What??? Electrified Double-Tracking Project??

It's been reported that the main reason for the worst ever flood incident in Alor Setar, Kedah was due to the electrified double-tracking construction. I'm not the expert in railway construction, but I am strongly believed that for any multi-billion development project, a thorough and comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) were properly done.

Irrigation and drainage systems, hills slopes, forest clearance, etc. are some of the common issues in EIA. So, to whom it may be concerned, don't be too defensive and stay away from denial syndrome.....

Bon Voyage-Mekah

My brother in law and wife have arrived safely in Mekah. It's raining as well there but not so heavily as in Kedah I think. The pics taken at the airport last week, 29/10/2010. I wish they able to get Haji Mabrur, insyaAllah...

It's flooded......so please becareful

I made a right decision to go back early yesterday. I've not attended the convocation as I observed the condition worsen......the rain not stopped since Saturday morning. Many students and parents trapped in the flood at Changlun and some in the Sintok-Padang Besar Highway.

My friend, Yon uploaded many photos....so please check the link.

Jitra area also affected......and I unable to go out as all exit routes were closed.

The wettest convocation...

It's raining heavily since Saturday.....and many areas were flooded. However, the convocation still goes on as planned. Many parents and relatives come to UUM to share the glorious moments of their sons/daughters important day. Congratulations to all graduates and I wish them all the best in their career and life.

My ex-student, a friend and a sister, Angel visited me yesterday. She was a very good student.....and very talented and committed in her study. Her convocation was 4 years ago....I taught her co-curricular class, Entreprenuership. But, the relationship goes on until today. She's now working in one of the multinational companies in Penang and currently doing her MBA in USM. I always pray for her success and wish her all the best in her future.....

Of course, I always pray for all my students success and advise them accordingly.....whether they want to listen to my advice or not......up to them....

Earthquake, Tsunami....and Merapi Volcano

It was 7.2 Richter scale earthquake in Mentawai and the destruction also very terrible. The death tolls escalated to more than 400 people and I think will increase soon as many still missing. The Mentawai islands tsunami waves were so great as many villagers unable to run for their lives. It was reported the 1st wave, 8 metres high and the 2nd even higher. Merapi volcano also erupted and is waiting to erupt, the biggest eruption I guess, very soon. Earthquake struck Indonesia quite frequently......this year. My deepest condolence to all Indonesians......be patient....

2 1/2 months....

Muhammad Alif Ammar is 2 1/2 months old. His smiles make my heart so calm.....

He can response to his brothers voices....and I think he is able to recognise all. Feel so great as he and his brothers in good health. This Friday, Along will be celebrating his 8th birthday....and he requests new Grand Turismo cd.......I think it's Grand Turismo 5 now in the market and look forward to buy for him....

No more blunder, please!

Tonite, Man U will face tough fight against Stoke City. The underdog has proven so pivotal in recent matches as they defeated New Castle and Blackburn Rovers. Hope all Man U players will show great performance and results. Nani and Berbatov should score tonite.....
