Turkish Islamic clothing & fashion! What do you think of them? 2007-06-17 01:22:00 Today’s poll topic should be of great interest to Malay Malaysian women. Majority of Malay Malaysian women here today actually go for contemporary fashion which is modern but yet not too shocking. Hence, it is to no surprise that a lot of the local fashion houses and boutiques especially those in the vicinity of Jalan Tun Abdul Rahman in KL are stocked with clothing and apparels imported from the Middle East. Some of you may all ready knew that some of the clothing and apparels that you are wearing originates from Turkey. Turkish
hijabs (over here you call them ‘tudung’), Jilbabs, Kaftans and Under-Scarf are very popular here. We have included a video on Turkish’s latest fashion trends right down below. We are sure that you would notice that Turkish fashion is extremely colourful! Colors that are bold and brilliant are definitely the choice of Turkish women. Here in Malaysia though, women are not too Read more:Islamic

Acne! Would you prefer to prevent them or treat them? 2007-06-17 01:18:00 We all knew what acne is all about, so let’s not waste too much time discussing them. We would like to bring your attention on something that we find weird with regards to acne (jerawat) and would like to hear your opinion on it later. Basically there are just too many books, journals and articles on acne. Most of them are talking about the same thing over and over again for God knows how many generations. Hence, it is not surprising that anybody down the street could tell you in great details what causes or triggers acne. Let us skip all the teeny weenie details out of the picture and we should come out with the following 8 major causes or triggers of acne: Hormonal activities such as menstrual cycles and pubertyStressHyperactive sebaceous glandsBacteria clogging skin poresAccumulation of dead skin cellsBacterial infection in the skin pores that causes allergySkin irritation Allergies We all knew that, aren’t we? The question that bothe Read more:Acne

Do you agree that Stress Management & Self Improvement programs are important for securing your job and career? 2007-06-17 01:04:00 Surveys conducted all over the world have concluded that there are at least 10 most popular reasons on why people would seriously consider quitting their jobs. Let’s take a closer look at the top 10 reasons today: The company that they are working for is hit by financial woes, losing customers and there are rumours of ramping down, closure or bankruptcy. Their professional and personal relationships with their bosses or superiors are damaged beyond repair. Their life situations have gone through some awkward changes such as marriage and parenting. Marriage and having a new member in the family (a baby) usually brings additional financial commitments that current salaries and benefits could no longer support. Their personal values are locking horns or at odds with their corporate culture. Bossy people would not feel comfortable in an office environment that practices openness and hier Read more:Management

STD or Sexually Transmitted Disease! Are you really aware of them? 2007-06-17 01:01:00 Today’s subject would not be popular for many Malaysians especially among the Malays. It has been widely regarded as a natural taboo to discuss sexual related issues openly here. However, Sahabatul Ventures would like to address this issue nonetheless since it has come to our attention that there are many men and women out there who have a very open social lives and some of them has no idea whatsoever about the problems that they may get themselves into if such knowledge is not known in the first place. This does not mean that we are cordoning such wild social lives as practiced by today’s men and women. As Moslems, we knew too well about what is right or wrong and this brief posting on STD or Sexually
Transmitted Disease is nothing but a decent effort to share knowledge with readers. Please do not view us as some folks who are trying to corrupt and stain our beloved Malay Malaysian community with controversial information. If
Skin whitening or skin lightening products! Would you use them? 2007-06-17 00:59:00 Skin whitening or skin lightening products are common and popular in Eastern Asian countries such as Malaysia. Skin whitening or skin lightening is actually a form of cosmetic methods and approach used to whiten or lighten the skin. In the US, such terms should be used carefully since it has created many controversial issues. Skin whitening or skin lightening products are more popular on women but there are a growing number of men who are conscious about their looks that took deep interest in using such products as well. Basically they are all using such products on common grounds. Most would use skin whitening or skin lightening products to lessen any visible pigmentation such as moles, birthmarks, scars caused by acne or vitiligo. Some would go for broke and use skin whitening or skin lightening products to lighten or whiten their existing complexions. Malay women for an example would try whatever their hands can get to achieve t
Current top plagiarism technique used by Malaysian undergraduate and post graduate students! As parents, would you be concerned? 2007-06-17 00:54:00 Today’s article is sensational! A few online friends of ours have disclosed that plagiarism has reached new heights here in Malaysia. In the past, plagiarism would be limited to copying materials from hardcopies or the internet. But now, Malaysian
plagiarists have relied upon a new method that if we look at it closely might not be legally wrong! I am not sure how and where they got this idea in the first place but it must have its origins somewhere from the internet somehow. Malaysian are known to be copycats, hence it is more likely that they copied this method from somebody else most probably from those outside of Malaysia. I’m sure that you are wondering what this hype is all about but believe me, I do have concerns of my own about disclosing this technique today. Today’s disclosure might create a tsunami wave of new plagiarists here in Malaysia and that is something that I personally feared dreadfully! However, I hope and Read more:Current

Internet Filtering or Web Parental Control! Would you use them to protect your kids? 2007-06-17 00:46:00 The internet is wonderful technology. It has indeed broken down many borders and anyone with access to the internet could practically get their hands on any types of information and knowledge anywhere in the world today. Unfortunately, not everything found on the internet is good and beneficial. Many are controversial and pose serious threats to any decent societies. Concerned parents have always been sceptical of the internet. While they did not dismiss the fact that the internet can provide information and knowledge at the tip of their fingers, they do worry about how the internet could affect their kids who are too young and naïve to differentiate what is right or wrong. Hence, most Malaysian parents took the easiest way out and opt for not having internet access at home. I personally view this as a bad decision made by Malaysian parents. By dismissing the internet from being used at home, Malaysian parents are actually closing Read more:Internet

Natural cure for acne! Would you give them a try? 2007-06-17 00:42:00 We have covered this story on acne before and we are not going to cover all the basics all over again. It is just that we had received feedbacks from readers of our last article that nowadays we have many readily made natural cures for acne available in both physical and online markets. Hence, we have decided to give this topic on acne another shot today but with a little bit of difference. Our last posting was more towards highlighting modern clinical products but today let’s take a look at what nature has provided. It is not surprisingly to see that most of the natural cures and treatments for acne actually have their origins from China and India. China is well known for their traditional Chinese medicines while India for their Ayurvedic medicinal herbs and spices. Sorry folks, there is no Malay traditional cure for acne that made it to the world yet. :( ‘Bedak sejuk’ is popular all right but so far it has yet to penet Read more:Natural
Mesothelioma! The cancer that Malaysians are not supposed to know? 2007-06-17 00:27:00 What we are about to share with you today is something that is dead serious but amazingly nobody knew about it here in Malaysia. It is widely believed by private medical practitioners here that the Malaysian Health Ministry is covering up any news or information with regards to Mesothelioma
from the knowledge of the public for some dark reasons. Our sources have confirmed that the number of Malaysians
secretly diagnosed with Mesothelioma is rising and it is high time that you would take this opportunity to learn more about this unknown type of cancer. What is Mesothelioma? Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that can be directly caused by previous and continuous exposure to asbestos. In this type of cancer, bad and malicious cells grew in numbers in the mesothelium. Mesothelium is a protective lining that protects most of our internal organs. Records have shown that Mesothelioma would normally attack the pleura, peritoneum or the peri
Date Rape! Sexual Related Crime! Do you agree that self defense is important to all women today? 2007-06-16 13:19:00 Last Wednesday June 13th, the whole nation (Malaysia) is once again shocked by another sexual related crime. It happened somewhere in Johor Baru and this time a 19 year old girl was raped by three men and best of all, her boyfriend who was also abducted by the group could do nothing to help his girl. We are called upon to write something on this since sexual related crime has becoming rampant here in Malaysia. Please do not assume that every sexual related crime that happened here would be covered in the news. The frightening truth is that there are more unreported cases of sexual related crimes than reported ones. The government would always deny this but our sources from NGOs especially those fighting for the rights and justice for women have all confirmed that it is true. Frankly speaking, we are not at all surprised! Almost all of the unreported cases of sexual related crimes here in Malaysia are in the form of date rape. Da Read more:Sexual
Painful menstruation or menstrual pain (masalah haid). Are you affected? 2007-06-16 13:03:00 In the medical world, it is known as dysmenorrhoea. Common women simply refer to them as cramps or painful menstruation. Men obviously found women in menstrual pain to be fascinating and at times irritating. Women should not bother too much about men’s views on this since they really have no idea what you are really going through. Maybe it is best that women would take the opportunity to explain to the other opposite sex what menstrual pain is all about. Tell them that painful menstruation is excruciating, it is a feeling of sharp intermittent aching pain felt in the pelvis or lower abdomen. Discuss it openly and they would understand sooner or later. Medical records have shown that menstrual pain affects approximately 50% of menstruation women and 10% from this 50 would be suffering in extreme pain for a number of days. It is one of the leading causes of lost time for women in workplaces and higher learning institutions. Men
LASIK! Would you be interested in trying? 2007-06-16 12:55:00 LASIK is an acronym for Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, a form of refractive laser eye surgery normally constructed by ophthalmologists to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. A lot people prefers LASIK than photorefractive keratectomy since LASIK requires lesser time in recovering and would not burden patients undergoing surgeries with any unbearable pain. LASIK is definitely the chosen alternative to wearing corrective glasses or contact lens by those who have lots of money to spare. Like any other type of surgical solutions, LASIK cannot run away from complications. Records have shown that most complications from LASIK surgeries would start to appear within 6 months after surgeries. The number of reported complications are not that alarming, only about 3% to 6%. Common reported complications are: Dry eyes Overcorrection or undercorrection (silap timing la)Visual acuity fluctuationSeeing halos or starbursts during night t
Hair Removal! Is it really necessary? 2007-06-16 12:47:00 To most women, having a lot of hair on their body is something they would not prefer to have. A lot of young women never did bother to give this hairy thing a big issue when they were single but they would soon change their mind when they are about to get married or when they are involved with someone. To most men, hairy women are a big turn off. A big no-no! Men have always considered women as the object of femininity and women with lots of hair on their body is not something they would consider as feminine. Men always prefers to have women with fair silky skins and women with bodily hair problems who knew this are willing to spend money on doing removals. There are a number of ways to remove hair from your body: Depilation is a form of removal that affects hairs above the surface of your skin. The most common type of depilation is of course shaving. It can be done at home fast and easy. Another option that is fast becoming pop Read more:Removal
The art of seduction! Do we need them? 2007-06-16 06:49:00 So, what is seduction
(godaan, menggoda) actually is? The subject in general refers to any acts of seducing (menggoda) men and women for a number of reasons and Sahabatul Ventures would dare not discuss this here. The situation has become very alarming nowadays and information on the subject can easily be searched from major search engines in the internet. Believe it or not, search keywords such as shown down below are getting popular and quite common today: Seduce men or womenSeduce married men or womenMen or women seduction tipsSeduce young men or women Thoughts of finding such information might never come across our Malaysian minds since we still treasures highly of our eastern values, cultures, beliefs and religions. That’s what we thought to believe in the first place. However, a major search engine recently revealed that Malaysians does secretly go looking for such information on the Web! Malaysians who did this would never admi
Online Dating Services! Are we ready for them? 2007-06-16 06:33:00 Online dating services are common in developed nations such as those in the US and Europe. Here in Malaysia, it is still yet to catch on but local social networking sites such as eKawan and VirtualFriends are confident that online dating services would be an instant hit soon!Online dating services are no different than social networking sites that Malaysians are familiar with such as MySpace and Friendster. The only difference is that online dating services are more inclined towards providing actual dating partners for their members. Getting dates can be either be through the normal way whereby members would go out and meet someplace. Online dating services would also give members the opportunity to conduct dates online. However, online dates do require the use of headphones and webcams. Such tools are required for the purpose of providing real time interactions between members of these online dating services.

Breast cancer. Check your level of awareness! 2007-06-16 06:01:00 Let’s talk about breast cancer today. In general, it is the fifth most common cause of cancer attributed death in the world. It is more common to women than men worldwide. The most prevalent type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, a form of inflammatory breast cancer that has been diagnosed in 65-90% of all reported breast cancers. Breast
cancer is indeed a major concern for modern women. Luckily, women can help themselves in early detection of some forms of breast cancer through an exercise known as BSE or Breast Self-Examination. It is important to keep note here that BSE IS NOT a good and reliable substitute for other recommended screening methods such as mammography. BSE is best if performed appropriately and regularly. It is reported that discovering 8 to 10 lumps when doing BSE is pretty normal. However, it is best to report any abnormalities straight to your personal doctor. It is also important to take note her Read more:Check

Maintaining your beauty and looks! How far would you go? 2007-06-16 05:05:00 Talk about beauty and everyone would associate such topics towards women. In reality, it affects both men and women. After all, one of the reasons why women are so fixed on looking after their beauty and looks are because of men! Isn’t that right? In developed nations, spending thousands of dollars and even millions on beauty therapies are common. Spa treatments, massages, manicures and pedicures treatments, brow and lash treatments and hair removals have become absolute necessities for women in those countries. Malaysian women in general are still very much laid back and more than often rely on their natural beauties rather than applying layers of cheap cosmetics. However, there is a growing number of business and professional Malaysian women who are now turning to exclusive chains of beauty therapists for beauty consultations. Established beauty franchises such as Marie France and Mayfair are top favourites for this hip an Read more:Maintaining
Acne! What is your level of acceptance on them? 2007-06-16 04:55:00 Imagine this scenario. You have a hot date with your boyfriend tomorrow. But today, you woke up in the morning and found yourself in the mirror with big pimples (jerawat) on your lovely face! Some of you might scream in horror and some might just accept them as normal. Whatever it is, acne or pimples are definitely any girls worst nightmare and some may treat acne as one of their major hot date spoilers! Pimples are known in the medical world as Acne
vulgaris. It is actually an inflammatory skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units of our skin. It is common in teenagers reaching puberties but it can affect anyone up to the age of 40. There’s no way you can really control acne, it will come and go as it desires and that’s what makes them really irritating at times. Nobody is quite sure how and why some people get acne more often than others. It could be partly hereditary but several factors are Read more:level
Think twice before uploading any photos on Social Networking sites! 2007-06-19 08:10:00 In the last few years, I noticed that the number of Malay Malaysian ladies using Social
Networking sites has grown considerably. This can be seen in sites such as MySpace and Friendster. Just to prove my case, make a simple search for women originating from Malaysia from those two sites. You can see for yourself that the results would list thousands of Malay Malaysian women. As matter of fact, Malay Malaysian women may outnumber other ethnic Malaysian women by 100:1!I am not questioning anything in any way. They have the right to socialize and make friends with whoever they like. I only wish to share something that most of the Malay Malaysian ladies especially those that are young and naïve may not realize what they are getting themselves into by playing around with Social Networking sites. Mature and professional women might learn a thing or two here today as well.Malay Malaysian women that are members of any Social Networking sites must first understand that such sites are not only Read more:photos
Nationwide picket on the 25th of June 2007! Fight for minimum wage and COLA allowance for employees in the private sector! 2007-06-23 00:30:00 Malaysian Trade Union Congress would lead a nationwide picket demanding the ruling government of Malaysia to consider setting up a minimum wage policy of Malaysian Ringgit $900.00 and a standard COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) of a minimum of Malaysian Ringgit $300.00 for employees
in the private sector
. The picket is scheduled to take place in every major cities such as Kuala Lumpur (Jalan Raja Laut), Bangsar, Petaling Jaya, Bangi, Shah Alam, Klang, Johore, Kuching and Penang. Thousands of employees in the private sector are expected to throng these locations after signing off from work at 1700 hours this coming Monday 25th of June.Malaysian Malay women with high paying salaries and sitting inside nice comfortable office chairs may not be interested in joining the scheduled picket but I sincerely hope that they would somehow realize that a lot of Malaysians are suffering at the moment due to the ever rising costs of living.

Malay women and I hope that anyone reading this today would feed on whatever that I’m about to share here with an open mind.

Bekas Budak UKM has even listed down his concerns as shown down below: Some Malaysian Malay women wore short hijabs that did not really cover their ‘aurat’ fully. As matter of fact, their necks are exposed quite clearly.Some Malaysian Malay women wore hijabs along with their short tee shirts and some are even sleeveless exposing their arms and shoulders.

Watch out for those camera phones and digicams! 2007-06-21 13:55:00 I am not too comfortable about writing this in the first place. My worst fear is that this article would give the impression that I’m saying it is okay for Moslem Malaysian Malay ladies to go out dating with non-muhrim males. The issue that I’m about to share with the whole world today is actually highlighting the dangers and perils of dating or pre marital relationship. The best thing that I could hope to accomplish from this writing is that Moslem Malaysian Malay ladies would realize upon reading just how cruel this world can be to innocent and naïve women. This writing is more or less a follow up to my last article highlighting the dangers of uploading personal photos or pictures on Social Networking sites. Today, I’m going to give Malaysian Malay ladies especially another not so pleasant reality shock. The world today has seen many developments in technology but yet many are oblivious to the dangers that they might pose to our daily lives. Everybody today does a lot of s

Malay women (wanita Melayu) in the internet. Such discussions were actually discussed apparently by non-Malaysian Malays who have experience pre-marital sexual encounters with some Malaysian Malay women in the past. I really could not describe my feelings when I read through their comments in such discussions. My emotions ran wild definitely. I have anger, sadness and even disgust deep inside me. :(If you are curious to know what the world has been talking about our Malaysian Malay women with regards to this subject, the following links should give you an idea or two:SoulCast Dot ComKucingGatal Dot Blogspot Dot Com What had happened to our Malaysian Malay women?

MTUC Nationwide Picket – The Aftermath! 2007-06-26 14:24:00 Even though MTUC went ahead with the nationwide picket last Monday, the Malaysian public did not really join and support them in numbers! This is very sad indeed. Most Malaysians who are working in the private sector suffers dearly nowadays due to the insanely increasing costs of living but they do not want to take this opportunity to express their frustrations. :(What happened to Malaysians today, huh? Please do not chicken out on issues that matters such as this. Are you satisfied by just complaining about the hardship of life among friends and colleagues in coffee shops and mamak stalls (Indian restaurants)? Malaysians made a lot of noises all right but they do not have the guts to shout it all out to the rest of the world. :(What about you Malaysian Malay women, huh?

HarakahDaily Dot Net rocks! 2007-06-25 05:12:00 Today the current ruling government of Malaysia’s number one public enemy, HarakahDaily Dot Net has announced that they have their very own English news website on the internet. Wow! This would definitely sent tsunamis and shockwaves straight to the hearts of every politician and cronies of the Malaysian ruling government! Good job, HarakahDaily Dot Net! You would have my support anytime!To non-Malaysians, HarakahDaily Dot Net is Malaysia’s strongest and boldest mainstream political and social critique. They are run and managed by PAS, also happens to be Malaysia’s strongest political opposition party.

However with this new announcement, the whole world could now have access to hot and sensational Malaysian political and social news!

They are pissing in their pants and offering some sort of solutions! 2007-06-25 04:12:00 Kudos to MTUC! Their persistence in fighting for a minimum pay of Malaysian Ringgit $900.00 and a standard COLA (Cost of Living Allowance) for Malaysian workers in the private sector has finally gained the attention of the number one person in the Malaysian Human Resources Ministry today.According to the latest newsflash by TheStar Dot Com, Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn has decreed that the government is willing to sit down with MTUC and talk about setting up some sort of wage review councils by sectors as starters. MTUC’s decision to hold a nationwide picket scheduled at 1700 hours today has definitely caused some kind of unwanted commotions among politicians and Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn today has called upon MTUC to cancel the scheduled nationwide picket.Frankly speaking, I think that MTUC should go ahead with the scheduled nationwide picket.
