GONG XI GONG XI FROM MALAYSIA PRIME MINISTER (^_~)

Malaysia Airlines takes to the skies today as oneworld member

Malaysia Airlines commenced operations today as a full member of the award winning oneworld airline alliance.

In commemoration of the event, a Malaysia Airlines' A330-300 showcasing the special oneworld livery took off as flight MH129 from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne at 10:15am this morning with 263 passengers.

The aircraft displayed the aircraft's distinct design features ' oneworld ' in 6ft (2 metre) high blue letters along a white fuselage and the airline's standard tailfin, serving as a huge flying billboard highlighting that the national carrier of Malaysia is now a member of the alliance, offering the full range of oneworld services and benefits.

The oneworld logos will be applied by the side passenger entrance doors on Malaysia Airlines' entire fleet of 88 aircraft as part of a massive rebranding programme that will also see the alliance logo added virtually wherever the Malaysia Airlines' name is displayed—at airport check-in desks and signages, on its website, tickets, boarding passes and all items of stationery.

Malaysia Airlines' Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari was joined by Mr Michael Blunt, Vice-President Corporate Communications of oneworld Alliance, member carriers’ uniformed representatives and senior management staff of Malaysia Airlines to send-off passengers on the flight, followed by a cake cutting ceremony with the participating airline staff.

In addition to the send-off, Malaysia Airlines entry to oneworld will be heavily promoted from today onwards via one of its biggest marketing campaigns in the airline's history with extensive advertisements highlighting the new alliance services and benefits available to its customers.

All cardholders in its Enrich frequent flyer programme have been sent new membership cards, bearing the oneworld logo and ‘gemstone’ tier indicator, to ensure they receive their alliance benefits from today when traveling on the alliance partners throughout the entire oneworld network.

Since accepting its invitation to join the alliance in June 2011, Malaysia Airlines has expanded its code-sharing relationships to four established oneworld partners – Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian.

Malaysia Airlines unveils first aircraft in oneworld livery

Malaysia Airlines today rolled out its first aircraft decorated in the livery of the oneworld^® alliance – which the flag carrier of Malaysia joins at midnight tonight in one of the most significant steps in its 40-year history  

The aircraft in its new-look design was unveiled at a special ceremony at KL International Airport this morning - ahead of a formal joining ceremony and press conference this afternoon - by Group Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya accompanied by visiting counterparts from oneworld and its other member airlines, including New York-based oneworld CEO Bruce Ashby and, from Sydney, Qantas Group Chief Executive Alan Joyce.  Qantas has supported Malaysia Airlines through its alliancejoining programme as its oneworld sponsor.

oneworld requires all member airlines to decorate a number of their aircraft in its standard alliance livery as part of oneworld’s promotional activities. 

The first Malaysia Airlines aircraft decorated with this design is one of its 10 latest Airbus A330-300s.  The special alliance livery features “oneworld” in 6 ft (2 metre) high blue letters along a white fuselage and the airline’s standard tailfin, serving as a massive flying billboard to highlight that Malaysia Airlines starts offering oneworld services and benefits from tomorrow.

It will make it first commercial flight in its new look tomorrow, operating as flight MH129 from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne, departing at 10.15 am.

Another two aircraft in its fleet will be decorated in this alliance livery in the coming months.

The rest of its 88-strong fleet will retain the standard Malaysia Airlines livery – but with a 30 cm diameter oneworld logo placed on the fuselage by the main passenger entry door. 

Also this morning, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Bruce Ashby and Alan Joyce, placed the first of those logos on the side of one of Malaysia Airlines’ 15 Boeing 737-800s

The oneworld logos will be applied to the other aircraft in the airline’s fleet overnight after the end of operations today, as part of a massive overnight rebranding programme that will also see the alliance branding added virtually wherever the Malaysia Airlines’ name is displayed – in particular at airport check-in desks and signage, on its website, tickets, boarding passes and all items of stationery.

The full story of Malaysia Airlines’ integration into oneworld will be detailed at its formal joining ceremony at 5.30 pm today, when Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, Bruce Ashby, Alan Joyce and senior executives from other oneworld member airlines will be available to the media for interview.

Bawani: Pendidikan Percuma Atau Publisiti Murahan?

Listen...Listen...Listen

Presiden Suara Wanita 1Malaysia (SW1M), Sharifah Zohra Jabeen Syed Shah Miskin, semestinya tidak menjangkakan bahawa jemputan yang diterima beliau untuk menjadi moderator bagi satu forum di UUM beberapa hari lalu akan mengubah hidup beliau. Sharifah Zohra bukanlah salah seorang daripada panel bagi forum tersebut (Forum Wanita dan Politik), jadi, bukanlah menjadi tanggungjawab beliau untuk menjawab soalan-soalan yang diberikan para peserta. Namun, seorang pelajar, Bawani, bertindak mengajukan soalan kepada Sharifah pada saat-saat akhir forum dan enggan 'berhenti bercakap'. Tidak salah bagi sesiapa untuk mengesyaki bahawa walaupun Syarifah tidak menjangkakan perkara seperti ini akan berlaku, Bawani mungkin telah membuat rancangan awal terhadap insiden tersebut. Masa yang dipilih oleh Bawani untuk mengajukan soalan adalah satu perkara. Namun, satu lagi perkara yang tidak boleh diterima adalah nada dan kelakuan Bawani terhadap Syarifah. Budaya timur tidak boleh menerima kelakuan buruk seperti itu, terutamanya kelakuan Bawani kepada seorang yang lebih berusia darinya. Namun, Bawani hanyalah seorang pelajar, seorang wanita yang masih lagi muda yang masih lagi mentah, penuh dengan perkara yang mahu dilepaskan. dan sama seperti mana-mana golongan muda terpelajar, Bawani percaya bahawa dia adalah lebih arif berbanding orang lain, termasuklah, terutamanya, kerajaan dan sesiapa yang mempunyai kaitan dengan kerajaan, dan dalam kes ini, Sharifah. Syarifah bagaimanapun, gagal untuk mengawal provokasi yang dibuat oleh Bawani.

NSi percaya bahawa Syarifah mungkin mampu mengawal pelajar tersebut jika beliau lebih bersedia. Sebagai moderator, Syarifah tidak bertanggungjawab untuk menjawab soalan, beliau bertanggungjawab terhadap masa, dan ketika itu, masa bagi forum tersebut telah tamat. Kami faham bahawa bagi Sharifah, tindakan pelajar tersebut dalam melakukan provokasi adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh diterima. Atas sebab itulah beliau memberikan respon-respon yang tidak relevan. Namun, segalanya berubah dalam sekelip mata. Kita dapat lihat bagaimana Youtube mampu mengubah kehidupan seseorang; dalam masa sekelip mata, Syarifah dianggap sebagai seorang agen kerajaan yang tidak sensitif dan bodoh sementara Bawani dianggap sebagai seorang hero. Tiba-tiba, insiden tersebut bertukar menjadi isu politik, lengkap dengan elemen-elemen perkauman, pegawai kerajaan yang tidak bertauliah dan juga mangsa yang berani. Soalan yang diajukan oleh Bawani bukanlah berbentuk 'killer question'.NSi pasti Sharifah pasti mampu menjawab persoalan tersebut jika beliau berada dalam situasi yang berlainan. Dengan segala fakta yang diberkan oleh bawani terhadap pendidikan percuma di beberapa negara, mungkin Bawani rasa bahawa dia adalah lebih besar daripada mana-mana kabinet kerajaan. Namun, seperti apa yang NSi katakan, Bawani adalah seorang anak muda yang belum matang dan naif. Memerintah sebuah negara dan memberikan pendidikan percuma bukanlah semudah ibu bapanya memberikan wang belanja kepada dia dan adik-adiknya.

Nampaknya, Bawani sebenarnya tidak begitu arif tentang isu ini. Bawani membandingkan Malaysia dengan negara-negara seperti Cuba, Argentina, dan Brazil berkenaan dengan pendidikan percuma. Mungkin dia tidak tahu bahawa untuk mendapatkan sistem pendidikan percuma, kos untuk perkara-perkara lain akan meningkat. Untuk memberikan pendidikan percuma, Argentina dan Cuba kekal sebagai negara miskin. Mereka tidak mampu menggunakan sebarang dana untuk memajukan sektor-sektor lain. Selain itu, pendidikan percuma juga tidak memberikan sebarang jaminan bahawa negara tidak akan dibelenggu masalah lain. Argentina sebagai contoh, akibat daripada kemiskinan, masalah rasuah adalah terlalu tinggi dan kemudiannya membawa kepada ketidakseimbangan dalam peluang pendidikan yang mana nisbah pelajar dari keluarga kaya dan golongan pelajar miskin untuk mendapat peluang untuk mendapatkan pendidikan tertiari adalan 9:1. Dan hanya 10% pelajar-pelajar di Sri Lanka berpeluang untuk mendapatkan pendidikan tinggi, selebihnya hanya mampu mendapatkan pendidikan menengah. Brazil juga memberikan pendidikan percuma, namun, kadar cukai di negara tersebut adalah tinggi. 

Hampir kesemua negara-negara maju tidak memberikan pendidikan percuma. Denmark sebagai contoh, walaupun memberikan pendidikan percuma, mereka terpaksa mengenakan kadar cukai yang amat tinggi kepada rakyat. Turki dan Malaysia pula adalah sama, pendidikan hanyalah percuma hingga ke sekolah menengah. Cukai pendapatan di Finland mencecah kadar 50% berbanding dengan Malaysia pada kadar 26% dan rakyat Malaysia masih mampu menikmati subsidi bagi pendidikan tinggi dimana pelajar hanya perlu membayar 5% daripada kos keseluruhan pembelajaran. Jadi, Bawani, penulis mahu mencadangkan Bawani supaya membuat satu thesis tentang perkara ini dan berikan idea-idea bernas dalam memberikan pendidikan percuma tanpa perlu menaikkan kadar cukai dan memastikan kadar inflasi stabil. Jika Bawani berjaya, kami akan pastikan Bawani mendapat tempat di Kabinet. Dan hanya jika Bawani berjaya berbuat demikian, barulah Bawani layak digelar sebagai seorang hero.

Gemparrr !!!!! Rozita Che Wan di lamar Zain Saidin

Zain Saidin yang telah meluahkan isi hatinya pada Che Ta di Instagram mengatakan mereka akan berkahwin pada tahun ini. Tambahan pula dia dan Che Ta sudahpun berbincang perihal perkahwinan mereka dan Rozita menyerahkan semua keputusan ditangan Zain.

Beberapa hari lalu, kita digemparkan dengan kenyataan pelakon, Zain Saidin mahu melamar Rozita Che Wan pada tahun ini juga.

Namun, tiada kata-kata samada Rozita atau Che Ta bersetuju atau tidak dengan niat Zain itu.

Hari ini, menerusi Utusan Malaysia Rozita Che Wan mengakui yang dia dan Zain ketika ini sememangnya serius berkawan tetapi belum sampai ke tahap merisik atau bertunang.

“Pada saat ini hubungan kami masih lagi di peringkat mengenali hati budi masing-masing, biarpun sudah lama berkawan.

“Kalau ada jodoh, adalah. Biar Allah yang tentukan semuanya,” katanya.

Tambahnya, isu mengenai Zain mahu mengahwininya itu merupakan pendapat Zain secara peribadi.

Harapannya, agar peminat sentiasa mendoakan kebahagiaan mereka.

Sebelum ini, Zain memberitahu dia dan Che Ta serius berkawan dan jika ada terdengar desas-desus yang mengatakan Che Ta sedang berpasangan dengan lelaki lain ia adalah tidak benar sama sekali.

“Saya dan Che Ta memang serius. Kalau terdengar gosip tentang Che Ta berpasangan dengan lelaki lain, itu tidak benar. Dia bersama saya ketika ini,” kata Zain Saidin.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute

3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this'sludge'reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
