Why so Racist?
Today in Borneo Post Online, I was shock with some of the statement that being given by the Pas president to the Dayak community in Sarawak.
"Semua pilihanraya kecil sebelum ini keputusannya memihak kepada kita. Cuma di Batang Ai sahaja kita kalah sebab mereka ini tidak reti undi, pakai cawat lagi. Saya bukan nak hina tetapi tempat yang pakai molek,undi PAS," katanya." -MalaysiaKini-
The statement above has make Dato Sri Dr James Masing who is the president of Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) upset and angry. Maybe to the PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awan, that statement sounds like it an ordinary statement but to Sarawakian it is very sensitive. Please, be respect with each other.
After all, it is very upset to hear it and not keep the sensitivity issue of other races in Malaysia.

"Dgn ini di umumkan bahawa kampus uitm shah alam di tutup dr 27.07.09 - 02.08.09 atas sebab2 yg tertantu.. Harap maklum -pihak pengurusan masscomm."
The UiTM main campus in Shah Alam is now closed to student starting 27.07.09 until 02.08.09. The reason why the university closed is still unknown but the rumors that I heard from my colleague is that some of the student was suspected infected by the H1N1 virus.
So I hope that all of us free from the virus and get to go to the university as soon as possible and continue our study.

Health: Chinese Herbs and H1N1
Chinese Herbs Prove Effective In The Cure Of Inlfuenza A (H1N1)
By Vincent Low
BEIJING, July 23 (Bernama)-- Chinese herbs have proved effective in the cure of Influenza A(H1N1) in Ditan Hospital, Beijing where 88 out of 117 patients treated for the disease only on the herbs fully recovered and were discharged.
"From our clinical tests and observation, the traditional method of treatment left no after effects and it is safe, more over the recovery period was shorter and the cost relatively lower as compared to Tamiflu treatment," said Wang Yuguang, spokesman of Ditan Hospital at a special briefing for the media at Ditan Hospital Wednesday afternoon.
He said the advantage of using herbs on these patients was that the doctors could prescribe different combination of herbs according to the individual's health condition.
"Treatment cost per patient using Tamiflu is about RMB56 a day whereas using traditional herbs it cost only around RMB12."
Ditan Hospital first started using traditional medicine in combination with Tamiflu on H1N1 patient from May 15 to June 15, and when the method proved effective, started treating many patients solely on Chinese herbs.
"We have even tested using the method on high risk patients since July 1, and the results proved favourable." said Wang.
However, Wang did not reveal the herbs used to cure the patients.
Ditan Hospital is one of the two hospitals specially designated for H1N1 patients in Beijing since the pandemic started from May in China.
Built in 1946, Ditan Hospital is the highest grade hospital for infectious diseases and comes under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, Beijing Municipal Health Bureau and the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
The hospital had excelled in 2003 and 2004 in the fight against SARS.
Meanwhile, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has introduced an Influenza A(H1N1) prevention herbal medicine pack.
The Deputy Director of the hospital, Jin Wei, told a press conference earlier that the herbal pack contained seven little packs of four types of herbs in combination, which were said to be effective in the prevention of H1N1.
"Just dip a small pack of herbs in a teapot of hot water and drink it like tea, or used it as mouthwash, and it helps to prevent people for being infected," said Jin.
She said the pack could even cure mild cases of H1N1. However if patients do not recover after taking the herbs for seven days, they are advised to go to the hospital for further treatment.
The combination of the herbs is as follows: Lonicera Japonica Thund-3 grammes, Isatis Indigodica- 3 gms, Mentha Haplocalyx Brip.-3 gms and Glycyrrhiza Glabra-3 gms. These herbs are available in Chinese herbal medicine shops.

Celebrity: Yasmin Ahmad
Yasmin Ahmad suffers stroke
2009/07/24
PETALING JAYA: Multi award-winning director Yasmin Ahmad suffered a stroke yesterday when she was at Sri Pentas for a 3pm meeting with Datuk Siti Nurhaliza, her husband Datuk Seri Khalid Mohamad Jiwa and Media Prima representatives for an undisclosed project.
She was taken to the Damansara Specialist Hospital where she underwent a neurosurgical procedure at 5pm. The operation was over at 7.30pm and she was reported to be in a stable condition.
The 51-year-old film and television commercial director, who is Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur's executive creative director, is recuperating at the hospital's intensive care unit.
"According to the surgeon, she's still unconscious. So let her rest," Leo Burnett's managing director Tan Tien Eng said at the hospital.
Yasmin had complained of feeling unwell and collapsed during the meeting. Efforts were made by those at the meeting to resuscitate her but she did not gain consciousness. She was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
Siti, a former ambassador for the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, also lent a hand when it happened together with a panel doctor for TV3.
"Yasmin didn't show any signs of being unwell. Only when she put her hands to the face and slumped on the meeting table that we knew something was wrong," Siti said.
Yasmin's parents, Inom Yon, 74 and Ahmad Hashim, 75, are scheduled to fly from Langkawi to be with her.
Yasmin's maiden effort Rabun was inspired by the lives and love of Mak Inom and Pak Atan.
Yasmin, who is known for her 1Malaysia theme in her TV commercials, made her big screen debut with Sepet in 2004 after the critically acclaimed Rabun. Sepet made waves for its story that combined humour and love that transcended cultural barriers.
Her follow-up films put Malaysian cinema in the limelight when she bagged awards at international film festivals from Hong Kong and Hawaii to Cannes and San Francisco. Among her works include Gubra (2006), Mukhsin (2007), Muallaf (2008) and Talentime (2009).
Yasmin Ahmad will be featured in Crosstalk in the NST tomorrow. She and Datin Shuhaimi Baba offer their views on the recent ruling that films should not feature Mat Rempit and "men in women's clothes".

Sport: Man Utd vs Malaysia
Owen On Fire Again As Manchester United Beat Malaysia 2-0
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- Manchester United's Italian wonder kid Federico Macheda and latest signing Michael Owen struck early to help the English Premier League champions beat a Malaysian XI, 2-0 in their second meeting at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil Monday night.
The match, played here after Manchester United cancelled their scheduled match against Indonesia in Jakarta, got off to a sizzling start in front of about 40,000 fans despite both teams observing a minute of silence as a mark of respect for the victims of the Jakarta bombings before the kickoff.
The Red Devils who struggled to beat the same side 3-2 on Saturday, got off to a flying start today with Macheda showing his prowess in front of goal to put his side ahead in the 10th minute after latching on to a Darren Fletcher pass.
Two minutes later, Owen who scored the winning goal on Saturday, silenced his critics yet again, when he punished a mistake by Malaysian skipper Norhafiz Zamani Misbah to increase the lead.
Unlike on Saturday, Mohd Amri Yahyah, scorer of both Malaysia's goals in the 2-3 loss, and his striking partner Mohd Zaquan Adha found the Red Devil defence, marshalled by Wes Brown, a tough nut to crack.
With the match almost in the bag, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson changed almost the entire team on the field, especially in attack by introducing Nani, Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney for Owen, Tosic and Macheda, but the score remained unchanged.
Apart from the trio, Ferguson replaced Tomasz Kuszczak for Ben Foster in goal, John O'Shea for Gary Neville, Patrick Evra for Fabio, Rio Ferdinand for John Evans in defence, Anderson for Carrick, Paul Scholes for Ryan Giggs and Gibson for Fletcher in midfield.
Manchester United who had visited Malaysia in 1991, 1995 and 2001, are here on their Asian Tour that includes matches in South Korea and China while their intended trip to Indonesia was cancelled when Ritz Carlton Hotel where the team was supposed to stay, was among two, the other being JW Marriot, were damaged by bombings.
The Red Devils play South Korea on July 24 and China next.
