IDRIS JALA AGAMA KRISTIAN?

Sebenarnya Idris Jala adalah kristian dari suku kaum Kelabit di Bario, Sarawak.Kalau ikutkan pada nama tentulah kita merasakan beliau seorang muslim dari suku-suku terdapat di Sarawak yang pelbagai.

Idris Jala was born in 1958 as a member of the Kelabit tribe from the Bario highlands in Sarawak, Malaysia. His name sounds like a Malay name but Idris Jala is not a Malay. He is a Christian. Yes, a man with a Malay name is a Christian. Surprise ? Not in Sabah or Sarawak, whereby the native with their first name in English is a Christian but a native with his or her first name in Malay is not necessary a Muslim.
Back to Idris Jala. In 1982, he graduated with a Bachelor Degree in development studies/management in University Sains Malaysia, winning the Bishen Kaur Award as the top student in development studies. He joined Sarawak Shell in the same year and, thanks to a Shell scholarship, earned a Masters degree in industrial relations from the University of Warwick, England, in 1986.

He was appointed human resources advisor of Shell International in the Netherlands in 1989, before returning to Shell Sarawak four years later as head of human resources planning. In 1998 he became chairman and managing director of Shell Sri Lanka before being transferred to London in 2000 to become the company's vice-president of business development consultancy and retail marketing.

Idris Jala is currently the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Malaysia Airlines.

PERPADUAN MELAYU+ISLAM=PRASANGKA CINA

Tertarik dengan kupasan panjang lebar Ustaz Ridzuan Tee,di dalam Mingguan Malaysia Ahad, betapa akhbar –akhbar cina sangat tebal prasangka perkaumannya dan kiasu.Antara akhbar yang dikatakan beliau terutamanya adalah China Press,Sin Chew Jit Poh serta Nanyang Siang Pau.Isu-isu hak keistimewaan orang Melayu dan isu Agama Islam menjadi mainan sensasi bagi menarik pembaca setia mereka.Kerajaan terlalu bertoleransi dengan pihak yang tidak sedar diri ini.Apa lagi yang mereka kehendaki? Sudahlah menguasai ekonomi, sehinggakan peniaga kecil Melayu yang ingin bertapak dalam perniagaan pun begitu mudah diterajang keluar, kerana kekuatan mereka menguasai ekonomi, begitu berakar umbi semenjak sekian lama.Politik pula, mereka menjadi penentu kemenangan calon.Orang Melayu sudah cukup banyak berkorban segala-galanya, hatta negara ini sekalipun.Diberi betis hendakkan paha. Cukuplah berbalah wahai pemimpin UMNO dan Pas, kita hanya menang sorak kampong tergadai!! Ingatlah bahawa Melayu tidak lemah.Jangan biarkan 13 Mei berulang kembali!!!!
Bersatulah atas nama Islam dan Allah swt.

ATTACK ON KEDAH!!!

Adun Keadilan DUN Lunas,Mohd Radzhi Salleh keluar Keadilan bersama dengan pemangku ketua Bahagian Keadilan Lunas,Jamaluddin Abu Hassan.Adakah ini seperti “Empire Strike Back” selepas Speaker DUN Kedah mengambil tindakan untuk mengosongkan DUN Siputeh atas tindakan ADUN BN,Abu Hasan Sarif yang tidak menghadiri sidang dewan?.Semacam adanya link di sini.Adakah tangan-tangan belakang yang mengawal boneka-boneka ini yang seringkali menggunakan alasan “tidak lagi percaya kepada pucuk pimpinan PKR pusat” sebagai alasan wajib untuk keluar dari PKR? Dapat kontrak lumayan? ,sidang akhbar di Luala Lumpur? Mengapa?
Tidak dinafikan,pilihanraya DUN Permatang Pasir di kawasan kubu Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim adalah terlalu hampir dengan kawasan pengundian tersebut.Sebarang “gegaran” di kawasan berdekatan akan turut menyumbang kepada impak pola pengundian dan menarik perhatian pengundi. Kenapa terdapat terlalu banyak kebetulan di dalam political game sekarang ini? Dato’ Seri Azizan,Menteri Besar Kedah, perlu lebih fokus kepada permasalahan Keadilan dan DAP, kerana ADUN mereka ini ternyata menjadi duri dalam daging yang akhirnya mampu meruntuhkan kerajaan sepertimana berlakunya percubaan dan game yang serupa di Perak.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lunas state assemblyman Mohd Radzhi Salleh has announced he had quit Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) to become an independent member of the Kedah legislative assembly.
Radzhi, who is chairman of the Tourism, Community Development and Human Resources Committee, said he would retain the post of state executive councillor as the appointment was made by the Sultan of Kedah.

DUN SIPUTEH:TINJAUAN PENGUNDI@PERSEPSI

Adakah pilihanraya semula akan diadakan lagi?.Kali ini mungkin di DUN Siputeh,Kubang Pasu,Kedah pula. Ini kerana YB kawasan berkenaan iaitu Datuk Abu Hasan Sarif, yang menguasai DUN berkenaan semenjak empat penggal berturut-turut di dapati telah dengan sengaja tidak menghadiri sidang DUN Kedah sebanyak 2 kali berturut-turut iaitu pada 9 April dan 9 Ogos tanpa kebenaran Speaker.Menurut undang-undang DUN melalui Artikel 51 .mana-mana wakil rakyat yang tidak hadir siding DUN dua kali berturut-turut ,tempatnya hendaklah dikosongkan.

Bagaimana tinjauan pengundi di DUN Siputeh?

Saya telah menjalankan sedikit tinjauan terhadap pengundi-pengundi di DUN tersebut,dan nampaknya sedikit membimbangkan untuk BN terus menguasai semula jika pilihanraya diadakan.Ini kerana rata-rata pengundi termasuk pengundi (undi penentu) iaitu masyarakat Siam di kawasan berkenaan iaitu di Padang Sera, jelas kurang menyenangi sikap YB berkenaan yang menurut mereka sejak akhir-akhir ini agak sukar untuk ditemui.Mungkin ada sebab lain entahlah..
Namun, dari cakap-cakap kedai kopi dikawasan berkenaan di dapati perasaan tidak senang sudah mula timbul terhadap YB berkenaan.Ada sumber pengundi dan dari cakap-cakap rahsia umum, memaklumkan bahawa YB terlibat dalam menguruskan kontrak di Negeri Sembilan…. (tak dak masa kot!)
Rumah penduduk yang ditimpa bencana alam juga tidak dilawati,seperti sebuah rumah yang ditimpa pokok yang agak teruk…dengar kata beliau orang lama dan pengundi setia UMNO...
Disamping itu,mereka juga memberitahu bahawa perasaan tidak puas hati tersebut juga adalah tentang pembinaan sebuah Sekolah Menengah Sains yang baru dibina berdekatan kawasan YB berkenaan sahaja (berdekatan Teluk Tenggiri) di Kubang Pasu tetapi tidak di bina di Pekan Kodiang, (pekan kecil bersempadanan dengan Negeri Perlis). Sedangkan kawasan Pekan berkenaan memerlukan suntikan pembangunan semenjak dari 4 penggal yang lalu…
Itulah politik…persepsi masyarakat memang segala-galanya, mungkin dakwaan pengundi-pengundi di DUN berkenaan tidak 100% tepat, tetapi harus dingat politik emosi memainkan peranan besar di negara kita,contohnya adalah PRU yang lalu…
Ambillah iktibar kerana ramai yang berebut-rebutkan jawatan berkenaan…apabila sudah dapat tidak tahu menjaganya pula….dunia oh dunia…

JERLUN: The Barisan Nasional state assemblyman, who came under fire for being absent from two consecutive state assemblies this year, will leave it to the Election Commission to decide on his fate as a wakil rakyat.
Datuk Abu Hassan Sarif, the representative of the Kota Siputeh constituency, said he had also explained his absenteeism from the April 19 and Aug 9 state assembly sittings to Kedah Umno liaision committee deputy chairman Datuk Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah.Abu Hassan, who is also Jerlun Umno division chairman, said he was ill and was unable to attend the Aug 9 sitting."On that morning (Aug 9), I was preparing myself for the sitting and I felt pain in my chest.

kontraktor @ umno?

Menghadiri sidang umno bahagian kangar pada Ogos 2009, menjadikan saya berasa sangat khuatir tentang masa depan parti umno kini.sangat menyedihkan apabila kebanyakan perwakilan terpilih dan jawatankuasa bahagian merupakan kontraktor.Menghadiri sidang dengan berkereta mewah dan membincangkan tentang projek yang tidak berkesudahan...menjadikan saya sering bertanya-tanya dan hampir pasti bahawa UMNO kini tidak mungkin lagi dapat diselamatkan dengan betapa banyak opportunis yang berlegar di dalamnya.Tiada lagi semangat mempertahankan bangsa.Palsu belaka dan suka bermuka-muka.Langsung tidak menginsafi betapa bangsa dan agama kini terlalu lemah dipermainkan...

SELF ACCEPTANCE POINTS

Berusahalah selagi termampu,namun janganlah pula lupa menyedari betapa perlunya menerima diri kita seadanya,menghargai keupayaan kita sendiri(limitasi ,had keupayaan kita), dan menjadi sahabat karib diri sendiri,menyedari bahawa kita adalah insan yang masih diberikan ruang oleh yang maha kuasa menyedut udaraNya...

UPSR IS COMING!!

I hope that,all the pupils really work extra hard to achieve 5A's in coming UPSR exam.There's lots of revision to be done and full concentrations is needed here.Hitch your wagon to a star-Emerson.
No reason to postpone exams over A(H1N1)

PERSEDIAAN SEBELUM PEPERIKSAAN

Exam seringkali menyebabkan kita berasa tidak selesa dan resah.Namun ingatlah bahawa exam bukanlah penamat hidup kita,...alang-alang menyeluk pekasam biar sampai ke pangkal lengan.
KITA PASTI BOLEH!!!





Menurut pengalaman saya, sebelum peperiksaan eloklah :
1.buat nota kecil dalam bentuk peta minda,pastikan ringkas dan padat kerana akan memudahkan kita membuat rujukan nanti.
2.Guna pena yang banyak warna untuk highlightkan keywords bagi memudahkan kita ingat topik tertentu.
3.Pastikan nota tersebut mobile,mudah dibawa kemana-mana sahaja.
4.Belajarlah relaks dan jangan panik ,kerana jika anda panik dan tidak sabar serta terlalu excited,anda pasti tidak akan mampu mengingati fakta secara maksimum.

UPDATE:

Practical Exam Tips

1) Pens and Pencils

Some exams require the use of PENS, while others have to be completed in PENCIL. Make sure you know what you should be using in every paper before you go in.

2) Websites

All the major examination boards have websites these days, usually with sample papers and examiners' reports that you can download. These sites are well worth a visit as they may offer a lot of sound advice. The examiners' report, for instance, can give you an idea of exactly what it is that they are looking for.

3) Take Spares

Take spare pens and pencils just in case the one you are using stops working.

4) On time not In time

Allow for problems, hold-ups and traffic jams on the way and make sure you arrive with time to spare so that you can go in calmy rather than in a frantic rush.

5) It may sound stupid, but ...

Don't forget to read the instructions and make sure you know what you are being asked to do. You should go into the exam well aware of what is expected of you, but you should always check. Don't, however, waste a lot of time on this.

6) Honesty- 1

A language exam is not a test of honesty and you will not be penalised if you tell the examiners that you are CANCER rather than SAGITTARIUS in a written question simply because you are sure of how to spell it. Language Tests are quite simply that; they are designed to test your language and not your honesty- don't worry about lying or being economical with the truth in order to show off your accurate language use.

7) Zzzzz

Try to get a good night's sleep the night before any exam.

8) Hangovers

Try to avoid alcohol the night before an exam, especially in quantity, as a bad hangover is among the very worst things to be suffering from in an exam room.

Writing Tips

9) Writing- 1

Don't carried away and overload your writing with too many obvious connectives and contrastives; if every sentence has two or three such words or expressions, then the writing can seem strained and artificial. Remember- you can try too hard as well as not hard enough.

10) Writing- 2

Write on alternate lines (leaving every second line blank) so that you have space to make changes when checking through your work.

11) Writing- 3

Always credit your sources in academic writing, even when you are referring to ideas rather than actually quoting.

Multiple Choice Tips

12) Psychological Warfare

Examiners can choose the same letter successively for the correct answer. After three consecutive answers with the same letter, many students may well start to feel confused and worried. Eventually, many candidates will start changing their answers simple because they don't believe that examiners would have half a dozen of more questions with the same letter one after the other. They can and sometimes do; this is a real test of your comprehension and reduces the possibility of scoring by guessing.

13) Right word, wrong answer

With multiple choice comprehension questions based on a text, a simple trick is to take obvious and prominent words from the text and put them in an incorrect option. Seeing a word or phrase from the text is not enough; these questions are designed to test comprehension not recognition of a word from the passage.

Speaking Tips

14) Speaking- 1

Don't bother learning speeches and trying to say them verbatim (word-for-word) in interviews; examiners will usually spot this without too much difficulty and mark you down for it. It is very hard to do this and sound natural.

15) Speaking- 2

Do think over your answers to common questions about yourself. This an opportunity for examiners to get a general picture of your language level, especially your ability to talk about past, present and future experiences, so run these thing over in your mind and try to include corresponding verb forms accordingly.

16) Speaking- 3

If you are asked to talk about or describe a photograph, don't get too hung up on describing every visible detail. Instead, be prepared to speak in general terms about it and how the theme it illustrates affects you.

Listening Tips

17) Listening- 1

You are often given false information first that sounds as if it could be the answer to the question. An instance of this is where the information given matches one of the answers, but does not fit the criterion given in the question- the person could be talking about last week, say, when the question asks about next week. The correct information usually, but not always, comes afterwards.

18) Listening- 2

Nearly right is not the same thing as right; examiners often give information that sounds more or less correct, but is in some way unsatifactory. Adverbs and modals are often used to send you the wrong way; the listening text might use 'She may well be late' and the question 'She will be late'- this is not an exact match and consequently could easily be the wrong answer. It has to be 100% accurate to be right.

19) Listening- 3

In longer listening passages, they often try to lull you into losing concentration by having quite long sections where no information relevant to the exercise is given, then out of the blue they hit you with a couple of answers in quick succession.

20) Listening- 4

Although most longer listening passages begin with an introduction that lets you get into the flow before they start testing you, you cannot depend on this; the first word could in theory be the answer to the first question.

21) Listening- 5

Examiners will often place a word directly from the passage in a wrong answer and use a synonym *[syn.] in the correct answer; check the meaning and do not rely on word recognition to get the right answer.

Examiners & Exam Myths

22) Examiners- 1

Examiners are, by and large, sadistic so-and-sos. Their sole aim in life is to trap you and catch you out.

23) Examiners- 2

In multiple choice exercises, examiners have been known to use the same letter for the correct answer several times in succession (a, a, a, a, a, etc). This is unsettling and can make students worry that their answers must be wrong; it does not. I once gave a Cambridge Proficiency group an entire Reading Comprehension exercise (25 questions) with the same answer for all. The students started changing their answers and choosing wrong ones because they couldn't believe that this was possible. While I have never seen it, there is nothing to stop them doing it. They are there to test your understanding and will play psychological games to make you doubt yourself, and this is one little trick they use. It also has the advantage of reducing the possibly of inaccurate scores achieved by guessing, as few would guess in a regular pattern, but would try to vary their answers across the range of possibilities. From their perspective, grouping a few consecutive answers with the same letter makes sense.

24) Examiners- 3

Many students and teachers try to analyse exams and work out patterns. In one Cambridge First Certificate exercise, there were usually between four and six correct sentences. Then one year there were only two. Patterns may help, but beware of relying on them; examiners will change them without warning.

25) Exam Myth 1

Apparently, a philosophy student got a first class grade for a paper which had "Is this a question?" as an essay title. Instead of going into the nature of questions, etc, he or she simply wrote "Yes, if this is an answer." Perhaps you should read Exam Myth 2 before feeling encouraged to do likewise.

26) Exam Myth 2

When asked "What is courage?", another philosphy student wrote "This." He or she failed; even though it was, indeed, courageous to stake their degree on such an answer, it was not held to have answered the question. The answer was an example and not an explanation.

27) Exam Myth 3

An Oxford undergraduate, or so the story goes, discovered an ancient regulation that allowed a gentleman to send the invigilator to buy a quart (Two pints or 1.14 litres) of ale (beer) during the exam for the student's refreshment. He duly ordered it and produced his evidence and was bought the beer. The following day, the invigilator approached him with a hat, gown and sword, which another old regulation stipulated had to be worn at all times. So, the student had to to sit through the exam in a stuffy hall on a hot day in a heavy hat, etc.

28) Exam Myth 4

A student used amphetamines (a chemical stimulant) to stay awake to study all night in the days leading up to an exam, hoping to make up for lost time. Feeling shattered on the morning of the exam, they took a huge dose to make sure they were bright and alert and didn't fall asleep halfway through. Throughout the exam, they scribbled away frantically; writing page after page. Unfortunately, they'd taken so much of the stimulant that they failed to notice that they had written everything on the same side of paper, which meant that instead of handing in a dozen sheets of paper, they had one so covered in writing that it had turned black.

SOUR SUGAR!

KPDNHEP must do something..there always a trend nowadays .It's like a trick to increase the price of sugar and cooking oils before festive season.

Sugar shortage emerging

By IZATUN SHARI

PETALING JAYA: There has been shortage of sugar supply at small sundry and grocery shops in the outskirts of Selangor the past two weeks.

Consumers in Sekinchan, Tanjong Karang and Kuala Selangor were saying that retailers are claiming that they could not get the commodity.

Rahim Md Sherif, 19, of Tanjong Karang went from one shop to another looking for sugar but to no avail.

He had to call his sibling, who lived in Klang and Kuala Lumpur, to buy small packs of sugar.

Another complainant, who declined to be named, said it was difficult to cook and even make drinks for her schoolgoing children as she had been out of sugar for the past few days.
