apakah rasionalnya kerajaan membelanjakan sejumlah kos yang begitu besar hanya untuk menyertai perlumbaan ini? tidakk kah yab perdana menteri sedar akan keperluan rakyat harus diutamakan? adakah tindakan beliau ini bersesuaian dengan slogan satu malaysia yang beliau canangkan.. “rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan”…

mungkin ada kebenaran tindakan perdana menteri kesayangan kita ini hinggakan tindakannya disokong oleh mantan perdana menteri, tun dr mahtdir mohamed…beliau mengeluarkan kenyatan akhbar yang berbunyi, “kita mungkin dapat memperkenalkan malaysia di mata dunia dengan menyertai perlumbaan berprestij ini..kos untuk mengiklankan tourism malaysia di uar negara dikatakan jauh lebih tinggi berbanding dengan menyertai perlumbaan ini…”

bukanlah niat untuk mengkritik tindakan perdana menteri kita tika ini..tapi sebaiknya kajian terperinci rasionalnya perlaburan ini harus dijalankan terlebih dahulu..lebih-lebih lagi apabila pendapatan petronas mengalami penurunan dalam pembentangan laporan kewangannya baru-baru ini..ini sedikit sebanyak menjejaskan perancangan belanjawan 2010 kerana petronas juga merupakan sumber pendapatanm negara..lantas terdapat beberapa pihak yang melontarkan kerisauan dengan situasi ini terutamanya ketua pembangkang, datuk seri anwar ibrahim di parlimen…

apa pun tindakan perdana menteri..kita harus lihat akan keputusannnya…mungkin ada cita-cita yang kita tidak tahu dan dapat lihat..tun dr mahatdir mohamed juga pernah menyatakan hasratnya untuk membuat projek kereta nasional..dan ianya ditentang dan dipersoal oleh pelbagai pihak..namun kita lihat hari..kita mampu mendabik dada kerana negara kita adalah antara negara pengeluar kenderaan di dunia…

konklusinya…sebagai rakyat malaysia yang prihatin..kita berharap agar pasukan lotus f1 team ini berjaya dengan 2 orang pemandu dari luar negara dan pemandu ujian yang merupakan anak kelahiran negara kita…janganlah pasukan harapan negara ini menerima nasib seperti pasukan yang lain..kandas dikala awal kemunculannya…hidup biar berjasa…malaysia boleh!

Cameron Highlands has many places to visits. Here I ranked the top 5 must-visit places.

Green Tea Plantation

As the hallmark of fame, tea plantations are the main tourist attraction of Cameron Highlands. Tea plantations carpet the surrounding valleys in a fine layer of yellow green tea leaves, and most of them are open to tourists and visitors to purchase tea bags and watch the workers there plucking tea as well as enjoy a simmering hot cup of tea with scones. Tea was the reason why a British government surveyor, William Cameron saw potential and founded this valley, which eventually became Malaysia’s top highland holiday destination and Cameron Highlands was named after him.

Strawberry farm

Visit the strawberry park here will entail visitors not only to the opportunity to see how strawberries are cultivated but also offer the opportunity to purchase freshly picked strawberries with thick delicious fresh cream at affordable prices.

Cameron Highlands’s strawberries tend to be slightly smaller than those grown in Europe, probably due to a lack of long sunshine hours to promote growth, although they can be just as sweet and delicious. Always worth a visit for their strawberries and cream and other products such as strawberry shake and jam.

• Healthy Strawberry Farm
• EQ Strawberry Farm
• Kok Lim Strawberry Farm
• Kea Strawberry Farm
• HM Strawberry Farm

Waterfalls

1) Lata Iskandar

On the way from Tapah to the Cameron Highlands it is impossible to overlook the Iskandar Fall. Far before the fall is reached, the first parked cars and stalls appear.
The falls are visible from the road, and there is a big sign, welcoming the visitor to the Hutan Lipur Lata Iskandar. Souvenir shops, food stalls, don’t expect solitude here.

2)Parit Waterfalls

Parit Waterfalls and the trail leading there is really great for beginners in jungle trekking and those who just want a taste of light trekking while in Cameron itself! Its well-paved and easy on the feet. More like a walk in the park. The whole experience took us between 45 minutes to an hour. Also, entry to the Parit Waterfalls trail is so easily accessible, being just at the edge of Tanah Rata, the main town of Cameron.

3) Robinson Falls

Butterfly Farms

There are two butterfly farms in Camerons located next to each other. Depending on season, the farms can crawl with butterflies especially the magnificent Rajah Brooke.

The two places also have a collection of reptiles, insects and amphibians to show with shops selling ornamental plants and flowers.

Mount Batu Brinchang

Mount Batu Brinchang is the highest mountain in the Cameron Highlands area. It is situated at the Perak-Pahang border in Malaysia. It is one of the mountains in Malaysia where its summit can be reached by road. Due to easy accessibility, this mountain enjoys many visitors all year round.

Try  the nature trail path that cuts the forest all the way up to the summit. The nature trail’s entrance is situated at the edge of the Brinchang town itself.

1)  Depersonalization and derealization

Depersonalization refers to feeling unreal, removed from one’s self, and detached from one’s physical and mental processes. Patients feel like an observer of their life, as if they were watching themselves in a movie. Patients may even feel as if transiently, they do not inhabit their bodies. Derealization refers to experiencing familiar people and surroundings as if they were unfamiliar, strange, or unreal.

2)  Depression

Depression when exhibited with other symptoms of DID may be classified as severe or ‘clinical depression’. This type of depression tends to interfere greatly with a persons day to day life.

3) Compulsions   or rituals
A person in a dissociative state may have compulsions or ritual behaviors which help them deal with stress. They may also when agitated, in a stressful situation or in a situation in which they are exposed to a ‘trigger’. It may involve behavior, speech or thought.

4)Sleep disorders

Some example about sleep disorder is insomnia. The person will having difficulty  for getting sleep. Further info can be done here. Other examples are sleep walking and night terror.

5) Amniesia

Amnesia in MPD is marked by gaps in the patient’s memory for long periods of their past, and, in some cases, their entire childhood. Most MPD patients have amnesia, or “lose time,” for periods when another personality is “out.” They may report finding items in their house that they can’t remember having purchased, finding notes written in different handwriting, or other evidence of unexplained activity.

6) Identity Disturbance .

Persons suffering from MPD usually have a main personality that psychiatrists refer to as the “host.” This is generally not the person’s original personality, but is rather one developed in response to childhood trauma. It is usually this personality that seeks psychiatric help. MPD patients are often frightened by their dissociative experiences, which can include losing awareness of hours or even days, meeting people who claim to know them by another name, or feeling “out of body.”

kata-kata dari seorang sahabatku,

” saat bederai jatuh titisan air mata suci
ibrahim melihat keteguhan iman anaknya ismail…
dikala itulah bermula sejarah agung…
erti sebuah pengorbanan… ”

nampak mudah tapi pada diriku ianya sebuah ingatan dan kesedaran… jika difikir mendalam… besar makna potongan ayat ini… ayat yang mampu untuk membawa seseorang itu kembali kepada jalan yang benar…
satu persoalan yang bermain di minda saya tatkala mendapat pesanan ringkas ini, ” berbaloikah titisan air mata suci nabi ibrahim jika baginda melihat umat islam pada hari ini? “.. mungkin fikiran saya masih terbatas… tidak mampu berfikir secara rasional lagi…

Apakah erti pengorbanan?

menurut kamus dewan edisi ketiga, korban bermaksud adalah amalan untuk menghampikan diri kepada Allah dengan menyembelih binatang ternakan pada 10 zulhijjah atau 3 hari selepasnya ( hari tasyrik ) dengan mengagihkan sebahagian daripada daging itu kepada fakir miskin… peristiwa eid adha bemula tika Allah mengarahkan Nabi Ibrahim as untuk menyembelih anak kesayangannya, nabi ismail a.s… bayangkan bagaimana sukar ujian yang nabi Allah ibrahim terima dari Allah… namun ketenangan nabi ismail menyebabakan jatuhnya titisan ai mata suci bapanya…

firman Allah swt yang bermaksud:

” adakah kami akan mengatakan kamu beriman sedangkan kami
belum menguji kamu lagi ”

sejarah permulaan penyebaran islam menunjukkan pelbagai pengorabanan kekeasih Allah, Nabi Muhammad saw dan para sahabat.. pengorbanan Nabi Muhammad saw untuk membawa umatnya ke jalan yang benar.. walau di maki dan ditentang kuat sekalipun kerna sayang akan umatnya baginda tetap berjuang hingga ada tika bedarah kepala baginda akibat dibaling dengan batu…jika tidak kerna baginda adalah rahmatan lilalamin, sudah tentu terbalik bumi qaba’ tika itu… pengorbanan muaz utk mengajar mereka ynag baru memeluk islam.. bagaimana rasanya untuk mengajar di tempat yang kita tidak biasa?.. kekuatan iman para sahabat yang harus kita contohi dalam memperjuangkan manhaj Allah..

Pengorbanan hari ini….

umat islam hari ini kebanyakkannya cetak dalam mentafsirkan definisi pangorbanan.. ada yang berpendapat korban itu hanya menyembelih binatang ternakan.. ada pula yang menjadikan eid adha waktu untuk cuti tanpa ada penghayatan… ada yang mengambil peluang umtuk bertemu dengan kekasih mereka setelah berjauhan dan menganggapnya sebagai satu pengorbanan… mungkin sehigga itu sahaja tahap befikir mereka…

freemanson, islam liberisasi, sekularisme, marxisme dan sosialisme antara pelbagai fahaman dan isealisme yang mampu menjatuhkan umat islam… inilah pengorbanan kita sebagai umat islam… untuk mengembalikan umat islam ke jalan yang benar… usah diersoalkan isu mampu atau tidak… begitu banyak organisasi dakwah.. hanya kita yang tidak mahu… persoalkan pada diri masing-masing… jika diberi keizinan oleh Allah, apakah yang kita akan jawab jika baginda nabi Muhammad saw mengetuk pintu rumah kita dan bertanya, ” apakah yang telah kamu sumbangkan kepada ummah? ”

Overview

Multiple personality disorder (MPD) also known as Dissociative Identity disorder are most likely the most rare disease.  This disease, unfortunately does not have a fix medicine or drug to cure it. MPD is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

MPD, in fact is a very controversial disease. This because many commonly disputed points about MPD. These viewpoints critical of MPD can be quite varied, with some taking the position that MPD does not actually exist as a valid medical diagnosis, and others who think that MPD may exist but is either always or usually an adverse side effect of therapy. MPD diagnoses initially appeared to be almost entirely confined to the North American continent, but later surveys found cases on other continents but at significantly lower rates.

Thanks to medicinenet.com, the quoted part showed the not all professional agreed that MPD/DID exist.

Some professionals continue to be of the opinion that DID does not exist. The nature of this skepticism is sometimes due to questions about why many more individuals who have endured the stress of terrible abuse as young children do not develop the disorder, why more children are not diagnosed as having DID, and why some DID sufferers have no history of tremendous trauma. One explanation for what some believe to be these inconsistencies is that given the highly complex and unknown nature of the human brain and psyche, many of those whom one would expect to develop dissociative identity disorder are spared due to their resilience. Another concern about the diagnosis of DID involves having to rely on the traumatic memories of those who suffer from this disorder. That DID is significantly more often assessed in individuals in North America compared to the rest of the world, for the most part, leads some practitioners to believe that DID is a culture-based myth rather than a true disorder. As with many other mental-health issues, symptoms of the same disorder in children look very different than in adults. Studies that verify the presence of DID using multiple resources add credibility to the diagnosis. Research on individuals with DID that have little to no media exposure to information on the illness lends further credibility to the reliability of this diagnosis.

There are many video proven the the this disease is real thing, Grabbed from Youtube™  here the video regarding MPD.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is firstly described by German psychiatrist and neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906 and was named after him. ognised symptom is memory loss, such as difficulty in remembering recently learned facts. This disease, however cannot be cured since now despite many reasearch have been conducted over the decade.

Preventing is more crucial than curing. While there are not elixir yet found for this disease, the some ways to prevent and to reduce the effect of Alzheimer’s disease.

1. Change your life style!

Physical activities are effectively to reduce the major effect of Alzheimer’s Disease. By doing exercise for moderate pace most of us can slow down the effects. There is a fact that said five workouts every seven days can reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s by as much as 35%.

2. Get enough sleep.

Poor sleep can significantly damage your brain and central nervous system. Our brain also need some rest because process, store, and recall information may burden our brain, hence regular and enough sleep needed.

3. Healthy diet.

Alzheimer’s also describe as diabetics of brains. The American Academy of Neurology recently warned elevated cholesterol in your 40’s increases your risk of Alzheimer’s. For the diet tips, you can view my previous post on 10 cheap tips on maintain your healthy diet and on Valary Fortie’s post on Lower your Cholesterol on Mediterranean Diet.

4. Secure our brain!

By the time Alzheimer’s disease appears, irreversible damage has already occurred. Preventing and delaying Alzheimer’s includes three protective tips:

Avoid toxins – Among the most preventable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease are smoking and heavy drinking. Not only does smoking increase the odds for those over 65 by nearly 79%, researchers at Miami’s Mt. Sinai Medical Center warn that a combination of these two behaviors reduces the age of Alzheimer’s onset by six to seven years.

Create a brain-safe environment - The evidence on modern technology is mixed. Scientists continue to examine links between neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and exposure to environmecontaminants.

5. Stress management.

In a research conducted by Dr. Vincent Fortanasce, stress may triple or quadruple the effect of the Alzheimer. By getting proper management of stress, one may reduce or prevent this disease. From an article post on newscient.com, here some news from experiment conducted by several scientist of stress affecting Alzheimer.

Brief periods of stress can cause a rapid rise in the brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study in mice.

Just three days of stress caused an abrupt 42% increase in brain proteins thought to cause the disease. The study helps to shed light on why people who experience great stress and anxiety appear more prone to this illness, experts say.

While most of people getting this disease, lets do the the tips given above, to protect your life!.

1- One widely held belief is that the over use of chemicals on the hair can cause hair thinning and eventually hair loss. If you like to enhance the look of your hair through chemical means, but are nervous about future hair loss, it is a good idea to only have this type of work done by a licensed beautitian. Many do-it-yourselfers are too inexperienced to properly perform chemical treatments to their hair, having a tendacncy to over apply the products. If you do color your hair, it is thought best to keep the frequency to a six or eight week minimum.

2- It is important to eat healthy foods and ensure that your body is getting the vitamins and minerals that it needs. Often times the body will show poor health in the hair follicles and finger nails before and actual illness is detected. While it is important to get enough of the right nutrients, it is just as important not to get too much of any one type of vitamin. For example, too much of vitamins A and E, have been linked to hair loss.

3- When and if an illness is detected, it is important to take care of your health needs. If the doctor has prescribed medications, take it. Failure to follow the doctors advise will cause your body to work harder just to stay alive, it won’t have enough energey to keep the hair follicles growing and will eventually lead to hair loss. This is an excellent form of hair loss prevention.

4- The style that you wear your hair can also be a hair loss prevention opportunity. When ever possible, avoid pulling hair into styles that require it to be pulled tight and bound with elastic for long periods of time. While hair accessories have become much more hair friendly during recent years, hairstyle such as tight ponytail, pig tails and cornrows can still do damage to the hair shaft and ultimately to the hair follicle.

5- A way to pamper yourself doubles as a hair loss prevention idea. Using satin or silk pillowcases, is thought to prevent hair loss due to the fact that a silk or satin pillowcase will cause less friction while sleeping than a cotton or flannel pillowcase. This is because the head and the hair slide across the pillow instead of needing to be forcefully pushed across.

6- There is a whole group of old wives’s tales that relate to hair loss prevention. These tips definatly won’t hurt to try, but really don’t do anything to combat the issue of hair loss. For instance, it has been said that standing upside down will increase blood flow to the head and that massaging the scalp or briskly brushing the hair will make the hair stay put and not fall out. This is simply not the case.

7- It is important to remember that even in a healthy person, it is completely normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs from the head every day. If you feel that your hair loss issues are beyond that norm, speak with your doctor or dermatologist about your concerns. They will be able to determine if the hair loss is due to a medical or age issue, and point you in the right treatment direction.
