Is it Safe to Travel and Shopping in Malaysia???? - - - A Review

IF YOU ARE IN MALAYSIA,

PLEASE TRY TO BE MORE CAREFULL EVEN ITS DAY TIME...

I just can't believe and read & see this...its real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only god knows how we feel to see those....... The country is not safe anymore....Please be careful...

Please be extra careful when you are out there alone.

MANY of us would have at one time or another received e-mail

circulating on the Internet warning female

patrons of a popular shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur of an

attempted gang-rape involving parking attendants and security guards. I used to dismiss them, telling my

friends that it was probably the work of a rival shopping complex or pranksters.

In any case, many of us are often suspicious of information

posted on the Internet, including so-called news websites, as they have often been proven inaccurate.

But the abduction of Canny Ong from the Bangsar Shopping Complex at 9.45pm on June 15, an upmarket area, must

have shattered our sense of security.

The authorities may say that Ong was at the wrong place at the wrong time, in assuring us that it was an

isolated case.They may be right but the public demand that shopping complex owners wake up and provide better security

for those who spend money at their premises.

Consider this: It was reported on Nov 30 last year that a 47-year-old business executive was brutally raped

in her car after being tied up with her bra at a parking lot in Damansara Uptown in the evening.

The mother of two adult children, who works with an international cosmetics company, was getting into her car

when a man grabbed her from behind before pulling out a knife and forcing her into the car.

The man then drove to a secluded spot in the basement car park and robbed and raped her.

There were more reports this year. On March 13, it was reported that a 15-year-old policeman's daughter was

allegedly raped by a friend in a woman's toilet at a shopping complex in Ampang.

The stunned Form Three student tried to put up a fight but was overpowered and threatened by the man. The

report said that it was the fourth rape involving young girls in the city in recent weeks.


On March 3, it was reported that a Form Four student who

befriended several youths at a shopping mall in Jalan Sultan Ismail was gang-raped at a rooftop parking lot.

And on May 30, a 19-year-old girl was molested and assaulted by a group of youths at a shopping complex while

having dinner with her boyfriend. One of the youths had grabbed her breasts after making lewd suggestions to

her. Her cries caught the attention of five security guards but instead of arresting the youth, they advised

her to let the culprit go.

These incidents get reported because they are serious offences but cases of car theft, mugging and burglary

probably go unreported because victims do not want to go

through the hassle of making police reports when the chances of recovering their goods are low. But the series of

murder cases over the past few weeks are certainly of great concern, if not alarming.

Malaysians have a right to ask what the police are doing about

the recent spate of crimes. And what are the owners of shopping complexes doing next to

ensure public safety beyond installing closed-circuit television and hiring security officers to go on

patrol regularly? Surveillance cameras need to be installed, not just at exit points to see whether we have

paid our parking fees, but also in lifts, at staircases and corridors.

Deserted areas need to be actively patrolled, particularly after 9pm, to give a better sense of security to

patrons of cinemas, food and beverage outlets. More women security guards should also be hired to patrol

basement car parks. Greater surveillance, more security personnel and better lighting may mean higher costs

but they will go a long way in establishing the reputation of a shopping complex among its customers.

Owners of hotels and commercial buildings should also take

similar precautions as they, too, have huge basement car parks which are often poorly lit and deserted.

The owners of hotels, commercial buildings and shopping

complexes should also consider hiring women guards who are prepared to accompany women to their cars on request.

Crime prevention often gets little attention from politicians but it has certainly become a serious concern

and they had better listen more attentively from now.

Take the classic case of Petaling Jaya Utara MP Chew Mei Fun.

Aware that PJ has the highest crime rate in Selangor, she launched a crime prevention campaign

with the help of the police.

But on June 5, she ended up being a victim when burglars broke into her house and stole two VCD players, her

piggy bank and prizes for a charity event she was organising.

                      A total of 11,856 criminal cases were reported in PJ between January and August last year.. In KL, 9,312

cases were reported followed by Klang (8,325) and Sentul (7,339). We are aware that there is a shortage of

policemen in Malaysia . According to Chew, there is only one policeman to every 3,000 residents in PJ whereas

in most cities in developed countries, the ratio is one officer to every 250 residents.

One way to attract more people to join the police force is to ensure that they get better salaries. With

better perks, the force will attract better educated people and also prevent them from succumbing to corruption.

We will get to see a higher level of commitment in fighting crime instead of seeing them stopping

motorcyclists and lorry drivers for minor traffic offences, arousing unnecessary suspicion on our part as to their intentions.

In Singapore ,
                           youths have to either join the army or the

police force under the compulsory national service.

We should seriously adopt this method if we want to boost the

numbers of the police force.

Our police have done well in fighting crime in this country

but we can certainly make their job easier if the Government and public do their bit as well. ???

Nice Wordings....

Asparagus for Cancer‏


Several years ago, I had a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article, entitled, `Asparagus for cancer ' printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979.

          I will share it here, just as it was shared with me:

 Three types of asparagus on a shop display, with white asparagus at the back and green asparagus in the middle. The plant at the front is Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, is commonly called wild asparagus,

'I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years.
     
       Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer. Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favourable case histories.
       Here are a few examples:


Case No. 1, 
            A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.
Case No. 2,
            A successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of  the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.


Case No. 3,
           A man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971, he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it. By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared. He is back at his regular business routine. *


Case No. 4,
           A woman who was troubled for a number of years with ze=3 face="Times New Roman">

             I was not surprised at this result, as `The elements of Materia Medica', edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of   Pennsylvania , stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments, in 1739, on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones.

             We would have other case histories but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy. For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using, and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh.

             I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.

          * *  PROCEDURE:
1) Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator.

2) Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily, morning and evening.

              Patients usually show some improvement in from 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.

              As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent'. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals.  We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold..

               For years we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups.

               The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink...

               As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and inacting as a general body tonic. In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest, is a harmless substance.

               The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good.. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute, that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione, which is considered one of the body's most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.

Please spread the news...

Health Update- Chicken Wings‏

Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...! A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but! she was terribly wrong. A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation. During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew about her eating habits. You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth.. It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

Is This MAGIC?
