Boycott Utusan Malaysia??

Suddenly...a lot of noises arisen.....boycott!boycott!

What happened anyway?? A political leader which was involved in a controversy video responded to media about boycotting U.M due to some so called racist issues....

I've read quite frequently Chinese newspapers as well (on line version). Yes...sometimes....the editorial columns are very surprising with hot issues.....

Hope U.M will develop a good strategy to ensure to be more resilient in this challenging environment.......

Susan Boyle: a story...

My Phd. supervisor came to UUM last Saturday for SEM workshop. He showed to the workshop participants a Susan Boyle video......from a reality show, Britain's Got Talent. It's very special video though......and this was my 1st time to watch the video....

The three judges and audiences laughed at her.....but she took it easy and started to sing.....then....all were impressed....

The lesson learnt: Don't judge a book by its cover...

BPL.....it's getting more exciting....

I follow BPL very excitedly every weekend. It looks like Man. Utd. will be crowned as the champions last week but the thing didn't go as planned though. A draw against New Castle Utd. certainly spoiled my week! Luckily....Arsenal also failed to defeat Spurs......but the biggest threat of course is Chelsea. The team is getting more competitive although their most expensive striker still fires blank.....

Hope Man Utd will beat Everton tomorrow.....

F Class Contractors...

Government has planned accordingly in order to ensure F class contractors able to survive in the stiff market competition. Some of these contractors work with 'others' in order to get contracts. Unfortunately, some contractors who worked very hard in order to accomplish any project need to coupe with tonnes of problems.

I have few F class contractor friends as well. And they are suffering a lot lately......

Project of RM50K are divided into smaller projects (RM1oK) and of course....for these types of projects....you won't get anything......trust me.....

Something must be done.......and hope they and their friends learnt something especially to ponder few years back.....

When they've got caught.....

I always highlight important things to my students. "Don't ever try to cheat me"......is one of my favourite advices.....

But, sometimes they have remembered.......and sometime they don't...so what will be the implication?

I'll punish them accordingly.....

A fantastic game....

I woke up at 2.45am last nite to watch a Champions League match between Manchester United and Chelsea. It's a very entertaining game with splendid performance from both team players. What was the key point led to the match winner? It's about tactical approach by SAF.....

He's very good in preparing an appropriate team selection for a big match. All players were able to materialise the tactical wisdom of their manager. Kudos to Manchester United.....

Rare Earth......

I've read the New York Times regarding the rare earth radiation cleanup in Bukit Merah, Perak. Mitsubishi Chemical was operated there for few years and the radiation caused severe health problems such as leukemia, mental and physical disabilities, deformed babies and others. Hope the things can be rectified fast as it involves health and safety issues......

I strongly disagree with the government decision to allow an Aussie company to operate a rare earth refinery plant in Kuantan....

**the picture is Mrs. Lai Kwan, whom worked at the rare earth refinery........taking care of her mentally and physically disable son....
