Sepang International Circuit (SIC) chairman, Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir needs to encourage more spectators in SIC. How to promote the encouragement? Let me show how.
Develops interest in watching Formula 1 within Malaysians by making sure Formula 1 is aired live! Delayed telecast at the late hours will only kill the hobby and interest of many. Secondly, screen more advertisement and announcement on the schedule of Formula 1 shown on television.
Nevertheless, I just hope Formula 1 live telecast tonight on RTM 2 will neither delay nor the first part not being shown.(History repeats: Beijing Olympic 2008)

SLOW ACTIONS ON TAINTED MILK

IMAGE: http://chrongmeng.blogspot.com/2008/05/silang-house-of-steamed-potato.htmlYesterday, I came across a little trader selling hampers and food items. An item caught hold of my attention. It is the ‘Silang House of Steamed Potato Cracker’. Here in my hometown still selling this product. I'm not sure if this product is contaminated or not but it looks likely to be containing of milk. In Singapore this product is already banned.
My humble advice to the authorities is to advertise products that are contaminated through media and to pass the flyers around to the little traders. I do not blame it is entirely the fault of the traders to sell this products because they do not have the time to check the products if the salesmen did not confront them. Make a major call back for this product too. Stern penalty must also be taken to the distributors or traders who do not follow the guidelines given. I want eat safe and feel safe as a consumer and living in Malaysia as well.

Singapore detects melamine in five more products
SINGAPORE: Singapores food authorities have detected melamine in five more products imported from China.
Two are flavoured milk and three are confectioneries containing milk powder as an ingredient, according to AgriFood & Veterinary Authority (AVA) of Singapore.
They are Dutch Lady’s Banana Flavoured Milk and Honeydew Flavoured Milk, Silang House of Steamed Potato Potato Cracker, and Puffed Rice Rolls with Butter Corn Flavour and Cheese Flavour.
This brings to eight, the total number of affected products found in Singapore.
The other products which were earlier found to have been contaminated with melamine are Yi Li Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection, Dutch Lady Strawberry Flavoured Milk and White Rabbit Creamy Candy.
In its latest advisory here, AVA said there was no need for the public to be unduly concerned as it had suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China since last Friday.
It also said the levels of melamine detected in the products here were low and hence, unlikely to result in adverse health effects.
The public need to consume large quantities of the contaminated products over a prolonged period of time to have any potential illeffects on health, AVA said. - Bernama

NEW CURRICULUM AGAIN
New Primary School curriculum will start in year 2010. The new curriculum would make learning more holistic and less examination-oriented. Moreover, teachers would have additional responsibilities with school-based assessment in an interviewed with Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
Does it mean by it is 100% no cheating during performing school-based assessment? In the end, a centralised examinations will be given. If the students are not being used to have examinations or test, can the students do well in the centralised examinations later on? Finally, students will perhaps score well in school-based assessment but not in centralised examinations. Therefore, it is better to perform the current curriculum than the new ones. From the current curriculum, it should be improvised year by year.
