Dr Chan advises public to put off events that pull crowds to confined spaces
KUCHING: Organisers of events that draw large number of people to confined spaces were yesterday urged to postpone their events for the time being due to an increase in Influenza A (H1N1) cases.
“To minimise the risk (of spreading the flu) as much as possible, please defer big events,” Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr George Chan told a press conference here.
However, Dr Chan, who is the State Disaster Relief Committee chairman, said the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) scheduled this weekend would go on as scheduled.
“We decided to hold it and the Health Department is deploying staff from the other divisions to have added precautions imposed during the Rainforest (RWMF).
“We will provide festival goers with face masks, clinic facilities and thermal scanner at the venue,” he said.
Last week, Dr Chan said public gatherings and functions in the state could be banned by the government if there was a case of local transmission of H1N1.
He said the ban would be necessary to contain the spread of the disease.

Hey old man, to fuck or not to fuck?
Mastering the art of ‘talking using your backside’ is a must for anyone who inspires to be a politician like George Chan. So, learn from the best!
If you think partying with one hand holding your drink, face covered with mask, thermal thermometer stuck in your ass is fun, then Rainforest World Music Festival 2009 is definitely something to look for this weekend! (July 10 – 12). See you there!
I can’t wait to see photos and videos of the mask wearing crowd dancing to the tune. What an orgy fest!
ps: IMO, I think the threat of H1N1 is overated, exaggerated and blown out of proportion. But, who I am to say so when WHO claimed otherwise?
pss: Sorry Ladybird, I cannot join you for this RWMF. Thank you very much for the invitation and offer anyway. Have fun!

Compulsory day off for maids
By ZALINAH NOORDIN
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government has agreed to make it compulsory for employers to give a day off a week for their maids.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said: “The ministry will make it mandatory for all domestic helpers to sign the contract of employment containing provisions like salary, the name of employers, their workplaces and the compulsory one day off a week.”

Yes you heard it right! Finally, our caring government has decided to make it compulsory for employers to give a day off a week for their maids. Something to rejoice? Perhaps not.
What it’s like working as a maid in Malaysia? Generally, maids in Malaysia needs to work 7 days a week, hardly get any day off, low pay (actually I think the agencies ripped both the empoyers and the maids off and make the most money out of this) Worst if they work with fussy employers and need to perform all sort of task from cleaning the house, taking care of the kids, sending and picking them from school, cooking food, washing cars, doing laundry, watering gardens, cleaning shits, walking the dog, taking care of the geriatrics you-name-the-work etc.
Maids working in Malaysia = Superwomen or Wonderwomen. These foreign maids choose to work her despite the low salary because it’s nearer to their hometown, common and very much similar environment – weather, food, language etc..
I once saw a maid with a family in a shopping mall, buying groceries. The poor maid was carrying the daughter on one hand, and pushing a trolly packed to the brim using another hand. A boy was tugging closely to her, must be the couple’s son. The couple walked in front carrying nothing, lenggang-lenggang kangkung. (strolling freely with willy hanging out ok-i-don’t-know-why-i-type-this-haha)
Another time, I was eating at this one food court, I saw this one family eating and the maid was sitting on another table, eating alone. No, the family’s table was not fully seated. WTF? She looked so lonely and sad sitting alone, chewing her food.
So, it’s not surprising and downright shocking for me to read about the employers prostesting against this move. It is one thing to read about how inconsiderate for these people to think ‘a day off in a week’ is something ‘lavish’ or should not be granted to their workers and it is another to read the excuses given by them. I was dumbfounded and I must say it is kinda disgusting to read the excuses/reasons given by some of these retarded sadists, for I can’t imagine such inconsiderate nincompoop-moron-dungu-idiots living among us.
She is apprehensive that the day off would be used by the maid to get involved in “unhealthy activities.
Oh? They get a day off and they would use this ‘great chance’ to do nothing but to get involved in ‘unhealthy activities’? This is the lamest excuse I ever heard. After working their asses off like donkeys (sorry donkey) for 6 days straight, they sure can’t wait to get involved in ‘unhealthy activities’ heh! So, if they don’t work as maid, then they must be plotting something evil like robbing banks, rempit-ing or killing orphans then?
“I don’t mean to discriminate but from past stories, we’ve all heard about how maids have gone missing after a week of working.”
We’ve all heard also how employers treat some maids inhumanely, worst than treating a dog prior to them gone missing, after a week of working. If anything, most of the maids ‘run away’ because of better offers from other places. (forget that part about them getting cheated, for a while) These employers must be scared of their maids getting or hearing some good ‘lubang‘ (opportunities) from other maids.
“Imagine if all the 300,000 foreign maids are given the same day off, then places like shopping malls will be teeming with these people!”
Damn! No wonder the shopping malls are full during the weekend! It is because most Malaysians work only 5 days a week and would be free during the weekend! Malaysia is so small, now with so many people not working during the weekend, especially when 300,000 foreign maids getting a day off, everywhere must be packed with people! How scary! Waaaaaaaaa! And, listen to the tone this idiot used to describe the foreign maids – ‘these people!’
Malaysians are hypocrites a lot. Not only the politicians. They want the best for themselves like working only 5 days a week, shorter working hours, minimum wage. high paying jobs, handsome perks and all the good shits, but when the foreign workers ask something as reasonable as ‘a day off’ in a week, they would say it’s unfair, not a wise move or downright no and offer some stupid justifications.
Hypocrites. I hate hypocrites. *crush them like cockraches* *stamp stamp*
ps: Ranting post on Friday night. That’s new.
pss: I wanted to write something along the line ‘Umno is in a hurry to sodomise Pas and Muhyiddin is a snake’ but I guess that needs to wait.

Far away in South Africa, a country called Zimbabwe:
Robert Mugabe claims ‘there is no cholera’ in Zimbabwe
Robert Mugabe has made the extraordinary claim that ‘there is no cholera’ in Zimbabwe.
The President faced international criticism as he made the statement even as the toll rose to nearly 800 deaths and South Africa declared a border district a disaster area.
The United Nations said the number of deaths in Zimbabwe had risen to 783, with more than 16,000 cases.
But displaying his characteristic ability to interpret events differently from other observers, Mr Mugabe claimed the disease had been stopped.
In a televised speech at the funeral of an official from his Zanu-PF party he proclaimed: “I am happy we are being assisted by others and we have arrested cholera.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!
Well well well.. Najib Tun Razak is doing very well following his mentor’s footstep is his latest true ‘Mahathirism’ style. He is going to rob borrow our hard earned money, our pension saving inside Employees Provident Fund in the tune of RM5 billion. Reason? To invest in undervalued companies in the share market (read: to prop up the share market.)
Remember the old man hobby when he was the most powerful man in Malaysia? EPF, Tabung Haji and Petronas were his ‘piggy banks’ – source of unlimited funds to finance his appetite. The old man ’borrowed’ EPF monies to fund Putrajaya, and most mega projects (and cronies, of course.) According to an estimation carried out in 2002, EPF contributors had loaned Federal Government some RM90 billion at low interest rates to finance its mega projects and to bail out crony companies.
