The World That I See - My View

STUDENTS of a Vision School in Kampung Jawa, Klang, who won a cross-country race did not receive their prizes because they were wearing shorts, Tamil Nesan reported. It said the secondary school students who reached the tape after them were given the prizes instead, prompting parents to lodge a police report against the school administration. The prizes were given to only two students who finished among the top 10 in the 5km cross-country race organised by the school on Saturday. A parent, V. Suseela, 47, said that it was accepted practice for athletes to wear shorts in the international arena. She said the school had also tried to use flimsy excuses like failing to get the ribbons at the designated spots and that the numbers pinned on the shirts were torn to disqualify the students. Another student was disqualified for being bald. http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/1/29/nation/20151506&sec=nation seals: grrrrrr, so what the Ministry did? Play balls?

IPOH: The discipline teacher who had allegedly shaved the moustaches and beards of six secondary boys had been insensitive to the religious and cultural practices of the students, Perak education director Hussain Harun said. Confirming that the teacher had reprimanded the schoolboys when ordering their religious wristband removed and shaving the moustaches and beards they had allowed to grow ahead of fulfilling their vows during Thaipusam, Hussain said: “The teacher was enforcing school regulations that disallowed the use of the wristband and required students to be clean-shaven. But the teacher was also being insensitive to the students’ religious and cultural practices.” As a result, a misunderstanding had occurred, he said, leading to the complaint by four of the boys’ parents. Hussain was responding to the report lodged by the boys’ parents at the Sungai Senam police station on Saturday. One of the fathers said he had written a letter on Jan 7 informing the school that his son woul

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Procter and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph... Dear Mr. Thatcher, I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the Leak Guard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favourite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants. Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from 'the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can alr

In close watch on what that are doing the the reaction of the one who is taking kavadi

(Picture was taken by the author) WRITTEN BY : - JANE My husband, kids and I were at the Subramaniam Temple , Port Kelang for Thaipusam (23.01.2008). As in previous years, we would have gone to Batu Caves , except this time around we decided to support the protest against The Batu Caves Temple Management by not patronizing their organization. The celebrations that was the grandest to date at Port Kelang deserves a whole piece of its’ own. What was really an incredible experience for my family and I, was something else that was happening at the temple grounds. To the right of the temple proper was a podium with banners of pictures of the HINDRAF leaders who were in ISA detention. The banners proclaimed in English “HINDRAF Peaceful Assembly Struggle” and “Release Our Leaders”. Having seen quite a number of youths and elderly people with an orange T-Shirt and scarf emblazoned with ‘Makkal Shakti (People’s Power) on them at the celebrations. I assumed the podium was a place about the ongoi

There were almost 1000 ppl visited Hindraf heroes, Mr . Uthaya and Mr Mano M whom were admitted in Taiping GH yesterday. The turn out was high as it was Sunday and many from all over the country from came to see the glimpse of their heroes and to show their well wish to them. I spoke to few of them whom gathered at 4C ward lobby, all of them greet to each other by saying Vanakam, Vaalge Makkal Sakthi regardless of gender and age. This new phenomena and its a prove of unity awareness among the Msian Indian after the 25/11 Hindraf awakening. They even brought in their family including children as far as from JB to visit their heroes. A man by the name of Siva from JB says he is with his family as he looks this a family struggle and it is for the betterment of his kids. He wants them to know who is Uthaya and why he is in the hospital. The unity spirit was high and I believe it was the big step winning for HINDRAF cause. Ppl were streaming waiting for their turn to go and see him from the
