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!

I was away to attend a sea survival training course starting last Monday. The full title of the course is “Combined Sea Survival & Offshore Safety Procedures, Helicopter Underwater Escape Training with EBS and Basic Fire Fighting & Self Rescue (Basic)”.
Damn, it does sounds very ‘canggih‘ (bombastic). Well it’s not. It’s basically a course for those who would need to go to offshore to work where they would be taught basic safety procedures and theories in the class (1 and half day), a one day training in the water and another half day training for firefighting.
Now, when I say in the water and you read ’sea’ somewhere in the first paragraph, some of you must be thinking “Wah do survival training in the sea???” Er, not in the sea but in the pool hehe…
So, what’s so fun about the course? Not much, really. If you consider jumping from a 3m platform feet first into the water, forming survivors’ circle, frolicking in the water with each other while wearing life jacket, escaping underwater from a ‘heli’ in two scenarios – crashing and submerged in the water but not capsized, crashing into the water submerged and capsized as fun, then yes it’s fun.
I love the ‘heli’ crash simulations the best. You would be strapped down in seat belts, wearing survival suit/life jacket equipped with Emergency Breathing System (EBS) which is basically the thing that helps you breathe underwater using your recycled breath. Er, yes, it is something like that. HAHA! I can’t draw shit, so I will try to describe it as simple as I can.
This ‘thing’ has a hose connected to a ‘bag’, mouth piece, nose clips and a simple valve system – where you can set it to open (where you can breathe normally, using the oxygen from the environment/outside) and closed (you breathe using the oxygen inside the ‘bag’. More about that later.) When you need to use it, you take deep breath (after putting on the mouthpiece, nose clips), put the valve in ‘closed’ position and exhale through the hose connecting to the ‘bag’ and continue breathing using your mouth.
During respiration, we would inhale in oxygen (21%) from the environment, then our body uses the oxygen for many organ activities bla bla bla and we exhale out carbon dioxide, oxygen (16%) and some craps bla bla bla. So this 16% oxygen is the one that we exhale into the bag and reuse when we are under water until it cannot be reused anymore. (16% out of 16% and 16% out of 16% dot dot dot) Clever eh?
Now, imagine sitting in the ‘heli’, when the water raising to your chin/chest, activate the EBS (this is when you can see some nervous participants, where they activate the EBS alittle bit too fast, when the water just reached their stomach lol!) then breathe underwater for at least 7 seconds before you unbuckle the seat belts and escape through the windows. This is the 1st scenario. The 2nd scenario is almost the same but with a little bit twist (literally). When the ‘heli’ hit the water and submerge in it, then it would capsize (the operator rolls the ‘heli’ in the water) and when it stops, only then you unbuckle the seat belts and escape through the window.
Erk, why am I telling you this? What with all the science craps? Damn syiok sendiri lah yours truly nyahahahahaaa!
Well, I was too busy to sit down and write something on this blog. Most of the time, I only checked the comments, new posts on friends’ blogs and the news from my mobile. There are some interesting stuffs to blog about, especially what’s in the news. For example,
A(H1N1): Yen Yen tells media to play down coverage
By LESTER KONG
KUALA LUMPUR: The media should down play reporting of the Influenza A(H1N1) virus as “energetic” coverage of the pandemic flu had greatly impacted tour booking numbers to Malaysia.
Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen said Malaysia’s major tourist markets such as China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan had experienced between a 20% and 90% drop in travel bookings to the country in the past two weeks.
Stupid no? This is the kind of people we have in our government. Brain dead ministers. Just the other day we had this one moron insisted to use swine flu instead of H1N1 so it would scare off people. Oh crap! Well, above news is Ng Yen Yen asking the media to spin it like never before, and this is probably an example of a ’spin’.
Woman who died during childbirth a UTM dropout
JOHOR BARU: The woman who was found dead with her newborn baby at a Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) dormitory was a dropout renting a room there.
She had failed the first semester of her fourth year last November, UTM corporate affairs department assistant registrar (media and external relations) Sabri Ahmad said.
“She had been renting a room at the dorm since May 11,” he said, adding that outsiders were allowed to rent rooms at the university on a case-by-case basis.
On Monday, the unmarried woman was found dead after she had given birth to a baby boy. The infant, whose umbilical cord was still attached to his mother, was also lifeless. The bodies were discovered by a warden.
It doesn’t make any sense right? Have you ever noticed the way companies, schools, universities, organisations etc. disassociating themselves from their employers, students, graduates, members in such incidents? In a smaller scale example, perhaps some of us experienced before, where some of our ‘friends’ would feign anonymousity when bad things happened to us so they didn’t have to receive unwanted attentions. Yes, this is how they do it.
Isn’t ridiculous? I am not sure what is the current policy of UTM’s adminsitration but I can be sure when I was studying there, there was no such thing as renting out rooms to outsiders. You couldn’t even bring in your friends, relatives and families if you don’t register at the guard house. In conclusion, no OUTSIDERs are allowed in the campus area.
Now, suddenly UTM has this ‘renting rooms to the outsiders, on at ‘case-by-case’ basis policy? Weird. Why UTM would want to rent the rooms to the outsiders when many of its own students can’t even find a proper place to stay on-campus resorting to rent outside of the campus? This is a very peculiar situation, is this really true?
I smell a stinking, rotten fish. Bullshit never smells better than this. What smell you?
ps: I can’t swim. But I survived. ROTFLMAO! Thanks to the invention of life jacket.
pss: May the poor mother and her child rest in peace.

Flip flop flip flop!
Move to revisit 125 proposals lauded
Jun 22 - KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry’s move to revisit the 125 recommendations by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police in 2005 has received positive response.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein was quoted in a report in the New Sunday Times as saying that, in line with the aim to enhance the image and operations of the police force, he would be retracing the steps to see if the recommendations had been carried out and if they had made an impact.
Without going into details as to which recommendations he wanted to address, Hishammuddin said he was aware the people still had negative perceptions when it came to the police force and that police officers still had grievances that had to be looked into.

Home Minister backtracks on revisiting Royal Commission report on police
PUTRAJAYA, June 23 - Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein said the Home Ministry will come up with a new strategy to boost public confidence in the police force, instead of revisiting the 125 recommendations made by the Royal Commission’s report on the police.
Two days ago, the Home Minister announced that he aims to enhance the image and operations of the force by revisiting the 125 recommendations made by the Royal Commission to enhance the operation and management of the Royal Malaysian Police in 2005.
The Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) was one of the key recommendations made by Royal Commission but was rejected by the police.
Hishammuddin was defensive when asked about IPMC and said it was unfair to target only the police.
“Why are we only looking at the police? That is totally unfair because it is sensational? Because it is something worth to write about?
“But there are a lot of things that you can write as far as KDN is concern and this is what I want to put the record straight within a very short period of time as I lead this ministry,” he said.
Hishammuddin was at Putrajaya International Convention Centre to hold a dialogue with Malaysian heads of mission at the 7th Heads of Missions conference.
The Home Ministry will also be setting up a new international division and research development division.
“The main thing is to ensure that whatever we do, we have to ensure the outcome to be internationally benchmarked. Just having output on paper will be meaningless, we need outcomes where the public can feel it,” he explained.
(Source: Malaysian Insider - no other local news carrying this piece of report, just MI)
I am sorry for Hishammuddin. It seems like much of the good nutrients went to his big nose instead of his brain. What an idiotic ass. Remember this? Not forgetting his infamous kissing the keris orgy fest. Why we always end up having idiots as our cabinet ministers, especially for the Home Ministry and Information Ministry? Why?????!
Our very own local hero, Kerisman.
The sheer arrogance, stupidity, ignorance and heartless stand of our cabinet ministers not only repulsive to snuff the confidence both local and international investors but also the average citizen on the street.
“..will come up with a new strategy to boost public confidence in the police force..”
What new strategy? We don’t need new strategy. Public lost their confidence in the police force because they see no concrete actions taken to improve the force and the tendency of our police force to act with prejudice and bias against opposition parties, leaders and supporters.
The resounding failure to implement and accept the suggestions by an independent royal commission created with an objective to study the problems faced by the police force and to check corruption, abuse of power and other serious malpractices in the police force is definitely one of the reason behind the low public confidence in the public force.
What is a better strategy than to follow the ready suggestions? To find a new strategy to get new suggestions? That’s so confusing. I really don’t understand this logic, well I shall blame myself for not having a big nose like Hishammuddin? Oh, don’t geddit? A high, wide forehead indicates intelligence, so in this case a big nose also indicates intelligence lah no? Big = good mah! Not true ah? Then big nose indicates what? HAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Laugh with me HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
So, Mr KerisHishammuddin Hussein Onn, let me quote you again:
“Why are we only looking at the police? That is totally unfair because it is sensational? Because it is something worth to write about?
Why you ask? First, we are NOT ONLY looking at the police. We are looking at many things – judiciary, rule of law, saccountability, governance etc. – that your miniscule dimwit brain cannot comprehend. Or else you wouldn’t send 900 cops and FRU personnel together with 2 water cannon trucks to “attend” DAP 43rd anniversary dinner, right?
Who in the right mind would send 1 out of every 100 police personnel in the whole of Malaysia to attend a Father’s Day dinner?
2nd, are you so out of touch that Malaysians put security and safety as one of their paramount concerns? Are you so ignorant to address the deepest fears and concerns of Malaysians, regardless of race, religion or political affiliation, at the rise in the crime rate and the fear of crime, with their loss of the fundamental right to safety and security in the streets, public places and even the privacy of their home?
The police force is tasked to look after the safety and security of the citizens, so if we are not looking at the police, who should we look at? Shall we appeal to the triads and gangsters then? Ah Longs? Chicken rice sellers? Sensational or not, that’s beside the point and of course it is something WORTH to write about. Are you saying it’s not worth to write about this issue? What a blittering nincompoop!
“The Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) was one of the key recommendations made by Royal Commission but was rejected by the police.
Hishammuddin was defensive when asked about IPCMC and said it was unfair to target only the police.”
Why the recommendation to set up IPCMC was rejected? You did not provide any concrete reason, so please explain. Why so defensive when asked about IPCMC if our police force is efficient, effective and honest? What’s is so bad about having an independent body to work as a check and balance to the police force?
Wait, I thought we ARE being fair to target only the police when we talk about IPCMC because it’s relevant to them? We can’t target others for example, foreign maids and their employers when we talk about IPCMC right? Not unless we are taking about a day off in a week suggestion. Get a dictionary and look up the word ‘relevant’, please?
Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein said the Home Ministry will come up with a new strategy to boost public confidence in the police force….
The Home Ministry will also be setting up a new international division and research development division.
“Just having output on paper will be meaningless, we need outcomes where the public can feel it.”
Stop wasting our time and money on setting up a “new international division and research development division”. International division my foot. To boost up public confidence and gain their trust in our police force, you should do only one thing – to implement the recommendations by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police and we will definitely FEEL it.
Of course we need outcomes, not just output on paper and that’s exactly why we want the recommendations (on paper) by the commission to be carried out, you fool! Why we need another “research body” which will provide more or less the same recommendations in the end? How are we going to “internationally benchmark the outcomes’” when simple thing like implement what has been suggested cannot be carried out? Just shut the crap up if you can’t do the job, Hishammuddin!
Well, if any of you have been paying attention to Hishammuddin’s career, all the ministries he was involved, you will observe that he had not contributed anything for the betterment of the ministry. He had all along been warming the seat, saying the right thing to his followers, polishing the leaders and also using the heritage line to advance his career.
What an useless piece of junk, just like his uncle. Hey, it runs in the family, maybe a disease gene passing through the generations? Oh so lucky, wheeeeeeeeee!
