Understanding the Lynas Rare Earth plant in 13 questions Q1: What is rare earth (RE)? Rare earth (RE) is just a metal, as ordinary as other metals like iron, silver and gold. The difference between them is we don’t encounter RE in daily life, e.g. you don’t wear RE bracelets, you don’t build the bridge with RE. It’s precious, valuable and essential for many high-tech industries. Q2: Who is LYNAS? LYNAS is the owner of the RE mine and Gebeng plant, incorporated and listed in Australia. LYNAS (M) Sdn. Bhd is wholly owned by LYNAS Inc. Q3: Where does the RE come from? What is it like? Like other metals, RE is found in ore (rock) in West Australia. The ore is mined, cleaned and crushed into sand or powder form, before being shipped to Kuantan. The journey is about 5000 km. The size of a single grain of powder can be 100 times smaller than the diameter of a strand of hair. Q4: Why do they take the RE from Australia and process it here? The official statement said that Australia cannot prov...

This is leadership by example . Have you ever seen CSL or KSK eating with the rakyat in this manner?     Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Saudara Lim Guan Eng sedang makan nasi bungkus, menu yang sama juga telah disediakan untuk semua delegasi.. makan disamping delegasi, tanpa meja VIP...

I make this statement so that all are aware at the state of policing and safety in Kuala Lumpur… there is no one to help you except faith in God, calmness and thinking carefully and rationally. Yesterday (Saturday) the 25 th June 2011, my sister, and my cousins went out for dinner. Unfortunately, after dinner, my cousin’s car broke down in Subang in front of my sister’s house. As the car could only be attended to the following day, my, my nephew decided to give my cousins a ride home to Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. By the time we left Subang Jaya it was about 11.45pm. My sister and I decided to accompany my nephew to leave my cousins at home. We watched them go into their home, waved goodbye and made our way back home via Jalan Titiwangsa. It was about 12.15am (26 June 2011) and the beginning of our traumatic experience. My nephew in the driver’s seat, I next to him in the passenger seat and my sister seated at the back seat directly behind the driver. ...

USE OF BOTTLE TOPS TO SEAL A BAG.....   WHO EVER THOUGHT OF THIS SHOULD GET A GREEN MEDAL   WHAT A GREAT IDEA. NO MORE TWIST TIES OR RUBBER BANDS. This method is WATER PROOF AND AIR TIGHT. GREAT! The guy who first thought of the idea should be given an award for originality!!! Seal Plastic Bags with Old Bottle Caps   Cut up a disposable water bottle and keep the neck and top, as in photo. Insert the plastic bag through the neck and screw the top to seal. The bag is made to be air-tight, such that water will not leak, the secret lies with the top and screw cap! This is a great idea to share. Good for us and the environment too.     Zip-top bags are great, but sometimes you buy something in bulk and you're stuck with an unsealable bag. Home-centric blog Re-Nest shows us an easy way to give these bags an airtight seal with an old water bottle. All you need to do is cut off the top of the bottle and take off the cap. Push the bag thro...

Please tell to everyone. Happen on Sunday 3 April 2011     (not the bloggers experience ...from a forwarded mail) This is my sad story, a one really unforgetable moment in my life. Finally its my turn to experience an unfortunate event. Yesterday, between 10.00 to 10.30am at Elite highway, I have been hijacked. I make my way home from work place around 9.30, reached Cyberjaya toll around 9.50 pm. I then take an exit to Shah Alam. Just about 50 metres after I take my left lane from the exit, I noticed one Mercedes E Class 240 from right lane behind me, take a closer range to me. At first, I don't bother, but then it came really near and wind down window on passenger side, I saw one Malay guy, with PDRM cap and long sleeve shirt look alike police traffic, ask me to pull aside. At that time, I was thinking, whether to run or not. If I run, I'm not sure if I'm fast enough to outrun them, or if they are real police, I would get shot, and if they are not real ...

The Malay Mail, Frankie D'Cruz, Monday, April 11th, 2011 A CLASSIFIED advertisement for the rental of a high-end condominium in Kuala Lumpur appallingly asserts NO INDIANS — throwing up a regrettable case of selective bias. It was the first time in local English media that I had come across a downright racist advertisement that steered prospective Indian tenants away. It was not meant for Indian nationals — it applied to any Indian, including me. I may be accused of overstepping racial lines but the advertisement in a national daily by a Malaysian Chinese lady working and living in Sydney, Australia, takes Indian bashing here to new depths of shame. The advertisement by the owner, a radiologist, for rental of her apartment suite at Bistari condominium near the PWTC and The Mall explicitly states “No Indians”, something so bold and blunt unseen in the housing ads of newspapers. Her problem with Indians: curry! She would not have her tenant cooking up a ...

As our Boleh Land is busy with sex videos, finger pointing and political attacks, wonder if we have learned anything from the Japanese the last 2 weeks? 10 THINGS TO LEARN FROM JAPAN  #LearnFromJapan                              1. THE CALM Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated. 2. THE DIGNITY Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture. 3. THE ABILITY The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall. 4. THE GRACE People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something. 5. THE ORDER No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding. 6. THE SACRIFICE Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid...

These are some of the Phases found in Interlok that controversial ,as if the book narrated and insult the living condition of Indian in pre-Independence time. The book remind us to realise how bad the living standard in motherland India , and also point to the idea that we are "pendatang" to Malaya and the Indian should be grateful to the the Malays to live in Malaysia, and don't ask for more.

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss t he preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd , 'Children are a gift from God,' he said. Silence fell on the c ongregation. In the back of the room, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, 'Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much, we wear raincoats.' And the congregation said , 'Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Om Kriya Babaji Nama AUM In Search of Babaji WIE Tracks Down the Elusive Yogi-Christ of the Himalayas by Carter Phipps ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Babaji has been chosen by God to remain in his body for the duration of this particular world cycle. Ages will come and go—still the deathless master, beholding the drama of the centuries, shall be present on this stage terrestrial." So began the legend of the immortal sage Babaji. These words were published in 1946, in the classic spiritual tale Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda—a book that was destined to have a major impact on the then just emerging East-West spiritual dialogue. It was a book that introduced thousands, if not millions, of aspiring seekers in the Western world to a man who, legend tells us, is perhaps the greatest of ancient saints, an immortal deathless yogi of India watching over this earthly plane like a benevolent ...
