are. Enjoy.... By Zulkiple IbrahimKUALA LUMPUR, May 7 (Bernama) -- One evening during the fasting month last year, 46-year-old Noordin Sulaiman, felt some pain in the left side of his abdomen.Thinking that it was the time to answer nature's call, Noordin went to the toilet. What came out shocked the lorry driver. It was bucketfuls of blood.Noordin was immediately rushed to a public medical centre here where doctors told him that that his blood haemoglobin count had fallen to the dangerous level of 4.0 due to the massive blood loss.He was warded for two weeks and a series of tests was carried out including an endoscopy which proved to be inconclusive. Finally a computerised tomography (CT) scan was done but that too was inconclusive. Noordin had no history of gastric ulcers and doctors were baffled to the cause of the sudden intestinal bleeding. The diagnosis was
176 get-rich-quick schemes uncovered in Malaysia since 2005 2007-05-07 05:41:00 Comment: Some people will never learn... There is no short cuts to making money, there is only the hard way or just plain luck. Anyway, the operators of these schemes should be hung. I just cannot conceive the idea of making others part with their hard-earned money for a scam. KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 (Bernama) -- The Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry uncovered 176 cases of fraud involving the get-rich-quick schemes between 2005 and April this year.

Malaysian, Indian scientists to study ice core 2007-05-06 12:43:00 Comment: Finally something that makes sense. Instead of walking to the pole or jumping off an aircraft at the North Pole, this is something that will benefit Malaysian
s and the world ultimately.The Malaysian Government should encourage more of such studies instead of mindless exercises such making the longest, biggest or heaviest. These kind of studies will benefit humanity. By P.VijianNEW DELHI, May 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysian scientists
will soon work with their Indian counterparts to further understand climatic changes, especially the monsoon pattern which impacts both tropical nations.University of Malaya's geography department head Datuk Dr Azizan Abu Samah said Malaysia would collaborate with India's National Centre for Antarctica and Ocean Research (NCAOR) to jointly study the Himalayan ice core which could reveal the deep hidden history of how climate reacted over a certain period of time.The Himalayas - a sight to behold"We are discussing with the Indian centre (N
Bloggers classification mulled? 2007-05-05 13:20:00 Comment: Next they want bloggers to be licensed... My dear minister, don't you realise that the more you try to control, the more it gets out of control. What the government needs to do is to ensure that information is forthcoming, not suppressed. As for bloggers, it is the dawn of new era. The road to a new beginning is always fraught with obstacles. Eventually the people will know which bloggers are responsible and who is not. The blogosphere will self-regulate, without the need of authoritative interventions.KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said today Malaysia has to classify web bloggers as professionals and non-professionals as a mechanism to prevent misuse of blog sites.He said he believed that professional bloggers were those who were more responsible in ensuring that their web content was based on the truth and not rumours."This classification will also facilitate the action to be taken against those found to have violated the c
As usual, a little too much... 2007-05-04 12:54:00 Comment: Water water every where but Malaysians using more than needed. When the water runs out, the people only have themselves to blame. KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 (Bernama) -- An individual's basic biological need for water is between 20 and 100 litres a day but Malaysians are using as much as four times the average quantity needed, according to a consultant. Dr K. Kalithasan of the Global Environment Centre (GEC) said Malaysians were using between 184 and 500 litres daily.Much of the water is wasted for "businesses" in the toilet and bathroom, he told reporters after presenting a talk at a workshop on water conservation for 70 students, here.Kalithasan said the daily water usage per Malaysian was about 184 litres but in bigger towns and cities the usage could reach as high as 300 to 500 litres. He said Malaysians were generally living in a comfort zone where water scarcity was still not a huge issue."We only appreciate it (water) when crises arise," he said.The two-year national water co Read more:little

Leave Iraq and make amends, US told 2007-05-03 12:22:00 Comment: The oft repeated statement but always go unheeded. The world's policeman who won't listen and who always think they are right. Somehow, it appears strange that Americans soldiers killed in Iraq
died for reasons only known to the leaders. What's the point of occupying Iraq? Saddam is gone, the people "democratized" and situation is getting worse. Democracy at work? I don't think so... Just leave and let Iraq heals itself please. NUSA DUA (Bali), May 3 (Bernama) -- Malaysia wants the United States to leave Iraq and stop being the world's "policeman in all and every sense of the word", the 116th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting was told today.This was conveyed by Malaysian Member of Parliament Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar at the IPU's First Standing Committee on Peace and International Security.

Acknowledge bloggers, Malaysian Government urged 2007-05-03 06:21:00 Comment: Makes interesting reading. Especially when it comes from members of the Fourth Estate. Is there a really a necessity for bloggers
to be acknowledged by any governments? Judging from the impact that the Bloggers have made in Malaysia (some good, some just spreading ill-will), I should think acknowledgment is just semantics. Government
s know about citizen reporting already and they know how effective this particular tool can be but again, I might be wrong.KUALA LUMPUR, May 2 (Bernama) -- The National Union of Journalists Malaysia (NUJM) is urging the government to acknowledge the existence of internet citizen reporting and blogging as a new media for disseminating information.Its president, Norila Mohd Daud said this online phenomenon had made great impact in the country as an alternative information source on current issues affecting the public."The usage of internet and the concept of the uncensored borderless world have made information more easily accessible to anyone.

Malaysia to the US - Join us in a level playing field 2007-05-02 06:58:00 Comment: The United States has always preach more than do more. As Winston Churchill had eloquently put, it is better to jaw jaw than to war war. The Americans have brought this metaphor to a new level
- and to their advantage. By Mohd Nasir YusoffNUSA DUA (Bali), May 1 (Bernama) -- Malaysia
Tuesday asked the US to join Kyoto Protocol signatories to address global warming with a global agreement. It also urged developed countries not to take advantage of the issue to create unfavourable conditions for other countries.Datuk Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah, Head of the Malaysian Delegation to the 116th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting here, said if each country insisted on playing by its own rule, then there would be no tenable solution to the problem which was getting more serious by the day."Twenty-five countries have not signed the protocol. The US has signed but has no intention of ratifying it," he told some 1,400 parliamentarians from 126 countries attending the six
Malaysian medics in African UN Mission 2007-05-02 06:54:00 Comment: It will be tough for the medics
but my prayers are with them. I think the world has seen enough violence as it is. SEPANG, May 2 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian
Defence Forces are sending their third medical team for a United Nations (UN) mission in Western Sahara.A spokesman of the ATM Medical Division said the 20-member team from the Royal Medical Corps would serve under the UN banner for six months.The ATM despatched their first medical team to the area in May last year, replacing the one from South Korea who completed their 12-year mission from 1994.The medical mission is part of the United Nations Mission

Flight cancellation caused dwindling interest in world heritage? 2007-05-01 09:52:00 Comment: This can only happen in Malaysia. On one hand, the powers-to-be wants to have everything listed as world heritage this, world heritage that and world heritage whatever but unfortunately, the heritage they have now is neglected because of flight cancellations. Go figure... I thought world heritage would lose its popularity due to poor maintenance. This is the first time I am hearing flight cancellation is attributed to its declining popularity. From Linda Khoo Hui LeePHNOM PENH, May 1 (Bernama) -- The Tourism Ministry will embark on several promotional efforts to revive the popularity of the Mulu National Park in Sarawak.The national park, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is now facing the possibility of disappearing from the world tourism map due to flight cancellations and flight connection problems since Malaysia Airlines (MAS) stopped servicing the route from last Aug 1.Tourism Deputy Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said many tourists had omitted Mulu fro Read more:Flight

Myanmar destablising the Asean region? 2007-04-30 11:14:00 Coment: Some time, military junta just never learn. Why is the need to be oppressive? Apparently, Asean's kid glove approach is not working, may be it is time for the glove to come off? NUSA DUA (Bali), April 30 (Bernama) -- A seminar on Myanmar held on the sidelines of the 116th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting here had the delegates openly acknowledging that the Myanmar military junta's misrule had a negative spill-over effect on the region
and its stability.Speaker of the Indonesian Parliament Agung Laksono said that all parliamentarians had a genuine and unique role in encouraging the restoration of civil, political and democratic rights of the Burmese."It is very clear that our destinies as neighbouring countries are to seriously address Myanmar's deteriorating crises without delay," he was quoted as saying in a press release by the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Myanmar Caucus (AIPMC) today.The half-day seminar attended by about 60 parliamentarians was jointl
Malaysia to be World Book Capital City by 2010? 2007-04-29 04:23:00 Comment: Noble intentions but actions needed must be effective. For instance, it would be ideal to have more libraries, preferably in the rural areas. At one time, Malaysia
used to have mobile libraries but these are now far and few in between. The number of public libraries in the country? I think it is not enough.To start with, the reading culture needs to be inculcated amongst the youth. Instead now what we have are youth more inclined towards MTV and they dress the part too. Books? Only what they carry to school. If I recalled correctly, there was once a poll that established fact that the average Malaysian only reads two or three books a year? Could this be the advent of the Internet? Another fact that needs pondering is that instead of the traditional book, why don't the authorities make use of technology. E-books would be fun and theoretically cheaper. Furthermore, more can be put into an e-book to make it more attractive. KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- Mal Read more:World
Regional fairs to boost Malaysian tourism industry 2007-04-26 11:02:00 Comment: My bit for the Visit Malaysia Year 2007.

KUALA LUMPUR: April 25 (Bernama) The Tourism Ministry is considering organising a regional travel fair in an effort to garner 35 million tourist arrivals for Malaysia by 2010, Deputy Minister Datuk Donald Lim Siang Chai said Thursday.He said it was also timely to hold a regional travel fair as there were only four major travel events at the international level."Currently, we have the ICB (International Tourism Exchange of Berlin) in Germany, WCF (World Cultural Fair) in London, CITF (China International Tourism Fair) in China and ATM (Arabian Tourism Mart) in the Middle East. So, we think it is a wise decision to have such an event here," he told reporters after launching "The Greatest Tourism Carnival 07", here.Lim said many countries, mainly European nations, benefited through such fairs, at which they not only promoted their tourism Read more:industry

Malaysians should embark on Polar explorations? 2007-04-25 13:14:00 Comment: I'm at odds with this. On one hand, it is good that she had been to the two poles but the results? Just being the first Malaysian woman to be there. Fine. But then there were others (not Malaysians
) who were there before her. Ideally, the next exploration should be scientific-based, not just because of the two poles are there waiting to be conquered (which by the way is a misnomer since the two poles had been conquered many times over). Make it more meaningful and with basis. Just because it was there isn't a good enough excuse anymore. SEPANG, April 25 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's first woman to explore the Arctic and Antarctica regions, Datin Paduka Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir, wants young Malaysians to continue with her expedition to the North and South Poles."I want to challenge Malaysians regardless of age and gender.

Hope for Parkinson's disease sufferers? 2007-04-24 11:26:00 Comment: A refreshing look at how things can be done in Malaysia. Diseases thought able to elude treatment can now be treated. Kudos to the doctors at the University Hospital. But what needs to be answered is why treatment carried out at this teaching hospital is less than half of what is charged by private hospitals? Again this raises a question, don't the owners of private hospitals have compassion within them? O yes, Kota Baharu is the capital of a state in the eastern part of peninsula Malaysia. KOTA BAHARU, April 24 (Bernama) -- The Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM) in Kubang Kerian here has achieved a landmark when it successfully treated a long-suffering Parkinson

(PD) patient.The feat was achieved last March 21 when an electrode implant was placed in the brain of a 54 year-old patient, HUSM consultant neurologist Professor Madya Dr John Tharakan K.J. told a media conference here today. Retired Telekom Malaysia Berhad employee Che Idris Che Yusoff ha
Malaysians must disclose reasons for going abroad? 2007-04-23 13:15:00 Comment: Let's get one thing straight... The Government wants more tourists from abroad, why hassle the locals? Or is it just another way of wasting public funds? Who is going to tabulate the findings on the forms? What is there to prevent those filling it up (assuming it happens) from writing untruths? What then? A lie detector test? Get real...By MAZWIN NIK ANIS PUTRAJAYA: Millions of Malaysians
travel abroad and so the Tourism Ministry wants to know why they go overseas and what do they do there. So it has proposed that Malaysians fill in a special form when they leave the country. Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said that according to Immigration Department records, 15 million Malaysians travelled overseas last year and the figure was just about two million less than the number of tourist arrivals, totalling 17.5 million. “Since we currently do not require those leaving the country to fill up any forms, we do not know what Malaysians do overseas. “The

poverty but resources are instead manipulated by the unscrupulous. Talking about it is fine but more needs to be done. Punitive measures must be relooked at again and perhaps more sterner measures must be taken. In the end, it is the people that suffers, not the benevolent leaders.KUALA LUMPUR: Many Commonwealth countries, particularly in Africa, are riddled with corruption, robbing poor people of billions of dollars (euros) in public funds, the Commonwealth's chief said Monday. Don McKinnon, secretary-general of the group representing Britain and its 52 current and former territories, said eliminating graft would help 800 million people in the Commonwealth who currently live on less than US$1 dollar (euro0.75) each day. "The cancer of corruption is indeed a death sentence for a society that wants to grow,'' McKinnon said in a speech at a forum on transparency in Malaysia. "Corruption

Cremation not environmentally friendly? 2007-04-18 13:12:00 Comment: Tradition vis-a-vis environment? The arguments are sound, it may force us to rethink over how things are done in preparations for the afterlife. By Sakina MohamedMELBOURNE, April 18 (Bernama) -- You can still play a part in preventing global warming after you die - by not opting for your body to be cremated.Prof Roger Short of the University of Melbourne said the average Australian male produces over 50kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) during cremation as the body is heated to 850 degrees Celsius for an hour and a half.And that's not counting the carbon cost of the fuel and the cost of emissions involved in producing and burning the wooden coffin, he added."Think earth to earth, but not ashes to ashes or dust to dust," he said at the Fifth World Science Journalist Conference here, Wednesday.Short's idea came in the wake of China's policy of encouraging cremation due to lack of space and the Hindu practice in India of burning the body on a funeral pyre made with woo Read more:Cremation

NEW DELHI, May 8 (Bernama) -- One child in 5,000 is said to suffer from anorectal malformation, a birth defect where the anus and rectum are not properly developed, making the expelling of waste very painful and difficult.At the same time, one infant in 100,000 is reported to be born with common cloaca, a rare and complicated form of anorectal malformation, where children are born without proper vagina, urethra and anus.Some experts describe this malformation as a "medical mess" but paediatric surgeons at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) are confident of giving these children a new life, removing them from the clutches of agony and giving them hope to live a normal life.Surgeons take about six to 10 hours to reconstruct the vital organs of a child to enable them to pass urine a
