Nazri, do you believe Bala's affidavit too?

'If an affidavit is proof, then Najib must be guilty because Bala also made a sworn statement against him.' Nazri believes Apco more credible than Anwar Md Imraz Muhammed Ikhbal: An affidavit from the accused merely refuting his guilt is proof and evidence to our law minister? Gosh! Which law school did he go to? Can we now presume that an affidavit from Anwar Ibrahim refuting his guilt on the sodomy charge against him can likewise exonerate him once and for all of the alleged crime? Or does Nazri's logic applies only to wherever and whenever it serves BN's political agenda, and after which different standards apply? Gerard Samuel Vijayan: If Karpal Singh is accused of being a 'third-rate lawyer' by Nazri then he has just confirmed the kind of lawyer he himself is. Is the self-serving letter and affidavit from Apco credible evidence that is incontrovertible? Have the rules of evidence and the presumption of innocence not applicable when it comes ...

On Death's Trail, a Detective Larger Than Life

BANGKOK - THE mild-mannered bank manager poked his head into the doorway, then quickly pulled it back. His wife was at work, and he did not want to look. He has never looked. He is afraid of corpses. If the body on the stainless steel table inside had somehow awakened for a moment, it might have jumped, too, with shock. Bending over it, with hungry fascination, was a woman whose head was covered with dark red spikes, whose lips were the color of dried blood, whose gloved fingernails, as she prepared to slice the body open, were encrusted with spangles. Or perhaps the body would have said, as a dying accident victim once did, "Oh, hello, Dr. Death." Once someone has seen Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand, 47, the country's most famous pathologist, on television or on the cover of one of her best-selling books, it is impossible to forget her. She may be the strangest looking woman in Thailand. ...

'Housemen not over-worked in hospitals'

Image
The Health Ministry has not received formal complaints from any trainee doctor (housemen) about stressful work conditions in government hospitals, said director-general Dr Ismail Merican. He countered that, to his knowledge, some hospital wards have too many trainees who end up being under-worked. "I'm surprised (that there are complaints)... if you go to the surgical ward, there will be 20 housemen floating around, and they will be fighting to do an appendectomy," he said in an interview. He was asked to comment on an issue frequently raised in the 'Letters' forum of newspapers. These have highlighted work shifts for up to 36 hours if the houseman is on call - and there have been claims that call-duty could go on for 15 days a month. Ismail conceded, though, that he has received complaints from parents of trainees, describing it as a "problem" that did not exist when he went through the system as a houseman. "We worked much harder then and we didn...

(H1N1): Msia moving from containment to mitigation

PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia is moving towards from the containment stage to mitigation of the Influenza A (H1N1) virus due to “clustered” local transmission cases, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. He said the decision was made after 12 workers at a private company in Cyberjaya and six trainees at the Malaysian Maritime Academy in Malacca tested positive for the virus. Liow said the spread of the virus at the Cyberjaya company started from last Friday, and an investigation showed that it had always been receiving foreign visitors. “We have to change our strategies and be more proactive in this matter as these clustered cases indicate that the disease is spreading in various communities. “Members of the public should not panic because most reported cases have been mild,” he told a press conference here Thursday. However, he warned that if local transmission was not controlled, the virus could spread rapidly and lead to cases with complications, including deaths. “Therefore...

Mixed reactions to yoga ban

PETALING JAYA: Sisters in Islam (SIS) and several yoga practitioners have expressed disappointment with the National Fatwa Council’s edict yesterday prohibiting Muslims from practising yoga. They maintained that yoga was just a form of exercise. Other individuals, however, said they would adhere to the edict. Sisters in Islam (SIS) programme manager Norhayati Kaprawi said many Muslims in Malaysia practised it as a form of exercise to stay healthy. “I don’t think it has caused any Muslim to convert to Hinduism, neither has it weakened their faith. It’s just an exercise like qigong or taichi which has its roots in Buddhism. Norhayati said that by issuing the edict, the council had acted as if yoga was a widespread threat to Islam. “I hope they can focus their attention on bigger and more pressing issues, such as money politics and corruption. Isn’t that more serious?” she asked. She noted that SIS had been holding weekly yoga classes for their staff for the past year, adding that it had ...

Fatwa Council deems ancient form of exercise from India 'haram' for Muslims

PUTRAJAYA: The National Fatwa Council has declared that yoga is haram (prohibited) in Islam and Muslims are banned from practising it. Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said yoga had been practised by the Hindu community for thousands of years and incorporated physical movements, religious elements together with chants and worshipping, with the aim of “being one with God”. “Because of this, we believe that it is inappropriate for Muslims to do yoga. The council is declaring that practising yoga, when it comes together with the three elements, is haram,” he told a press conference here yesterday. He noted that while merely doing the physical movements of yoga without the worshipping and chanting might not be against religious beliefs, Muslims should avoid practising it altogether as “doing one part of yoga would lead to another”. Muslims, he said, were discouraged from practising yoga even as a form of exercise as it would ultimately lead to worshipping and chanting, which is aga...

Yesterday, lecturer Prof Zakaria Stapa of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's Islamic Studies Centre advised Muslims who have taken up yoga to stop practising it for fear that it could deviate their belief. -- BERNAMA http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=367877

Testosterone Unproven As Yet for Women's Sex Woes

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Women should not take testosterone to treat loss of sexual desire until there is good evidence it is safe -- and that it actually works -- a behavioral scientist warns in a new report. "I think that there is a lot of excitement about the use of androgens ('male' hormones) to treat low sexual desire in women that is based on evidence that looks better than it really is," Dr. Leslie R. Schover told Reuters Health. "I think that the evidence has some significant flaws." Shover, a professor at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and the author of the article in the journal Fertility and Sterility, adds: "This area of research is being driven by the incredible profits that pharma companies are expecting, given that one in three women in the US will rate herself as having low sexual desire." Interest in the use of testosterone to treat women's sexual desire has ballooned since the development of ...

Diabetics take heart

Diabetics take heart Lee Boon Siew KUALA LUMPUR (May 14, 2008): Diabetics who are also heart patients now have a new drug used for controlling blood sugar, that has been found to also reduce clogging of arteries, lower blood pressure and increase the amount of "good" cholesterol. Director of National Heart Foundation Datuk Dr Khoo Kah Lin said in a statement that a 30-month study involving 543 diabetic heart patients in 97 hospitals in North and South America discovered that pioglitazone caused a regression of coronary atherosclerosis, meaning less plaque was formed thus reducing blockage of the arteries. It also improved blood pressure and raised by 16% the patients’ level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol. Pioglitazone lowered triglycerides by 15% and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein by a whopping 45%. Khoo said results of the study were recently presented at the 57th annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Chicago by emine...

WOW!!! this is incredible.... 1 in a million....I'm proud of this guy...wish him & the girl good luck both [hysically and spiritually This is what true love mean …… College romances are meant to be fun, laughter and companionship. But for 23-year-old Sunny Pawar, companionship has assumed a new meaning. His girlfriend, Aarti Macwan, met with a serious accident a year-and-a-half ago and has been in coma ever since.

Sunny was a student before the accident but he has now given up his studies to take care of Aarti. He feeds her, keeps her clean, talks to her and t...

Baby drop-hatches to help unwed moms?

Image
A few years old news that I found in my mail that I wanted to send a comment to NSTP. P. SELVARANI mailto:mmnews@nstp.com.my > KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 A system that has been successful in Europe to prevent the unnecessary deaths of infants from unwanted pregnancies, to be implemented in Malaysia? Controversial as it may sound, a sociologist has suggested that the Government introduce ‘baby drop-hatches’ as a way to help unwed mothers to carry their children to term instead of aborting or abandoning the child. "These ‘baby-drop’ centres have been successfully implemented in Europe and the United States (see accompanying story) as a way of helping young mothers, especially teenagers, from resorting to other drastic means of terminating their unwanted pregnancies," said Professor Dr Fatimah Daud of University Malaya’s department of anthropology and social studies. Fatimah, who has personally seen such centres in Britain, said such baby-drop hatches could be set up at hospitals,...

GMCKS PRANIC HEALING is a highly developed and tested system of energy based healing techniques that utilizes "prana" to balance, harmonize and transform the body's energy processes.

You can cure almost all disease, disorders and injuries. You don't believe it? Then, try it before saying 'NO' to it. You can learn it to heal and protect your own family, just like learning first-aid. But, this is more then just first aid. You can instantly relieve your family members from fever, pain, sickness and disorders and for more serious cases you can perform follow-up pranic treatment until they are healed.

Give Your Partner a Flirting Pass

You are at a friend's party having a great time. You look over and see your date or partner laughing, chatting -- and could that be flirting? -- with someone else at the party. What do you do? (a) March over, wedging yourself in between your partner and the other person as you introduce yourself. (b) Trust your partner will not take it past innocent flirting, but keep one eye on the situation anyway. (c) Catch the eye of your partner, give them a smile, a wink, and a toast and hope they are having fun. The reason I ask? The fine art of innocent flirting has created many an after-party fight. Some people feel their partner should be giving all that attention exclusively to them instead of someone else. But what would happen if we began to see flirting as creating an abundance of good couple energy? The idea is, the more positive feelings you share with other people, the more you will get back. I want my partner to flirt. One afternoon while having coffee with a friend, I explained h...
