Malaysia has great potential in medical tourism

KUALA LUMPUR: Medical tourism has been identified as having the potential of being a revenue generator for the country due to the response shown by foreigners who seek quality healthcare services.
Foreigners come to Malaysia for medical tourism due to the low costs of healthcare services, complemented by existence of excellent medical technology and infrastructure.
The outcome of a survey conducted by a foreign-based body reveals that heart procedures conducted in Malaysia are 10 times cheaper than those conducted in the United States.
Indonesian tourists comprise the highest number of those seeking Malaysian healthcare services followed by visitors from Arab nations.
Efforts by Malacca to boost the number of Indonesian tourists seeking healthcare services in the state appear to be bearing fruit as more Indonesians are switching their attention from Singapore to Malacca for such services.
Statistics show that in 2010, some 60% of 280,000 tourists to Malaysia went to Malacca for medical treatment while Kuala Lumpur is the destination of choice for Arab tourists. According to KPJ Healthcare (KPJ) managing director Datin Paduka Siti Sa'adiah Sheikh Bakir, Arab visitors made up 8% of tourists who sought healthcare services at the group's hospitals.
KPJ is Malaysia's largest group of private hospitals.
“Many foreigners choose Malaysia for elective medical procedures particularly cancer, orthopaedic and cosmetic treatment,” she said after launching the Arab Community Day at KPJ Tawakal Hospital here recently.
As the Arabs prefer Malaysia as their destination for shopping, Siti Sa'adiah said that it was time for Malaysia to promote the medical tourism sector aggressively. “KPJ has been actively promoting its services to the Arab community for more than 10 years now,” she said. - Bernama

Indian Gangs In Malaysia -Deep Down

Indian Gangs In Malaysia -Deep Down Secret society in Malaysia. Anywhere we go, secret society exist. Who actually started all this and the history of it remains unknown. What does it all mean?Today, with a limited time we have, i will explain the history of Indian Gangs in Malaysia and how it all starts. A few Indian guys will be gathering in a bus stop or a nearby drain everyday . Usually they might even skip school if they’re studying and will be ever present to join the loitering session. Together with them will be few packs of cigarettes. Now, day after day , their friends will grow to a bigger number. They buy a RM 5 color spray, and then will spray out something on the side of the drain or on top of the bus stop to mark their group. You see, calling the group a name is one thing. The other word is also seemingly interesting.The name can differ ranging from things to numbers. Usually in Malaysia, it is interesting enough to see all the secret society members loves mathematics so much that they name their group after a number. The real meaning behind the numbers is too astronomical to explain. Forgive me. Few famous secret societies in Malaysia , Geng 24 , Geng 36 , Geng 21 , Geng 08. Now, if you’re soft , i suggest you try to get a membership in Geng 9. They first make out a name , take Longkang for an example. So, Longkang is their name. But then, there are few identities that can follow. a) Geng Longkang b) Longkang Kaingeh b) Longkang Set d) Tiga Longkang So, the name had been created. Next they need to establish a place. Let’s say there is a nearby field near the drain, it will be their field. So, everyone should start recognizing it as Longkang field. Every member have to work their ass out day and night to keep members from other secret society out from their field. If there is any intruders, immediately they will be identified and a fight will broke out. After a few fights, usually the gang’s will be able to establish them self. After these few fights, the gang would be able to identify who are the person who will fight and the other’s who wont. The cowards will be rejected and only the toughest stays. Each of them will be recognized with a nick name. Usually they will name them self after things for their first name and others will opt for animal names.For an example: 1) ‘Vetu’ Kumar 2) ‘Rok’ Mani 3) ‘Mettu’ Murugan 3) Pandi (Pig) 4) Nandu (Crab) 5) Tiger Next, after naming and establishing them self, next comes money collection.Every member have to pay a certain amount every month as a membership fee. A one time registration fee is subject to changes but monthly payments remains. If it’s Geng 24, then everyone has to pay RM 24 every month. So goes for the others gangs. The payment will be kept by the leader. It is known that this payment is kept to bail out any gang members that is caught or jailed up. The remaining goes to sponsor cheap liquors and cigarettes. Schools are targeted and collection goes around to protect students. Every student who pays the monthly fee will be accepted as a member and be protected. They will be called ‘budaks’. Nambe budak. Next comes election. A very important part in forming a gang.One who fights the best and daring will be chosen as a leader.The following is the least minimum criteria to be a gang leader : 1) Should be daring and willing to fight anyone 2) Should handle weapons diligently 3) Should have been locked up in jail at least once 4) Have a few marks and sign of stitches in a visible place in their body(To mark that they have been in a few fights) 5) Should be a person without a brain. Should have no thinking capabilities. 6) Owns own transport and willing to travel to any school to fight. 7) Willing to fight extra hours just to protect the field. 8) Should be able to drink cheap liquors and smoke 9) Should be able to speak vulgar words fluently in Tamil, knowledge in vulgar words in other language such as Chinese and Malay will be an added advantage. Above is the minimum criteria.Once the gang leader is chosen, what they need to do next is conquering. They will have to go and fight in a nearby fields and try to conquer other’s field. Once they’ve won the fight, the group who emerge victory will be able to rule another field . So, day by day their name will be high in the air and will rule few fields and drains in their housing area. One new policemen will be transferred to the housing area and he will gun down all the gang leaders. The group dissolves and everyone runs away to another state hiding. Few committee members will be arrested and put in jail. The group will be gone all of a sudden. Until the person who is locked up is out from jail .Once he is out , there starts a new gang. This is the cycle of secret society members. My dear friends, what you have read is what is happening. Do not try to explain to me about them because i live in a place where almost every existing secret society in Malaysia have their so called camp in my housing area.As interesting as this article might sound to be,it portrays the dark side of most Indian guys in Malaysia unfortunately. Sekian, terima kasih. http://ragedindian.com/2008/04/04/indian-gangs-in-malaysia-deep-down/

Malaysia PM gives mothers’ praise on Mother’s Day

Alisha Hassan | 13 May 2012 

 

KUALA LUMPUR: Families are out and about on Mother’s Day here in Kuala Lumpur. Getting pampered with massages, eating out and relaxing is for Malaysian mothers a rare change of pace.
“I just got a massage for my gift and my back finally feels like it has new life,” said Mital, a 25-year-old mother of two and housewife.
“It is nice to see we are getting noticed by others this year,” she told Bikyamasr.com in reference to Prime Minister Najib Razak’s public declaration of praise for mothers on Mother’s Day.
He said that all mothers from Generation X and Y have shown their “hard work” in balancing family and careers.
“Mother’s Day this year focuses on the role of young mothers, particularly those who are working. Happy Mother’s Day!” said Najib, who is acting Women, Family and Community Development Minister, on his Facebook account in conjunction with Mother’s Day tomorrow.
In his speech in conjunction with the Mother’s Day recorded in a hotel suite in Johor Baharu after attending a wedding reception on Saturday, he said Generation X and Y comprised young people, “who were fast-moving, good at planning strategies and skilful in using modern technologies.”
Razak said they were a very important part of the society as they were the ones who would take the country towards Vision 2020.
“I hope the role of mothers, who represent Generation X and Y, are to balance the demands of career and family to enable them not only to pursue their own career but also to succeed as mother.
“Lastly, I would like to once again wish a Happy Mother’s Day. Let us hope, with the commitment of all mothers, Malaysia will grow stronger and become more successful. Happy Mother’s Day 2012,” he said.
Meanwhile, the prime minister’s wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, in her speech, hoped mothers would look after their children well and shower them with love to spur them to become useful and courteous citizens, and persons of high integrity when they grow up.
“To children, I would like to remind you to love your mother. Never forget their good deeds. Never put them in misery and hurt their feelings.
“Remember, the heaven is under your mother’s feet,” he said.
For the many Malaysian mothers on Sunday, it is a day of relaxation and recognition for their efforts the past year.
“I think this is a great holiday and it brings families together,” added Mital.

Awakened by an arrogant and biased Election Commission

April 28, 2012

FMT LETTER: Steven Choong, via e-mail

As I write this I’m aware that tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands are journeying into KL to make the great event in the Malaysian history, the Bersih 3 Sit-and-Protes against an unclean election process,  a success today.

My heart is with all of my fellow citizens who will be at Dataran Merdeka. I wish I could be there too but I’m staying back because I have to give my moral support to the Bersih 3 JB Steering Committee in Johor Bahru.

The Steering Committee consists of people who have no prior experience of organising a rally. Yet they set out with an ambition to see a 10,000 crowd because they long to see changes in Johor.

Johoreans missed the thrill of 308 and they would not want the thrill to escape again in the coming 13th GE. However, they know they may miss it yet again unless they do something. They know enough now that the electoral roll is not clean and the election process is open for manipulation via the postal voting processes as well as a biased Election Commission.

The exposure that the EC chairman, Abdul Aziz and his deputy, Wan Ahmad, are both Umno members are just something too much to swallow.

These two persons do not even know that they are holding a position that demands the highest level of integrity and independence as the future of the country is entirely vested in their hands to ensure that the government is what the Rakyat has chosen.

They should have immediately tendered their resignation upon the exposure by PKR. But to the dismay of everyone they just casually brushed off the matter as something insignificance. What has this country becomes under BN? We have people who walk in the corridors of power and yet do not seem to know what is ethical or unethical.

It is clear the BN government is rotten to the core and all other supposed commissions are too being manned by people who are closely affiliated to Umno.  Hence, these are the main reasons that gave the Steering Committee the courage to push to the limits that they know.

The Steering Committee and many volunteers had been working very hard over the last two weeks to ensure a big turn-out today in JB. They dare to dream dreams and I’m deeply touched and appreciative of all they have done.

I hope it will be a success and the police and the MBJB will co-operate. But then come what may, this is our land and future.  If we do not engage now to demand for a fair and clean election, our dreams will remain dreams and the future will be bleak for all except those who walk the corridors of power.

I hope too, it will be a great success in KL and all other cities as we really need to take back the right to determine the future of this country together.

The writer is national deputy sec-gen of PKR

Anak Dedah Penipuan Ibu Menyamar Sebagai Bomoh & Tipu Wang Orang Ramai

Anak Dedah Penipuan Ibu Menyamar Sebagai Bomoh & Tipu Wang Orang Ramai

Oleh RAHIMY RAHIM
KUALA LUMPUR: Seorang wanita bukan saja memperdaya lima mangsa sehingga mengakibatkan kerugian ribuan ringgit tetapi sanggup menipu anak perempuan dan suaminya juga.
Tidak tahan dengan penipuan ibunya itu telah mendorong anak perempuannya yang kini berusia 19 tahun tampil ke hadapan membuat pendedahan akan kegiatan penipuan ibunya yang menyamar sebagai seorang bomoh.
"Terdapat ramai mangsa yang berang datang ke rumah mencari ibu saya. Mereka turut merosakkan barang-barang kami. Saya bimbang jika adik-adik saya diserang oleh orang yang tidak dikenali pada masa hadapan," katanya kepada pemberita pada sidang media yang diatur oleh Biro Pengaduan dan Perkhidmatan Awam MCA di Wisma MCA, Selasa.
Dia adalah antara tujuh mangsa yang menanggung kerugian wang tunai dan barang kemas bernilai hampir RM30,000 selepas diperdaya ibunya yang mendakwa boleh menghapuskan ilmu hitam.
"Hubungan saya dan ibu kini menjadi tegang dan rengang selepas suami saya enggan menjadi penjamin apabila ibu mahu membuat pinjaman sebanyak RM50,000.
"Dia mula mengugut kami dan cuba mencetuskan salah faham di antara saya dan suami. Dia juga menipu adik ipar saya sebanyak RM5,000. Kami berharap agar tiada lagi mangsa yang terpedaya selepas ini," katanya.
Seorang lagi mangsa, iaitu suami kepada bomoh tersebut berkata, dia telah menfailkan penceraian selepas menyedari siapa isterinya yang sebenar.
"Kami sudah bersama selama tujuh tahun dan dia telah melarikan pasport saya dan wang tunai sebanyak RM9,000. Saya berharap agar semua mangsa tampil dan mendedahkan kegiatan penipuannya itu," kata sisuami.
Sementara itu seorang lagi mangsa yang berkhidmat sebagai pegawai bank yang kerugian wang RM9,000 berkata, bomoh itu mendekatinya ketika dia mengambil surat di rumah kawannya, tempat di mana wanita itu tinggal.
"Dia menghampiri saya dan menakutkan saya dengan menjangkakan sesuatu yang buruk akan menimpa saya dan keluarga.
"Dia memberitahu saya hanya perlu menyerahkan beberapa barang berharga bagi membolehkan upacara ritual dilakukan. Dia juga mengarahkan saya supaya tidak memberitahu sesiapa mengenai perkara itu," kata pegawai bank yang berusia 31 tahun itu.
Dalam pada itu, Ketua Biro Pengaduan dan Perkhidmatan Awam MCA, Datuk Seri Michael Chong berkata, suspek mungkin menggunakan modus operandi yang sama dengan menyamar sebagai bomoh tetapi masih ramai mangsa yang terpedaya dengan helahnya.
"Ini kerana rakyat di negara ini terlalu percaya kepada benda karut. Tahun lalu, kami mempunyai lima kes yang lebih kurang sama melibatkan kerugian bernilai RM160,000 manakala 12 lagi kes melibatkan RM800,000 pada 2009," katanya kepada para pemberita.

Concern over influx of new voters

CHEAT..............READ & FORWARD TO ALL  
300,000 new voters just in Selangor

Concern over influx of new voters
Writer: Brenda Ch'ng
Published: Fri, 30 Mar 2012
SHAH ALAM: Selangor recorded the highest number of new voters registered between 2008 and the third quarter of 2011, raising concern of electoral fraud in the upcoming general election.
“The normal increase of new voters is usually between 4,000 to 5,000. Howevermost constituencies in Selangor recorded an increase of over 10,000 new voters,” said Seri Andalas assemblyperson Dr Xavier Jayakumar on Tuesday
Subang has 27,765 new voters while its neighbouring parliamentary seat Kelana Jaya recorded a 13,714 increase.
“We’ve our suspicions about the increase. We looked into it and found 100 voters registered under the same house address,” he said.

Subsequently they found 300 other houses with 100 new voters registered for each.
New voters have also been found registered with “Green” MyKads with expiration dates printed on them.
“We’ve seen it used by voters before in Sarawak and we fear it may be used here in the upcoming general election, too,” he said.
Joining him was Meru assembly person Dr Abdul Rani Osman, who urged the Election Commission to investigate these discrepancies.
**********************************************
There are presently 300,000 new registered voters in Selangor.  From the 300,000, 137,000 are Bangladeshi registered in Jalan Belangkas alone, who were recently make citizens of this country and some were newly converted to Muslim not by choice but by force temporary so that they are able to continue working here in Malaysia.
How do I know?  The 137,000 Bangladeshi were all registered with just one 6P Agent in Jalan Belangkas with the help and support direct from Hishamuddin in Putrajaya.
This particular 6P Agent had forced the Bangladeshi to pay him RM4,000 per person to register.  Since most of them are penniless they were forced to sign agreement with this agent to give him the right to all their salaries in return they will get just RM4 per day from the sum.  If the Bangladeshi is above 30 years old the contract is for 12 years.  Anyone below that is 10 years.  So basically the Bangladeshi are now slaves to this 6P Agent.  To further insult the dignity of the Bangladeshi who are non-Muslim are now converted in paper as Muslim.  Reason given is that only Muslim can get a job in Malaysia.  Since this is an open secret, the Bangladeshi have no choice but to accept it with a heavy heart.
Now this particular 6P Agent is going to open a Bangla Restaurant in Jalan Belangkas.
Now if this particular 6P Agent can register 137,000 Bangladeshi in Jalan Belangkas and make them instant citizens just to vote for UMNO in Selangor.  Where do the real Rakyat's vote stand in Selangor?
When Putrajaya first sent the Mykad to this 6P Agent, they missed out the BIN.  Then Putrajaya officers came in their black jeep and took them back.  Two weeks ago they came and gave the new Mykad with the word BIN printed on it.
I am just talking about Bangladeshi in Jalan Belangkas. What about the other aliens with other 6P Agents?
Hishamoo said, "The 6P programme, which includes the registration, legalisation, amnesty, deportation, supervision and enforcement of foreign labour in the country, has registered 2,320,034 illegal and legal foreign workers using the biometric system as of Aug 31. Of these, a total of 1,303,126 are illegals."
This figure is not correct according to source from Putrajaya, the number of foreign workers illegal and legal is above 11 million.  But according to Tony Pua this is unlikely.  Then why is the data base in a tight seal updated by two senior officers only?

Najib May Avoid Calling Early Malaysia Election After Protests

Najib May Avoid Calling Early Malaysia Election After Protests
By Barry Porter - Jul 11, 2011 12:00 AM GMT+0800


Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak may avoid calling an early election this year after police clashed with thousands of opposition-backed activists July 9, signaling a rise in political risk in the Southeast Asian nation.

Police detained 1,697 people as demonstrators protesting against what they call unfair voting practices marched on Kuala Lumpur landmarks including Merdeka Stadium and the king’s palace. Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections chief Ambiga Sreenevasan was among those held, and opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was injured when tear gas was fired, local media reported.

The protests were the biggest since 2007 in a nation governed by the United Malays National Organisation since Malaysia’s independence from the U.K. in 1957. They coincide with rising pressure for political change in Malaysia’s neighbors, with Thai voters this month ejecting a party that used soldiers to disperse opposition protests in 2010 that led to more than 90 deaths, and Singapore’s ruling party in May winning its narrowest election victory since independence.

“Judging from Saturday’s events, he’s losing support,” Ooi Kee Beng, a senior fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies said in a telephone interview from Singapore, referring to Najib. “I don’t think he will call a snap election now as he has everything to lose.”

While a vote isn’t due for two years, speculation that Najib would call an early election rose after his coalition won 77 percent of the seats in a local election in Sarawak state in April. The government isn’t frightened of facing the opposition in the general election, Najib was cited as saying yesterday by the official Bernama news service.
Equity Rally

Equity investors showed little concern at the planned protests in the run-up to the event, with the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index closing at a record on July 8.

The July 9 rally attracted about 6,000 people, the Star newspaper said, citing Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar. Bersih, as the coalition is known, put the figure at 50,000, the Malaysian Insider reported. All those held, including 170 women and children, were later released, a police spokesman said.

This is “not the end, it is but one more step in the long walk for clean and fair elections in Malaysia,” Bersih said in a statement after the rally. The group said it would continue to attempt to deliver a memorandum of their positions to the king.

Bersih wants electoral changes, such as lengthening campaign periods to at least 21 days and using indelible ink on fingers to prevent people from voting more than once, according to its website.
Group’s Demands

The Election Commission is looking into extending the campaign period and plans to use biometric fingerprinting instead of indelible ink, Election Commission Chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said in a television interview with TV3 and Bernama on July 2. International observers may also be invited, he said.

Water cannons were used to disperse crowds in 2007 when similar protests drew 40,000 people in Kuala Lumpur. This was followed by riots led by Hindu-rights activists.

The ruling National Front coalition went on to suffer its biggest election losses since independence in the 2008 national poll, losing control of five of Malaysia’s 13 states to the opposition. Then-Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi resigned to take responsibility and was replaced by Najib in April 2009. The front has since regained control of one state, Perak.
Malay Groups

Two Malay rights groups, Perkasa and UMNO Youth, which is an arm of Najib’s ruling party threatened to hold rival rallies should Bersih go ahead with street protests. UMNO Youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin was also detained, police said.

The authorities rejected applications to use stadiums within Kuala Lumpur by all three groups, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said on July 8.

Major roads into Malaysia’s capital were sealed on July 9 with road blocks, some train stations shut and buses diverted, leaving some parts of the city deserted.

Anwar, 62, was hospitalized for treatment to a bruise on his head and a cut on his leg after he fell when police fired tear gas at protesters, Malaysiakini reported online, citing the opposition leader. His bodyguard was “severely” injured by a tear gas canister, Anwar’s daughter Nurul Izzah told reporters.

Tian Chua, vice president of Anwar’s party, was among those a Bloomberg reporter saw detained by police. People’s Justice Party deputy president Azmin Ali was also arrested, along with three leaders of the opposition Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, the Star said.

“The coming election is going to be a hotly contested one,” said Gerald Ambrose, who oversees about $429 million as head of Aberdeen Asset Management’s Malaysian unit in Kuala Lumpur. “One good thing about the protest is that Malaysia is put on the stage to show even more progress that is needed to convince all the people.”
