    • Assalamualaikum wbrt….salam satu malaysia…saya yang memegang nombor kad pengenalan 780905125896 selaku penganggur yg telah berusia 34 tahun ingin meminta bantuan Dato’ Seri, dengan kuasa yang dipegang sekarang ini dan sebagai pemimpin 1 Malaysia, saya nak mendapatkan pekerjaan tetap memandangkan sejak usia 21 tahun lagi saya telah mengisi borang spa8, tetapi sampai hari ini saya  masih belum menerima berita baik tersebut. bagaimana saya nak selesaikan hutang pinjaman pelajaran saya pada pihak MARA? saya pernah berkerja sebagai kerani dalam institusi swasta namun masih belum mencukupi sehinggalah tamat kontrak, dan sekarang ini saya telah memohon jawatan pembantu perpustakaan dengan gred N17, jadi dengan ini saya mohon bantuan sokongan dari Dato’ Seri. dari yang gusar.

    • kenapa pekerja sementara/temporary tidak ada kenaikkan gaji??

    • kenapa pekerja sementara/temporary tidak ada kenaikkan gaji setiap tahun??

    • saya harap gaji pengawal keselamatan akan naik…setengah tempat masih ada lagi yg degil nak naik

    • saya harp gaji pengawal keselamatan akan naik..

    • Blue ocean strategy – eliminate, reduce, raise, create

    • Dekat 10 tahun saya menanti panggilan untuk jawatan yang saya pohon dalam borang permohonan SPA8, jawatan pun taklah ‘demaind’ sangat,sekadar kemampuan dan mengikut kelayakan yang dimilki sahaja. namun sehingga ke hari ini belum ada rezeki lagi, altenatif terakhir saya ialah memilih untuk menghantar memo ini sekadar meminta sokongan dari Dato’ Seri. bukan apa, saya tengah bimbang kerana saya sedang menanggung beban hutang dengan pihak MARA. pernah bayar tapi cuma sekali sahaja kerana kemampuan masih belum cukup, maklumlah masa itu kerja sebagai kerani di syarikat swasta dengan bergaji rm800.00 sampai tamat kontrak.dan sekarang menganggur. surat peringatan MARA semakin mendesak. bukan nak salahkan tetapi bagaimana cara saya nak bayar kalau diri sendiri pun masih tekapai-kapai. baru-baru ini saya ada mencuba nasib untuk memohon jawatan sebagai pembantu perpustakaan gred N17, tak kisahlah asalkan saya memiliki pendapatan tetap agar mudah membuat pembayaran balik. walaupun saya tahu risiko umur saya semakin sukar diterima dalam sektor kerajaan. nak buat macam mana, nak berniaga, modal tak ada, kalau buat pinjaman lagi, tak mungkinlah saya lakukan kerana pinjaman dulu belum selesai lagi. saya hanya minta sokongan dari Dato’ Seri…….wassalam….dari yang sedang bimbang.

    • setuju dengan kenaikan gaji swasta sbb amat diperlukan bagi pekerja2 swasta yang begitu ramai di negara kita.akan tetapi, kenaikan ini perlulah disertakan dengan strukur panduan yang kondusif kerana terdapat beribu jenis sektor dalam swasta cthnya sektor perhotelan,pembinaan dsbgnya dan masing2 punyai struktur yang berbeza terutamanya dari segi pemberian gaji mengikut saiz dan keadaan kewangan sesebuah syarikat. syarikat yang besar dan maju mampu memberi gaji sedemikian pada pekerja tapi bagaimana pula keadaanya jika syarikat kecil dan mempunyai masalah kewangan.tidak seperti kerajaan yang mempunyai pelbagai sumber kewangan. saya risau jika tiadanya panduan yang kondusif akan tambah melemahkan sektor swasta kita yang baru berkembang. komen saya ini bukan untuk membela majikan semata-mata, tapi jika keadaan ini membebankan majikan, pekerja akan  kena tempiasnya malah lebih teruk. keadaan seperti pengurangan pekerja akan berlaku jika pihak majikan tidak mampu membayar gaji tersebut maka pengangguran akan berlaku. kerajaan tidak boleh menghalang pihak swasta untuk mengurangkan pekerja demi untuk memenuhi kenaikan gaji ini kerana kerajaan tidak menyumbang sumber kewangan swasta. malas mahu mengomen panjang, kenaikan gaji ni ada pro dan kontranya, tapi biarlah ianya dilaksanakan dengan mengambil kira perbezaan sektor2 perniagaan yang wujud di negara kita.wassalam

    • Saya pun nak keja gomen gak…kerja di sektor swasta dengan sektor kerajaan JURANG nya sangat JAUH…….antara langit dan bumi…saya kerja 15 tahun di sektor swasta berkelulusan diploma..berpangkat juruteknik kanan di sebuah syarikat terkenal…gaji pokok saya RM.2500….tetapi guru sekolah rendah yang berkhidmad selama 8 tahun berkelulusan diploma gred DGA38 bergaji RM.4792.19…sama dengan gaji manager saya….Adakah ini jurang yang dicipta oleh kerajaan untuk menindas golongan seperti kami…CUBA  fikirkan kesan keatas golongan seperti kami….dan   golongan yang lain….CUBALAH BERPEGANG KEPADA PRINSIP 1 MALAYSIA…1 EKONOMI DIKONGSI BERSAMA…BUKANNYA SATU PIHAK SAHAJA YANG MERASA…BERSIFAT AMANAH LAH…ADIL DALAM KEPUTUSAN…SESUNGUHNYA ALLAH BERSAMA MEREKA YANG ADIL DAN SAKSAMA…AMIN…

    Debat PTPTN: Dari Mana RM237 Billion Ini Datang?

    May 24th, 2012

    PENULIS tergerak untuk membangkitkan persoalan ini setelah mendapati ia menjadi tajuk perbincangan hangat di media sosial dan Internet sekarang.  Ia berhubung kait dengan sesi Debat PTPTN antara Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaludin dengan Pengarah Strategik PKR, Rafizi Ramli.

    Ia menarik perhatian penulis kerana dari banyak perkara yang dibincang antara kedua pemimpin muda tersebut, kenapa soal ini pula yang menjadi benchmark siapa yang menang dan siapa yang kalah dalam debat itu.

    Lagipun seperti yang biasa disebutkan, laman ini berpaksi kepada kebenaran, bukan kepada polemik politik yang tidak berkesudahan seperti mana yang dimahukan ramai orang.

    Baiklah.

    Seperti yang penulis katakan semalam, Rafizi gagal menjelaskan kepada rakyat bagaimana Pakatan Rakyat boleh menjayakan janji untuk memberi pendidikan percuma dan penghapusan hutang PTPTN.  Sumber memaklumkan penulis, semua maklumat telah diberikan kepada Rafizi tapi di saat -saat akhir Rafizi memilih untuk tidak mendedahkan maklumat tersebut atas alasan yang kurang dipastikan kenapa.

    Sebaliknya Rafizi memilih untuk mempertikaikan soal berapa banyak peruntukan pendidikan hasil dari ‘sumbangan RM237 Billion’ oleh Petronas kepada kerajaan Malaysia sepanjang tempoh bapa mertua Khairy, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menjadi Perdana Menteri (2003 -2009).

    Sebelum berbicara panjang, penulis suka nak menyatakan disini bahawa dari kajian penulis, jumlah RM237 billion ini tidak dinyatakan dimana-mana sebagai sumbangan Petronas kepada kerajaan sepanjang tempoh Abdullah menjadi Perdana Menteri.

    Paling dekat ialah sumber dari blog mantan Perdana Menteri, Tun Mahathir Mohamad yang menyebut Petronas telah menyumbang sebanyak RM 270 billion (sebelum cukai atau selepas cukai, penulis tidak pasti) kepada kerajaan sepanjang tempoh pemerintahan Abdullah, dan projek apa yang telah dibiayai dari hasil wang ini?

    Sumber boleh rujuk disini.

    Kita tahu Rafizi adalah bekas kakitangan Petronas tapi Mahathir adalah Penasihat Petronas.  Kalau diberi antara 2 pilihan maklumat siapa yang perlu lebih dipercayai, sudah tentu penulis memilih Mahathir.

    Soal siapa Mahathir dan kekejamannya ke atas Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, itu adalah perkara berbeza. Yang dibangkitkan sekarang ialah maklumat tentang sumbangan Petronas kepada kerajaan sepanjang tempoh Abdullah sebagai Perdana Menteri.

    Lagipun, tindakan Rafizi membuat perbandingan ini adalah hampir sama dengan tindakan Mahathir pada 2010, cuma tidak mengkhusus kepada pendidikan seperti yang dilakukan Rafizi dalam debat tersebut.

    Balik pada soal RM 237 billion ini tadi.

    Dari mana angka ini datang?  Graf dibawah menunjukkan jumlah sumbangan Petronas kepada kerajaan sepanjang tempoh perkhidmatan Abdullah sebagai Perdana Menteri (2004-2008).  Yang mana kalau pembaca boleh mengira, jumlahnya hanyalah sebanyak RM202.8 billion!!  Katakanlah plus minus 10% pun, masih jauh dari angka yang diberikan Rafizi.

    Honolulu is worst US city for traffic gridlock

    May 24th, 2012

    That dubious honor goes to .. Honolulu.

     

    Commuters in the Hawaiian paradise capital spent some 58 hours not moving in their cars last year, said the study which nevertheless put LA in second place, with San Francisco and New York not far behind in the traffic nightmare stakes.

     

    Overall there was at least some good news: traffic congestion was down by 30 per cent overall in America, according to the fifth Annual INRIX Traffic Scorecard.

     

    Traffic congestion was down not only in the United States.

     

    “The declines in traffic congestion across the US and Europe are indicative of stalled economies worldwide,” said INRIX boss Bryan Mistele.

     

    “In America, the economic recovery on Wall Street has not arrived on Main Street. Americans are driving less and spending less fueled by gas prices and a largely jobless recovery,” he added.

     

    But in the top 10 US cities for traffic chaos, drivers spent an average 40 hours last year not moving, peaking at 60 hours annually on the nation’s most gridlocked roads.

     

    In what might surprise some, the Pacific island state of Hawaii — think palm trees, white sands, huge rolling surf — is actually home to some of the worst gridlock in America.

     

    LA was second with motorists idling for 56 hours, followed by San Francisco on 48 hours. The rest of the top 10 were: New York; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Washington, DC; Seattle; Austin, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; and Chicago.

     

    The study also listed the top 10 worst traffic corridors, or stretches of gridlocked highway.

     

    Top horror gridlock prize went to a 13-mile stretch of the San Diego Freeway in Los Angeles, followed by a 16-mile stretch of the Long Island Expressway in the New York suburbs.

     

    The rest of the top 10 went to: Los Angeles; New York; Los Angeles; New York, Los Angeles; New York; with Pittsburgh sneaking into 9th place and San Francisco rounding out the traffic big leaguers.

     

    The overall drop in congestion followed modest increases in 2009 (one per cent) and 2010 (10 per cent). The last similar decline was in 2008, the year of the financial crash, when traffic congestion plummeted 34 per cent.

    Syria admits sanctions hurting

    The rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) meanwhile denied it was behind the abduction of Lebanese Shiite pilgrims, an incident stoking tensions in neighbouring Lebanon which is divided between pro- and anti-Damascus camps.

     

    There was no word on any Rastan casualties, but the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 15 people were killed nationwide, including seven troops shot dead at Qalamun in Damascus province as they tried to defect.

     

    As the violence continued to rage, Russia, one of Syria‘s few allies, offered to host direct talks between the Damascus regime and rebel representatives, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said.

     

    Soldiers were trying to overrun Rastan for the second time in 10 days, with shells crashing into the town at the rate of one a minute at one stage, according to the Britain-based Observatory.

     

    An activist said FSA fighters were defending Rastan’s entrances but that regime forces are being strengthened with new deployments, including from the elite Republican Guard.

     

    “Electricity has been cut off in Rastan, and water tanks have been shelled,” Abu Rawan told AFP. “There is also a severe lack of food because the market is closed and we can’t bring food in from nearby villages.”

     

    Hours later, the activist said the army assault eased when a team of UN observers entered Rastan.

     

    On May 14, 23 soldiers were killed in a failed assault on Rastan, a town straddling the main highway linking Damascus to the north and where rebels regrouped from the battered city of Homs.

     

    Elsewhere, troops fired on protesters in Aleppo in the north as about 1,500 people rallied against the regime, triggering armed clashes, said the Observatory.

     

    Activists said lawyers and sympathisers with the revolt staged a sit-in at Aleppo’s judicial complex to demand the release of political prisoners, and to pay tribute to four students killed at a May 3 rally in the city.

     

    The uprising against President Bashar al-Assad broke out with peaceful democracy protests in March 2011, prompting a fierce crackdown that spawned an increasingly militant response.

     

    More than 12,600 people have been killed, nearly 1,500 of them since a UN-backed truce took effect April 12, according to the Observatory.

     

    The bloodshed has persisted despite the ceasefire brokered by UN and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, as well as previous diplomatic measures including several rounds of sanctions against Assad’s regime.

     

    The violence took a broader turn in the region as Lebanon’s state news agency said Syrian rebels kidnapped 13 Shiites as they were headed home to Lebanon by bus from a pilgrimage in Iran.

     

    Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansur said the pilgrims were abducted by a splinter group of the armed Syrian opposition, but that he expected their release within hours.

     

    The FSA denied involvement.

     

    The opposition Syrian National Council, whose leader Burhan Ghalioun formally resigned from his post Wednesday, also issued a call for the pilgrims’ release, adding it too believed the regime could be involved in the kidnapping.

     

    Ghalioun had announced plans to resign on May 17 to avert divisions within the opposition bloc, after activists on the ground accused him of monopolising power.

     

    Oil Minister Sufian Allaw admitted on Wednesday that punitive measures imposed by the West have cost Syria almost $4.0 billion (3.2 billion euros) and caused shortages in fuel products.

     

    “The oil sector has lost almost $4 billion because of the unjust European and US sanctions, blocking exports and imports of oil and oil derivatives,” he told a news conference.

     

    The minister acknowledged new difficulties in meeting Syria‘s energy needs, especially for domestic gas, blaming measures taken by the United States and the European Union.

     

    Speculation was also rife Wednesday among anti-regime activists over the alleged killing of Assad’s brother-in-law Assef Shawkat, who is also Syria‘s deputy defence minister.

     

    Shawkat, former head of military intelligence, was poisoned, according to anti-regime activists. The authorities have not responded publicly to the claim.

     

    Amnesty International said Thursday the Syrian government may have committed crimes against humanity by using lethal force and torturing detainees in its crackdown.

     

    And Google announced that its mapping software and other products would be available in Syria after getting export approval by the US government, citing the right to free expression.

     

    Over the past 14 months of unrest, pro-democracy protesters have used social networking sites to whip up support and the government has also resorted to the Internet to strike back.

    Asia's casinos fight world's best cheats

    An Asian syndicate used an improvised camera hidden up a member’s sleeve to film the sequence of cards in a deck as it was cut on a baccarat table in Paranaque City last May.

     

    The order of the cards was relayed digitally to another gang member who, after analysing the footage in slow-motion, returned to the table as the deck finally came into play hours later.

     

    Piacente, a 47-year-old from Brooklyn, said the multi-million-dollar cutter scam showed that as long as Asian casinos were the most lucrative in the world, they would attract the most skilful cheats.

     

    “The scams that happen here (in Asia) are a lot more sophisticated than in the States,” he told AFP at the Global Gaming Expo Asia in Macau, a southern Chinese city that generates five times the annual gambling revenue of Las Vegas.

     

    “What was happening here in Macau five years ago, is happening in the States now.”

     

    Asia is in the midst of a casino building boom, fuelled by wealthy VIP gamblers from mainland China, with billions of dollars being invested in huge integrated casino resorts from Macau to Manila Bay and Singapore.

     

    The new properties bristle with cutting-edge surveillance technology, but the cheats are coming up with their own high-tech innovations, such as the sleeve-camera used in the Philippines.

     

    “If you go to a place like this in Macau, where the surveillance is a lot better trained, then the cheats have to be more sophisticated,” Piacente said on the expo floor at the glittering Venetian Macau resort.

     

    Most of the exhibitors at Asia’s largest casino expo, which was ending Thursday, showed off the latest slot machines or video gambling innovations, but Piacente’s booth consisted of himself, a baccarat table and a bag of tricks.

     

    Loaded dice, split chips and reflective gold rings are some of the more traditional tools of the cheater’s trade, which Piacente, president of UniverSal Game Protection, demonstrates with a magician’s flare.

     

    He is also a master of sleight of hand — false shuffles, second deals, card palming — and can memorise a deck of cards instantly from sight.

     

    He has worked a lifetime to perfect his skills, but tells his clients in the gaming world that the real cheats will be smarter, faster and better — especially in Asia where so much more money is at stake.

     

    “I sit at home and practise thousands of moves for hundreds of hours. They’re at home practising one move for thousands of hours. They do that one move better than I could possibly imagine,” he said.

     

    “An amateur practises until he gets it right; a professional practises until he can’t get it wrong.”

     

    It is a constant battle.

     

    Hoffman Ma, deputy chairman of Success Universe Group, which owns the Ponte 16 casino in Macau, said US anti-fraud system manufacturers were tailoring their latest products for Asian casinos.

     

    “We do probably have one of the most advanced systems,” he said. “Technology helps you to be more efficient… and with the huge traffic (of casino gamblers in Macau) you really need that assistance,” he said.

     

    Nevada casinos, in contrast, were hit hard by the 2008 financial crisis and are struggling to keep up with surveillance technology, experts said.

     

    “I hate to say it’s archaic,” said Douglas Florence, business development director at Canadian security camera company Avigilon, adding that many Las Vegas casinos still relied on grainy video stored on VHS tapes.

     

    “Asia has been digital almost since day one because everything is new.”

     

    Avigilon has partnered with South African company Cheeteye, which offers casinos software that scours data from multiple sources to identify suspicious behaviour patterns, such as increases in a certain player’s average wager.

     

    Cheeteye representative Graeme Powell said the company’s revenues had doubled in the past two years as casino managers, particularly young, tech-savvy ones, adopted the system.

     

    As for the Paranaque City cutter scam, several suspects have been arrested while the alleged ringleader, Singaporean lawyer Loo Choon Beng, was reportedly found dead in a Chinese hotel room in August last year.

    Long-term contraception more effective

    Among young women under 21 who chose the pill, the patch or vaginal ring, the risk of unintended pregnancy is almost twice as high as that for older women, according to researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

     

    The study, carried out on 7,500 participants between the ages of 14 and 45, appears in the May 24 New England Journal of Medicine.

     

    “This study is the best evidence we have that long-acting reversible methods are far superior to the birth control pill, patch and ring,” says senior author and OBGYN Jeffrey Peipert.

     

    Intrauterine devices and implants are more effective because women can forget about them after clinicians put the devices in place.

     

    Unplanned pregnancies remain a major health problem in the United States. About three million pregnancies per year — half of all pregnancies — are unplanned, very high for a developed nation.

     

    “We know that IUDs and implants have very low failure rates of less than one per cent,” said lead author Brooke Winner.

     

    “But although IUDs are very effective and have been proven safe in women and adolescents, they only are chosen by 5.5 per cent of women in the United States who use contraception.”

     

    IUDs are inserted by a nurse or doctor, but few women can easily afford them as the cost can reach around $500.

     

    However when IUDs and implants are provided at no cost, about 75 per cent of women chose these methods for birth control, Winner added.

     

    That means that greater use of longer acting contraceptive methods by teens and young women could prevent substantially more unplanned pregnancies.

    Legally right, morally wrong

    When I wrote about former Solicitor-General Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden’s decision to join Anwar’s defence team I never mentioned that it was legally wrong for him to do so. I am looking at it from moral point of view not legal point of view. The Bar Council was quick in defending him.

    An apology to Datuk Bandar, an appeal to PM

    An apology to Datuk Bandar, an appeal to PM

     

     

    Hence I would like to appeal to the Prime Minister to make sure that the Dataran Merdeka is not used for any events at all – even National Events like the Merdeka Parade. KL has become a crowded and congested city. The City Centre especially the Dataran Merdeka, is just not the place for any type of public event anymore. Please go to Bukit Jalil (where actually I live), Putrajaya or some stadium where there are few or no shops, shopping complexes and other businesses to disrupt.

     

    I would also like to apologise to the Datuk Bandar of Kuala Lumpur Tan Sri Ahmad Fuad Ismail who is frequently placed in a very difficult position. My own investigations have revealed that frequently the Datuk Bandar is ignored or pushed aside by the various Ministers who have their own agendas.  Hence bicycle races are held in the City Centre because some politician or Minister has links to the organisers behind the bicycle race.

    MP says petty traders are a nuisance

    I am sure they are. A terrible nuisance especially when you live in Bukit Damansara. That’s not a busy neighbourhood. So, you can just imagine hordes of people outside your gate — and their main aim is to be a nuisance.

     

    They say they have a good legitimate reason to be doing what they’re doing outside (Bersih chairman) S Ambiga’s residence.


    They’ve called themselves the KL Petty Traders Action Council  whose members’ livelihood on April 28 was affected by the Bersih rally.

     

    Making a statement there. Like you kacau kita, kita kacau you. So, deal with it.

    A love-hate relationship?

    A love-hate relationship?

    KUALA LUMPUR: Pas’ move to impose conditions for the muzakarah (Muslim unity talks) with Umno is baffling to most, giving rise to suspicions that it is done so as to appease the DAP.

     

    The suspicions is based on the fact that Pas had been seen to be subservient to the DAP and this can be traced all the way back to the days when the Barisan Alternatif (BA) was incepted.

     

    Political observers said the “subservience” is becoming more telling of late when Pas has backtracked on several subjects which it had fought for vehemently before.

     

    Another pointed out that the “seeds of the backtracking” can be traced when Pas joined the BA in 1999 as evidenced in a Bernama news report dated 10 Oct. 1999 which quoted its Mursyidul A’am (spiritual leader) Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat as saying: “PAS has agreed to drop the idea of establishing an Islamic country in the joint-manifesto with other parties in the coallition (Keadilan, DAP and Parti Rakyat Malaysia), as we want to approach non-Muslim people“.

     

    The compromise shown by PAS towards its partners in BA and subsequently the Pakatan Rakyat is questionable and unfair if compared with the unreasonable conditions it imposed for a muzakarah with Umno is to be realised, said Umno veteran Tan Sri Sabaruddin Chik.

     

    The former Umno secretary-general said PAS had been inconsistent and incapable of making its own decision ever since it joined the BA.

     

    “Probably, Pas was warned by its counterparts for wanting to hold a muzakarah with Umno so much so that Pas had to come up with the condition that Umno must accept Pas alongside with PKR and DAP, if the muzakarah is to take place.

     

    “Why would Umno want to accept that unreasonable condition? It was Pas that proposed the muzakarah and when Umno agrees, Pas then came up with all these conditions,” Sabaruddin said when contacted by The Mole.

     

    Sabaruddin said Pas’ inconsistence over the issue will not only tarnish its image but will also lead to the non-Malays to lose regards for the Malay Muslim community.


    A lecturer on political science Md Shukri Shuib said it was clear Pas did not embrace the real spirit muzakarah as to the party, the muzakarah is meant to be a tool for political mileage.

     

    “Pas should not be upset if people becomes more sceptical about the party as what it has done is to merely use Malay unity for its political survival.


    Md Shukri who is a lecturer as University Utara Malaysia’s (UUM) School of Politics and International Studies,  said Pas’ attitude is not only perceived as making a mockery of Malay unity, but it further proves its political greed.

     

    Nik Aziz’s recent pronouncement that Pas is willing to hold a muzakarah with Umno surprised many especially when its is public knowledge that he holds a strong anti-Umno stance.

     

    When he announced it, Nik Aziz did not mention any conditions but subsequently decided to come up with three conditions for Umno to fulfil; that the muzarakah must be held before the general election; Umno must make Islamic as the basis of national policies; and Umno must accept PKR and DAP.
