Don't Challenge Us!

Yesterday, over 10,000 turned-up for the Hindraf Rally. PM Abdullah said those who have been organising street demonstrations seemed to be testing the Government's patience.

And below are some pictures of "Another group of Men" being challenged by some opponents to show their true color as MAN!

Manyak-Manyak Malu leh!

You got to read this:

Malaysia uses plagiarist's blog to claim Pedra Branca at ICJ?


In higher learning Institution, we warn our students the danger of plagiarism, and warned them of risking their assignment downgrade to zero mark. "Plagiarism is unethical," we told them..

But, here you have a country using plagiarised photograph to support their claim of Pulau Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca) at International Court of Justice (ICJ)!

Macam mana-lah? Now tell me how to tell my students? Manyak-manyak memalukan-leh!!
Mana boleh lah! "Downgrade their mark to zero, Sir! " I can almost hear my students whispering at my ear...

Sedih, sedih....the whole world see this...this time really paiseh liao!

Which Car is Environmental-Friendly?


Read the following report published in The Economist.com

In the European Union, they have impose mandatory limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from cars. They had proposed that average emissions across each company's range of vehicles is no more than 130g of carbon dioxide per km by 2012. A study by the European Federation of Transport and Environment, a campaign group, shows just how far short many carmakers are of this contentious target. In 2006 average emissions by all makers selling over 200,000 cars in the EU exceeded the target. Some are even pumping out more carbon dioxide than they did in 2005.


At the top (no. 1) is Peugeot-Citroen, with the lowest emission of 144g carbon dioxide per km, followed by Fiat (144g), Renault (147g), Toyota (153g), Honda (154g) in the year 2006. Consider these cars when buying new cars. Looking at the name, you should either go for Honda or Toyota lah! Because the other names are too-Europe!

DaimlerChrysler, the manufacturer of Mercedes Benz has the highest emission at 188g/km, followed by BMW (184g) and Mazda (173g). So, stop thinking of having these Cars in your dream! No good for the mother earth!

A..wait, Were is Proton? Not in the league meh? Oh! I forgot...they just said that they can survive on their own...They need no foreign partner now, their persona doing very well oh! Merdeka for now? But, can sustain kah?

未來不是夢,職場目標從「五年規劃」開始...

Recently, there are quite a number of my students graduated from College/Universities and become a freshmen in the Society. Some of them have embarked on a new job, some of them are still looking for one. And most of the time, I heard them saying: I don't like this job; I can't see the future in this job; My skill and qualification doesn't match the job and etc.

Here is an article I believe will help the current students to plan ahead and be prepared before embarking on the job.

「五年後我的人生如何發展」?如果在學的學生能掌握這觀念, 就不會慌張,反而能給自己更多的時間去準備職場人生。

不久前,我遇到一位國貿系畢業的學生,一畢業就進貿易公司,她以為在那裡會接觸到很多的人,沒想到,整天都在處理行政瑣碎的工作,開始不想去上班。

在跟我的訪談裡,她回憶,自己在大學社團活躍,從小就是喜歡跟人相處,卻沒想過職業對她的影響是什麼。

她漸漸發現,在貿易公司的工作就是接訂單、打訂單。戲劇化的事來了,有一天,她打卡下班後去看海,她問自己,「要這樣過一輩子嗎?」那時候薪水很不錯了,但她卻找到另一家公司的人資管理部門的助理,薪水比原來的少一萬,但她徹底了解她喜歡什麼。

其實,今天的年輕人不是找不到工作,大部份在職場工作兩、三年的職場新鮮人關心的,其實是,「五年後我的人生如何發展」?

如果在學的學生能掌握這觀念,就不會慌張,反而能給自己更多的時間去準備職場人生。

在學生階段很重要的是,認識自己、認識職場、認識世界。

認識自己是從小開始累積的,對自己多些了解,比較容易找到方向感,那不是說就確定職業,而是了解性向與感到成就感的方向。

我們對人有興趣,有可能做人資、業務,但你要這種人去做文書與行政就可能痛苦。職涯輔導是慢慢收束、慢慢聚焦。

有了方向感,你才能做計劃,你才能應變,因為你知道主軸在哪裡,至少不會那麼慌亂,你有一個核心,然後慢慢修正。

我們設想一位大學生一直沒做這準備,跟大家玩或無目標的打工,如果沒有家世背景,五年後,能突破天花板嗎?兩個同樣沒有背景、學歷相當的人,在職 場上如何分出高下?其實就是看你有沒有其它能證明你的能力、有沒有把握機會實習、有沒有曾經因為你有所規劃,在科系外,修過其它科目或學程,這差別就出 來。

有了收束的工作類型選項,再回頭盤點在學的自己,有哪些缺乏的能力,有哪些努力的空間。

今日學生缺乏的能力

有些能力是學生比較缺乏的,因為我們的教育沒有配合未來競爭邏輯快速修正。

第一,表達能力變得前所未有的重要。以前生產線的時代、操作機器設備的時代,哪需要表達能力;但現在任何工作都要求表達,因為工作環境經常面對不 可知的情況;像以前的工程師很安靜,但現在的工程師不能沈默,當製造業服務化、客製化的時代,即使是工程師,也要隨時用視訊解決外國客戶的問題、面對國際 性的貿易與管理,但教育沒有給足這訓練。  

表達能力如何訓練?從寫報告、做科展、寫日記、寫週記、上台報告都是很好的訓練。

第二,企劃的能力。未來的職場會期待積極表現的個人,即便很基層的人都被鼓勵表現自己,每個人都可以完成一項專案,策畫活動、提案的能力變得很重要。

第三,開會的能力。職場上愈來愈重視團隊合作,合作必定需要大量的溝通與小組討論。

從小到大,大家都開過班會,但是,兩個人在一起怎麼討論,四個人怎麼討論,都是訓練,這些是英美在教育改革時很重視的。

一項針對美國企業主所做的最新調查顯示,企業主認為最重要的四項能力與態度,分別是:溝通能力(包括口頭及書面)、誠實與正直、團隊合作技能、人際相處能力。

但最後必須提醒的是,各國研究都指出智慧跟才能外,努力、堅持才會讓人成功。成功沒有捷徑。

Royal Commission To Be Set Up To Probe Controversial Video Clip

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 (Bernama) -- A royal commission will be set up to investigate a video clip featuring a purported telephone conversation between a prominent lawyer and a senior judge over the appointment of judges.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the establishment of the panel was deemed appropriate based on the report by a three-man panel set up to determine the authenticity of the video clip recently.

"We've agreed to set up the commission. Now we're deciding on the terms of reference, the tasks to be undertaken by the commission," he told reporters after calling on Uruguayan President Dr Tabare Vasquez and his wife, Maria Auxiliadora Delgado de Vasquez, who are making a five-day visit to Malaysia, here today.

Abdullah said the three ministers who were tasked by the cabinet to give legal input on the report by the three-man independent panel would give their views and suggestions at the weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

The prime minister said the members of the royal commission would be determined after its terms of reference were finalised.

Asked whether the government was pressured into establishing the commission by certain groups, Abdullah reiterated that the decision was based on the report submitted by the special panel.

"Before this we said that please wait for the panel to come up with its report. The report is out and based on its contents, it appears that it is appropriate to set up the royal commission, hence our decision," he said.

The special panel comprised former Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Haidar Mohd Noor, social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye and former Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mahadev Shankar.

The three ministers asked to give legal input on the panel's report are Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz and Home Minister Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad.

And Heart2Heart say: "Correct...ya..correct, ya correct!" "Yes! Yes! Correct...Yes! Correct...Yes!"

Was it due to Bersih? or was it due to Sultan's disquiet? Or maybe the general election is round the corner...

Anyway, this will be the right move to "bersihkan" the judiciary system in my beloved country...Malaysia, tanahairku...
