TEMAN-TERMINAL AGRIBISNES NEGARA

I've visited my practicum students in Ipoh and went to some interesting organizations. Some of course, located in very unexpected locations. But, overall, the students were enjoyed themselves in their practicum or industrial internship. One of my questions to them was whether sexual harassment happened or not.......

I've visited a student attached to FAMA (Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority) in Ipoh at TEMAN. It's a centralised wholesalers centre for all types of foods related products specifically to help bumiputera wholesalers. It looks very great effort by Government to ensure sufficient food supply to people nearby. Hope this RM400 millions investment is fully utilised.......

A book.....

I've bought a book written by Tun Dr. Mahathir. It's a nice book to read. He writes in a narrative style and really enjoyable reading it. Many things have been written in specific chapters. It costs me RM100.00 but I think...the price still affordable to many people....

Earthquake.......Japan 11/3/2011

Japan was struck by deadly 8.9 Richter Scale earthquake on Friday noon and triggered a massive 10-metre tsunami. The power of these killer waves demonstrated the super power of destruction. Live videos from various news agencies showed how the tsunami rammed into the land areas and demolished anything within.....

I was really shocked to hear the news when my sis in-law called me to highlight the tsunami impact at 6.00pm on Friday.

I want to express my deepest condolence to those affected in this tragic catastrophe. I pray Malaysia will always in good condition.....and be thankful...Allah SWT still protects us from such tragedies......

Practicum Visit

It's about 3 years after reporting duty from my Ph.D. study leave. I am surprised to know that I have been selected as one of the visiting supervisors for practicum students. I don't bother much whether the management select me or not. But, to be selected is a good thing though. Not only I able to visit the students and also can use this opportunity for future research connections with various organizations. More importantly, I hope the students are learning something....valuable.....during this practicum.

Kajang.......

I've to teach another MBA class this month and it's in Kajang. I think it's quite a long ago since my last visit to Kajang and the traffic congestion is improving. Not bad as my last visit. Many new highways help to ease the traffic congestion. I've stayed in a budget hotel (RM80.00 nett per night) but it's really good. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. Even, wi-fi service is available at no cost. Just try the New City Hotel if you're visiting Kajang........

Futsal.....

I play futsal every Monday nite 9pm-10pm. It becomes my routine and my friends from UUM and some from Jitra also join. Sometimes, our team plays against teams from Jitra for friendly matches. So far, in 2011, we've played 3 friendly games with various teams. Even last nite, my team played another friendly match against a team from Onkyo Jitra. The team invited one of the former national centre halves, Kamal Idris Ali. Yes, he can play very good football but in futsal, it's different story.....His team consists of some good players as well. My team, of course, majority is UUM lecturers and businessmen.......

I don't bother much....whether he is a former national team player or what......the most important thing is I just want to play and score goals.....

Next week is going to be very busy week for my team because we have two invitations for friendly matches......

1. Monday-we have a game against an Ex-SMJ team

2. Wednesday-Kamal Idris Ali's team.....asks my team for a re-match...........

a gift.....

I've taught an MBA class in Melaka recently. The final examination results also already forwarded to the university senate for endorsement. Some students were excellent....some not.....but overall they performed well. The class gave me a gift....perhaps my birthday gift.....
I didn't open the gift until I've transmitted the final examination results though.....
Thank you very much....and look forward to meet them again in future.....
