GREAT PROMOTIONS

The commercial from England Optical Group shows 90% discount on selected items. It is very worthy if buyers only fork out 10% of the original price. From my own assumption, buyers only have to pay RM 100 out of RM 1000 item. That is really great bargain!

I wonder when is the Malaysia Year-End Sale? I expect an advertisement from the Tourism Board. For your information, Malaysia Savings Sale 2008 (previously known as Malaysia Year-End Sale) starts from 29 November 2008 to 4 January 2009. Malaysia Savings Sale? You can't save if you want to shop! The interest rates made low to encourage Malaysians to shop without knowing when Malaysia Savings Sale 2008. On the other hand, the low interest rates will not push me to spend, instead more work and less spending.

EXTREME PRINCIPAL

A secondary school in Teluk Intan lay a principal who is tough. He starts the staff meeting on 1st December (usually other school will starts at the end of December) where some of the teachers were back at their hometown while others were invigilating and the rest meeting for marking SPM and STPM papers. All the ‘so called’ excuses of invigilating and marking papers are not accepted. If the principal receive any letter with 'mohon jasa baik ketua jabatan' from the Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia that means everything must get a final nod from the principal. In the end, all are no-no except going for staff meeting on 1st December. Those who did not turn up have to show their 'show cause letter'. This is not the way a leader should show. Only a great leader can create good teacher and student.

LOW WAGES

PIC: Guard House

Do you know how much a 'pengawal keselamatan' earns a month minus the uniform bought? How long do they work in a day? How many days off they will get? Most of them are retired soldiers. It is inadequate to feed themselves and their family if without the support of their pension. Who will take the blame if any break in happens? They sacrifice their time (at night without sleeping) and money (fuel to stroll the school which has a big compound and telephone bill to contact certain teacher or school administrator). Will you become a security guard in a school? I salute the work they are doing and I hope they will get better wages than now and their welfare well taken care of.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

I don't mean to spoil your appetite. All I wanted to highlight here is any animal dung especially animal farmers produced quite a number should obtained to make renewable energy. I am looking forward the help from government to subsidise converter to animal farmers so that they could convert the produced gas from animal dung to generate the electricity.

2008 SPM candidates answer mostly in BM in some states

I heard news of some states, mostly all of the students answered Additional Mathematics and Mathematics in Malay language this year. Does this means the teachers were teaching from day 1 to SPM in Malay and not English languages while enjoying the benefit of BISP. To the weaker students were unavoidable to teach in Malay language for certain subjects and classes but not all students in a state, I perhaps.

Watch out for another landslide prone area in Taiping. Columbia Hospital is built near to Tesco, Taiping. It is built to saves lives and I do not hope landslide tragedy happen where it needed to be saved too.
