Sumbangan rokok kepada dunia (Dipetik Dari Utusan Online ) Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) menganggarkan penggunaan tembakau mungkin menyebabkan lebih satu bilion kematian sepanjang abad ini, dengan China dan India masing-masing menganggarkan hampir satu juta rakyat mereka maut akibat tembakau setiap tahun. Abad ke-20 telah mencatatkan 100 juta kematian akibat tembakau dan dijangka meningkat 10 kali ganda abad ini jika tindakan berkesan tidak diambil dengan segera. Mengikut jangkaan WHO, kematian berkaitan tembakau mungkin meningkat kepada lapan juta orang setiap tahun menjelang 2030, 80 peratus daripadanya di negara membangun. Satu laporan WHO juga mengenalpasti peningkatan bilangan perokok kini paling banyak berlaku di negara berpendapatan rendah yang dikaitkan dengan peningkatan bilangan penduduk. Di India, hasil penyelidikan yang menunjukkan satu daripada 10 kematian di negara itu akan berpunca daripada penggunaan tembakau menjelang 2010. Kumpulan penyelidikan berkenaan menjelas...

Pemberian biasiswa kepada pelajar Melayu termaktub dalam perlembagaan 17/05/2008 6:17pm KUALA LUMPUR 17 Mei — Pelajar Melayu yang berjaya melanjutkan pelajaran ke universiti yang diiktiraf, berhak mendapat biasiswa seperti yang diperuntukkan di dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan, kata Pengerusi Institut Profesional Baitulmal (IPB) Tan Sri Hanafiah Ahmad. Beliau berkata pemberian biasiswa pelajaran adalah antara hak keistimewaan bagi orang Melayu. Pemberian pinjaman di bawah Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) tidak boleh dianggap sebagai pengganti kepada pemberian biasiswa, katanya semasa berucap pada majlis konvokesyen ke-6 IPB di sini hari ini. “Pinjaman PTPTN adalah untuk kemudahan semua rakyat Malaysia. Jika pinjaman ini menggantikan pemberian biasiswa untuk pelajar Melayu Bumiputera, maka hak keistimewaan orang Melayu telah diketepikan. “Sekiranya ada pelajar Melayu bumiputera yang berjaya ke universiti tetapi tidak memperolehi biasiswa, bermakna perkara...

Sociolinguistics I'm just soo busy and stressed out lately. I have no idea that being a student is so frustrating. I just completed my Socioinguistics assignment and handed it in yesterday. It was a relief after a hard work that I put on it. Not sure what I'll get though, hopefully colourful result. Ah well, let's not talk about sociolinguistics. It's boring as hell. I have no idea why it is a compulsory subject for me. It has nothing to do with teaching English. I just have to bear with it until then end of this semester and done. No more sociolinguistics. Do not get me wrong. I love linguistics, just that this sociolinguistics is too narrow in contexts. Not really what I was expected from it before I enrolled. However, I love other linguistics courses that I took last trimester (Early Words and Interpersonal Communication). The end of it Till I write again (hard for me to write something) ps: I'm also frustrated cause I don't get to go out often now. Well, it...

Working as a checkout operator is always overrated by most people. I have no idea why but at first as a customer before I work as a checkout operator I thought that the work is easy, just scan the items and chuck them into bags. Oh well, it was before. After I started working as a cashier about a month ago i started to realise that the work is actually harder than I thought. Why is it difficult? At first you have to be fast, this is boring because you're not going to get better payment even if you're so fast like a superman or the flash anyway. If you work too slow you'll most probably be fired. Oh well, I'm not slow just moderate cause I want to be moderate. Second, you need to be really patient because there are many type of people do their shopping at that place where I a working right now. There was one time, I was working at night and there was a guy who was wanted to buy his groceries and placed it on my counter. After I scanned the items and put them in the bags...

I had a road trip to cover my tour in New Zealand. I travelled in the North Island last year and this year, I thought why not I travel in the South. Oh well I did cover the South Island, from Picton to Picton. I travelled to all the cities in the East Coast and All the Cities in the West Coast. Here is the stories and what I did. Actually before you read, I was in a budget so I didn't do many expensive activities that could kill you (lit erally kill you) like bungy, sky diving or rafting. lol. I didn't feel like doing all the things because I prefer to see the sceneries and enjoy the ambiance. The Starting Point Everything started at Wellington when I took the ferr y to Picton. The ferry fee was NZD52 from Wellington to Picton. It was an awesome journey because the weather was fine. I was lucky about it or else I would easily get sick in a voyage.In the ferry,I went to the top deck to see the view from it. There are many islands because the ferry went through a sound to ...

I have something to say about a car rental company that really bad in handling customers and racist as I called it.  It happened on my trip in New Zealand South Island at Picton . As I disembarked from Interislander ferry I head out to the place where I had made a booking through the internet. The place is called Ace Rental Cars . I went to the place and I was the only customer at that time. I went to the very senior lady who happened to be a clerk there. Oh, don't ask me about the lady. She doesn't even have a computer skill I can say cause she can't even use a mouse. She just type in and asked me why that doesn't come out? "Oh well, of course it didn't come out, You didn't click on the BOX" I don't want to talk about her but I want to talk about her service there. When she was serving me, she asked me to pay the rest of the balance when I booked online. I tried to pay using my credit card but it was declined. I didn't know what had happened a...

Warisan Anak kecil main api, Terbakar hatinya yang sepi, Air mata darah bercampur keringat, Bumi dipijak milik orang. Nenek moyang kaya raya, Tergadai seluruh harta benda, Akibat sengketa sesamalah kita, Cinta lenyap di arus zaman. Indahnya bumi kita ini, Warisan berkurun lamanya, Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain, Peribumi merintih sendiri. Kita rumpun bangsa Melayu, Menganut agama yang suci, Semangat bangsa berlandaskan Islam, Teras capai kemerdekaan. Masa depan sungguh kelam, Kan lenyap peristiwa semalam, Tertutuplah hati terkunci mati, Maruah peribadi dah hilang. Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa, Yang akan menentukan bangsa, Bersatulah hati, bersama berbakti, Pulih kembali harga diri. Kita sudah tiada masa, Bangunlah dengan gagah perkasa, Janganlah terlalai teruskan usaha, Melayu kan gagah di nusantara.
