh Ismail hari ini didakwa cuba merasuah pegawai penyiasat Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM).

Sehubungan itu, menurut Pengarah Strategik PKR Rafizi Ramli, Mohamad Salleh perlu diheret ke muka penngadilan.

Pada satu sidang akhbarnya di ibupejabat PKR di Petaling Jaya, hari ini Rafizi juga mendakwa sebanyak RM1.755 juta dibayar oleh Mohamad Salleh bagi tujuan merasuah pegawai SPRM dan PDRM bagi mempengaruhi siasatan ke atas NFC.

Rafizi berkata sogokan itu dibayar melalui cek oleh Mohamad Salleh.

Dakwanya lagi, wang berkenaan disampaikan kepada pegawai penyiasat SPRM dan polis melalui ahli peniagaan Datuk Shamsulbahrin Ismail yang menjadi “orang tengah”.

Pada 30 Disember lalu, Shamsulbahrin Ismail, 45, didakwa mengikut Seksyen 402 Kanun Keseksaan di Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur atas dua tuduhan menipu Mohamad Salleh.

Menurut Rafizi, dakwaannya itu dibuat berdasarkan wujudnya laporan polis oleh seorang anggota polis di Bukit Aman mengenai perkara tersebut.

Katanya, Akta SPRM 2009 bahagian IV Perkara 16 dan 17 menyatakan kesalahan rasuah berlaku apabila “mana-mana orang sendiri atau melalui atau bersama dengan lain” melakukan kesalahan tersebut.

“Undang-undang SPRM jelas menunjukkan dalam kes ini, Datuk Seri Salleh Ismail melalui Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail cuba merasuah pegawai SPRM dan PDRM dalam kes NFC bagi perkara berikut:

“Pertama, Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail yang membekalkan wang suapan malah menandatangani cek berjumlah RM1.755 juta.

“Kedua, Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail memujuk pegawai SPRM dan PDRM dengan cara menyediakan wang suapan,” dakwanya dalam sidang media hari ini.

Mengulas lanjut, Rafizi kesal kerana pihak berkuasa masih terus gagal bertindak.

Sebaliknya, dakwanya, mereka melindungi Mohamad Salleh yang juga suami kepada Menteri Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil dan keluarganya.

“Pihak berkuasa membuat keputusan untuk mendakwa Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail atas cubaan menipu NFC sedangkan wang yang terlibat adalah dengan tujuan merasuah pegawai SPRM dan PDRM,” katanya.

Rafizi juga menegaskan tindakan Mohamad Salleh melakukan cubaan rasuah, menggambarkan bahawa “prinsip tatakelola dan urustadbir yang diamalkan di NFC adalah lemah dan longgar”.

“Ia menggambarkan seolah-olah kelakuan rasuah dan cubaan membeli pegawai-pegawai kerajaan adalah amalan ringan dan boleh dilakukan dengan sewenang-wenangnya,” katanya.

Sehubungan itu, beliau mendesak SPRM segera melakukan siasatan ke atas Mohamad Salleh dan pengurusan NFC berhubung cubaan merasuah.

“Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated” ~ webOS

In case you have been reading all the doom and gloom about webOS and thought it was dead – it’s not quite dead, Jim. Seriously, a pretty sad turn of events after a roller coaster ride for HP webOS in 2011 summarised nicely by webOS Nation. I think it was basically mismanagment leading to products with sub-stellar hardware (though not as bad as some make it out to be) and a very competitive market. If HP had priced it right, the Touchpad could have been a greater success from the beginning. The firesale was a huge success even though people knew it was an EOL product and webOS as a multitasking OS is still great to use. In fact I use my multi-boot (Android/webOS) Touchpad more than my iPad.
What happens next? webOS isn’t dead yet and at least Meg Whitman has done the right thing by planning to put it to Open Source pasture. Whether it die a slow death there or perhaps someone picks it up and we see another revival, only time will tell. Perhaps in the near future, if there is no new smartphone manufacturer who will use webOS, we could be flashing Opensource webOS to say an HTC or Samsung phone. The webOS community remains vibrant with Homebrew and leaders like webOSinternals in charge.

It’s a pity that it’s basically a two horse race now with webOS out of the picture and Windows Phone struggling to break in. It’s a race that Android is winning for now and to me it looks like the old Mac vs Windows game again. I predict eventually the iOS market will shrink to a small niche area – perhaps 10-20% of mobile users and Android will dominate like Windows did for the next 3-5 years. I doubt Apple can pull any rabbits out of the hat without a visionary like Steve Jobs. It all depends on what they release this year so we’ll know soon enough.
As for medical users, iOS probably dominates though like the rest of mobile users, I suspect Android usage will increase as medical apps for Android are also increasing in number.

As for me, my gadget lust is being pandered to by my Palm Pre3, HTC Android and iPhone 4 smartphones :) My desire for tinkering with app development has since moved on to mobile web apps so I can use (and share) my work on any mobile device I use. At least webOS development has opened my eyes on how easy it is with just HTML5 & Javascript to make an app which runs well in a webkit browser. Multi-platform web app development will be my direction for now and with the increasing use of the connected mobile devices over traditional laptops and PCs (Gartner predicts that by 2013, mobile phones will have overtaken PC’s as the most common way to access the internet), I believe web apps will become more popular.

The advantages of web apps:
- no need to develop specifically for one platform
- rapid and easy development for hobbyist coders (no need to learn complex programming languages!)
- runs fast within modern webkit browsers given improvements to the way Javascript is handled
- can run offline if need be
- can be easily converted native apps with utilities like Phonegap

There are some disadvantages
- inability to access some phone specific functions
- requires Internet access to run (initially at least)
- lacks the visibility that an app market will provide for each specific OS

Are you a medical mobile user who wishes to explore web app development? I shall share my experience in this blog as I make my journey in this direction. I have some exciting plans as well in this area so stay tuned.

Have a great year ahead,

Palmdoc.

2011 Was A Great Year

Let’s do a little recap.

I got married! I don’t know how I managed to pull in the funds, anyway, I’m glad I did. It’s true what they say, God will help you in mysterious ways if you want to get married. Picture, thanks to FarisFakri. I got him on Groupon :)

Work wise, well, I did achieve my yearly quota by August. From there on, it was smooth sailing till year end. All I had to do was focused on 2012 items.

Part Time work. I managed to complete a few projects. Antaragrafik, TeddyTods, Toshiba and some internal dashboard for the company. It’s too bad I didn’t complete my company’s website. I have it in my head, just never threw them out in the open.

I’ve also learned what’s it like to be an Apple user. I got the iPad 2 and MacBook Air. I don’t really think they live up to their expectation. I’m more of a windows user, shortcut is my thing and on Mac, you just have to press an additional key. However, I doubt anyone can beat them at built quality. It’s an astonishing feat (provided you take good care of them)… and the love-hate relationship continues. But if I have to recommend, I’d definitely be against it.

This year (ahem, mind you that it’s already 2012), my deary wife will pursue her studies in Australia. After much contemplating, we decided that it’s best I remain here. After all, it’ll be really tough to find a job like mine in Aussie. A job like mine is best for locals. It’s like how mat salleh comes here and tell me that they understand this country’s economy better, yeah, doubt so.

Also, this year’s resolution, I guess I’ll have to revisit my 2011 and blog about it later. Till then ;)

My 12 New Year's Resolutions For 2012

Today is the second day of our brand new year 2012. I am sure most of you had a blast on new year' eve right through the 1st day of 2012 right? As for me, I was at home doing my own count down while cradling my daughter and fed her milk. Ha :D Now...have you settled down already? Do you have a clear plan on what you wanna achieve in year 2012, which might be the last for all of us? *gulp* So I guess I'd better make sure that something is achieved by me before the 30-feet raging tsunami swallow me... *touch wood*

Photobucket

I believe this is only my second time revealing my new year's resolutions on this blog. Usually I don't divulge too much of my personal details, but my gut told me to as I need to leave some legacy behind for the aliens to read if the Mayan's prophecy were to materialize! Now by following the guides in my previous post: 6 Simple Steps to Keep Your New Year's Resolutions, here's what I think I wanna achieve in year 2012...

1~Stay Healthy & Injury-Free-This is number 1 in my list as I need to take care of my babies all the time. I don't wanna get sick nor injure myself in anyway.

2~Be More Time Efficient-This is a bit vague. Being a full-time daddy who has to take care of 2 demanding babies is never easy. I wanna spend more quality time with my wife and babies. Likewise I also wanna stay focused and sharp in my career without neglecting my blogs. At the same time I wanna exercise more regularly. My hands are full! Gotta use my organizer better!

3~Sleep More-This is that one very vital thing that has been clearly lacking for years. I know it will be doubly hard for me to be sleeping with the arrival of second baby...nonetheless I am going to try to sleep more. Besides my wife will be helping me out by nagging me all the time. LOL :D

4~Eat & Drink Healthily-This is an area which I must improve a lot. I have been indulging myself with too much nasi lemak and coffee. That explains why my waistline is expanding rapidly. Gotta put a stop to this urge of mine.

5~Be Lean & Mean-I used to play basketball 3 hours a day without fail. Now...I can't even play for half an hour in a week. I could run at least 5km every day...now I can't even run 5km in a week's time. What is wrong me? I have become fatter due to my lack of exercise...I need to buck up and be lean and mean again! I wanna play more balls, run more and pump more iron! Hiyeak!

6~Meditate-I used to meditate a lot back in my schooling years. Perhaps that is why I don't get tired easily after exercise rigorously every day? I need to mediate more this year as I foresee myself not going to have enough sleep every day. :'(

7~Continue Blogging-At times I do worry that my commitments and my career will derail my blogging "life". So far I am still surviving. And that is also my plan for this year. Hopefully I won't drop the bomb and give up blogging altogether.

8~Increase My Streams of Income-Online-Besides my full-time job in the office, I also managed to earn a 5-figure extra pocket money from blogging last year. I hope I can repeat that feat this year. Moreover if I have that extra time, I would love to pick up (execute) new ways to earn money online. 

9~Save More Money-*tsk tsk tsk~Shaking my head* Yours truly me, can really shop. Although I earn a lot...I am spending a lot too especially for my wife and son. So does the arrival of my daughter means I am going to spend more? Definitely. I need to restraint myself even more. Gotta snip my cards and give all my money to my wife. LOL :D

10~Learn How To Draw & Paint Digitally-This is something that I have always wanted to learn ever since I was in primary school. Hopefully I will be able to dish out something this year.

11~Pursue my Master-I told my wife that I wanna pursue my Master this year and she agreed. Then again it all depends on how well I manage my time as it will be a part-time course where I need to travel to KL every weekend. If everything goes well, I will be able to start my course this September. 

12~Be The Best Son, Brother, Father & Husband-Best is never the quantitative descriptive word to use aye? But that is what I wanna aim for, at least in my father's, brother's babies' and my wife's eyes. No matter what happens, I wanna be the very best that I can be for them. They will always be my main priority. Family First!

There you have it folks-My 12 new year's resolutions for this year. These 12 resolutions seems quite easy huh! Hopefully I don't screw up. How about you folks? Have you figured out what are your new year's resolutions? How many of my resolutions are the same as yours? What? Still haven't started writing yours yet? Don't worry. We are still in the infancy of this apocalyptic year. Ha :D Remember: with proper planning, we can have more time to do the things that we enjoy doing. Have a great year ahead everyone. :)

Crying, like a baby.

I cried like a baby when she pinched my nose, while at the same time maneuvering through all sorts of terrifying surgical equipment. “ahh, there it is”, as she picked up one of those metal sticks and began to squeezed into my face. It was my fourth facial treatment and everytime I’d turned into a little baby, crying for mom’s help as I looked helplessly at her getting rid of the poisonous pickles on my face.

 

I don’t really remember the last time I cried, like the-full-of-intense-feeling-crying that’s enough to induce those rolling tears. I’ve stopped tearing ever since I saw my mom cried over a complicated work matter. I figured out I’d have to be strong for the family, for friends. And tearing up is a global sign of weakness, I just hate to display those weaknesses in public. It doesn’t feel right.

 

But that doesn’t mean I’ve lost my humane touch. And definitely not an indication of a ignorance to problems I’ve had. Everyone has their fair share of bad circumstances, broken relationships, failures in life and that list goes on and on. It’s part & parcel in life. While it gives right to everyone to bitch/rant about it all day long, ultimately it’s really down to each individual to manage their affair in a manner they’d feel comfortable. Some feel obliged to tell the whole world about it, some feel the need to scout for attention, some choose to soak themselves in a corner, or some will just sweep it under the table.

 

I’ve grown up to be not judgmental, and to learn that differing personalities are the diversity blessed in our lives. We are bound to meet people who deal with their circumstances differently, and who are we to say that they are wrong? But there comes a point when there’s a limit to such. There comes a point where you just have to accept the adversities in life, that these are challenges life thrown at you. Blaming the circumstances will not do any better, but taking charge will change it, be it for the better or worse. What matters when you keep soldier on with that burning desire?

 

One of my good friend gave me this book for Christmas. It’s about how a wrestler, without proper limbs, set forward in his life for one goal – to win a wrestling championship. It’s hard to imagine how’s it like for a normal person to step on the fighting ring. Kyle Maynard, who already has a physical disadvantage never counts his disability a burden, but a motivation to work harder, better.

So next time if you think you are going through a hard patch, think again. Things might not be as difficult as it seems. Take a step backward and have a bird eye view. It might not even be a problem in the first place!

 

She left me with a note,

“You may have all your limbs but I have full faith that you can will also end up a champion in life.”

Thanks for having full faith in me!

Nur Amalina Is TOO SEXY Now? I Don't Think So

I was shocked! Why? Because there is this lass from Malaysia by the name of Nur Amalina Che Bakri, whose new image has caused an uproar in her native country. She is being condemned by her fellow conservative Malaysians who deem her new taste of fashion to be TOO SEXY? Now who on earth is this girl and why is she being "crucified"? Let's flash back a bit *rewind*: Nur Amalina first grabbed our nation's headlines back in 2005 when she was then the top SPM scorer with 17A1.

Photobucket
Nur Amalina in year 2005.

Now, 6 years later, Nur Amalina Che Bakri again hogged the limelight because she has been dressing TOO SEXILY. Apparently this Bank Negara sponsored girl is pursuing her degree in medicine in United Kingdom. Thousands of irked Malaysians (mostly the Muslims) have expressed their disgust on Twitter and Facebook. Some even vent their angers on blogs? The question is...has Nur Amalina really crossed the line? Has Nur Amalina really dressed so SEXILY that it is a sin to her religion and family? Let's find out...

Photobucket
Nur Amalina is too sexy in this outfit? What say you?

Photobucket
Nur Amalina (far left) has forgotten her root and religion?

Photobucket
I bet now you guys will say she is a lesbian now?

Photobucket
So this outfit that Nur Amalina was wearing is considered to be SINFUL?

To be fair, Nur Amalina's attires are not too revealing at all. It is not like she is wearing a bikini or something. I really feel sorry for her as she has to bear the grunt of some silly Malaysians from Stone Age. I mean what's wrong with her clothes? She is not scantily clad right? It beats me to read some blogs where certain quarters are trying to scandalize the way she dress. Some even went on to blame her for tarnishing the image of Muslim and the "purity" of our country. What a silly joke!

Do you know what is SEXY?

Photobucket
This is what we call sexy and naughtily sinful.

Out of the sudden some Malaysians are being so pious with their religions and have the time to play fashion police huh? No disrespect but IMHO covering yourselves up with tudung or putting on the taqiyah don't make you someone religious. So stop castigating Nur Amalina. She has her own life to live and she doesn't have to listen to all this nonsense. I think only her parents have the right to criticize her and disagree with her newly-acquired fashion sense. Last but not least, I think Nur Amalina's attires is a bit daring, but definitely not revealing. I rest my case.

Do you think Nur Amalina has crossed the lines?

P.S.: I don't advocate women to dress like a slut and I have a daughter myself. However I think this is ridiculous and I don't want my daughter to be "stoned", just like how Nur Amalina has been.

改變。

於是我們準時回到東京。


在新幹線上往東京奔馳的回程中。

車滿了,買了自由席車票的日本遊子站在車廂間的走廊上。空氣很乾,乾到靜靜佇立在我座位前的機子上的星巴克抹茶拿鐵無法從中抽取一滴水珠。

車廂裡一如往常地安靜,絲毫沒有被昨天東日本的七級地震動搖。友人們在 Facebook 私信我是否安全;我跟他們說:「大丈夫(Daijobu,即沒有問題的意思)日本人對地震沒甚麼恐懼,但非常害怕津波(Tsunami, 日文中的海嘯)的襲擊,只要海上沒有動靜,有驚無險地搖晃幾下不是很大的問題。」

胡嫂睡了,過去幾天的忙碌和現在的寧靜成了反對比,在日本過年是她一家人的事;新年夜和她一家人的團圓晚飯,第二天一早到廟裡祈福,第三天徒步爬到海拔438米的貴志山上求財神眷顧,吃了令人回味無窮的烏冬麵後再去婆婆家探訪那對高齡八十八歲但還堅持獨立居住的兩位老人家們,和他們閒聊家常,我坐在一旁的沙發上看無間斷放送的 NHK 娛樂節目 — 來了許久,終於稍微聽得懂他們的電視節目,可以跟著電視上的笑軌一起大聲的笑。

末了,胡嫂爸爸把我們送回車站,意味著為工作忙碌的日子即將來臨。

新幹線迫不及待地把我們從新大阪途徑京都、名古屋、把我們送往東京的方向。

人在也算「家」的異鄉,我的身份是「外人」(Gaijin, 日文中外地人的意思)但卻有家人在奈良。為了工作在中國長住,這種時候分外令人困惑;離開馬來西亞時,有人說這是不愛國的表現,但是離開後我發現長住在外的同鄉們其實都是愛國份子;我會為馬來西亞的不爭氣辯護,我會為我們的羽球國手吶喊,我會為國內的種種不平憤怒。

但我不是憤青。

一月四日坐在十四號車廂中的我和胡嫂以時速三百七十公里的速度前進,心裡想的卻是自己的國家在表面的歌舞昇平假象中逐步倒退的尷尬。但更讓我心疼的是看到一群口中吶喊著愛國的賣國賊在持續著他們那妖言惑眾的伎倆,讓不明就里的大家繼續被口號欺騙。

大選要來了。我跟胡嫂說,馬來西亞需要一線生機。
因為我們真的不能再浪費四年的時間了,若要在貪腐的國陣和凌亂的民聯之間作出抉擇的話,我寧願選擇凌亂。

雖然身為媒體人的我理性上要保持中立,但是中立的我不能沒有立場。
看著東京的種種進步不禁讓我為馬來西亞的種種退步惋惜。

我很喜歡跟海外的朋友分享 P. Ramlee 那個時代的氛圍,當年物質上可能沒有現在的發達,但是當年友族間的開明卻遠遠比現在還好。甚麼樣的領導就會有甚麼樣的人民;聽命于神的領導有點像當年的羅馬,一切歸咎於上帝。

反正,神要你死,你最好自我了斷,要不自然會有人替天行道。
所以清晨被發現屍陳四樓陽台上死於非命的馬來西亞人民找不到公義。

理所當然地,新幹線會準時抵達東京站。
我希望馬來西亞的改變也會一樣理所當然地隨著這次大選而來。

TM Negligence Exposes Thousands of Malaysia Streamyx Accounts


Many Malaysians are unhappy with the expensive Streamyx broadband charges offered by TM (Telekom Malaysia) because other countries offers faster connection for a cheaper price. As for me, I am just happy that we have broadband and is fine to me as long as the connection is stable.

2012 New Year Message(en/bm/cn)

2012 New Year Message By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 31 December 2011.

Let Us Embrace A Future Of A Cleaner, Greener & Safer Penang That Rewards Those Who Works Hard, Works Honestly And Works Smart.

For nearly 225 years since Penang first appeared on the world map, the fortunes of Penang has risen and fallen. Penang has prospered when we realise that for a state without any natural resources, we need to rely our human resources and develop human talent. Penang has declined when we forget that it is the energy, expertise and entrepreneurship of our people that makes Penang so unique.

Despite the divergent paths taken by different governments over these 225 years, Penang has managed to survive because our ties to each other were bonded by blood, tested by time and driven by shared values of respect for diversity that endured till this day. This tradition of harmony and mutual respect amongst the different ethnic groups and cultures, symbolised by mosques, churches, Indian temples and Chinese temples built near to each other, was recognised by UNESCO when George Town was awarded World Heritage City status on 7.7.2008.

For this reason, there is confience that Penang can defeat the extremists who appeal to beastly emotions and overcome the racists who play up to our worst fears that it is either to dominate or be discriminated. Let us not be stuck in the past of neglect, indifference or even intolerance.

Penang is willing to embrace the future. For this reason Penang aspires to transform ourselves into an international and intelligent state as this is the only route to survival in the globalised world.

As a state without any natural resources, we need to build up our human capital by training, retraining, retaining and attracting new human talents.

Penang must embrace a sustainable future with affordable housing and more green spaces. We must embrace green technology of the future, especially renewable and solar energy. Whilst green initiatives will continue to ensure that resources used today will still be available tomorrow, this must include affordable housing. The Penang state government has allocated the largest amount for affordable housing amongst all state governments in Malaysia, a RM500 million Affordable Housing Fund to ensure that we can bring up our children with dignity.

We must embrace a future without poverty. Penang is the first state to wipe out hard-core poverty in Malaysia in 2009 and implement social cash handouts. Penang will ensure that all households receive a minimum of RM600 monthly next year. Penang intends to also be the first state in Malaysia to wipe out poverty by 2015.

We must embrace a future of safe neighbourhoods where crime is low and the city safe for women and children. Whilst the police in Penang has done their share to keep crime low, the state government has done its part by installing CCTVs and start community policing to make Penang the safest state in Malaysia.

We need to rekindle our memory and renew our ties to the values of working hard, working honestly and working smart. Only by establishing institutions and creating conditions can we succeed in inspiring innovation especially centered on high technology, high-value added and knowledge intensive economy.

We must embrace a future of integrity and no corruption. Malaysia has endured a lost decade from 2000-9 of losses of 1,007 billion in illicit funds according to the Washington-based Global Financial Integrity Report, including corruption money, secretly taken out of Malaysia. In contrast Penang has achieved record budget surpluses every year including rescuing the Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai from bankruptcy ever since the PR state government implemented CAT governance of competency, accountability and transparency that has won praise from Transparency International.

Let us embrace a future of a cleaner, greener and safer Penang that rewards those who work hard, work honestly and work smart. Happy New Year 2012!

LIM GUAN ENG

Perutusan Tahun Baru 2012 Oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Di Komtar, George Town Pada 31.12.2011

Mari Kita Memeluk Masa Depan Pulau Pinang Yang Lebih Bersih, Hijau Dan Selamat Dan Yang Membawa Rezeki Kepada Mereka Yang Bekerja Secara Kuat, Jujur Dan Bijak.

Selama hampir 225 tahun sejak Pulau Pinang mula muncul dalam persada dunia, nasibnya telah mengalami kemakmuran dan juga kemerosotan. Pulau Pinang makmur apabila kita sedar bahawa sesuatu negeri tanpa apa-apa sumber asli haruslah bergantung kepada sumber manusia dan pembangunan modal insan. Pulau Pinang merosot apabila kita lupa bahawa sumber keistimewaan negeri kita merupakan tenaga, kepakaran dan daya kesusahawanan rakyat kita.

Walaupun kerajaan-kerajaan yang telah memerintah Pulau Pinang selama 225 tahun ini telah mengambil pelbagai haluan yang berlainan, negeri kita masih lagi kukuh kerana hubungan sesama rakyatnya yang dijalinkan melalui darah, diuji masa dan didorong oleh semangat hormat kepada kepelbagaian. Tradisi keharmonian dan saling hormat-menghormati di antara pelbagai etnik dan budaya yang dilambangkan dalam pembinaan masjid, gereja, kuil-kuil India dan Cina di sekitar kawasan yang berdekatan, telah diiktiraf oleh UNESCO apabila George Town diberi status Bandar Warisan Dunia pada 7.7.2008. Untuk sebab ini, kita yakin Pulau Pinang mampu mengalahkan golongan pelampau yang menggunakan emosi jijik dan juga mengatasi golongan rasis yang menakutkan rakyat dengan ancaman sama ada untuk mendominasi atau didiskriminasikan. Mari kita bebaskan diri daripada sikap-sikap pengabaian, tidak peduli dan tidak toleransi.

Pulau Pinang hendak memeluk masa depan. Untuk sebab ini, Pulau Pinang bercita-cita untuk menjadi sebuah negeri yang pintar dan bertaraf antarabangsa demi berdaya saing dalam dunia globalisasi. Sebagai negeri yang tiada sumber asli, kita harus membangunkan sumber manusia dengan melatih, melatih semula, mengekalkan dan menarik modal insan.

Pulau Pinang harus memeluk masa depan yang mapan dengan perumahan mampu milik dan kawasan-kawasan hijau yang lebih. Kita harus memeluk teknologi hijau masa depan, terutamanya tenaga boleh diperbaharui dan tenaga solar. Sementara inisiatif hijau akan berterusan, perumahan mampu milik juga diberi kepentingan. Dalam pada itu, Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang telah memperuntukkan jumlah terbesar di kalangan semua kerajaan negeri di Malaysia, iaitu sebanyak RM500 juta untuk Dana Perumahan Mampu Milik demi memastikan anak-anak kita akan dibesarkan dalam keadaan yang selesa dan bermartabat.

Kita harus memeluk masa depan tanpa kemiskinan. Pulau Pinang telah menjadi negeri pertama untuk membasmi kemiskinan tegar pada tahun 2009 dengan pemberian bantuan kewangan sosial. Tahun depan, kita akan memastikan bahawa setiap keluarga di Pulau Pinang akan menerima pendapatan minima sebanyak RM600 sebulan. Pulau Pinang juga mempunyai hasrat untuk menjadi negeri pertama di Malaysia untuk membasmi kemiskinan menjelang 2015.

Kita harus memeluk masa depan yang selamat di mana kadar jenayah adalah rendah dan bandaraya kita selamat untuk wanita dan kanak-kanak. Sementara pihak polis di Pulau Pinang telah bekerja keras untuk mengurangkan kadar jenayah, Kerajaan Negeri juga telah memainkan peranan dengan memasang CCTV dan memulakan program polis masyarakat untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang negeri yang paling selamat di Malaysia.

Kita harus memperbaharui semangat kerja yang kuat, jujur dan bijak. Hanya melalui penubuhan institusi dan kewujudan peluang boleh kita mencetuskan inovasi yang berteraskan teknologi, nilai tambah yang tinggi dan ekonomi berasaskan pengetahuan.

Kita harus memeluk masa depan yang berintegriti dan bersih. Mengikut laporan Global Financial Integriti yang berpusat di Washington, dari tahun 2000-9 Malaysia telah kehilangan satu dekad dek korupsi berjumlah RM1,007 bilion melalui penyelewengan wang haram. Sebaliknya di Pulau Pinang, kita telah mencapai lebihan bajet setiap tahun dan berjaya menyelamatkan Majlis Perbandaran Seberang Perai daripada kemuflisan sejak mengambil alih Kerajaan Negeri dengan pengamalan pentadbiran yang berasaskan prinsip CAT (Cekap, Akauntabel, Telus) yang telah diiktiraf oleh Transparency International.

Mari kita memeluk masa depan Pulau Pinang yang lebih bersih, hijau dan selamat dan yang membawa rezeki kepada mereka yang bekerja secara keras, jujur dan bijak. Selamat Tahun Baru 2012!

LIM GUAN ENG

—— Mandarin Translation —–

槟州首席部长林冠英于2011年12月31日在光大乔治市发表新年献词:

让我们拥抱一个未来更清洁、绿意及安全的槟州,奖赏那些在工作方面努力、诚实及精明的人。

槟城自225年前首次出现在世界地图上时,它经历了起起落落。当我们发现,对于一个没有任何天然资源的州属,我们需要依赖我们的人力资源及栽培人才。当我们忘了是人民的活力、专业及企业精神让槟城变得如此独特,我们开始走下坡。

尽管在过去225年,不同的政府采用了不同的治理方式,槟城还是不断前进,因为时间证明我们血脉相依,大家在彼此共同尊敬多元的价值观下一起成长到今天。这项各族群及文化和谐共处及互相尊重的传统,可以从回教堂、基督堂、兴都庙及华人神庙兴建于毗邻可以看出,也在2008年7月7月被联合国科教文组织承认,而被列为世界文化遗产城。因此,槟城有信心,我们可以打败那些诉诸可怕情绪的极端分子及面对种族主义分子,他们总是玩弄我们最恐惧的事,不是谁主导谁、就是谁被岐视。让我们不要再被过往的忽略、漠视或甚至不容忍影响,停滞不前。

槟州愿意拥抱未来。因此,槟城希望转型成为一个国际及智慧城市,这也是在这个全球化世界里唯一生存的方式。由于槟州没有任何天然资源,我们必须强化我们的人力资源,培训他们、再培训、留住人才及吸引新人才。

槟州必须拥抱一个永续未来,拥有可负担的房屋及更多绿色空间。我们必须拥抱未来的绿色科技,特别是可再生资源及太阳能。绿色计划会确保今天的资源仍为明天所用,这必须包括可负担房屋。槟州政府已经拨出一笔款项给可负担房屋,这笔款项是全马州政府当中最高的,这笔5亿令吉的可负担房屋基金将确保我们可以有尊严地养大我们的孩子。

我们必须拥抱一个没有贫穷的未来。槟州在2009成为第一个扫除赤贫的州属,并以现款发派社会福利。槟州明年起会确保家家户户每月收入至少600令吉。我们希望在2015年成为全马每一个扫除贫穷的州属。

我们必须为妇女和孩子拥抱一个低罪案及安全的邻里未来,槟州警方已经尽力确保低罪案率,州政府也已经尽力安装闭路电视,展开巡逻,让槟州成为全马最安全的州属。

我们必须重新点燃我们的记忆及更新我们对努力、诚实及精明工作的价值观。唯有建立制度及条件,我们必须启发创新,特别是在高科技、高附加价值及知识经济方面。

我们必须拥抱一个廉洁及没有贪污的未来。根据全球金融廉洁报告,马来西亚在2000年至2009年期间非法外流资金高达10万70亿令吉,包括贪污后被暗中带出国的金钱。相比之下,自从民联政府推行能干、公信及透明的施政方针,槟州每年都有财政预算盈余,包括拯救了威省市政局的濒临破产情况,我们甚至获得国际透明组织的表扬。

让我们拥抱一个未来更清洁、绿意及安全的槟州,奖赏那些在工作方面努力、诚实及精明的人。新年快乐!
