FW: Beware of Evil Acts by Malaysia Syaitans...!!
To All,
Beware of Evil Acts by Malaysia Syaitans...!!
News from a friend residing in the new Taman Palm Grove near the surau
I have something to share with you. (It happened 2 to 3
weeks ago) A lady could not open her remote controlled gate because someone tied her gate.
She thought her control was faulty and she came down from her car to check and she was chopped
(hands etc)by a man who had a
parang. She lost her handbag and she was hospitalised.
parang. She lost her handbag and she was hospitalised.
They tied up remote controlled gate and wait to strike. Please pass this and warn those who own remote controlled gates...to beware.

FW: Beware your handphone for updating??
Dear all
I cannot stop myself from sharing this with all of you.
Its all started when I received a call from someone claimed that he was Maxis asking me to shutdown phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question any shutdown my cell phone.
After 45 minutes I feel very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on back my cell phone back and I received several numbers of call;few numbers from my family members and the other numbers was from the number that call me before;3954380.
I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worry asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they received a call from someone claimed that they have me with them and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard my voice crying
out loud asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asking them to lodge a police report.
Right after that I received again call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which this time I refused to do so and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery run down. I myself lodge a police report and was informed by the officer that this
kind of scam always reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money. Bank can only returned back the money if the owners of the account agree to do
so or there is a court order.
Guys, be careful that this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!!
Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you asked to shutdown your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your friend should receive the same call.
Any Customer Service should introduce their NAME AT THE BEGINNING of the call. Ignore them if you don't get a name at the beginning of the call.. If you received instructions from unrecognized number/person that you are not sure, make your own judgment. The BEST is DO NOT RESPONSE
If you cannot pickup your loved one's call, DO GIVE A CALLBACK immediately! Update your loved one with ALTERNATE CONTACT wherever you are
If you think you are SMART that you cannot be cheated, You are wrong!
Be Safe and Stay Alert!

新山班兰医院HOSPITAL SULTAN ISMAL(大家努力转发吧!让全世界人类都知道马来西亚有这班人神共愤的禽兽医生和护士!)
新山班兰医院HOSPITAL SULTAN ISMAL
2009年1月1号，早上8点我进了HSI医院，（我是催生的，过了育产期）医生帮我检查，说子宫还没开，说第二天才放药催生。。。
2009年1月2号，早上七点，放了药催生，下午两点医生说开了2CM，到了晚上肚子就好痛好痛。。。一整晚没睡
2009年1月3号，早上凌晨四点，痛到好痛，护士就带我去检查，护士检查说只开了3CM，还不能生。。早上七点，医生检查说只开了3CM，不需要在放药了。。过了一小时，我躺在床上时，突然洋水破了，旁边的产妇就帮我去叫护士来。。护士就跟我说让它流吧。。到了中午十二点半，我老公来了，他看到我不对劲了，好像要生了，就去叫A护士来看下，没想到A护士竟说：现在才几点？哪里有医生，医生要两点才来，两点才能检查...我老公听了很生气，就去叫B护士来看，B护士检查了后，就说开了5CM了， 可以进产房了。。。进了产房，护士就帮我掉水。。到了下午两点，一位马来婆医生就进来了，（这位医生应该是实习医生，她样子好像只有二十三四岁）医生进来 就跟我挖到很大力，我就一直叫她轻点，但她故意越弄越大力。。过后来了两位护士和医生一起帮我接生，她们就去叫我老公进来帮助我，过后她们一直叫我出力， 我一停下，医生就挖更大力，（其实我一进产房的时候，已经软软了，一整夜没睡没吃，又发烧），我老公一直也帮忙我，过了一会儿，又有四五个护士进来帮忙， 我一直没力push，医生就说我女儿的心跳不好了，要快点push， 医生还说了一句话：你到底要不要生的，要不要出力的，你再不出力，如果孩子出来有什么问题不管我们的事，是你自己没有力生，你再不出力，我们就出去了，你 自己一个人在里面生。。结果她们就全部停下手在讲话。。过后她们就叫我老公出去等，过后。。一位护士打我的手，一位打我的脚另一位还更恐怖。。一直捏我， 捏到我很痛很痛，另两位就一直大大力按我的肚子。。。过了一小时多，医生看到不对劲了，就去打电话问别的医生（刚好我老公在旁边听到），过后，护士就推了 一架吸层机进来（吸婴儿用的），但拿进来后，医生反而没用还一直叫我出力，到了差不多四点，医生才用吸层机吸出来。。当宝宝吸出来的时候，医生就把她放在 我肚上，可是宝宝已经不会哭了，整身都变蓝了，护士就马上把宝宝 拿走了。。。我就一直躺在那里。。过了半小时，医生就进里笑着跟我说：你的宝宝不会哭，也不会呼吸，现在送进婴儿加护病房了，SORRY，我已经尽力了。。。（当我听了过后，我已经要傻掉了）过了一会，几个护士走来和我说：SORRY，我们会打你，捏你，是要你出力生。。。
3月22号：： 我昨天带我女儿去看中医了。。中医说我女儿可能以后会有很多后遗症。。。。可能比一般人慢发育，可能有颠型症，可能有多动症，最糟糕可能会说话慢，思想 慢，动作慢，不会照顾自己。。。。。现在只能靠吃中药，西药，推拿。。要等她五个多月才可以针纠。。就算针纠也不能一百巴仙好，如果可以好五十巴仙已经算 是幸运了。。。现在只好一直尽量去医治她了。。。

过了两个星期，我老公要求见院长。。。
当天就和院长，几位大医生，那位马来接生医生，和那天和我接生的六位护士一起开会。。。。
这是当天开会的情形：：：
院长：你们有什么不满？
老公：为什么我女儿会这样？
大医生：其实这种是个意外。。。
老公：为什么生不出还不开刀？
大医生：我们不会随便和别人开刀的，何况你的女儿又不会说很大。。。
老公：那这是谁的错？？如果开刀的话，我的女儿就不会缺氧，如果接生医生快点把她给吸出来，那她也不会缺氧，为什么那么迟才吸出来？？
大医生：其实怀孕是种风险，妈妈和宝宝也都有危险。。我们也不知道为什么有些宝宝一出来就会缺氧，在80个里就会有1个会这样，我们也不懂原因。。。
老公：你在接生时，有没有说过这些话？？（你到底要不要生的，要不要出力的，你再不出力，如果孩子出来有什么问题不管我们的事，是你自己没有力生，你再不出力，我们就出去了，你自己一个人在里面生）
接生医生（笑）：我没有说过这些话。。我是医生，怎么会说这些话。。。
老公：那你们有没有打我老婆的手脚，和捏她？？
护士：我们是按她的手脚，让她有力生，但我们没有捏她啊。。。
院长：这不是我们的错，也不是你们的错。。是个意外。。。
过后我们在婴儿加护病房里问儿科医生，为什么我女儿会这样？？医生说是因为她卡在里面太久了，而医生又迟把她吸出来，所以才会造成她缺氧，而且这也不是第一次了，时常发生，那里的接生医生应该检讨一下。。
我们到外面的小儿科，也是这样说，全说都是医生的错。。
如果开刀就不会发生这些事情了，但已经太迟了，都已经发生了。。。
医生说：别一般人的正常生产时间是一个小时。
而我生的时候就用了两个小时才生下来，你们说可笑吗？？
我一生都不会忘记的，我要让这里的人知道这一切。。。你们认为这是谁的错？？？我该怪自己没本事好好把她生下来，还是该怪医生的故意和疏忽？？

FW:Malaysia: Where will we be in 2020......?
Malaysia: Where will we be in 2020......?
Please read this email as it is very well-written and easy-to-understand....
especially the last few paragraphs, which makes a lot of sense .
Where is our direction for our next generation..?
For those who started work around 1973, a 1.3 Litre Japaness car was RM7,000.
Today the equivalent is.... let's say RM60,000.......8.5 times
In 1973 a double storey house was about RM45,000..or less.
Today it is about RM300,000............6.6 times
In 1973 an Engineer's pay was RM1,000 .
Today it is about RM2, 000+/-............2 times....
From 1973 to 2008........35 years......what is the Trend?
Bearish !!!!
In a stock market when the trend is bearish, what do we do? ..Exit !!!
When a country's trend is bearish what do we do?
This Bearish trend is more difficult to turn around as compared to the stock market.
I have used these 3 items : House, Car & Salary as a measurement of the country's performance for the past 35 years....
Foreigners also ask about these 3 items to gauge our standard of living.
There is a book I saw in MPH bookshop entitled : “ Malaysia : The Failed Nation”.
Some of you may be interested to read it. I agreed with the writer.....
This morning I was having coffee at McDonald (now the coffee..100 % Arabica beans..is quite good@ RM 2.90....free refill !!
I asked how much per hour is their pay?
RM3.00 x 8 hours = RM24 per day x 25 days = RM600 per month
My daughter works part-time during her University days..she worked at Gloria Jeans Coffee.... the pay?
Australian $14.00 @ 3.15 = RM44 per hour x 8 = RM352 per day x 25 days = RM8,800 ...13.3 times more !!!!!
......Price of houses in Perth is about the same in KL .
Price of cars are about 23% cheaper in Perth .
I think more and more people are becoming aware of this Bearish trend.
Developed country by 2020...means High income country!!
Let's look at some as of year 2005 (Financial Times)
USA GNP per capita US$35, 400
UK GNP per capita US$25,510
Australia GNP per capita US$19 ,530
Singapore GNP per capita US$20,690
These are developed countries by income measurement....
Malaysia 's GNP per capita US$3,540
Year 2020..developed country?
Really...a sad story. Worrying Trends, isn't it??
Ringgit sliding further and further under BN.
Recently, I interviewed some fresh graduates applying for jobs with my engineering company.
I accepted two applicants on a starting salary of RM1,600. It struck me as odd that 15 years
ago, I myself started work as a fresh graduate engineer for the same pay.
Indeed, if you compare the salaries of graduates now and 15 or even 20 years ago, you'll find
little difference but that their purchasing power is vastly different. It's the same story when you
compare salaries of shop assistants, office staff, factory workers and others.
To compound the effect of inflation, the ringgit has depreciated greatly against all major currencies.
The real income of most Malaysians has moved backwards.
This is why many Malaysians suffer under the petrol hike. The root of the problem is that our real
incomes have shrunk in the face of inflation and depreciated currency.. Malaysians have not been
spoiled by subsidy but are unable to move out of the time lock of stagnated and depreciated incomes.
If you compare the per capita incomes of Singapore , Hong Kong , Taiwan and South Korea , they are
a few multiples of ours although at independence all these countries were the on the same economic
level as Malaysia .
What has gone wrong? We were the rising star of East Asia , a country rich in natural resources with
the most promising potential.
The reason is massive corruption, plundering of resources, wastage of funds for huge non-economic
projects, anti-public interest deals with politically-linked companies and passing-of-the-buck to the
man in the street..
Four decades of NEP where education, economic and employment policies are defined by race ensured
that meritocracy took a back seat.
Our university standard has declined and the today best and brightest of our youths emigrate to escape
the racial inequility only to contribute to the economies of foreign lands.
The reputation of our judiciary which was held in high esteem worldwide has sunk so low that foreign
investors now insist on arbitration in Singapore in case of any dispute.
We also have a slew of oppressive laws such as the ISA, OSA, Uuca and PPPA which stifle free speech
and are designed to keep the ruling parties in power.
We have become less attractive to foreign investors and now lag behind our neighbours in Asean for foreign
direct investment. Even some corporations who have established themselves here are moving out.
All the economic and social malaise cannot help but affect the value of our currency. The strength of a
country's currency is after all, a reflection of its fundamentals.
Furthermore, Bank Negara has a policy of weak ringgit to help exporters, never mind the burden on the
common folk. The government is pro-corporation, not pro-rakyat.
While the poor and middle-class are squeezed, an elite group gets breathtakingly rich. We have the
distinction of having the worse income disparity in Asean. A re-distribution of wealth is under way from the
poor and middle-class to a select group of politically-connected elite.
The end result of this re-distribution will be a small group of super-rich while the majority are pushed into
poverty and the middle-class shrinks. This is what happens when the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer.
There is much that is wrong with Malaysia . The responsibility for pulling the country backwards can be laid
squarely at the door of the ruling regime. It is BN's mis-governance, racial politics and culture of patronage
which has seen the country regress economically and socially.
We seem to be sliding down a slippery slope, further down with each passing year of BN's rule. Another five
years of BN rule and we'll be at Indonesia 's standard under Suharto. Another 10 years and we'll be touching
the African standard. What a way to greet 2020!!!!
Is there any hope for Malaysia ?
Faced with the reality that BN will never change, many Malaysians desperate for change turn their lonely
eyes to Anwar Ibrahim.
Pakatan Raykat has promised to treat all races fairly, to plug wastage, fight corruption, reform the judiciary
and make Malaysia more competitive.
But some have questioned whether we can trust Anwar and his loose coalition of disparate parties..
The question is not whether we can trust Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat but whether we can afford not to.
Can we afford another ten years of BN's misrule?

你將被迫停在路邊而成為劫匪的囊中物~?
這是馬來西亞柔佛巴魯匪徒所採用的最新技倆~?
防不勝防~?請轉告你身邊的親朋戚友~?
請小心謹慎看待此事~
