From Kwongwah:
大马和全球股市愁云密布,世界各地市场兵败如山倒,盘价全线大崩跌,尤其是本地股市的综指今早一度猛泻逾百点,因原本已脆弱不堪的市场进一步受到周二美股急挫逾400点的大打击。

From Sinchew:

From TheStar:
Malaysia's key stock index plunged 6 percent at midday Wednesday, its biggest single session drop in nine years, as foreign funds cashed out amid jitters over a slowdown in China and Wall Street's drop overnight.

Battle of Penang (2)

Now want to build a by-pass road to avoid BORR and it take 3 months (here too). During this 3 months of waiting, the toll collection should delay till the by-pass road complete.

"The state government's hands are tied as the decision to impose toll was the prerogative of the federal government and the BORR concessionaire, Lingkaran Luar Butterworth Sdn Bhd.

"The only thing we can do now is to appeal to the federal government and the concessionaire to defer toll collection at the plaza until the free alternative route is ready," said Teng.

Why when this issue affect local resident, the state government can't make a say in it? the project suppose to benefit Rakat, not burden Rakyat. There should has a public consultation before proceed with the project, not after the people opposed to it. Why all the main road being converted to Highway then leave no road for us to drive FOC although we pay our road tax every year. Why must we use by-pass road which wasting our time turn here & there and creating another hell of jam and affecting the livelihood of those residents like Taman Kimsar, etc?

Tai Chi

Now the former and current Home Ministers are playing Tai Chi.

Quote fro The Sun:
In the interview, Azmi said that in February 2006, he was moved to his present ministry but he and the ministry staff forgot to inform Radzi about it.

Forgot? come on, if this the decision made at that time, don't tell me it's not taken down in minutes, only verbally agreed? Bull shit!!!

Also from The Sun:
On Radzi's harsh criticism, Azmi said: "At the outset, I wish to stress that Radzi and I are old friends. We discussed the matter after the cabinet meeting, and he told me not to believe all that was written in the newspapers."

Is that means the mainstream newspaper that we are reading is spinning the story??

Battle of Penang - update

The Battle Continue. More protests coming up. 1st Toll highway in Penang besides Penang Bridge. After BORR, next is PORR. So are you all fellow Penangite wake up now?

Read here and here. But do you think they care? Now they touch the sensitive nerve of fellow Penangite, watch out BN.

Disposal Diaper

槟城13日讯)父母使用“用后即弃尿片”,是对孩子溺爱还是毒害?

槟城消费人协会主席莫哈末依立斯局绅指出,该会将致函要求卫生部禁止市面使用及销售用后即弃尿片,因为它含有可能会危害到婴孩健康的毒化学物质。

他说,这些尿片含有的一些物质可能会对婴儿造成许多伤害,包括令人感到疼痛的皮疹、哮喘,甚至成年后的不育和癌症等。

因此,他们也吁请为人父母者避免使用“用后即弃尿片”,因为孩子的皮肤比较薄,化学物品更易被吸收进婴儿的体内。

“目前大马约有70%至80%的父母使用‘用后即弃尿片’,因为非常方便;但是相信他们并不知道这些用后即弃尿片对他们的孩子所造成的伤害。”



含化学胶体增吸水量

莫哈末依立斯表示,尿片制造商经常强调用后即弃尿片能使婴儿长时间感到干爽,这是因为尿片中间放的聚乙烯酸钠(一种胶体)能起隔绝作用,不会弄湿婴儿的皮肤;它被做成粒状的粉末,然后放进尿片里,湿了之后就会变成胶体,能吸收其200至300倍重量的水份。

“使用‘用后即弃尿片’可让家长少换尿片,却会引发皮肤疹,因为婴儿会接触到这种吸收剂的化学物质,滋生的细菌和尿片里尿液的阿摩尼亚。此外,它不只吸收尿液,还会吸干婴儿皮肤的天然润湿气,使皮肤易爱受刺激。”

他称,也有报导指这种聚乙烯酸钠可造成婴儿的皮肤受严重刺激、会阴或阴囊组织出血、发烧、呕吐和受葡萄状球菌感染。初生婴儿首年包尿片

用去2万5千个小时莫哈末依立斯透露,婴儿在出世第一年包尿片约2万5千个小时,婴儿在出生头两年半里要用上3450令吉至4470令吉包尿片,而新生儿在懂得自己使用厕所前可能要用到6000块尿片。


促用环保布尿片

他呼吁为人父母者应多使用较安全、经济和环保的布尿片,因为单单6000块用后即弃尿片就要用325公斤塑料来做防水衬垫和包装,也要砍4至5棵树来生产足够的绒毛般纸浆。

同时,由于制造用后即弃尿片的环境成本很高,该会也会致函予环境部。


用后即弃尿片的种种祸害

根据槟城消费人协会提供的资料显示,用后即弃尿片是用大量人造材料制造,包括:

(1)尿片外层的聚乙烯膜、聚酯(用来制造多孔尿片的最上层)。

* 以塑料包装的外层将压缩混合尿液里的阿摩尼亚与细菌从中滋长,加剧贴身敏感部位的痕痒。

(2)用氯处理过的木材纸浆所做的绒毛层(此过程会产生副产品二恶英,一种致癌物)。

* 美国环境保护局已把二恶英列为致癌相关的化合物之中,最危险的一种致癌物。据动物化验报告显示,即使是计量微小的二恶英成份,都足以导致生育畸形和缺陷,伤害皮肤或肝脏的病症,压抑免疫系统,破坏基因。

(3)做内层的聚丙烯酸钠(一种有毒的强力胶体吸收剂)。

* 这种凝胶状聚合物,可能把婴孩生殖器官也一并凝结起来,导致过敏症的现象。美国曾有一名4个月大的女婴阴道就被特强凝胶吸干而造成阻塞现象。其他后遗症包括导致严重的皮肤发痒、婴孩下部出血、身体发烧、呕吐及其它传染病。

(4)油脂和可能引发敏感症的树脂(作为尿片材料的粘合剂)。

* 据瑞士研究报告指出,通常配合粘胶采用的松树脂会引起敏感,这些化合物成份不断渗透导致发痒,接着可能面对皮肤炎的风险。

(5)有害的芳香剂。

* 香水某些成份会对一些人引起不良影响,如周期性偏头痛和哮喘病。因此,面对那些浓缩的香水成份时,呼吸率较高和皮肤较嫩弱的孩子也会面对较高的风险。

(6)其它有害化学品,如磷酸三丁酯锡(一种人造的毒素)。

* 世界卫生组织把三丁酯化合物(TBT)列为近日世界消费物品中可能隐藏最毒的物质之一。它是一种杀虫剂的化合成份,主要用来消灭细菌或防止细菌繁殖;因此对人体来说,即使微小份量的TBT都可能损害我们的免疫系统及荷尔蒙系统。

辛年快乐,乱世如意

新年快乐,万事如意,还是, “辛年快了”, “乱世如遇”,又或者正面积极点, “辛年能快乐”, “乱世都如意”?


Positive Vs Negative.

Silly Decision

Very interesting at yesterday news. Current Home Minister said former Home Minister's decision of having lucky draw to encourage Rakyat to apply MyKad was Silly. But as far as i still remember, no one, i mean no Rakyat of Malaysia asking that "silly lucky draw". So 1st thing, our Home Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad, you should apologies to all Malaysians by naming us, Rakyat, IRRESPONSIBLE MALAYSIANS. As for me, i got my MyKad before Aug 25 2005 and most of my family members too.

You should apologies to the Cabinet too (2005 aug). It was a cabinet decision. So are you saying all these dead woods also made a "silly decision" at that time? Maybe yes with that kind of mentality. On the positive side, maybe you are having a higher level of mentality compared to the others cabinet members. A "good" sign for Malaysia!!!

And when promised, whether is former or current, promise is a promise, don't simply cancel it, then you are cheating!!!

Zero Squatter

Another sad story of so called Developed Selangor State Government.


Probably for the first time in their lives, the Kg Berembang villagers saw with their own eyes the government and its agencies siding openly with a private developer. There was no mercy from the government that had always claimed to be caring. The kris-kissing, self-proclaimed champions of the Malay race were not there to defend the homes of the villagers, all of whom are Malays, and until the demolition, UMNO stalwarts.

Another Malaysia Boleh

In Boleh-Land, everything is Boleh. You Boleh keep everything secret, you Boleh arrest people who protest, you Boleh sue whistle blower that did nothing bad to the society but infact help the society, you Boleh do everything Lah!!!

From Kwong Wah:
警方周一召见了4名声称拥有政府与大道公司之间合约的反对党党要.

From The Star:
The four opposition officials being investigated under the Official Secrets Act (OSA) over the disclosure of a toll concession agreement were questioned for three hours at Bukit Aman yesterday.

From The Sun:
It is time for the Official Secrets Act (OSA) to be reviewed since it is "now being used for purposes that have little or nothing to do with the safety or interests of our country", Asli's Centre for Public Policy Studies (CPPS) said.
