In memory Alistair R.G Morrison
Former Sarawak Information Director Dies
KUCHING, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Former Sarawak Information Services director Alistair R.G Morrison, who was credited as a crucial figure in the state's relatively smooth transition from colonial rule in the early 1960s, has died in Canberra, Australia, aged 94.
Former assistant state secretary Lim Kian Hock said today the Peking-born Morrison died of old age on Aug 4.
He said in a statement here that Morrison had been afflicted with a range of health problems in later years.
After his wife, Hedda, died in 1991, he proceeded to occupy himself in writing his memoirs, first of his time in Sarawak, entitled "Fair Land Sarawak", and then of his earlier life, "The Road in Peking" and "A Bird Fancier : A Journey to Peking".
Describing him as a "fine writer, whose wry sense of humor was never far from the surface," Lim said Morrison joined the British Colonial Service in 1947 and was sent to Sarawak just after it was acquired by Britain from the last Rajah, Sir Charles Vyner Brooke.
He served in several up-country posts as a district officer and wrote extensively for the Sarawak Gazette on future government policy towards Sarawak's indigenous groups.
Later he was transferred to the secretariat in Kuching and finally to the Government Information Office in late 1959.
"As an economist, his real interest was in rural development and he was disappointed not to be able to persevere in that challenging area.
On the other hand, he was to be a crucial figure in the relatively smooth transition from colonial rule in the early 1960s," Lim said.
He said the up-country postings had also given Hedda, a photographer by profession, the opportunity to take a superb series of photographs of the people of Sarawak before the effects of modernisation began to change their traditional way of life.
Her 1962 book, "Life in a Longhouse", remains a classic.
In early 1967, four years after Sarawak became part of the new federation of Malaysia, Morrison and Hedda moved to Canberra where he took up a senior position as head of the Southeast Asian branch of the Office of Current Intelligence under the Joint Intelligence Organisation before retiring in the mid-1970s.

Latest H1N1 news: More upcoming death.

Maybe they think that people who wear mask is for those who are suspected only of have cough of flu. But it is important to us to wear the mask when going to public places especially to a crowded places.
The latest news is a six-year-old child with Down's Syndrome and a hole in the heart is the latest of three deaths resulting from complications due to influenza A (H1N1).
In order to prevent the spread of the decease, the government release a new act which is under Section 12 (1) of the Infectious Diseases Control Act 1988, anyone who knows of a disease that can spread to the public and purposely ignore quarantine warnings and infect others will be fined RM2,000 or a maximum penalty of RM10,000 or two years of imprisonment or both.

More babies reported dead because of H1N1
Influenza A(H1N1): Premature baby among latest 5 fatal cases
KUALA LUMPUR, Sat (Bernama): A premature baby was among five who died from Influenza A(H1N1) between Aug 8 and 12, bringing the total number of deaths from the disease to 56.
Director-general of Health Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said in a statement today that one died on Aug 8, two on Aug 11 and other two on Aug 12. One of them was obese, one had diabetes, another had diabetes and tuberculosis, and the other two were babies.
He said the premature baby was born at 27 weeks and warded on Aug 3 for fever, cough, a cold and breathing difficulty. The baby was given anti-viral and other treatment but died on Aug 12.
The other baby, two months old, was admitted on Aug 7 as it was weak and pale although it was not having fever, cough or breathing difficulty. However, the baby was placed in the intensive-care unit (ICU) after its condition became critical and died on Aug 8.
Another two cases involved a 49-year-old obese woman who had diabetes and tuberculosis and a 57-year-old man who also had diabetes.
The woman was admitted to hospital on July 29 for fever, cough, sore throat and breathing difficulty. She was treated for pneumonia and discharged on Aug 3 but readmitted four days later for treatment of tuberculosis.
On Aug 8, she was given anti-viral treatment for suspected H1N1 infection but died three days later.
The other two fatal cases were a diabetic man who did not respond to treatment for fever and cough, and a 19-year-old youth who was tested positive for H1N1. They died on Aug 12.
Dr Mohd Ismail said while 70 per cent of fatal cases due to the disease had other health risks, 40 per cent delayed in seeking treatment while in 13 per cent, doctors failed to detect the infection early.
On the current H1N1 situation in the country, he said 72 people were still receiving treatment in the wards and another 27 in the ICUs, with 10 of them having chronic ailments while four were obese.
He said the viral transmission within the community was high, based on the number of people with symptoms going to the hospitals or clinics for treatment.
He advised those with influenza symptoms and had been treated without hospitalisation to take precaution by resting at home.
He said teachers and employers should conduct daily screening of their students/workers to ensure those with symptoms do not remain in class or at the workplace, while parents should not allow their children with influenza-like symptoms to attend class so as to curb the spread of the disease.

More people view about the "Chinese Herb"
As you can see, I got many hit about the “Health: Chinese herb and H1N1” (you can see the picture at the left). Maybe this is because people become more afraid with the deadly virus and aware about how to prevent and cure from the H1N1 that already hit all over the world. As I concern, the virus spread through air when person who are infected with the virus sneeze without closing his/her mouth. So people who are near to the infected with the virus can get the infected too.I accidentally got the article from our national newspaper (Bernama). The article very useful for those who want to try alternative medicine. I myself don’t how truth it is the article because I don’t try it myself. Maybe someday I try to take Chinese herb to prevent myself from getting infected.
http://lonelytribe85.blogspot.com/2009/07/health-chinese-herbs-and-h1n1.html
By the way, the death because of H1N1 keeps on rising from time to time. More and more people got infected and died because of the virus. But if you read from the news that had been reported; mostly baby, women, and man who had health problem are the one that are risky to being infected. So be careful when going outside from home especially when using public transport. Try not to go to crowd place such as shopping complex etc.
Last but not least, always use the mask when go to the public places to prevent our self to become the next victim of the deadly H1N1 virus.
Keep on rising
Seven More Deaths Today, A(H1N1) Death Toll Rises To 51
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Seven more deaths relating to Influenza A(H1N1) were confirmed on Thursday, bringing the death toll in the country to 51.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the seven deaths were from the high-risk group who had high blood pressure, heart disease, low imunity or congenital disease.
They were aged between four months and 92 years old.
"Currently, there are 51 cases in the wards, 29 in Intensive Care Units (ICU) and 16 out of the 29 in ICUs are from the high risk group," he told reporters after launching the Malaysian Association For The Study of Obesity (MASO) Conference here.
Liow said patients with influenza-like symptoms and heart problems, those with persistent high fever for more than two days and those tested positive for Influenza A or B through rapid test would be given antiviral treatment immediately.
For these groups there was no need to wait for a confirmation from the Institute for Medical Research (IMR) or the Sungai Buloh Hospital.
"I have directed all hospitals and clinics to threat these groups of patients immediately," he said.
Liow also urged doctors to give seven days' medical leave to those suffering from flu so that they could continue treatment at home and not expose themselves to the public.
He also called on the people not to panic because 98 per cent of those who contracted the disease had recovered.
What was worrying was the high risk group which needed immediate treatment if they showed H1N1 symptoms, he added.
"If everyone acts responsibly and follows the instructions of the Health Ministry, we believe that we can contain this pandemic," he said.
Liow also said that the current situation, though serious because of the increase in fatalities, did not warrant the government declaring a health emergency.
"To declare a health emergency I have to quarantine the community whereby the government must curb the people's movements. We have not reached that stage yet."
On the closure of schools, he said the ministry had asked the school authorities to closely monitor the students and send the sick ones home to rest.
He said parents must also cooperate by ensuring that their children did not go to school and were immediate treated by a doctor if they showed signs of H1N1.
"We close a school for a week and then we reopen. Then there is another H1N1 case and a closure order is issued. This is not how we manage the pandemic because the disease speads not only in schools but also in the communal areas, night markets or supermarkets," he said.

Uprising Death H1N1 victims
August 06, 2009 17:38 PM
Influenza A H1N1 Deaths Leap To 14
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Another death related to Influenza A (H1N1), that of a 57-year old male pensioner at the Putrajaya Hospital Wednesday, has raised the number of deaths due to the pandemic to 14 since this morning.
Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said the victim who had diabetes and hypertension was admitted to the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) with symptoms of fever, cough and difficulty in breathing.
"He was confirmed having the virus yesterday. He died yesterday of Acute Pulmonary Oedema secondary to H1N1," he told reporters here Thursday.
In that regard, Dr Mohd Ismail again stressed that people with high risk like pregnant women, those with lung disease, obesity, diabetes, asthma, low immunity, heart disease and breathing difficulty to seek immediate treatment at the nearest clinic or hospital as treatment for Influenza A (H1N1) was very effective if treatment was started within 48 hours of onset of symptoms.
He said for those who have normal influenza symptoms and not in the high risk groups they are advised to not panic and rush to get themselves tested.
He said this was because many H1N1 cases in Malaysia, and the rest of the world, would show light symptoms and 98 per cent would recover even without specific medicine.
"Patients with light symptoms are asked to rest and God Willing will recover in three or four days. After recovering they will have the anti-body, so it is not necessary for all cases with light symptoms to undergo H1N1 testing," he said.
Dr Mohd Ismail said H1N1 testing would only be done for cases admitted to ward and those with high risk.
He said this was because the Institute of Medical Research (IMR) which is responsible for testing is swamped with 500 tests a day and that 80-90 per cent were tested negative.

"Patients with light symptoms are asked to rest and God Willing will recover in three or four days. After recovering they will have the anti-body, so it is not necessary for all cases with light symptoms to undergo H1N1 testing," he said.
Dr Mohd Ismail said H1N1 testing would only be done for cases admitted to ward and those with high risk.
He said this was because the Institute of Medical Research (IMR) which is responsible for testing is swamped with 500 tests a day and that 80-90 per cent were tested negative.
