Met a senior of mine at MCKK, leaning 'lifeless' by the pillar. A pillar of industry in his hey day. He told me 3 of his children are migrating!! He is already feeling the loss of his 2 'cucus'.<br />Young Malays migrating!! My God...<br /><br />We have relegated ourselves to Cambodia and Vietnam status , said Ku Li....FDI is down 80 per cent.Our airports are half empty, we are still building like crazy..Our GLC's are runned by conniving 'yes-men' who cannot think, our senior politicians across the board, MIC,MCA and AMENU, all in are men who probably do not believe in the 'hereafter', ruled by the stomach more than by the heads....Just look at how pathetic MACC is looking everyday...And they are supposed to be the guardian angels...<br /><br />But we deserve the 'shit' we deserve. We voted these clowns year in and year out.Pearls and Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956076197010527489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177051091363290480.post-22431074560583307452010-08-19T15:24:57.310+08:002010-08-19T15:24:57.310+08:00Dear Doc Nik,

I want to say your comments are perceptive, and spot on!<br /><br />Re HK, yes, I too have seen Indonesian Chinese in Singapore speaking in BI. Missed the boat, we have!<br /><br />Secondly, you are also right about 1Malaysia. Nobody takes in seriously, let alone believe in it. It does appear tacky and gimmicky when the basic issues are swept under the carpet. You are right about the weird 'Sekolah Wawasan' when all it shares is a common padang! The 'mix' in the classroom, the education ethos, and its content have nothing to do with building a united nation. It is the nursery of an apartheid frame of mind. And a sort of apartheid already exists in this country. And we wonder why our FDI fell from 18 billion to 4 billion over just three years! We have to decide: do we want to be inclusive and create an investment-friendly climate, or pursue our baser instincts and slide down the razor blade of poverty.<br /><br />Selamat Berpuasa, and have a good day.hamzah Majidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177051091363290480.post-55138127424591416622010-08-14T06:42:38.508+08:002010-08-14T06:42:38.508+08:00Dear Dr Nik,

for your interest in the recen...Thanks Doc Rachmat,<br />for your interest in the recent Hong Kong deliberation on The Metabolic Syndrome . It will come in due time, in my next blog article..<br /><br />While there are new twist and small prints for sub specialist like you and me in the management of the several sub categories in this syndrome mainly of obesity and lifestyle induced medical problems, in the main, thank God, the bottomline for the lay public with respect to the bludgeoning problem related to obesity , overeating, increasing sedentariness in our soceity and the medical problems that follow... the solution still remain the same and quite simplistic and practical from the perspective of the people involved...from the viewpoint of prevention.<br /><br />1.EATING LESS[ how succinct ,with respect to this being the 1st day of Ramadan!...EAT like what the Prophet do....eat when you are hungry and stop before you feel satieted.]<br /><br />2. Watch your weight closely...<br />with respect to ideal weight, easy formullae that I always use in the clinic...your height in centimetres minus 100. That is your ideal weight. Give yourselve 3 to 4 kg on either sides. Stick to that whatever your age!<br /><br />3.Exercise , exercise ,exercise...keep an active lifestyle..keep moving..burn those calories..<br /><br />These are for the masses<br /><br />The rest are minor prints for the subspecialist like myself and you Doc Rachmat. The message are thankfully still simple but even in 2010 , just between India and China, they have over 95 million people with Metabolic Syndrome of varying spectrum. The Asian world is ripe for an epidemic of diabetes with it accompanying myriads of medical incapacitations and problems...Things are simple , the message are clear and precise but PEOPLE are resistant to change.People are impervious to change.<br /><br />Within my very own nuclear family, we have one diabetic and two potential diabetics and hypertensive...<br /><br />Selamat Berpuasa to you. May your Ramadan and mine be a blessed one!Pearls and Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956076197010527489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2177051091363290480.post-3941709143866656122010-08-10T23:13:16.414+08:002010-08-10T23:13:16.414+08:00Please share you latest knowledge from HK debut......Please share you latest knowledge from HK debut.....
