All the while people has this perception that AB blood group people are "selfish" as they only donate thier blood to AB group. Unlike O group where they are the most "generous", giving to all A, B, O and AB group.
As one of the 5% population in this Malaysia, i need to clarify to all people that AB blood group in fact are very "generous" as well.
Type O negative blood is called the "universal blood type" because it can be transfused to people of all blood types. Type O positive can be given to anyone with a positive Rh factor.
Type AB plasma has been considered as the universal Blood plasma type, and therefore AB plasma is given to patients with any Blood type as AB Plasma does not have both anti-A antibody & anti B antibody.
Plasma is use for transfusion or manufactured into medicines. AB Plasma that is use for transfusion is prepared into small aliquots an dgiven to neonates who require multiple plasma transfusion. Besides, many medicines are manufacture from plasma such as Coagulation Factor Concentrated VIII & IX, IgG, 20% Albumin, etc.
Plasma can be donated through the process called Ahperesis and every 2 weeks up tp 25X a year, each time 600cc. Compared to whole blood donor, they are only able to donate 4X a year each time 450cc.
So, donate more to help when you are able to do so!

外国学生一针见血道出旅游业弱点 槟缺安全感
（槟岛西南区11日讯）槟州刚被列为世界文化遗产，旅游业前景备受看好，但来自新加坡国立大学中文EMBA学位课程学生却一针见血道出槟州旅游业弱点，建议槟州政府改进。
他们一团50人是在教授许士军的带领下到槟城考察学习，获得槟州政府款待，同时安排他们参与一场主题“为槟州工业及旅游业未来10年品牌化”讲座会，在会上提出精辟的意见，希望槟州政府能改善。
四川学生：担心财务 无法愉快旅行
其中一名来自中国四川的学生表示，身为一名游客，最基本的就是安全感，但是他来槟州几天后对本身的财务感到担心，无法愉快的游行。
他也说，槟州的基本交通不便利，的士不打表计程令游客留下坏印象，而且收费也不便宜，此外，道路没有清楚标示，时常令他们走错路。
他也询问，槟州有什么纪念品是有标志性的？他建议槟州政府应该为槟城设立一个主题及纪念品，同时该纪念品需要便于携带及精美，让游客可以购买回去送给他人作礼物。
上海学生：污染严重 关注环保问题
其中一名来自上海的学生则说，他在还未到槟城之前有个浪漫的想法，以为可以漫步沙滩，但是槟州海滨的污染很严重，排污系统不完善，因此希望槟州政府可以关注环保的问题。
中国学生：宣传不足 应拥主题品牌
另一名也是来自中国的学生说，他本身对槟城入遗没什么概念，在看了入遗介绍后，才发现有很多值得挖掘的地方，显然槟州政府在宣传方面略为不足。
他也说， 作为一个旅游城市应该拥有一个主题品牌，比如新加坡有个鱼尾狮，美国有个自由女神像，槟州也应该有个标识物。
还有一名学生也说，槟城入遗后应该吸引很多外资前来共同发展旅游业，槟州政府在招商发展旅游业上，应该详细列出主题，收益，合作的模式，包括给对方多少年的经营，未来收益的预估，这对一个城市的旅游规划会比较有说服力。
林玉裳：没有告示牌及地图
当天主讲塑造槟城－文化遗产旅游的槟城古迹信托会财政林玉裳在回应时说，槟州政府及人民其实还没充份准备入遗，所以很多机制还未成立，州政府还有很多工作需要进行。
她说，槟州充满历史的古迹，由于没有导游带领解说，也没有告示牌及地图，很多游客到来后，都觉得没什么好看，下次就不来了，她对槟城的旅游是否可持续性感到担忧。
张均权：美好回忆非常重要
来自新加坡国立大学的主讲者张均权教授则说，一名游客到槟城旅游，槟州能给他留下什么经验及美好回忆是非常重要的，槟州政府应该为州内旅游业寻求一个定位，从这方面切入吸引游客。
丘光宪：槟工业需品牌化
槟州工业咨询理事会顾问团副主席拿督斯里丘光宪则说，许多国家的旅游产品包装都已经改变，但是槟城的旅游保持不变，或许也是一种特色。
另外，在谈到工业品牌上，他认为，好的品牌就是一个代名词，槟州工业在未来10年需以新元素吸引外资，进行工业品牌化。
他说，槟州在过去50年前以劳资廉宜吸引外资，中国开放后则需要作出转变，欲提高槟州工业品牌，首先工业领域需要多方面发展，除了电子业，也需要提供医药业、食品工业、生物科技等发展，让投资者有额外优势。
他也指，槟州也需要以其他服务来辅助工业，旅游、医疗保健及生活素质也是投资者的考量，是不能忽略的环节。
“槟州工业在未来10年内需具备创造性，吸引力，建立共鸣感，才能让投资者留下深刻印象，对槟州工业充满信心。”
他说，欲进行品牌打造需要一系列的步骤，好的品牌需要一致性清楚传达讯息，让人一看到那个品牌就知道是什么产品，同时需要建立信用，培养顾客对品牌的忠诚度。
他也说，槟州工业是从劳工密集转移到技能密集，同时现在工业是强调设计及发展，并提供完整的供应链给予顾客，这些都需要清楚的向投资者表达，才能让他们对投资产生信心。

Le Tour de Langkawi 2009
Surprisingly not much of campaigne and ads for this event and i really not aware of it until news report on radio broadcasted it this morning.
Check the website, very disappointed with this 2009 event. Only 7 stages covering Putrajaya, KL, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johor, Selangor and little bit of Pahang. I believe the 2009 event will be the least "area covered" as compared to previous events.
Clearly from the states involve, you can see all PR states are excluded except Selangor which the organizer has no choice but to do it as Putrajaya and KL are located in Selangor. This year even also only has one stage of Climbing to Genting Highland (Category Hors), unlike previous tours which had normally few climbing stages (Category 1-3 plus a Hors). Total distance still about the same 1,000 km.
Anyway, i will still watch it live if possible especially the Climbing stage to Genting Highland! Go teams from Malaysia and win at least one stage, give a fight to the pro-teams!

China is Leading in CDM projects
Last week, China finally over take India in term of number of registered CDM project activity. Anyhow, all the while since 2-3 years back, China has the highest number of estimated CERs as China has project activities with > 10 mil CERs per project. Ever wonder why China has the most CERs and number of Projects? Answer is simple, China is the 2nd most polluted country after USA. But lucky for China is, they are caterogorise under Non-Annex 1 country (or developing country). So no commitment to reduce emmisions but can carry out voluntary.
As per today (6th Feb 2009), China has 404 registered projects, India has 392 projects.
How about Malaysia? We are currently ranked no. 5 with 37 registered project activities and FYI, i have one project registered!
How about the smallest CDM Project? It is also from Malaysia with only 173 CERs per annum.
For those who need to understand what is CDM, click here.

Non-sense
(4:45pm) PM Datuk Seri Abdullah has told Pakatan Rakyat to accept Barisan's rule in Perak. "They should accept it just as we had accepted results of the general election," he said. Abdullah also expressed his appreciation to the Perak Sultan for not dissolving the state assembly.
It is the same results? One is through normal voting process by Perakians, the democracy way, one is through back door. You judge yourself, words from someone that leaving the office soon.
Hopeless Malaysia
BN is in power again through back door. Sultan Perak reject PR's wish to dissolve the DUN. Indeed a sad news for Malaysia's history. History will record this event, the victory of rakyat being robbed away from back door.
We voted for changed after 51 years in darkness. At last after 308, we can see the light at the end of tunnel. But the light was shut off just like this. 54% of Perakians who voted PR in 308 have been denied the right to choose their government! And the betrayal must pay for it.
Let the ballot box to speak again, in coming GE. May UMNO and BN are totally wipe out from the Malaysia political radar.
Time will tell. Till one day, The Jedi Will Return!
PR, the fights and struggles will goes on.

A New Hope Please ......
Too bad for these frogs, jumping around and caused instability to the Perak Government. End of the day, the Perakians who suffer the most! If BN really able to form the "new government" soon, what will happen to the new policy that PR had announced, such as Free Hold title for New Villages, lands for Chinese private school to self-sustains, and etc. Furthermore, the "new government" only have 2 non-bumis Adun, can they representing the Perakians that having almost 55% of non-bumis?
Sad to see DAP's Hee defection. As she sound so firm that she will not defect. Seem like it was all a big time kaw-kaw sandiwara. But, can you see her face during the Najib's PC, look so tense & sad. Not even a word i guess. Anyway, she is buying time for Najib. She won't appeared if not Lim Guan Eng warned her that day. Such a lame excuse given. Then these 2 missing-in-action EXCO PKR suddenly appeared in Najib office and giving a lame excuse of sick. Therefore can't be contacted by the whole world even thier family members. But Najib able to contact these 2 guys. Amazing! Of course, the main joker of the whole incident is Bota Adun, it seem like "now you got me, now you don't". I was wonder whether this Bota Adun was a bait sent by Najib to Anwar. I wonder how these frogs would face the Rakyat who voted them?
I have to salute PAS as they are very firm on thier stand! After a by-election was held in PAS ruled Kelantan during 2004 - 2008 where the existing PAS seat was lost to UMNO and PAS only had one seat different in DUN, they did not defect too no matter how bad the situation. Unlike DAP and PKR or PBS, many frogs were there and continue to have from time to time. That is why DAP is very much hoping for the Anti-Hoping Law. That is why also BN never want to push for it, as history tells us that they were benefited all the while.
Then come to this EC pulak, another joker of the day. They decide not to call a by-election, an act of unconstitutional. For me, EC is helping Najib to buy time, at least to drag after Silver Jubilee of Sultan Perak on 3rd Feb 2009.
I do hope Sultan Perak will let the Perakians to decide again who should lead the government through the ballot box, not by jumping frogs. As the "boss" of the state, they should have the right to choose.
And finally, if the wish to have a fresh state election is granted, i hope all these frogs will disappear from the political arena forever. With this election also, once for all i hope Najib and UMNO will lost in coming GE.

Once For All, Dissolve It
Seem like PR of Government Perak has no other choice but to dissolve it to have a new mandate from Perakian. Too many stupid things happen since day one of 1st lunar month in OX.
With more & more rumours that DAP's Hee also quited the party (rumour still), how well the government is able to function and fight the economic crisis instead of this political crisis?
Conduct a new state election and once for all shut them (UMNO especially) off!!
God bless Perakian!
