No plastic rule may cost jobs

Read this report on TheStar online today that 1,580 people may eventually lose their job due to Penang's Government intended ruling of no plastic bag ruling from 1st January 2011. We all know that finding job these days is not easy but lets look into a broader dimension of the ruling. All over the world are calling for Save Nature and at one time or another something has to be done to answer that call. Chloroflourocarbon (CFC) has been one of the cause of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere and steps are taken to reduce the rate of depletion and one of them is reducing CFC usage and maybe production too. Do you think reducing this will affect people who work in factory that produces such chemicals?

Plastics will take years to disintegrate and might not disintegrate at all. The more plastic we use and throw away will be additional years of disintegration of plastics which will add more problem to nature. Maybe we have been very comfortable of plastic bags for its light, easy and practical usage and we don't seem want to part away with it. But looking into the consequences and after effect of usage we must get out of this comfort zone at one time or another. The faster the better to conserve nature and our future generations. Campaign of proper disposal will not work because most of these campaign falls into deaf ears.

The action taken by two state government Selangor and Penang should be praised for they are looking towards the future and not present. We can't do anything now regarding damages caused by the use of non degradable materials but we can do something to reduce the impact and steps has to be taken now. It might be a harsh ruling but we have to accept it for the future of nature and our generations.

The concern of Malaysian Plastic Manufacturers Association (Northern Branch) do have some basis on loss of employment but the time frame given by the Penang Government gives ample time for these 1,580 people to look for another job. Are we going to save jobs of 1,580 people or our kids and millions of future generations of human lives, flora and fauna? These 1,580 people can start looking for alternatives of venturing into the biodegradable material market as a replacement of plastic. Please be more open to changes.

GEORGE TOWN: Some 1,580 people may eventually lose their jobs as a result of the expansion of the no plastic bag ruling in Penang from Jan 1.

Malaysian Plastic Manufac turers Association northern branch chairman Willy Tan said he expected those employed in the plastic bag manufacturing line by its members to lose their jobs.

“When consumers are not using our plastic bags every day next year, these jobs will vanish,” Tan said during a dialogue between 12 association representatives and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng at the latter’s office in Komtar yesterday.

Merit Industries Sdn Bhd director E.E. Lim, whose company is a major plastic bag producer in Kamunting, said her sales to three hypermarkets in Penang had dropped from six million bags monthly to only three million.

“What are we going to eat when Penangites are no longer using plastic bags? The 20 sen penalty may be a small amount but it is not cheap to some people,” she said, referring to the amount shoppers had to pay for a plastic bag.

Association president Lim Kok Boon said the ruling would only burden the poor as they would have to pay 40 sen for each garbage bag to discard their rubbish.

“A shopping bag costs four sen each and they used to get it for free from hypermarkets and supermarkets. In the absence of plastic carrier bags, consumers will have to pay for bin liners and this will increase the usage of garbage bags.

“A study in Ireland, the first country to stop giving out free plastic bags, found a 90% drop in plastic bag usage in one month but the usage of garbage bags increased by 400% instead,” he said.

Kok Boon said plastic shopping bags were also more convenient for consumers to tie up their garbage.

Guan Eng asked the association for a report on the possible impact of the ruling to the industry, adding that Penang wanted to know the amount of reduction in revenue and job losses.

“We are not banning plastic bags but we want Penangites to reduce their usage. This is a policy we must undertake and I don’t deny it’ll be a political cost to us,” he said, adding that consumers would take as many shopping bags as they pleased when they were free but being charged for it would make them think of the costs involved.

All hypermarkets, supermarkets, departmental stores, pharmacies, fast food restaurants, nasi kandar outlets and convenience stores, including chain stores and those at petrol kiosks, in Penang will have to adhere to the ruling daily from Jan 1 next year.

Nitrate In Urine - What?

It has been one week that my youngest son was complaining of stomach pain and had been vomiting especially after consuming food whether its liquid or solid. This is his second experience, the first happens about a months ago but recovered after visiting the clinic for medication.

The second wave hit him during the night on the eve of Deepavali (luckily I do not celebrate) and took him to a private clinic past midnight. Luckily there is a 23 hours clinic at Sri Petaling and is on the list of my organisation's panel clinic. He was prescribed with Maxalon, Buscopan and Mixture of Magnesium Trisylicate.

However his condition did not get any better. So I decided to take him again two days later to Serdang Hospital emergency clinic at night. Of course the wait was terrible. We arrived at 8.30 and at about 10.30 only he was called in for consultation. He was diagnosed as having General Stomach Pain and was prescribed the same medication but this time the Magnesium is in tablet form.

He did not get any better too.

I was thinking of going to the private hospital since I am holding a Ceupacs care membership card. So I enquire at their emergency contact number and found out it is not easy to get  treatment at their panel hospitals because all treatment have to be given the green light by Ceupacscare first. They have to see whether the particular hospital can diagnose and treat that particular case.  Now I am wondering whats the purpose of me paying monthly until infinity and not getting back any proper service when I needed them most. If I were to meet with an accident and on emergency alert, I have to get the OK letter from CEUPACSCARE first before getting any treatment. It means I die first before CEUPACS CARE give the permisison to the hospital to treat me.

I then decided to take him to HUKM Primer at Bandar Tasik Selatan instead. Luckily there was not many patient and treatment is quite swift. He went for some clinical test including urinalysis and the result showed that he had urinary infection. There is excess of nitrate in his urine. He was only given antibiotics.

What is nitrate in urine? I made an internet search and found this So now I learn something new and further reading I read THIS.

Gas Cylinders- Talking Of Expiry

I read about gas cylinders that might be expired but still being used on homes of consumers. This is a safety hazard and accident waiting to be happened. Read Life's Happenings. 

After reading the blog I checked the gas cylinder in my home. Saw some data printed on the outside of one of the handle stem. The date the cylinder was produced is stated as 199 and an unclear figure that I think is 2. So that gas cylinder was produced in 1992. The line below stated as tarikh diuji. It is 199 and the last figure was very unclear and I can't make it as 2,3 or 8. I guessed based on the top markings. If it was tested in 1992 then the cylinder now is 17 years old. If it was produced in 1993 then it is 16 years old. Finally if it was produced in 1998 then it is 11 years old now. 

As posted by Life's Happenings, a gas cylinder will expire after 11 years of usage. Whatever the year I think the life of the cylinder must have been expired or based on the last data (1998) it will expire or had expired if it was produced in the first quater of the year. You can guess which gas company that supplied me the cylinder based on the colour. 

The question is, are gas companies being regulated by the authority on usage of expired gas cylinders in homes. Or if being regulated but due to Malaysia Boleh , "never mind la, tong masih ok. Tak boleh meletup la." That is also what the distributor will 'assure' you when they sell or door delivered to us consumers. 

School Boys Playing Truant At National Sports Complex

I was at the Information Centre (Sports Snooker Centre) of National Sports complex waiting for my wife coming on the LRT. Saw a group of secondary school boys in school uniform hanging around the area near the Bukit Jalil LRT station. I am sure these boys did not go to school while back home their parent might be thinking how hard their child is studying in school. I suspect these boys (all Malays) are from nearby schools. They are wearing different badges which means they might come from different schools. There are three secondary schools around the sports complex. 

At Seri Petaling there are two schools and one at Bukit Jalil. However did not see anyone of them smoking but who knows. Whether they smoke or not, they should be in class at this hour (10.00 a.m) because there are no sports activities at the complex which migh involve school children.

Hope this posting is read by teachers from the three schools around the National Sports complex and make spot checks. Who knows among them is their student. They might be just hanging around until school isover before going home pretending in front of their parents, to be exhausted from learning. But what if they involve in unacceptable activities which can bring a bad name to the respective schools.

This might be a new word or a new gadget for most of us and for me I found it while browsing for books at Amazon. (Scroll down this blog to go to Amazon). This new gadget is called Amazon Kindle that function as an e-book reader. Read more HERE.

Took this description below from Wikipedia.

Amazon Kindle is a software and hardware platform for reading electronic books (e-books), developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126, first launched in the United States on November 19, 2007.^[1] Two hardware devices, known as "Kindle" and "Kindle 2," support this platform, as does an iPhone application called "Kindle for iPhone."

The Kindle hardware devices use an electronic paper display and download content over Amazon Whispernet using the Sprint EVDO network. Kindle hardware devices can be used without a computer, and Whispernet is accessible without any fee.^[2] These devices also provide free internet access to Wikipedia.^[3]

On March 3, 2009, Amazon.com launched an application entitled Kindle for iPhone in the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch owners to read Kindle content. Through a technology termed "Whispersync," customers can keep their place across Kindle hardware devices and other mobile

The Amazon Kindle has the following advantages:

• Slim: Just over 1/3 of an inch, as thin as most magazines
• Lightweight: At 10.2 ounces, lighter than a typical paperback
• Wireless: 3G wireless lets you download books right from your Kindle, anytime, anywhere; no monthly fees, service plans, or hunting for Wi-Fi hotspots
• Books in Under 60 Seconds: Get books delivered in less than 60 seconds; no PC required
• Improved Display: Reads like real paper; now boasts 16 shades of gray for clear text and even crisper images
• Longer Battery Life: 25% longer battery life; read for days without recharging

• Large Selection: Over 245,000 books plus U.S. and international newspapers, magazines, and blogs available
• Low Book Prices: New York Times Best Sellers and New Releases $9.99, unless marked otherwise

I am not sure whether this new e-reader which from what I read is more convenient that carrying a laptop to read e-books, has landed on our shore.

Should I Dedicate A New Blog To Paintball?

Ever since I played paintball, I am getting attached to this extreme sports.

Hence, I am dreaming to write a book about it for players-to-be, and as it is, in Bahasa Melayu.

When I registered with Werdna Hol forum, a member suggested a magazine on paintball. We don't have one in Malaysia. Go there to read.

Arguments whether physical magazines or e-gazines.

Got good readership distribution?

etc., etc., etc., Go read.

Now after surfing many blogs writing about paintball, I think I want dedicate a blog to paintball too, to share my experience and what I read about paintball. Maybe a start for an e-zine in future. If publish e-zine, readers must subscribe la. Make some money lor. So that I can still play paintball.

I am undecided whether I am going to stay here and mix the posting with other topics or create a new blog. I can also recreate and dedicate my other blog My Sport into a paintball blog

What is earth day?

In simple term it is a collective effort to save energy for future generation. Thats what I understand. I have blogged about this topic for the last two year.

Earth Day is one of two observances, both held annually during spring in thenorthern hemisphere, and autumn in the southern hemisphere. These are intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment. The United Nations celebrates an Earth Day each year on the March equinox, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969. A second Earth Day, which was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970, is celebrated in many countries each year on April 22. - Wikipedia.

How People Market Their Product

Last night I attended a FREE Forex Seminar at the Hilton in Petaling Jaya. I came across the advertisement in The Sun and registered as instructed. 

I arrived a bit late since I left home after office and on the way stuck in the jam at the exit to Jalan Utara from Federal Highway. Then my time was again was wasted finding The Hilton. Of course I know where Hilton is but I do not know the way to it. Its a normal situation for someone new to certain areas and place. But being stuck in the jam and lost on the was was not the real problem. The actual problem was I was holding back my call of nature. I have no opportunity to escape the situation since I was on the inner lane of a jam packed exit. Then again I missed the Caltex at PJ becauese of the position I was in. At last I reached PJ Hilton and rushed to the Gents. Fuuuuu.....relieved. But that is not the main point I am going to blog about in this posting. 

Its about marketing. I see for myself how marketer market their product. The modus operandi from my perspective are same. Whether its roadside peddlars or high end promotions. If one were to walk the streets and watch the medicine man especially will always start with impressing those present the good things that his product provide. The general tagline will be his product is the best among all products in the market. Peddlars selling sexual related product especially for men, will always exhibit pictures of beautifil sexy half naked or naked women. Men will be those with six pack abdomen and well endowed sexual organ. After he succeeded capturing the mind of the onlooker then only he will market his product. Usually there will offers that he claim you will not get elsewhere.  The word FREE is a real catch and sometimes can be a trap. 

I was trapped once with the word FREE. It was during the last PC Fair. I was looking for a laptop backpack and at one of the booth selling backpacks I saw the advertisement FREE one year insurance for laptop with purchase of their backpack. I was quite impressed since I had just bought a new netbook. I bought the backpack that has a lifetime warranty. I was told that if there is any defect in manufacturing, I can send it back for repair. Good enough the holding handle split a week after that. HoweverI have not sent back the item to the company. 

Back to the FREE Insurance. After I paid for the item purchased, I inquired about the FREE Insurance. Then only I realised that the FREE Insurance is only for laptop bought during that PC Fair. So I made a silly mistake buying that backpack out of carelessness. The word FREE most of the time can be deceiving. 

Back to Hilton. I arrived about half an hour late and the FREE Seminar had already started. However I sat through till the end. The speaker, a prominent and successful Hedge Fund Manager and hadgone through the mill of hardship in life before becoming what he is now. He talk impressively about the benefits and advantages of investing in Forex market citing examples of his successful students who graduated from his seminars.  

At the end of the FREE seminar come the time to sell his product. It was a seminar cum course on how to trade in Forex. I am not sure whether the number of seats available is limited to 15 as he said that seats are limited and the first fifteen who filled up the arranged seats at the back will get a place in his nexst class. Those who rushed to the seats were being baited by the offers worth more than RM33,000. After the seats were filled up, he opened a second chance to those who are still seating in front and with another bait. This time his offer was the fee for the seminar. He said he is not charging the full amount but slashed it to the last amount of RM6,000, which he said he will not charge that amount but RM 498.00. And that bait attracted a few more. So now the figure is has bloated to more than 15. The first group had already exceeded the required number and I was asking to myself. Does the limited 15 seats is real or just a tactic to get participants. Psychologically, demand will be high if supply is low. 

Thats Theory of Economics. He is using this tactic. 

Then only he revealed that the cost for the Forex course will be RM 498 per month for 12 months. So he is right that he will not charge participants RM 6,000.00 but just RM 5976.00. Of course during trading, participants will get the returns of his investments but there is a Disclaimer in his advertisement in  The Sun; There is a risk of loss in ForexTrading. But who don't want to be rich?

UNISEL Chancellor

Hmm.. so Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor is the Chancellor of UNISEL?. How linient PR government is. If it was the other way round, Datin Seri Rosmah's tenure as Chancellor would have been terminated as soon as the take over of the new government. 

Nostalgic 100 Years of My College- KSAH

Alor Setar.

Yesterday I visited my former school Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid on its 100 years celebration. The school was set up in December 1908 and grew up to be one of the premier school in Malaysia, grooming many leaders of Malaysia. Among those were high ranking officers and administratior of the country. When I was still in the school, I witness the Diamond Jubilee Celebration in 1968 and then I was in Form Two.

It is a very nostalgic occasion to be back where I was educated and to look back into the days when I was a student and walking from class to class where I studied. Those memories will remain until the end of my life.

Bought some souvenirs as a memory of the centenarian school and it includes: a T Shirt, car stickers, Tie clip, Mug and a Tie.
