font-family: Roboto; font-size: x-large;">Bertahun-tahun seorang petani miskin berusaha untuk menukar kehidupannya. Apa sahaja yang dibuatnya tidak berhasil. Dia masih miskin dan tidak mendapat bantuan. Pada satu hari, ketika bertani, dia terfikir: "Aku telah melakukan segala-gala untuk dapatkan kehidupan yang lebih baik. Kenapa aku tidak boleh tukar hidup aku? Mungkin nasib baik aku sedang tidur di hujung dunia. Lebih baik aku pergi dan kejutkan nasib baik aku. Pasti ini akan tukar hidup aku!. Dia membuat keputusan.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">Dia pun meninggalkan kehidupannya untuk mencari Nasib baiknya yang sedang tidur. Hari berganti malam ketika dia meneruskan perjalanannya dengan perasaan tidak sabar untuk mencari nasib baiknya. Dalam perjalanannya, dia terjumpa seekor singa yang sangat lemah. "Awak hendak pergi mana?" tanya singa itu. "Aku hendak kejutkan nasib baik aku yang sedang tidur untuk tukar nasib aku." Lelaki itu menjawab dengan bangga. Singa itu berkata "Aku dah lama sakit. Tolong bagitau pada nasib baik kau mengenai situasi aku dan minta dia berikan sesuatu untuk aku supaya aku boleh sihat semula." Lelaki itu pun bersetuju dan meneruskan perjalanannya.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Setelah lama berjalan, dia bertemu seorang petani sedang duduk di bawah sebatang pokok tua sambil menangis. "Kenapa awak menangis?" Lelaki itu bertanya sambil mendekatinya. Petani itu berkata, "Aku sangat miskin sampai tak mampu menjaga keluarga aku dengan betul. Anak-anak aku sering kelaparan. Aku tak tahu apa akan berlaku kepada mereka pada masa depan. Siapa awak dan nak pergi mana? petani itu bertanya. "Aku pernah berada seperti awak dulu sampai sekarang. Tapi sekarang aku hendak mencari nasib baik aku yang sedang tidur di hujung dunia. Kemudian aku tidak akan susah lagi." Lelaki itu menjawab dengan bangga. Petani itu kemudian meminta lelaki itu menanyakan nasib baiknya mengenai situasinya dan mencarikan jalan keluar daripada kesusahannya. Lelaki itu pun bersetuju dan meneruskan perjalanan.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Dalam perjalanannya, dia memasuki sebuah kampung di mana pemerintahnya ialah seorang yang sangat berumur dan berasa sangat kecewa. Pengawal kampung membawanya menemui pemerintah kerana dia orang asing. Pemuda itu menceritakan perihalnya kepada pemerintah. Baginda berkata, "Beta menganggap diri beta sebagai gagal kerana beta tidak mempunyai anak lelaki yang boleh mewarisi takhta beta. Beta sekarang sangat tua dan rakyat tidak lagi menuruti beta. Tolong beritahu kepada nasib baik awak mengenai masalah beta serta mencarikan jalan keluar." Orang itu pun bersetuju dan meneruskan perjalanannya.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Akhirnya, dia menemui nasib baiknya yang sedang tidur di dalam sebuah pondok usang. Dia mengejutkan nasibnya dengan bersungguh-sungguh dan menerangkan segala-gala kepadanya. "Jangan risau." Nasib baiknya berkata, "Mulai sekarang, aku akan sentiasa bersama awak dan apa saja awak lakukan. Beritahu kepada raja sekiranya dia mengahwinkan anak perempuan tunggalnya, beliau akan melahirkan seorang putra yang sangat pintar dan akan meneruskan pemerintahan baginda. Petani itu pula mempunyai harta karun di bawah pokok yang dia selalu duduk menangis. Singa itu pula mesti makan otak orang bodoh bagi merawat penyakitnya." Setelah pemuda itu mendengar dengan teliti, dia menjadi sangat gembira kerana nasib baiknya sudah terjaga.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Dalam perjalanan pulang, dia menemui raja dan menerangkan semua kepada. "Peluang yang sungguh baik!". Raja itu berfikir, "Orang ini boleh menyelamatkan dinasti beta. Beta akan memintanya mengahwini puteri beta," baginda membuat keputusan. Pemuda itu menolak tawaran raja dan berkata," Aku baru saja mengejutkan nasib baik aku. Aku akan menjadi seorang yang bernasib baik. Aku tidak boleh terkurung di sini! Aku akan mencari masa depan cerah aku."</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Kemudian, dia pergi menemui petani dan membantunya menemukan harta karun yang tersembunyi itu. "Mari dan tinggal bersama kami. Kita akan menjadi kaya untuk tinggal gembira bersama," Petani itu berkata sambil menunjukkan harta karun yang baru sahaja ditemukan. Pemuda itu ketawa dan berkata, " Tinggal di sini? Awak bergurau ke! Aku baru sahaja kejutkan nasib baik aku. Aku akan menjadi orang yang sangat bernasib baik.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;">Akhir sekali, pemuda itu pergi kepada singa dan menceritakan segala-galanya. "Bodoh sungguh orang ini!" Singa itu berfikir, "Dia telah menolak tawaran yang sangat menarik untuk mencari masa depan yang cerah. Aku tak percaya aku akan jumpa orang yang lebih bodoh daripada dia. Kalau aku nak sihat semula, otak orang ini akan penawar terbaik untuk aku!" Singa itu membuat keputusan.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Diterjemah oleh : Teratai Melur</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Emel : terataigenius@gmail.com</span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Inginkan khidmat terjemahan, edit dan baca pruf, sila emel ke alamat emel tertera diatas. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; margin: 0px 0px 1.3em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For translation, editing or proofreading services, do email to the above email address.</span></p>Teratai Melurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00108392833108817128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685975766234475640.post-32991615202854862292022-01-27T22:53:00.002-08:002022-01-27T22:53:58.916-08:00<p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><b>PEMANASAN GLOBAL </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: times;">1.</span><span style="font-family: times;"> Sejak dekad lalu, manusia telah mula menyedari dan mengambil berat mengenai pemanasan global. Kita percaya pemanasan ini disebabkan oleh penghasilan haba daripada pelbagai jenis aktiviti-aktiviti manusia. </span></span></p><div class="cf post-3618 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" id="post-3618" style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 30px 0px 25px; position: relative;"><div class="post-bodycopy cf" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span>2.</span><span> Populasi dunia telah meningkat dengan pesat. Setiap orang daripada kita menghasilkan haba. Kita perlu memasak makanan dan memanaskan badan kita dalam musim sejuk. Kita membakar minyak untuk enjin kita serta penghasilan kuasa dan semua ini menghasilkan haba.</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span>3.</span><span> Kita memotong hutan belantara dan melihat kebakaran hutan yang amat besar. Kesemua proses pembakaran ini menghasilkan haba dan karbon dioksida. Penambahan penempatan melibatkan pemotongan pokok yang mengurangkan haba dan penukaran CO2 kepada Oksigen. </span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">4. Semua ini menyumbang ke arah pemanasan global. Akan tetapi, kita tidak harus lupa bahawa bumi telah melalui banyak perubahan sejak jutaan tahun kewujudannya.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><span>5. Kita sedar pada satu masa bumi ini didiami oleh dinosaur yang tinggal dalam hutan belantara yang dipenuhi dengan pokok. Kita sedar dinosaur tersebut telah pupus bersama-sama dengan pokok. Kita sedar pokok telah melalui satu proses fizikal dan kimia yang ditukarkan kepada cecair, pejal dan </span><span>hidro</span><span>karbon bergas. Bagi memperoleh petroleum, kita melombong dan membakar hidrokarbon untuk menghasilkan tenaga. </span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">6. Kemudian berlaku zaman ais apabila bumi diliputi dengan ais. Tiada apa boleh tumbuh. Mungkin tidak terdapat hidupan, tiada manusia, tiada binatang atau pokok.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">7. Kemudian ais itu menjadi cair dan lautan menutupi planet. Tanah dataran muncul dari dasar laut dan membentuk kelompok tanah besar secara perlahan, ia membentuk kepada benua yang kita ketahui hari ini.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">8. Setelah lama kehidupan bertapak di planet,, akhirnya, manusia primitif muncul. Mereka berkembang sehingga manusia moden yang menghuni bumi.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">9. Dunia mengalami perubahan besar dalam mengharungi tempoh tersebut. Mungkin 100,000 tahun lalu, suhu dunia sesuai untuk kehidupan. Tumbuh-tumbuhan, binatang dan manusia berkembang maju. Bumi bergerak dan berputar senget setiap 24 jam agar utara dan selatan menjadi sejuk dan panas secara bersilang ganti sementara khatulistiwa kekal panas. Matahari bersinar di kawasan tropika sepanjang tahun.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">10. Peningkatan suhu yang sedang kita alami sekarang adalah sebahagian daripada perubahan yang planet sedang lalui. Ia mungkin menjadi lebih teruk. Kita harus bersedia untuk menghadapi perubahan ini. Kita harus menjangka lebih banyak bencana alam.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Ditulis oleh : Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Tarikh: 21hb Disember 2021</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Diterjemah oleh; Teratai Melur</span></p></div></div><div id="comments" style="border-top: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); box-sizing: border-box; padding-top: 20px;"><div class="comment-respond" id="respond" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 30px 0px 20px; padding-bottom: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;">Capaian: http://chedet.cc/?p=3628</span></div><div class="comment-respond" id="respond" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 30px 0px 20px; padding-bottom: 40px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="comment-respond" id="respond" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 30px 0px 20px; padding-bottom: 40px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>Teratai Melurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00108392833108817128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685975766234475640.post-4920940398690247482020-03-23T00:01:00.003-07:002020-03-23T00:01:36.618-07:00<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "merriweather" , serif; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">Here's my recipe for staying healthy</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I HAVE been asked repeatedly regarding my ability to function at this late age. I feel obliged to explain about my experience even if it is not based on scientific study.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Frankly I don’t know how I am what I am. All I can say is that, I have been fortunate in not suffering from the diseases that shorten one’s life.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I did have a heart attack but I survived. Heart attacks are not as fatal as they used to be. Whatever we may do to stay healthy, if we are assailed by these fatal or debilitating diseases, a long healthy life cannot be expected. Certainly, we cannot be active and function like healthy people. It is one thing to live long, but it is another thing to live long and well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Certainly, many things are within our control and we should do our best to control ourselves so that we stay healthy and probably live to a ripe old age.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The first thing that we can do to stay healthy is to have a good eating habit. We should eat to live and not live to eat. The body really does not need a lot of food except when one is young and growing. For them the food is needed to ensure good bodily growth. Still, the amount must not be more than what is needed. Obesity often follows over eating even among children and the young. And obesity is not good for health or longevity.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is difficult for a young person to know how much he should eat. But the shape of his body will tell whether he is eating too much or not.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Young people, particularly teenagers, tend to stay slim despite the large quantities of food they take. But if the body shows a tendency to accumulate fat around the waist then he should realise that he is eating beyond his body’s needs.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When that happens cut back on the amount you normally eat. Maybe reduce the quantity by one-fourth or one-third. Avoid carbohydrates (rice) and fatty (oily) food. Very quickly the tendency to accumulate fat around the belly will stop.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Children grow fat because of doting parents insisting on them taking a lot of food. Parents should not do that. Teach the children to eat more fruits and vegetable and less rice or carbohydrates. And certainly less sugar. Addiction to fast food is dangerous. Do not take more than two bottled or canned drinks a day.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The problem of obesity usually begins at the age of 40. The tendency at that age is to eat as much tasty food as available. When food is tasty, more of it would be taken.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The stomach responds to the bigger intake by becoming bigger. When the stomach is bigger, more food is needed to assuage the feeling of hunger. Overeating will result in weight gain. As the stomach grows bigger and bigger from overeating, more food would be needed to assuage hunger.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The body absorbs the food and converts it into fat, which is deposited all over the body. Obesity is bad for health.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With such a big body, the heart has to work harder to deliver blood and absorbed food to the overweight body. To cope with the heavier work, the heart enlarges. The blood pressure goes up bringing with it all kinds of symptoms and diseases related to high blood pressure.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Fatty plaques are deposited in the rteries, narrowing them. The blood flow may be blocked.A heart stroke may take place, sometimes with fatal results.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So in order to avoid blood pressure diseases, eat less and don’t grow fat. Besides the heart, the other organs of the body i.e. the liver, kidneys and pancreas will all be overstressed. Any one of these organs may fail and shorten life.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">Stay active</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Personal hygiene is obviously important. Nowadays people brush their teeth regularly. It is good to wash the mouth and brush the teeth after meals. At least brushing the teeth before sleeping is good. Using dental floss to clean in between teeth will help the teeth to remain healthy.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One characteristic of the human body is that all the parts need to be used all the time in order for them to be healthy and to function well. If they are not used or neglected they will wither and lose their ability to function well.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The best example is the muscles. If they are constantly used as in hard work, they will develop and function well. We see this in bodybuilders. Their muscles develop very well as they do regular muscular exercises.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">On the other hand, people who do not do much physical work tend to become flabby and weak. Their muscles do not stand out and their muscular strength would be below normal.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">People who are not well and are fond of lying down most of the time would find themselves quite weak when standing up. They cannot walk far and they cannot run much. It is because their muscle strength has diminished from disuse.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We see this among pensioners. They are often inactive, preferring to sit or lie down. Very quickly they become weak. Those who like to stay in bed would become very weak. Their health also deteriorates. They cannot resist common ailments.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not only will the muscles weaken but the bones also become weak with disuse. They become brittle and would break easily if they fall.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To avoid all these, old people (pensioners) should stay active. They should walk about and do some physical exercise. They will feel sleepy but they must resist the urge to sleep long hours, especially long sleep in the day time. A short nap is all right but prolonged sleep will weaken the body.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What goes for the muscles of the body also goes for the brain. If the brain is not used, it too will lose its functions. Forgetfulness is common among old people. Name and words cannot be remembered. The ability to string words into sentences would deteriorate.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Recognition of things and faces would become harder and harder. Forgetfulness would get worse and worse with ageing. When told something, it would not be retained for long. In fact, after getting the answer, the same question is asked again.These are the signs of senility.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To prevent deterioration of the brain, be active, talk, read and write, solve problems, argue and debate. People who do these things will retain much of the functions of the brain even as they age.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Reading story books is very good. It helps the memory and the ability to frame sentences. You will remember words which you have read again and again more easily.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">Read newspapers every day</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When talking or making speeches, memory of words and phrases and the alternatives would spring to the mind easily. If one does not read books or one seldom reads, the words do not come spontaneously when talking or making a speech. Special words in specific subjects, for example scientific words, or words used in economics, will be hard to remember when speaking or making speeches.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Reading newspapers every day also helps to keep the mind active and improves the capacity to form words and phrases.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It is normal for an old person to remember incidents in the past than recent incidents. But even this can be improved with reading and talking.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As we age the hairline tends to recede, exposing more and more of our scalp. We tend to become bald. In most cases you cannot do anything to stop it.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But some are caused by dandruff. The hair falls together with dandruff scales. If the dandruff can be got rid of, the hair would not fall as easily.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A good way to be rid of dandruff is to scratch the scalp while bathing in a hot shower every day. Initially, the hair will fall even more together with the scales of the dandruff. Eventually, the dandruff will diminish and disappear.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The scratching should go on as the action causes blood to go to the scalp. This will nourish the roots of the hair and make it healthy and strong. The hair will not fall so easily and hopefully the progress towards baldness will stop or at least slow down.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large; font-weight: 700;">Stand and sit upright</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another physical change associated with ageing is the hunching of the back. This is due to the softening of the bones of the vertebrae. The body of the backbone collapse at the front to become wedge-shaped causing the torso to bend forward. The result is a hunched back. In extreme cases the torso is so bent at the hip that the body is almost at a right angle to the legs.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This progressive bending can be mitigated or avoided by consciously sitting or standing upright. It also prevents loss of height. Horse riding helps as it is important to sit in the saddle consciously upright to avoid backache.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At all times stand upright like a military officer. Also, when walking it is important to keep a straight back. These deliberate straightening of the spinal column strengthens the bones and prevents them from collapsing.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another deformity associated with age is lumbar lordosis, when the lumbar vertebrae gets dragged forward because of the pull of a big stomach. This condition is often associated with beer drinking. The abdomen can be so big that the feet cannot be seen or even reached by the person.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The obvious way to avoid lumbar lordosis is not to overeat or drink beer and to stand up straight. How can one know one is standing up straight?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A good way is to stand with the back against a wall. Five parts of the body must touch the wall, namely the heels, calves, buttocks, scapula and occiput (back of the head). If you can do this then you are standing up straight. Try to maintain this position when you are standing up anywhere, anytime.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope that this little article can explain why the signs of ageing can be reduced. This is not a scientific study but they are just the impressions I get as I age. At all times I try to stand or sit upright. I have never eaten much even when the food tasted good. I try to get enough sleep. I do take short naps when in the car.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I train myself to be quite disciplined, controlling my feelings, especially in the presence of people. However, I do get emotional about loyalty to country.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Berulang kali saya diajukan soalan mengenai kebolehan saya untuk berfungsi di usia ini.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Saya pernah diserang serangan jantung tetapi sudah pulih. Serangan jantung tidak lagi berbahaya seperti dahulu. Kita boleh mengambil langkah-langkah sepatutnya unutk kekal sihat. Sekiranya kita diserang penyakit-penyakit berbahaya atau penyakit-penyakit yang melemahkan kita, amat sukar untuk kita menjalani kehidupan sihat. Apa yang pasti, kita tidak boleh aktif dan berfungsi seperti orang sihat. Panjang umur adalah satu hal tetapi panjang umur serta kekal sihat, lagi satu hal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sekiranya seseorang tidak diserang dengan penyakit-penyakit berbahaya, mereka boleh melakukan pelbagai aktiviti untuk kekal sihat dan berfungsi seperti manusia normal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Benar, banyak perkara berada dalam kawalan kita dan kita harus lakukan yang terbaik untuk mengawal diri kita agar kekal sihat dan panjang umur.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Displin atau keupayaan kita mengwal apa yang kita lakukan dalam kehidupan kita adalah amalan penyelamat hidup kita. Kita harus sentiasa cuba mengawal keinginan kita.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Amalan pemakanan sihat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Perkara pertama yang kita boleh lakukan untuk kekal sihat adalah mengamalkan amalan pemakanan sihat. Kita seharusnya makan untuk hidup dan bukannya hidup untuk makan. Sebenarnya, badan kita tidak memerlukan banyak makanan kecuali bagi mereka yang masih muda dan sedang membesar. Ini kerana mereka memerlukan makanan untuk tumbesaran. Namun, makanan yang diambil tidak harus melebihi daripada sepatutnya. Apabila terlebih makan, kemungkinan akan mengalami obesiti akan meningkat, tidak kira sama ada golongan kanak-kanak dan golongan muda. Obesiti tidak baik untuk kesihatan dan dalam jangka masa panjang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sukar untuk orang muda mengetahui berapa banyakkah yang harus merka makan tetapi bentuk badannya akan menunjukkan sama ada dia makan secara berlebihan atau tidak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Orang muda, khususnya, golongan remaja akan kekal ramping walaupun makan secara berlebihan. Akan tetapi, sekiranya badan mereka mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda lemak berkumpul di bahagian pinggang, maka dia harus sedar bahawa dia sedang makan melebihi keperluan badannya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Apabila ini berlaku, kurangkan jumlah makanan yang anda makan. Mungkin kurangkan kuantiti makanan sebanyak satu perempat atau satu pertiga. Elakkan mengambil karbohidrat (nasi) dan makanan menggemukkan (berminyak). Lemak yang berkumpul di pinggang anda akan hilang dengan pantas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kanak-kanak mengalami berat badan berlebihan kerana ibu bapa memaksa mereka makan secara berlebihan. Ibu bapa tidak harus berbuat demikian. Ajar anak-anak agar makan lebih banyak buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran dan kurangkan makan nasi atau karbohidrat dan gula. Ketagihan memakan makanan segera amat bahaya. Jangan minum lebih daripada dua botol atau minuman dalam tin dalam sehari.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Selalunya, masalah obesiti akan bermula di usia 40 tahun. Keinginan untuk makan secara berlebihan akan bermula di usia ini. Lebih banyak kuantiti makanan akan diambil apabila makanan sedap.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Perut akan memberi maklum balas kepada makanan yang dimakan secara berlebihan dengan menjadi lebih besar. Apabila perut menjadi besar, lebih banyak makanan diperlukan untuk memenuhi perasaan lapar. Makan secara berlebihan akan menyebabkan kenaikan berat badan. Apabila perut menjadi semakin besar yang disebabkan oleh makan secara berlebihan, lebih banyak makanan diperlukan untuk memenuhi rasa lapar. Badan akan menyerap makanan dan menukarkannya kepada lemak yang akan tertumpu di seluruh badan. Obesiti bahaya untuk kesihatan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Apabila badan menjadi besar, jantung terpaksa bekerja secara berlebihan untuk menyalurkan darah dan menyerap makanan untuk badan berat yang berlebihan. Bagi menampung kerja yang semakin berat, jantung akan menjadi semakin besar. Apabila tekanan darah naik, ia akan mengundang pelbagai jenis simptom dan pelbagai penyakit berkaitan dengan tekanan darah tinggi. Plak lemak berkumpul di arteri dan menyempitkannya. Pengaliran darah mungkin tersekat dan mungkin mengakibatkan strok jantung yang kadang kala membahayakan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Untuk mengelakkan penyakit-penyakit berkaitan dengan tekanan darah, kurangkan amalan pemakanan anda dan elakkan menambah berat badan. Selain daripada jantung, organ-organ lain dalam badan seperti hati, buah pinggang dan pankreas turut menjadi terlebih stres. Mana-mana organ ini mungkin akan gagal dan memendekkan jangka hayat.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kekal aktif</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kebersihan diri sangat penting. Pada masa kini, semua orang sentiasa menggosok gigi. Berkumur dan menggososk gigi setelah makan adalah amalan baik. Sekurang-kurangnya, amat baik menggosok gigi sebelum tidur. Gunakan flos gigi untuk membersihkan celah-celah gigi akan membantu gigi untuk kekal sihat. Satu kriteria badan manusia adalah semua bahagian badan harus sentiasa digunakan agar ia sihat dan berfungsi dengan baik. Jika ia tidak digunakan atau tidak diendahkan, ia akan menyebabkan kurang upaya dan hilang keupayaan untuk berfungsi dengan baik.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Contoh terbaik ialah otot. Jika ia sentiasa digunakan, ia akan berkembang dan berfungsi dengan baik. Kita boleh melihat contoh ini dalam golongan bina badan. Ototo-otot mereka menjadi elok kerana mereka sentiasa melakukan senaman berkaitan otot. Pada masa sama, mereka yang kurang melakukan aktiviti fizikal, berupaya menjadi geleber dan lemah. Otot-otot yang tidak kuat dan kekuatan otot-otot mereka berada di tahap kurang normal.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Mereka yang kurang sihat dan sering baring akan menjadi lemah apabila berdiri. Mereka tidak boleh berjalan jauh dan tidak boleh berlari lama. Ini kerana kekuatan otot mereka telah berkurangan kerana tidak digunakan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Kita boleh melihat keadaan ini dalam kalangan golongan pesara. Golongan ini sering kurang aktif, lebih suka duduk atau baring serta menjadi lemah dengan cepat. Mereka yang suka baring akan menjadi sangat lemah. Kesihatan mereka juga akan terjejas. Mereka tidak boleh menentang penyakit-penyakit biasa. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bukan sahaja otot-otot mereka menjadi lemah tetapi tulang mereka turut menjadi lemah kerana tidak digunakan. Ia akna menjadi raput dan mudah patah sekiranya mereka terjatuh.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bagi mengelakkan semua ini, golongan berumur (pesara) harus kekal aktif. Mereka harus berjalan dan lakukan senaman fizikal. Mereka akan merasa mengantuk tetapi mereka harus melawan keinginan untuk tidur dengan lama, terutama sekali tidur lama pada waktu siang. Tidur sebentar dibenarkan tetapi tidur lama akan melemahkan badan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Otak juga memerlukan senaman seperti otot. Jika otot tidak digunakan, ia juga akan kehilangan fungsinya. Cepat lupa amat biasa dalam kalangan golongan berumur. Nama dan perkataan tidak dapat diingati. Keupayaan untuk membuat ayat menjadi sukar. Keupayaan mengenali barangan dan wajah akan menjadi semakin sukar. Sikap pelupa ini akan bertambah dengan peningkatan usia. Apabila diberitahu sesuatu, ia hanya diingati dalam tempoh yang singkat. Malah, setelah mendapat jawapan, soalan yang sama akan ditanya berulang kali. Ini adalah tanda-tanda nyanyuk.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Bagi menghalang kemerosotan fungsi otak, jadi aktif, berbual, baca dan tulis, selesaikan masalah, bincang dan berdebat. Mereka yang melakukan perkara-perkara ini akan dapat mengekalkan kebanyakkan fungsi otak dengan peningkatan umur.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Amalan membaca buku cerita adalah amalan yang sangat bagus. Ia membantu memori dan keupayaan membentuk perkataan. Anda akan mengingati dengan mudah perkataan yang telah anda baca secara berulang.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Baca surat khabar setiap hari</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Apabila memberi atau membuat ucapan, memori perkataan dan memori ayat dan perkataan gantian akan muncul dalam minda dengan mudah. Jika seseorang tidak mebaca buku atau jarang membaca, perkataan-perkataan tidak akan muncul dengan mudah apabila memberi atau membuat ucapan. Perkataan-perkataan spesifik dalam subjek spesifik, contohnya, perkataan saintifik atau perkataan digunakan dalam bidang ekonomi sukar unutk diingati apabila bercakap atau ketika membuat ucapan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Membaca surat khabar setiap hari turut membantu minda kekal aktif dan menambah baik kapasiti dalam membentuk perkataan dan frasa.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Memang normal untuk orang berumur untuk mengingati kejadian yang berlaku pada masa hadapan daripada kejadian yang berlaku sekarang. Ini boleh ditambah baik dengan membaca dan dengan berbual.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Semakin kita berumur, rambut akan semakin gugur, menunjukkan kulit kepada dan akan menyebabkan botak. Dalam kebanyakkan kes, anda tidak dapat melakukan apa-apa untuk menghalangnya.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Akan tetapi, ada kalanya ia disebabkan oleh kelemumur, keguguran rambut seiring dengan jumlah kelemumur. Jika kelemumur dapat dihilangkan, rambut tidak akan gugur dengan mudah.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cara baik untuk menghilangkan kemumur adalah dengan mengurut kulit kepala ketika mandi dengan air panas setiap pagi. Pada peringkat permulaan, rambut akan gugur dengan lebih banyak mengikut jumlah kelemumur. Akhirnya, kelumumur akan berkurangan dan akhirnya hilang. Amalan mengurut kulit kepala harus diteruskan kerana ia dapat membantu pengaliran darah ke kulit kepala. Ini akan menyuburkan akar rambut dan menjadikannya sihat dan kuat. Rambut tidak akan gugur dengan mudah dan diharap usaha ini akan mengurangkan atau menghentikan masalah botak.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Berdiri dan duduk dengan tegak</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Satu lagi perubahan fizikal yang dikaitkan dengan peningkatan usia adalah menjadi bongkok. Ini disebabkan oleh tulang vertebra menjadi lembut. Bahagian tulang belakang badan menolak ke hadapan lalu membentuk bentuk bujur yang menyebabkan badan membengkok ke hadapan. Ini mengakibatkan bongkok. Dalam kes-kes amat teruk, badan membengkok di bahagian pinggul sehingga badan berada hampir dengan kaki.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Pembongkokan berterusan ini boleh dikurangkan atau dihindar dengan sentiasa duduk dengan tegak atau berdiri dengan tegak. Ia juga menghalang kekurangan tinggi. Menunggang kuda membantu kerana penting untuk duduk tegak di pelana kuda bagi mengelakkan sakit belakang. Pada setiap masa, berdiri tegak seperti pegawai tentera. Apabila berjalan, amat penting berjalan dengan tegak. Usaha menegakkan kolum spina menguatkan tulang serta menghalangnya daripada jatuh.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Salah satu ketidak sempurnaan yang dikaitkan dengan umur adalah <i>lumbar lordosis</i>. Ini berlaku apabila vertebra <i>lumbra</i> ditarik ke hadapan yang disebabkan oleh ketarikan perut yang besar. Keadaan ini sering dikaitkan dengan meminum bir. Abdomen boleh menjadi sangat besar sehingga mereka tidak dapat atau menyentuh kaki mereka.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Cara yang paling mudah untuk menghalang <i>lumbar lordosis</i> adalah elakkan makan secara berlebihan atau meminum bir dan berdiri tegak. Bagaimanakah seseorang mengetahui bahawa dia sedang berdiri tegak?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Satu cara baik untuk berdiri adalah dengan bersandar pada dinding. Lima bahagian badan harus menyentuh dinding iaitu tumit, betis, punggung, tulang belikat dan bahagian belakang kepala. Jika anda dapat melakukan ini, bermakna anda sedang berdiri tegak. Cuba kekalkan kedudukan ini apabila anda sedang berdiri pada setiap masa dan di mana-mana jua.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Saua harap rencana ringkas ini mampu menerangkan cara-cara mengurangkan tanda-tanda penuaan. Ini bukan satu kajian saintifik tetapi hanya tanggapan yang saya lihat ketika umur saya meningkat. Saya cuba untuk berdiri tegak atau duduk tegak pada setiap masa. Saya tidak pernah makan banyak walaupun makanan itu sedap. Saya cuba untuk mendapatkan cukup tidur. Saya tidur sebentar ketika dalam kereta. Saya melatih diri saya agar berdisplin, kawal perasaan terutama di hadapan orang ramai. Namun, saya menjadi beremosi akan kesetiaan pada negara.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The place is infested with mosquitoes and one glides to a halt on Siew Mah's sweat-soaked right forearm. Yet, the guerrilla commander of Pahang's 11th Regiment and close confidante of Chin Peng remains motionless at his ambush station.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">His eyes and mind are transfixed on the section of narrow twisting road further in front that forms an almost perfect S-shaped bend.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Siew Mah moves his head slowly to check on the positions of the rest of his 38-member platoon.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The movement startles the mosquito and it quickly flies away without having the chance to draw blood. From the corner of his eyes, the commander traces the tracks connected to his three Bren-gun firing positions.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Satisfied, he turns to check the crucial withdrawal route where he and his men will dissolve back into the jungle once the act had been committed.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The date is Oct 6, 1951 and the communist terrorists have been frozen in their respective posts for two whole days, waiting patiently to ambush a military convoy which they’d been told would pass that way.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Siew Mah badly needed to get his hands on arms to shore up his fast depleting weapons cache.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unfortunately for the bandits, the information is flawed as the promised fleet of military vehicles didn’t turn up. Only private vehicles are seen passing regularly up and down the hill, which was just a few kilometres north of Tras. Further up lies the popular hill resort of Fraser's Hill.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">By noon, Siew Mah gives the signal to withdraw but his men are unwilling to throw in the towel. Their suggestion to attack the next official car flying pennants is accepted by their leader. Siew Mah realises that after all the trouble his men had gone through in preparation for the intended ambush, he had to give them a win to boost their otherwise sagging morale.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Nearly an hour later, a three-vehicle motorcade swings around the corner. Leading the pack is a Land-Rover carrying six policemen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Directly behind is a black chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce flying the Union Jack.

Unaware that his motorcade had been just a blind target, Gurney looks at his wife and aide crouching on the car floor. He knows that he has to act fast to save their lives.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The general public was numbed by shock when Miller's story was published the next day. Considered the blackest day in the history of the Malayan Emergency, Gurney's death began raising questions in the mind of the people. Many began to wonder if the authorities were ever going to triumph over the communists who seemed to be growing from strength to strength since their reign of terror began three years ago.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The audacity of the terrorists in assassinating the heavily-escorted British High Commissioner, one considered in the hierarchy of British Imperial rule to be as inviolable as the Queen, in broad daylight clearly showed that the authorities had underestimated the strength of the insurrection.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Succeeding Sir Edward Gent, Gurney had been Chief Secretary in Palestine during the last two years of the British mandate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Described as a slight man of 50, with receding hairline and grey moustache, Gurney's self-confidence was almost legendary during the last few frightful months in the Middle East. He even insisted on his daily round of golf up until the day when he theatrically wound up the administration by taking the last plane out of Palestine.</span></div>

</span></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Upon his arrival in Kuala Lumpur, Gurney was quick to grasp the situation and realised the fundamental truth that the communist uprising was a political war where arms alone could never subdue. To him, the major key to victory was political stability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Malayan government had to function and, more importantly, the people must see the administration run 'business as usual' style or else there’d be no hope for the millions caught up in the turmoil. Gurney strongly believed that without hope and belief in the government, the only alternative for the people would be communism.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Instead of direct confrontation, Gurney gave the world its first glimpse of how communist terror tactics could be effectively eroded by launching a plan which marked an unprecedented social revolution never before seen in the history of British overseas rule.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gurney set in place a plan to uproot and resettle around 600,000 Chinese squatters living on land near the jungle fringe and put them in barbed wired new villages with round the clock security.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Squatters are known to have already existed ever since the time when the Chinese began immigrating to Malaya in huge numbers in the late 19th century.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But their numbers began to increase at a phenomenal rate during the Japanese Occupation. During those times of great hardship, many starving Chinese abandoned the city and settled with their families on land acquired by simply clearing the jungle.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Chin Peng already realised the value of these squatters when he was heading the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), a guerrilla force that opposed the Japanese army during Second World War.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A staunch British ally at that time, Chin Peng and his men received huge supplies of weapons, cash and tactical knowledge to wreak havoc on the Japanese troops.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Malaya was thrown into chaos once the Japanese surrendered on Aug 15, 1945 as the bulk of the British troops had yet to return to assume control. Attempting to fill the power vacuum, the MPAJA emerged from the jungle and began their reign of terror by killing and torturing those suspected of abetting the Japanese during the war.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Looking at several MPAJA issued leaflets in my collection, it’s evident that the guerrillas were intent upon seizing control of most major towns in the country and set up their own communist administration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the jungle, Chin Peng depended heavily on the squatters for food and information.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">He launched ferocious campaigns of intimidation after realising that quite a number of the squatters were reluctant to help. Waverers quickly toed the line when their family members were hacked to death in front of their very eyes. "Cooperate or we’ll kill another one" soon became the guerrillas' trademark parting shot before slipping back into the jungle.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">These atrocities were among the many reasons that helped Gurney persuade the squatters to move to the safety of the new villages. First, however, Gurney had to overcome the stumbling block of land acquisition before his plan could become a reality.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Gurney formed a Squatters' Committee and started work on what was to become known as the Briggs Plan. Using patience, tact and understanding he successfully persuaded the Malay rulers that it was to their advantage to give away land titles for him to build new villages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The villagers at Tras were accused of harbouring Gurney's murderers and the entire village had to move out to Ipoh and was only allowed to return in 1958.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Little by little, Gurney tightened the noose around his enemy. He gave the police far-reaching powers to detain suspects for up to two years without trial, impose curfews, conduct house searches without warrant and impose strict control on food and traffic movements. Death sentences were mandatory for those convicted of illegally carrying arms.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">These measures, coupled with the death of several senior communist leaders in the early days of the Emergency, caused a great upheaval among Chin Peng's men. Unknown to the British at that time, a Central Executive document telling of disenchantment in the ranks was circulating among the guerrillas.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Malayan government could have routed the communist terrorists by the end of 1949 if only it had realised how close they were to total defeat. Instead, the Malayan government took an unexplainable breather in its war against terror.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">That fatal mistake on Gurney's part added many more years to the costly Emergency. It also gave Chin Peng the golden opportunity to re-group and prepare for his next massive offensive, the very one that played a part in Gurney's untimely death.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">PERJUANGAN TERAKHIR HENRY GURNEY</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ulang tahun pembunuhan Sir Henry Gurney ke-67 mendorong penulis mengimbas kembali rentetan peristiwa yang berlaku pada awal Zaman Darurat.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="468" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/vibes071018alangurneya_1538892070.jpg" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" width="640" /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-style: italic;">Perarakan pengebumian Gurney melalui jalan raya di Kuala Lumpur pada 8 Okt 1951</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Persekitaran dipenuhi dengan nyamuk dan seekor nyamuk menghinggap di atas lengan kanan berpeluh Siew Mah. Namun, beliau dari Regimen ke-11 Pahang dan orang kepercayaan Chin Peng kekal berada di kedudukannya untuk serangan hendap.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mata dan fikirannya tertumpu pada bahagian belok sempit jalan raya di hadapan yang seolah-oleh bentuk S sempurna.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Secara perlahan-lahan Siew Mah menoleh untuk melihat kedudukan ahli pasukannya seramai 38 orang.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pergerakan ini mengejutkan nyamuk lalu ia terbang dengan pantas tanpa berpeluang untuk menghisap darah. Dari tepi matanya, komander itu menjejaki langkah menuju ke arah tiga kedudukan penembak.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Berasa puas hati, dia mengalihkan pandangannya untuk melihat jalan keluar penting bagi dia dan pasukannya untuk memasuki semula hutan setelah selesai menjalankan tugas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hari itu bertarikh 6 Okt 1951 dan pengganas-pengganas komunis telah berkubu di tempat masing-masing selama dua hari. Mereka menunggu dengan sabar untuk menyerang hendap sebuah konvoi tentera yang dikhabarkan akan melalui jalan itu. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Siew Mah perlu menambah senjata-senjata yang sedang kehabisan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Malangnya bagi penjahat-penjahat tersebut, maklumat yang diberikan tidak tepat kerana rombongan kenderaan tentera tidak muncul-muncul. Hanya kenderaan persendirian melalui bukit yang terletak beberapa kilometer <span style="color: red;">di</span> sebalik Bukit Fraser.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Menjelang tengah hari, Siew Mah memberikan tanda agar berundur tetapi pasukannya enggan berbuat demikian. Mereka mencadangkan agar menyerang kenderaan rasmi yang mengibarkan panji-panji. Idea ini diterima oleh ketua mereka. Siew Mah menyedari akan penat lelah yang dilalui oleh anak-anak buahnya bagi serangan hendap ini. Dia harus memberikan mereka kemenangan bagi menaikkan semangat mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">SASARAN YANG TIDAK DISANGKA</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Setelah hampir sejam menunggu, perarakan tiga buah kereta membelok di lencongan. Mengetuai rombongan tersebut adalah sebuah kereta </span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Land-</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Rover </i>yang membawa enam anggota polis.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Betul-betul di belakang Land-Rover ialah kereta <i>Rolls-Royce</i> mengibarkan bendera <i>Union Jack.</i> dipandu oleh pemandu. Kenderaan ketiga tidak dapat dilihat dari kedudukan strategik Siew Mah. Kaji selidik mengenai kejadian ini menunjukkan enjin kereta telah terhenti.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tanpa agak-agak, Siew Mah memberikan isyarat kepada anak-anak buahnya untuk melepaskan tembakan. Para penyerang tidak menyedari penumpang kereta <i>Rolls Royce</i> ialah <i>Sir Henry Gurney</i>, Duta Besar Malaya, isterinya serta setiausahanya, <i>JD Staples</i> dalam perjalanan ke Bukit Fraser untuk menghabiskan masa hujung minggu.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Kereta tersebut berhenti secara perlahan di tepi jalan raya dengan pemandunya hampir dihujani peluru serta tayar kereta yang telah rosak. <i>Gurney</i> tidak menyedari konvoinya telah menjadi sasaran tanpa dirancang, beliau melihat isteri dan pemandunya membongkok di lantai kereta dan beliau menyedari harus bertindak pantas bagi menyelamatkan nyawa mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tanpa membuang masa, Gurney terus membuka pintu kereta, melangkah keluar dan menutup pintu kereta dengan kuat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lalu, beliau berjalan di tepi jalan raya. Para pengganas pasti terperanjat dengan perlakuan beliau. Mereka terhenti sejenak sebelum menghujani beliau dengan peluru membuatkan beliau jatuh tersungkur di atas tanah berumput. Duta Besar British ke Malaysa telah meninggal dunia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Walaupun kejadian ini berlaku 67 tahun lalu namun ia mudah untuk digambarkan apakah yang berlaku pada hari Sabtu yang malang itu. Ini berdasarkan pada laporan dalam surat khabar <i>Straits Times</i> yang saya temukan secara tidak sengaja ketika sedang mencari sebuah buku yang hilang dalam timbunan bahan-bahan bacaan dalam bilik bacaan saya.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="508" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/vibes071018alangurneyh_1538892078.jpg" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><i>Gurney's Rolls Royce was riddled with 35 bullet holes.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Walaupun keratan akhbar ini sudah lusuh namun saya masih dapat membaca rencana yang ditulis secara terperinci oleh <i>Harry Miller</i>. Ia ditulis setelah beliau tiba di tempat kejadian dan menemu bual mangsa terselamat termasuk isteri mendiang <i>Gurney</i> dan <i>Staples</i>. Amat menakjubkan mereka berdua terselamat tanpa sebarang kecederaan kerana terdapat 35 kesan tembakan pada badan kereta <i>Rolls Royce</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">HARI MALANG</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pada keesokan harinya, orang awam tergamam terkejut apabila kisah yang ditulis oleh <i>Miller</i> disiarkan. Ia dianggap sebagai hari paling malang dalam sejarah Darurat Malaya dan kematian <i>Gurney</i> mula membangkitkan soalan dalam minda rakyat. Ramai mula tertanya-tanya dapatkah pihak berkuasa mengalahkan pihak komunis yang seolah-olah semakin kuat sejak mereka memulakan keganasan tiga tahun lalu.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keberanian para pengganas membunuh Duta British ke Malaya yang dikawal rapi serta dianggap hierarki <i>Imperial British</i> seperti Ratu England yang tidak boleh dilanggar, secara terang-terangan menunjukkan pihak berkuasa telah salah anggap akan kekuatan pengganas.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dua hari kemudian ribuan orang daripada pelbagai lapisan masyarakat Kuala Lumpur berbaris di tepi jalan raya untuk menyaksikan keranda </span><i style="color: #333333; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Gurney</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> di atas pendati senjata menuju ke arah Tanah Perkuburan Perang Cheras di Kuala Lumpur. Ramai yang menangis merapati Gurney yang menjadi Ketua Arkitek polis British sejak hari pertama beliau tiba di Malaya pada 1 Okt 1948.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Setibanya beliau di Kuala Lumpur, <i>Gurney </i>menyedari situasi sekeliling dan keadaan sebenar akan kebangkitan komunis adalah perang politik yang tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan menggunakan senjata. Baginya, kejayaan sebenar adalah melalui kestabilan politik.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Kerajaan Malaya harus terus beroperasi, lebih penting lagi, rakyat harus melihat pentadbiran negara beroperasi seperti biasa, jika tidak, tiada harapan lagi bagi jutaan rakyat yang terlibat dalam kancah ini. <i>Gurney</i> percaya tanpa harapan dan kepercayaan terhadap kerajaan, rakyat akan berpaling kepada komunis.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sleep is not a habit, and falling asleep can be easily impacted by the routines you have set in place (or not), as well as by physiological elements resulting from stress, anxiety, or depression.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of us experience a period when falling asleep is a challenge, for one reason or another, but it is possible to improve your chances of falling asleep with methods that range from improving your routine and eating well, to using relaxation techniques.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are routinely unable to fall asleep over a long period of time, it is possible your are suffering from a sleep disorder, and this should be diagnosed and treated by your doctor or other qualified.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Pay attention to what you are eating</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- There are a number of things you can do to help yourself sleep better, just by focusing on what you are eating and doing during the day. Some foods are known to aid sleep - eat carbohydrates, bananas, peanuts, and figs, and have milkbased drinks, as these contain tryptophnas, a precursor for creating melatonin. Some snackes to consider include: cookies and milk, sliced banana with chopped dates, and wholegrain bread with lettuce.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Avoid foods high in protein prior bedtime. These can keep you awake because they contain elevated levels of tyrosine. Also avoid hot curries and other very spicy foods prior to bed time.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do not go to bed hungry</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- this will make it harder to fall asleep.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Avoid having a large meal close to bedtime. This can result in indigestion, reflux, or heartbunn. Also reduce your intake of alcohol, nicotine, sugar, and caffeine.</div>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Shift exercise to morning time</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Don't exercise in the three hours leading up to bedtime. Exercise awakens you, with the impact lasting for up to three hours after you have completed the exercise, as well as decreasing the secretion of melatonin (needed to help you sleep). Instead, exercise during the day or late afternoon. Exercise is ideal first thing in the morning, as it helps you to wake up and stay metabolised throughout the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Find ways to unwind!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Reduce your stress levels</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Stress, anxiety, worry, and depression can all contribute to an inability to fall asleep. Seek help for stress management, including finding positive techniques to handle stress such as yoga, relaxation, cognitive bahavioural therapy, self-hyposis, assertiveness training, meditation, exercise, visualisation, etc. Psychotherapy can be helpful if you have underlying anxiety, trauma, or depression issues.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Establish a bedtime routine</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Develop a pattern of doing the same thing prior to bed each time, for example, having a warm drink, a bath, a short read, etc. Have a warm bath before bedtime. This can help to relax you, and unwind.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Train your mind to accept a set bedtime every night, and the same waking up time every day (with a little leeway for seasonal changes). Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time, even on weekends. If the problem still persists, just keep repeating until you create a new habit.</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Wear comfortable clothing</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Clothes for sleeping are best when loose, comfortable, and not restrictive. Avoid wearing anything too hot, or that leaves you feeling chilly. Shorts or light pajamas are often the most comfortable.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Position yourself comfortably in bed. Always choose the position that works best for you. and not try to force yourself to sleep in a position that feels unnatural. Make sure your pillow is neither too flat, nor too high because this may put a strain on your neck.</div>
</span><br />
<br />

6. Use aromatherapy and scent solutions</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- There are a number of aromatherapy suggestions that might help you to fall asleep. For example, lemon balm oil, chamomile oil, lavender oil, and marjoram can be used singly or in combination for the bath, a massage, or as an air or pillow spray.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">A sleep-promoting bath can be made from six drops chamomile oil, two drops lovage oli, and two drops lime flower oil, added to a warm to hot bath</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>MEMUDAHKAN TIDUR</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">idur bukannya tabiat dan mudah terganggu dengan rutin yang anda tentukan (atau tidak tentukan) serta elemen fisiologi yang berpunca daripada tekanan, kebimbangan atau kemurungan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Disebabkan oleh sebab-sebab tertentu, kebanyakan kita pernah melalui situasi sukar untuk tidur, Bagaimana pun, terdapat cara meningkatkan peluang mudah tidur, bermula daripada menambah baik rutin anda dan menjaga pemakanan anda serta mengamalkan teknik rehat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jika secara rutin anda tidak dapat tidur dalam jangka masa panjang, ada kemungkinan anda sedang mengalami masalah tidur dan ini harus dirawat oleh doktor anda atau profesional kesihatan bertauliah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Tumpukan perhatian terhadap amalan pemakanan anda</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">- </span><span style="font-size: large;">Terdapat beberapa perkara anda boleh lakukan untuk membantu anda untuk tidur. Fokus kepada amalan pemakanan anda dan apa yang anda lakukan pada waktu siang. Terdapat makanan yang diketahui membantu untuk tidur - karbohidrat, buah pisang, kekacang dan buah tin dan minum minuman mengandungi susu kerana ia mengandungi <i><span style="color: red;">tryptophans</span>,</i> satu elemen untuk membentuk melatonin. Antara makanannya termasuk : biskut bersama susu, buah pisang yang dipotong kecil-kecil dengan buah kurma telah dicincang dan roti gandum dengan daun salad.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan memakan makanan berprotein tinggi ketika waktu tidur. Ia boleh membuat anda terjaga kerana mengandungi tahap peningkatan tirosina dan turut elakkan kari panas dan makanan-makanan lain-lain berempah sebelum waktu tidur.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Elakkan tidur dengan perut kosong</b> - ini akan menyukarkan lagi untuk tidur</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan makan banyak ketika hampir dengan waktu tidur. Ini akan menyebabkan masalah penghadaman, <i>reflux</i> atau pedih hulu hati. Kurangkan pengambilan alkohol, nikotin, gula dan kafeina.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Tukar waktu senaman kepada waktu pagi</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">- Elakkan bersenam tiga jam sebelum waktu tidur. Aktiviti bersenam memberi berkesan sehingga tiga jam setelah anda bersenam dan mengurangkan <i>secretion of melationin</i> (sumber penting untuk membantu anda tidur). Lakukan senaman pada siang hari atau lewat petang. Senaman sesuai dilakukan pada waktu pagi kerana ia membantu anda aktif dan kekal cergas sepanjang hari.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Cari jalan untuk mengurangkan tahap ketekanan anda</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tekanan, kebimbangan, kerisauan dan kemurungan boleh menyumbang kesukaran untuk tidur. mencari jalan untuk menguruskan tekanan termasuk mencari teknik positif untuk mengurus tekanan seperti yoga, terapi perlakuan kognitif, latihan hipotesis kendiri, tegas, bertakafur, bersenam, menggambarkan dll. Psikoterapi boleh membantu sekiranya anda mempunyai masalah kebimbangan, masalah trauma atau masalah kemurungan,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Rutin waktu tidur</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lakukan perkara sama sebelum tidur setiap malam contohnya, minum minuman suam, mandi, membaca bahan ringan dll. Mandi sebelum waktu tidur boleh membantu anda rehat dan berasa tenang.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Latih minda anda untuk mengekalkan waktu tidur setiap malam dan bangun setiap pagi (dengan sedikit perubahan pada waktu-waktu tertentu). Tidur dan bangun pada waktu sama termasuk pada hari minggu. Jika masalah ini masih berterusan, teruskan usaha ini sehingga anda berjaya membentuk tabiat baharu ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Pakai pakaian selesa</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pakaian longgar, selesa dan tidak ketat sesuai untuk tidur. Elakkan memakai pakaian terlalu panas atau yang membuatkan anda terlalu sejuk. Seluar pendek atau pajamas ringkas amat selesa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pastikan kedudukan anda di katil selesa. Pilih kedudukan yang sesuai untuk anda dan elakkan memaksa diri anda pada kedudukan tidak sesuai. Pastikan bantal anda tidak terlalu rendah atau terlalu tinggi kerana ini akan memberi kesan pada leher anda.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Gunakan bahan aromaterapi dan wangi-wangian.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Terdapat beberapa cadangan aromaterapi yang mungkin dapat membantu tidur. Contohnya, minyak limau, minyak chamomile, minyak lavender dan marjoram boleh digunakan. Boleh digunakan satu minyak pada satu-satu masa atau secara campuran untuk mandi; untuk urutan atau sebagai semburan udara atau semburan bantal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mandian untuk tidur boleh dihasilkan daripada enam titik minyak chamomile, dua titik minyak lovage dan dua titik minyak bunga limau dicampur ke dalam air mandian panas atau air suam</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We got your books signed!“ Nathaniel Shaun shouts over the phone. His words are like music to my ears. Days earlier, Shaun, together with his fifth form classmates Neo Yi Siang and Rakesh Ram, had given me the heads up about Tun Dr Dr Mahathir Mohamad‘s impending visit to his former alma mater, Sultan Abdul Hamid College.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mindful of a scheduled meeting between the great statesman and the students during that particular visit, I promptly handed my young friends two selected books written by Dr Mahathir himself in the hope of getting them autographed should the opportunity present itself.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shaun‘s jubilation culminates in his rather graphic narration about how the mission was accomplished. As school prefects, the trio were among the first to greet Dr Mahathir the moment he stepped off the stage after delivering his speech. That was when they seized the moment.</span></div>
</div>
<img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun05.jpg_1529193620.jpg" width="266" /><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: large; font-style: italic;">Dr Mahathir was the editor of the Darulaman magazine after the Second World War.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I‘m indeed glad the boys, who looked upon Dr Mahathir like a father figure, managed to maintain their composure. Now, thanks to their assistance, my otherwise ordinary books have been transformed into priceless keepsakes.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“The 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia has just announced the names of his cabinet ministers. Among them are Health Minister, Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad...“ The radio commentary jolts me from my reverie. Although three years have passed since the two books, The Malay Dilemma and Menghadapi Cabaran (Facing Challenges), were signed, that important day remains fresh in my mind.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So much has changed in this country since then as well. Our Prime Minister‘s recent phenomenal return to the pinnacle of Malaysian politics certainly justifies a set fresh eyes on materials in my collection that are related to him.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Iskandar was the first headmaster of the Government English School in Alor Star.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tracing the beginnings</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir‘s grandfather, Iskandar, was brought to Malaya from the South Indian state of Kerala by the British East India Company to teach English to the royal Kedah household. In 1881, he married Siti Hawa who hailed from Johor. Their wedding was held in Penang where the couple subsequently resided.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">History shows that the family‘s fate was deeply intertwined with that of the northern Malay state. Dr Mahathir‘s father, Mohamad Iskandar, was educated in Penang Free School where he passed the Normal Class, taught by the renowned educator W.E. Mann, in 1908.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A year later, upon the request of the Kedah Government, Mohamad left his family home in Penang to be the first Malay headmaster of the Government English School (subsequently renamed Sultan Abdul Hamid College in 1935) in Alor Star.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir‘s mother, Wan Tempawan Wan Hanafi, was a local Kedahan who came from a long line of Kedah royal household courtiers. Despite Dr Mahathir‘s birth certificate showing his date of birth as Dec 20, 1925, that arbitrary date is actually off by at least five months. Our newly-elected Prime Minister was actually born on July 10, 1925 in his family home at No. 18, Lorong Kilang Ais, Seberang Perak, Alor Star.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun08.jpg_1529193644.jpg" width="388" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dr Mahathir was a leader who led by example</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In his book Dr Mahathir Mohamad: Fasa Kedua (Dr Mahathir Mohamad: Second Phase) published in October 1988, Aziz Zariza Ahmad stated that the Malaysian leader was the youngest of nine siblings. Doted by his family members, the young Dr Mahathir was given the affectionate nickname, Che Det.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That endearing namesake has stuck with him ever since and was even used as a pseudonym when Dr Mahathir began contributing articles in the Sunday Times while pursuing his medical degree in Singapore.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Growing up under the watchful eye of a loving mother and a strict disciplinarian father, Dr Mahathir and his siblings were exposed to an environment where courtesy, religious teachings, discipline and good moral values were of utmost importance.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those attributes stood the children in good stead and made them successful people later on in life. Morad, the eldest, became an agricultural assistant in Baling while two other boys, Mahadi and Mashor, joined the Kedah government service and served in different parts of the state.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;">In a nod to Father’s Day today, Alan Teh Leam Seng turns back the pages of history to look at the life of the man many consider the Father of Modern Malaysia.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The young Dr Mahathir</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a young boy, Dr Mahathir was deeply influenced by his father‘s tenacity and zeal when it came to helping the villagers who were constantly neglected by the colonial administrators in Kedah. Realising that a large portion of children in the villages didn‘t attend school, Mohamad used his influence as headmaster to raise awareness among the rural youths. He impressed upon them the importance of having a good education in order to secure a bright future.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir was deeply influenced by his father’s thoughts and values. He fully subscribed to the idea that a person didn‘t need to be born into aristocracy or belong to prominent religious or political families in order to be successful in life. This spurred him to work hard and laid the sound foundation for him to achieve success at school.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting his primary education at the Seberang Perak Malay Boys School in 1930, Dr Mahathir quickly proved that he was a student with academic capabilities far beyond his age. His keen interest in writing and debate led Aziz to speculate in his book that Dr Mahathir could have been an equally good journalist or lawyer if fate hadn‘t steered him towards an illustrious career as a medical practitioner.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir loved reading and was a prolific reader. Among his favourite authors was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the fictional private detective, Sherlock Holmes. Like other boys living during that era, Dr Mahathir must have been fascinated by Holmes‘ many admirable proficiencies. Doyle‘s clever portrayal of the detective as one with the uncanny ability to harness the power of forensic science and logical reasoning gave rise to generations of ardent fans.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">By 1933, Dr Mahathir‘s superior command of the English language and competence in other subjects merited his admission into Sultan Abdul Hamid College. The move exposed Dr Mahathir to many new ideas and that went a long way in helping him to become an even better person.</span></div>
</div>
<img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun09.jpg_1529193641.jpg" width="564" /><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;">Dr Mahathir was born in Alor Star, Kedah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just like his peers, Dr Mahathir‘s progress was temporarily put on hold when schools were closed during the Japanese Occupation of Malaya. Unperturbed, the self-confident boy stared hardship in the face and was confident of overcoming any challenges life threw at him during those uncertain years.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Determined to help his family out financially, Dr Mahathir put his strong business acumen to good use and started an enterprise selling cendol, coffee and banana fritters. Later, he progressed to selling snacks from a stall in Pekan Rabu, a weekly market place popular with the people living in and around Alor Star.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Second World War ended with the surrender of the Japanese Imperial Army. The subsequent return of the British in September 1945 led Dr Mahathir back to school. Determined to play a part in the rebuilding process, he took on the role of editor for the school magazine, Darulaman.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir completed his Senior Cambridge examinations in December 1946. All his hard work and self-preservation paid off a year later when he passed with flying colours and earned a partial scholarship from the colonial government to study medicine in Singapore.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">His time at the King Edward VII College of Medicine (now part of National University of Singapore) gave Dr Mahathir the opportunity to experience many new things and learn many important lessons. Among his many triumphs as a budding medical student was overcoming his initial fear of cadavers. Determined to be a doctor, Dr Mahathir forced himself to the operating table and successfully completed the given task.</span></div>
</div>
<img height="634" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun07.jpg_1529193647.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;">Dr Siti Hasmah and Dr Mahathir were married on Aug 5, 1956.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My interest is piqued when the narration in the book reaches the part where Dr Mahathir met his future wife and lifelong companion, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali. Just several months ago, I had the opportunity of acquiring a large collection of old photographs taken in Alor Star. Among them was one that featured the two of them sitting in the front row, posing with several dignitaries who‘d just been made Justices of Peace by the Sultan of Kedah.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Returning to the book, I learn that Dr Siti Hasmah hailed from Selangor and she was one of only seven Malay students studying at the medical college at that time. The time spent studying together allowed their friendship, built based on mutual respect and loyalty, to blossom.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Their relationship, however, didn‘t immediately translate to marriage after their graduation. As a fledgling doctor, Dr Mahathir was determined to set his career on the right path before he was ready to start a family.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beginning from 1954, Dr Mahathir served at various government hospitals including those in Penang, Alor Star, Perlis and Langkawi Island. The couple eventually tied the knot two years later, on Aug 5, 1956.</span></div>
</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;">Dr Mahathir studied medicine in Singapore during the late 1940s.</span><br />

<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The good doctor</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A year later, the couple left the civil service and opened the first Malay private clinic in Alor Star, calling it Maha Clinic after the first half of Dr Mahathir‘s name. Those who sought Dr Mahathir‘s services sang praises about his caring and accommodative attitude. At times, he not only provided free consultations but also paid for the return fare for needy patients who were primarily from the rural areas and didn‘t have a fixed source of income.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir also made house calls for those who were too ill to visit his clinic. Apart from driving his Pontiac Catalina or riding his trusty bicycle, he also depended on close friends for lifts. Over time, Dr Mahathir‘s popularity grew in tandem with his flourishing business. Inevitably, that became the staging point for his career in politics.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since those early formative years, Dr Mahathir had always been the sort to utilise time to its fullest. He always starts his day early, beginning with morning prayers and exercise before adjourning for breakfast at the verandah. He‘d then proceed to do some light reading until 7.30am before heading off to the office.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">His evenings at home are also spent working. Dr Mahathir holds dear to the mantra that reading helps him to keep abreast with the latest developments in the nation and the world as a whole.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Over the years, Dr Mahathir‘s great oratory prowess has given birth to a large number of memorable quotes. I found a collection of these sayings in the book Salute to a man: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad by Bernice Narayanan.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Published in 2004, it also contains a sizeable collection of photographs taken from the time Dr Mahathir entered politics in 1964 until he became Malaysia‘s 4th Prime Minister. These photographs provide an invaluable insight into his life, both private as well as public.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; font-style: italic;">Dr Mahathir is back to re-establish Malaysia‘s prominence on the world stage.</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite his busy work schedule, Dr Mahathir always finds time for his three children, Marina, Mokhzani and Mukhriz. Thanks to his guidance and sound upbringing, they‘re successful people in their own right today.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The events leading up to the historic 14th General Election has renewed the people‘s belief in Dr Mahathir and his sound leadership capabilities. So strong is the nation‘s adoration for Dr Mahathir that a recent petition lobbying for his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize received more than 40,000 signatures on the day it was launched. This prompted his daughter, Marina, to state that her father wasn‘t a person who works hard for recognition or awards.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The petition likened Dr Mahathir to the ‘Nelson Mandela‘ of Malaysia, lauding him as a true ‘Giant of a Man‘ and a leader to emulate for openly admitting his shortcomings and apologising for his past mistakes.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many Malaysians today are truly grateful to Dr Mahathir for his determination to save the nation. He is indeed a father in every sense of the word to all of us who love this nation that we call home.</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sempena Hari Bapa, penulis menyingkap kembali sejarah kehidupan individu yang dianggap sebagai Bapa Malaysia Moden oleh ramai pihak.</span></div>
<img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun02.jpg_1529193630.jpg" width="397" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Mahathir menulis buku ini bagi menggambarkan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh negara</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Kami berjaya mendapatkan tandatangan pada buku awak!". Nathaniel Shaun menjerit dalam telefon. Kata-katanya umpama irama pada telinga saya. Beberapa hari sebelum itu, Shaun bersama-sama dengan rakan sekelas tingkatan lima iaitu, Neo Yi Siang dan Rakesh Ram memberitahu saya mengenai lawatan akan datang Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ke bekas alma mater, Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Menyedari akan mesyuarat antara pemimpin hebat ini dengan para pelajar dalam lawatan ini, saya memberikan dua buah buku yang ditulis sendiri oleh Dr. Mahathir kepada dua rakan muda dengan harapan akan ditandatangani oleh beliau jika berpeluang.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kegembiraan Shaun menggambarkan secara grafik bagaimana misinya tercapai. Mereka bertiga ialah pengawas sekolah menyapa Dr. Mahathir apabila beliau turun dari pentas setelah memberikan ucapan. Peluang ini digunakan sebaik mungkin untuk mendapatkan tandatangan. Saya benar-benar gembira dengan kedua-dua rakan yang melihat Dr. Mahathir sebagai ayah dapat mengawal perasaan mereka. Kini, menerusi bantuan mereka buku biasa ini bertukar menjadi bahan kenangan berharga.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Perdana Menteri Ke-7 baru saja mengumumkan nama-nama menteri kabinet. Antaranya ialah Menteri Kesihatan, Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad...". Ulasan di radio mengejutkan saya daripada khayalan. Walaupun tiga tahun telah berlalu sejak kedua-dua buku iaitu <i>The Malay Dilema</i> dan Menghadapi Cabaran ditandatangani namun hari bersejarah itu masih kekal segar dalam fikiran saya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sejak hari itu, negara ini telah menyaksikan banyak perubahan. Kemunculan semula Perdana Menteri kita ke kemuncak arena politik Malaysia umpama nafas baharu terhadap koleksi saya mengenai beliau.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>MENYINGKAP KEMBALI</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Syarikat India British Timur membawa datuk Dr. Mahathir dari Kerala, negari Selatan India ke Malaya untuk mengajar hahasa Inggeris kepada keluarga diraja Kedah. Pada tahun 1881, beliau berkahwin dengan Siti Hawa dari Johor. Perkahwinan mereka diadakan di Pulau Pinang yang kemudian menjadi tempat tinggal mereka.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sejarah menunjukkan salasilah keluarga ini berkait rapat dengan </span><span style="font-size: large;">utara </span><span style="font-size: large;">negeri ini. Pada tahun 1908, ayah Dr. Mahathir, Mohamad Iskandar memperoleh pendidikan di <i>Penang Free School</i> serta berjaya lulus <i>Normal Class</i> yang diajar oleh pendidik terkenal <i>W.E. Mann.</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div>
<a href="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun04.jpg_1529193624.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun04.jpg_1529193624.jpg" width="192" /></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Setahun kemudian, di atas permintaan Kerajaan Kedah, Mohamad meninggalkan rumah keluarganya di Pulau Pinang untuk menjadi guru besar Melayu pertama di <i>Government English School</i> (ditukar nama kepada Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid pada tahun 1935) di Alor Setar.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ibu Dr Mahathir, Wan Tempawan Wan Hanafi berasal daripada susr galur golongan diraja Kedah. Walaupun sijil kelahiran Dr Mahathir menunjukkan tarikh lahir adalah 25 Disember 1925 tetapi tarikh lahir sebenar beliau adalah lima bulan sebelumnya. Perdana Menteri yang baharu dilantik ini lahir pada 10 Julai 1925 di rumah keluarganya beliau beralamat No. 18 Lorong Kilang Ais, Seberang Perak, Alor Setar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dalam buku beliau, Dr Mahathir : Fasa Kedua <i>(Dr Mahathir Mohammad : Second Phase)</i> yang diterbitkan pada bulan Oktober 1988, Aziz Zariza Ahmad berkata pemimpin Malaysia ini ialah anak bongsu daripada sembilan adik beradik dan diberi nama timangan, Che Det.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nama ini kekal dengan beliau malah digunakan sebagai nama samaran apabila beliau menyumbang rencana-rencana untuk suratkhabar Sunday Times ketika meneruskan pengajian Sarjana Muda perubatan di Singapura.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Membesar di bawah perhatian ibu yang penyayang dan ayah yang displin, Dr Mahathir dan adik-beradiknya didedahkan kepada persekitaran yang memberi kepentingan kepada budi bahasa, agama, displin dan nilai-nilai moral.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kesemua nilai-nilai ini menjadikan mereka berjaya dalam kehidupan masing-masing di kemudian hari. Morad, anak sulung, menjadi pembantu pertanian di Baling manakala Mahadi dan Mashor menyertai perkhidmatan kerajaan Kedah dan bertugas di beberapa bahagian di Kedah.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>SEWAKTU KECIL</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun09.jpg_1529193641.jpg" width="564" /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sewaktu Dr. Mahathir kecil, beliau amat dipengaruhi oleh ketabahan dan semangat ayahnya apabila membantu orang-orang kampung yang sering disisihkan oleh pentadbir kolonial di Kedah. Menyedari sebilangan besar kanak-kanak kampung tidak ke sekolah, Mohamad menggunakan pengaruh beliau sebagai guru busar dan memberi kesedaran kepada golongan muda kampung. Beliau menyedarkan mereka akan kepentingan mempunyai pendidikan untuk masa depan cerah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Mahathir amat dipengaruhi dengan buah fikiran dan nilai-nilai ayahnya. Beliau berpegang teguh akan idea bahawa seseorang tidak perlu lahir dalam golongan aristokrasi atau golongan agama yang terkenal atau keluarga politik untuk berjaya dalam hidup. Ini mendorong beliau untuk bekerja keras dan menjadi batu asas bagi beliau berjaya di sekolah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beliau memulakan pendidikan sekolah rendah pada tahun 1930 di <i>Seberang Perak Malay Boys School</i> dan membuktika beliau ialah pelajar yang mempunyai kelebihan akademik melangkaui usianya. Minat beliau terhadap penulisan dan debat mendorong Aziz menspekulasi dalam buku beliau bahawa Dr Mahathir boleh menjadi wartawan bagus atau peguam baik jika takdir tidak membawa beliau ke karier sebagai pengamal perubatan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Dr Mahathi</span>r suka membaca dan sentiasa membaca. Antara penulis kegemaran beliau ialah <i>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle</i>, pereka detektif persendirian, <i>Sherlock Holmes</i>. Seperti kanak-kanak lain pada era tersebut, Dr Mahathir pasti terpegun dengan beberapa kemahiran <i>Holmes</i>. Kepintaran Doyle menggambarkan detektif tersebut dengan kelebihan luar biasa dalam penggunaan forenstik sains dan logikal membolehkan <i>Doyle</i> mendapat ramai peminat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Menjelang 1933, Dr. Mahathir dapat menguasai bahasa Inggeris dan mata pelajaran lain. Ini melayakkan beliau memasuki Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid dan memberikan banyak idea baharu kepada beliau dan membantu beliau menjadi lebih baik.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sama seperti rakan sebaya beliau, perkembangan Dr. Mahathir terhenti buat sementara apabila sekolah-sekolah ditutup semasa Pendudukan Jepun. Tidak peduli akan halangan ini, Dr. Mahathir melihat kesusahan dan berasa yakin dapat mengatasi sebarang cabaran kehidupan ketika keadaan tidak menentu.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Mahathir ingin membantu keluarganya dari segi kewangan lalu menggunakan kepintaran dalam perniagaan dan memulakan perniagaan cendol, kopi dan pisang goreng. Kemudian, beliau menjual keropok di Pekan Rabu, pasar minggu popular dalam kalangan penduduk setempat dan penduduk sekitar Alor Setar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perang Dunia Kedua berakhir dengan Tentera Imperial Jepun menyerah diri. Sekembalinya British pada September 1945 membolehkan Dr Mahathir kembali semula ke sekolah. Beliau bertekad ingin mengambil bahagian dalam proses pemulihan dan bertugas sebagai editor untuk majalah sekolah, Darulaman.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun05.jpg_1529193620.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="266" /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr. Mahathr menamatkan peperiksaan <i>Senior Cambridge</i> pada Disember 1946. Setahun kemudian, segala kerja keras membuahkan hasil apabila beliau lulus dengan cemerlang dan mendapat biasiswa separuh daripada kerajaan kolonial untuk meneruskan pengajian dalam bidang perubatan di Singapura.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ketika meneruskan pelajaran di <i>King Edward III College of Mecidine</i> (kini sebahagian daripada <i>National University of Singapore</i>), Dr. Mahathir mendapat peluang untuk mempelajari banyak perkara baharu dan ilmu berguna. Antara kejayaan beliau sebagai pelajar perubatan adalah mengatasi ketakutan awal terhadap mayat. Dr. Mahathir memaksa dirinya dan berjaya melaksanakan tugasan yang diberikan dengan jaya.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PERSAHABATAN DAN PERCINTAAN</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="634" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun07.jpg_1529193647.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Minat saya bertambah apabila pengisahan buku tiba ke bahagian Dr. Mahathir bertemu dengan bakal isteri dan teman sejati beliau, Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali. Beberapa bulan lalu, saya berpeluang membeli koleksi besar gambar-gambar yang diambil di Alor Star. Antaranya, gambar kedua-dua mereka duduk di barisan hadapan dengan beberapa tokoh yang dilantik sebagai <i>Justices of Peace</i> oleh Sultan Kedah.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kembali kepada buku, saya dapat tahu Dr Siti Hasmah berasal dari Selangor dan salah seorang daripada tujuh pelajar Melayu yang menuntut di kolej perubatan pada masa itu. Masa dihabiskan bersama ketika belajar membuatkan persahabatan yang dibina di atas rasa hormat dan kesetiaan mula berkembang.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bagaimanapun, perhubungan mereka tidak menuju ke jinjang pelamin kerana Dr. Mahathir, sebagai doktor baru, bertekad membina karier sebelum mempunyai keluarga.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bermula pada tahun 1954, Dr. Mahathir telah berkhidmat di pelbagai hospital kerajaan termasuk di Pulau Pinang, di Alor Setar, di Perlis dan di Pulau Langkawi. Pasangan ini mendirikan rumah tangga pada 5 Ogos 1956, dua tahun kemudian.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>DOKTOR YANG BAGUS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Setahun kemudian, pasangan ini meninggalkan sektor awam dan memulakan klinik persendirian Melayu pertama yang dinamakan Klinik Maha, mengambil bahagian pertama nama Dr. Mahathir. Bagi mereka yang pernah mendapatkan khidmat beliau memuji akan sikap ambil berat dan mudah bekerjasama beliau. Ada kalanya, beliau tidak hanya memberikan perundingan percuma malah memberikan tambang balik kepada pesakit yang datang dari kampung dan tidak mempunyai pendapatan tetap. Dr Mahathir juga melakukan lawatan ke rumah bagi merawat pesakit yang terlalu uzur. Selain daripada memandu <i>Pontiac Catalian</i> atau mengayuh basikalnya, beliau bergantung kepada rakan-rakan karibnya untuk menumpang kereta mereka. Populariti beliau meningkat dengan perkembangan perniagaan beliau dan ini menjadi titik permulaan untuk karier politik beliau.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="630" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alantun03.jpg_1529193627.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dari dulu lagi, beliau sentiasa menguruskan masa beliau secara berhemah. Beliau sentiasa memulakan hari beliau dengan dengan solat pagi dan bersenam sebelum bersarapan di veranda. Kemudian beliau akan membaca bahan-bahan ringan sehingga pukul 7.30am sebelum bertolak ke pejabat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Waktu petang di rumah dihabiskan dengan bekerja. Beliau memegang kuat mantra bahawa membaca membantu beliau mengikuti perkembangan semasa negara dan dunia secara am.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mengikut peredaran masa, kehebatan pertuturan Dr Mahathir menghasilkan banyak kata-kata berguna. Saya menemui koleksi kata-kata dalam buku bertajuk <i>Salute to a Man : Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. </i>Diterbitkan pada tahun 2004, ia mengandungi koleksi gambar-gambar yang diambil bermula dari beliau menyertai politik pada tahun 1964 sehingga menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia Ke-4. Gambar-gambar ini memberikan gambaran berharga mengenai kehidupan beliau termasuk kehidupan peribadi beliau.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Walaupun Dr Mahathir sentiasa sibuk, beliau sentiasa mempunyai masa untuk ketiga-tiga anak beliau iaitu Marina, Mokhzani dan Mukhriz. Disebabkan tunjuk ajar dan cara pembesaran yang sempurna, mereka berjaya dalam bidang masing-masing.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku sebelum Pilihanraya Umum Ke-14, telah memperbaharui . kepercayaan rakyat terhadap Dr. Mahathir dan kepimpinan beliau. Kasih sayang negara terhadap beliau amat menyerlah sehingga mendorong rakyat membuat petisyen bagi melobi mencalonkan beliau untuk Hadiah Keamanan Nobel. Petisyen ini mendapat 40,000 tandatangan pada hari ia dilancarkan. Ini membuatkan anak perempuan beliau, Marina Mahathir menyatakan ayah beliau bukannya seseorang yang bekerja keras untuk penguktirafan atau anugerah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Petisyen ini menyamakan beliau dengan Nelson Mandela Malaysia memuji beliau sebagai <i>'Giant of a Man'</i> yang sebenar dan pemimpin yang secara terbuka mengakui kekurangan beliau dan memohon maaf akan kesalahan lama beliau.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This being human is a guest house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Every morning a new arrival.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A joy, a depression, a meanness,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">some momentary awareness comes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As an unexpected visitor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Welcome and entertain them all</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Even if they're a crowd of sorrow</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">who violently sweep your house</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">empty of its furniture,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">still treat each guest honorably,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He may be clearing you out</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">for some new delight</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The dark thought, the shame, the malice,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">meet them at the door laughing,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and invite them in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Be grateful for whoever comes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">because each has been sent</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">as a guide from beyond.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. I was told that no one wished to see second national car. Enough with the failed Proton.</span><br />
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Lucida Grande", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">2. We are not qualified and unable to own an automotive industry. Malaysians are willing to buy imported cars including from China. Their choice is Japanese car and those with money would buy Germany cars.</span></div>
<div class="code-block code-block-1" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; margin: 8px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">3. I still remember Japanese car soon after war. Consumers said if we scribble with finger nails, we can see Milo tin. But, from this Milo tin came numerous Toyota, Nissan and Suzuki models that we are using now.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span id="more-2872" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></span></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">4. So is pony Hyundai cars. Time pass with Japanese and Korean cars becomes better. Austin, Morris and other car brands from Europe disappeared from market.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">5. Surely, this will not happen in Malaysia. Our car will forever be made from tin.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">6. We are not suggesting to government to produce second national car. Our private companies are capable of designing, making clay models, test models dan huge productions motor vehicle. But, since idea of making second national is rejected, then we are stopping all suggestions to produce motor vehicle by private. Of course, government would not have a government owned automotive.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">7. We will buy imported cars. If we went to car producing countries like Japan, Korea, we will not see foreign cars in their countries. In Japan only Japanese cars, in Korea, only Korean car. Why?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">8. Because they will not let importing foreign car. As a result, the quality of their cars improved. and they export millions of their car. Foreign currencies inflow are increasing.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">9. Their workers are employed and living luxury. The economy is flourishing and becomes a developed country with advanced engineering industry and are able to help other engineering industries.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">10. But, not in Malaysia. Regardless of car types, its origin, quality or Milo tin can enter Malaysia. Produced by giant companies, they can monopoly Malaysia car market until Proton is closed down. Eventually, Proton is sold to foreigner. No more national car. No more automotive industry. All employees, engineer, manager are unemployed. Everything went down.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">11. Malaysia becomes consumer, agriculture and fishing country.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">12. It's alright. We get what we wish for.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "segoe ui", "lucida grande", "helvetica neue", sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">13. Just forget Vision 2020.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia1.JPG_1515304874.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="300" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">New Asia Hotel is located at the junction of Rope Walk and Lebuh Kimberley.</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A visit to the Padang Brown flea market turns out to be an opportunity for the writer to learn more about the Japanese Occupation in Penang</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Documents! That vendor over there just pulled out a large bag of old documents!" my wife whispers excitedly into my ear just as I'm about to start sifting through a stack of old picture postcards. She waves her finger towards the opposing side of the narrow pathway filled with people. I looked intently but fail so see the seller. The look on her face, however, tells me that something is afoot. Placing the stack of cards in her hands, Iquickly head off in search of the elusive seller.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's only 4pm but the afternoon flea market at Padang Brown is already in full swing. Dozens of vendors start gathering at this spot in Penang's bustling Dato Keramat area as soon as they're done with lunch.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's only 4pm but the afternoon flea market at Padang Brown is already in full swing. Dozens of vendors start gathering at this spot in Penang's bustling Dato Kramat area as soon as they're done with lunch.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, I catch sight of a large group crowding around a man standing beside a motorcycle. The seller keeps on dipping into a large gunny sack and placing rolls of paper into the outstretched hands of the buyers. I quicken my steps and join in the action, putting all I can get my hands on into a plastic bag. There's no time to check anything. My aim is to secure as many things as possible and only check them when time permits.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia8.jpg_1515304877.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="297" /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">An interesting tax receipt paying the 4 cents rate.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Japanese Occupation!" These words keep ringing out as buyers delightedly peek at their new found possessions. Tempers occasionally flare when some people start vying for the same items. Fortunately, they cool down when more appear from the seemingly bottomless bag.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, the seller announces that the stack f envelopes in his right hand represents the last of the lot. I Join the crowd in lunging forward with gusto. To my delight, my effort is richly rewarded when the envelopes are shoved into my waiting palm.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The crowd slowly thins, leaving the buyers to start paying the seller for their purchases. Soon my turn arrives and the seller merely peeks into my bulging plastic bag and holds it in his hands to make a rough estimation of its weight before quoting his price.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="320" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia2.jpg_1515304871.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="400" /></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>CHECKING THE 'LOOT'</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Back in the car, my wife and I excitedly start going through the items. A lot of stuff turns out to be rolled up rental receipts for New Asia Hotel located at the junction of Rope Walk (now Jalan Pintal Tali) and Lebuh Kimberley.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dates on the receipts range from 1940 to 1945 and each receipt is affixed with a duly cancelled 4c stamps. That's the correct tax rate for receipts back then. Apart from some Straits Settlement stamps, the bits of fragile paper mostly bear adhesives from the Japanese Occupation period.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Disappointment starts to creep as I unearth more common receipts. Then I decide to check the contents of the stack of envelopes. An avalanche of goodies start to appear. These include Japanese Occupation era lotteries tickets, photographs, letters, newspaper cuttings, bank fixed deposit statements and a small number of early luggage labels produced by the hotel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A myriad of questions start surfacing as soon as I reach the end of the pile. "Does this hotel still exist today? Could there be more of these priceless items in the storeroom waiting to be discovered?" I ask myself. That feeling of wanting to make a quick drive to the address to find out more begins to nag. In my heart I harbour the hope of meeting the owner, and with some luck, learn his story.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="282" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia3.JPG_1515304868.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="400" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>TRACKING THE STORY</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The George Town traffic is surprisingly light for a late Thursday afternoon. I can barely contain my excitement and before long, I spot the New Asia Hotel signboard. My first question has already been answered. "This is a good sign. Hopefully we'll get to meet the owner," I tell my wife as we start walking up the flight of stairs leading to the reception area on the first floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My hopes are dashed a few minutes later as I learn from the manager on duty that his company had taken over management of the hotel about seven years ago when the previous owner decided to call it a day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"We don't have any of the old records. Everything was cleared out by the previous owner before we took over. We did some minor renovations in 2010 but as far as I can remember we didn't find anything related to the hotel's past," she explains when I show her the things I'd bought. My request to contact the former owner draws a blank as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My only consolation is her generous permission to look around the place. Looking out at the bustling junction down below through an open window, I can just imagine the sight that must have greeted Penangites when the triumphant Japanese soldiers, astride their tanks, rumbled for the first time into town. The minds of the people at the time must have been fraught with concern, fearful of their bleak future under the aggressors from the Land of the Rising Sun</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333;">Reign of the Japanese</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>REIGN OF THE JAPANESE</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Japanese Military Administration in Penang began on Dec, 17, 1941. Right from the start, the Chinese community was singled out to bear the burnt of their oppression. This was their way of getting back at the locals for supporting the war effort back in China ever since the Japanese Army started their incursions there in 1937.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most potent measures used by the Japanese to intimate the Chinese was summary execution by beheading. In just a few days after the occupation, severed heads were placed at key intersections all over George Town. This action, apart from eliminating the people who are most likely to cause trouble, undoubtedly had a salutary effect on the rest of the population.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Referring to the newspaper cuttings of the Penang Shimbun, a local Japanese controlled daily, I learn that the Japanese secret police or Kempeitai began detaining Chinese community leaders who'd been actively supporting the Chungking government and the Chine Relief Fund. Apart from that, mass investigation of the entire Chinese population were conducted with the sole purpose of 'purification by elimination'.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="235" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia7.jpg_1515304856.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="400" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: large;">The Japanese officially surrendered on Sept 5, 1945 in Penang</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">On April 5, 1942, the people were told to gather at various centres throughout George Town. Screening were conducted with the help of masked informers who identified people according to four categories: those who'd worked against Japan, communists, educated individuals and criminals.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As many as 5,000 suspects, of whom a large majority consisted of young and middle aged men, were taken to prison while awaiting further interrogation. A fraction was subsequently released while the rest either died of cholera in the overcrowded cells or were spirited away by the truckloads for execution at deserted beaches on the island.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apart from physical hardship and mental agony, the local population also suffered when the Japanese authorities froze all their pre-war bank accounts, bringing the local economy to a near standstill. The people were ordered to open new accounts in Japanese-controlled financial institutions like the Yokohama Specie Bank, Bank of Taiwan and the Japanese Konan Bank. The banks only received lukewarm response as the Chinese were unwilling to transact business with the Japanese bank.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Left with no choice, the Japanese authorities ordered the Chinese and Indian banks to resume operations. The Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation, United Chinese Bank, Ban Hin Lee Bank and Lee Wah Bank re-opened in April 1942. The list increased when Southern Bank and Kwong Yik Bank threw their doors open several months later.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All the Japanese and local banks resorted to lotteries and bonuses in the race to attract depositors. The lotteries I found were primarily issued by a branch of the Japanese Konan Bank. A total of 500,000 tickets were produced for each draw. The lottery tickets, at $1 each, gave purchasers the hope of winning the first prize money, which was $50,000. The instructions at the back required winning ticket holders to redeem their prizes at the Yokohama Specie Bank or its authorised branches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="300" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia6.JPG_1515304859.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="400" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The fixed deposit receipts that I found were of exceptionally large sums of money. Upon close inspection, I notice that the majority of the notes were due in 1946, a year after the Japanese Occupation ended. The owner must have lost a fortune as the British demonetised all war time currency when they returned to Penang!</span></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The tides of war began to slowly turn against the Japanese as early as November 1944 when Allied bombers began appearing over Penang and initiated bombing runs on important installations.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This prompted the jittery shopkeepers in Penang to close their shops in anticipation of further attacks. The Penang Shimbun reported on Nov 15, 1944 that the head of the Kempeitai issued warnings to shopkeepers telling them that premises which fail to open would be sealed for an indefinite period of time.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">An attack on Jan 11, 1945 destroyed government buildings, the post office and important structures near the waterfront. A day after a massive raid on Feb 1, the entire George Town fell silent. Many of its residents opted to either remain indoors or flee for the suburbs where they were less likely to be hit.</span></div>

<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">End of the war</span></b><br />
<b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Japan finally surrendered on Aug 15, 1945. British naval forces left their base in Sri Lanka’s Trincomalee port for Penang that very same day while the swifter minesweepers left Colombo three days later to clear the Melaka Straits. The naval flotilla planned to arrive in Penang on Aug 21. However, just before reaching Malayan waters, the Commander on board received instructions to delay his arrival to allow time for the surrendering Japanese commanders to effectively disseminate their cease-fire orders.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The British finally arrived in Penang on Sept 3 but they were forced to delay their landing for a further 24 hours when the local Japanese commander requested for more time to evacuate his forces to the mainland. A formal re-occupation ceremony took place on Swettenham Pier on Sept 5, 1945.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My last document dates to just a few days before this momentous ceremony took place. The previous owner of the hotel must have been relieved to learn that the war had finally ended. The return of the Allied forces must have given him the security to dispense with further record keeping.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">As for me, I’m glad to possess a tiny slice of our nation’s history that will remind me of a time when peace was a just a distant memory.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The atrocities suffered during the Japanese Occupation serve as a grim reminder to all of us to treasure the peaceful way of life that we enjoy now. Let us all pray that our wonderful nation will never have to witness such terror again.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>IMBAS KEMBALI SEJARAH PULAU PINANG YANG KACAU BILAU</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: large;">Lawatan ke Pasar Lambak di Padang Brown memberi kesempatan kepada penulis mengkaji lebih banyak mengenai era Jepun di Pulau Pinang.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dokumen! Kat sana ada penjual baru keluarkan beg besar penuh dengan dokumen!. Isteri saya membisik ke telinga saya dengan gembira ketika saya hendak mula melihat susunan gambar lama poskad. Dia menunjuk ke arah lorong kecil bertentangan yang telah dipenuhi orang. Saya cuba melihat penjual yang dimaksudkannya tetapi gagal melihatnya. Akan tetapi, raut wajah isteri saya memberitahu ada sesuatu sedang berlaku. Saya meletakkan susunan poskad dalam tangannya dan bergegas mencari penjual yang sukar dilihat itu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jam menunjukkan pukul 4 petang namun pasar lambak petang di Padang Brown sudah dipenuhi orang ramai. Berdozen-dozen penjual mula berkumpul di tapak kawasan sibuk Dato Keramat di Pulau Pinang setelah menjamu selera makan tengah hari.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tiba-tiba saya ternampak sekumpulan orang ramai mengerumuni seorang lelaki yang sedang berdiri sebelah sebuah motosikal. Penjual itu sedang mengeluarkan barangan daripada guni besar dan meletakkan gulungan kertas pada tangan pembeli. Saya mempercepatkan langkah saya dan menyertai mereka lalu memasukkan gulungan kertas ke dalam beg plastik. Tiada masa untuk melihat. Sasaran adalah mendapatkan sebanyak mungkin dan melihat barangan ini kemudian.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Zaman Jepun!" Perkataan ini mula kedengaran apabila pembeli melihat barangan baru mereka. Sekali-sekala perasaan marah boleh kelihatan apabila beberapa pembeli mahukan barangan sama. Nasib baik, keadaan mula reda apabila lebih banyak barangan dikeluarkan daripada guni.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akhirnya, penjual tersebut mengumumkan susunan sampul surat di tangannya kanannya ialah barangan terakhir. Saya menyertai kumpulan pembeli yang mula merapati penjual itu. Saya merasa gembira apabila sampul surat itu diletakkan pada tangan saya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kumpulan pembeli mula berkurangan meninggalkan tempat jualan dan membayar untuk barangan mereka. Apabila tiba giliran saya, penjual tersebut melihat secara imbas beg plastik yang penuh dan mengangkat bagi menganggar secara kasar berat kandungan sebelum memberikan harganya.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>MELIHAT BARANGAN</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Setelah kembali ke kereta, saya dan isteri saya mula melihat barangan yang dibeli dengan perasaan teruja. Kebanyakkan barangan adalah gulungan resit sewa <i>Hotel New Asia</i> yang terletak di simpang <i>Rope Walk</i> (Jalan Pintal Tali) dan Lebuh Kemberley.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tarikh pada resit-resit tersebut bermula dari 1940 hingga 1945 dan setiap resit ditampal dengan setem 4c yang dibatalkan. Ia adalah kadar cukai untuk resit pada masa itu. Selain daripada beberapa keping setem dari era Penempatan Selat, kertas lusuh ini mempunyai kesan dari zaman Jepun.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="515" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia5.jpg_1515304862.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="640" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sekeping resit cukai dengan kadar cukai sebanyak 4 sen</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perasaan kecewa mula menyelubungi saya apabila melihat semakin banyak resit sama. Kemudian, saya mengambil keputusan untuk melihat kandungan sampul surat pula. Bertimbun-timbun barangan berharga mula muncul. Ini termasuk tiket loteri era Jepun, foto-foto, surat-surat, kepingan surat khabar, penyata deposit tetap bank dan beberapa keping label beg pakaian terawal yang dikeluarkan oleh hotel tersebut.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apabila saya telah melihat kandungan terakhir susunan sampul surat, pelbagai soalan mula muncul dalam fikiran saya. "Adakah hotel ini masih berfungsi? Adakah lagi barangan berharga sedang menunggu untuk diteroka di bilik setor?' Saya bertanya soalan ini pada diri saya. Perasaan ingin singgah ke lokasi ini bagi merungkai lebih banyak persoalan mula dirasai. Dalam hati saya, saya berharap agar dapat menemui pemilik hotel dan sekiranya bernasib baik dapat mengetahui kisahnya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>MENJEJAKI KISAH</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Trafik di George Town pada petang Khamis agak ringan. Saya tidak dapat menyembunyikan kegembiraan saya apabila saya melihat papan tanda <i>New Asia Hotel</i>. Soalan pertama saya terjawab. "Ini petanda baik. Harap-harap kita dapat berjumpa dengan pemiliknya," Saya memberitahu isteri saya sambil menaiki tangga menuju ke bahagian sambut tetamu di tingkat pertama.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia1.JPG_1515304874.jpg" style="font-size: medium;" width="300" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>New Asia Hotel</i> terletak di simpang Jalan Pintal dan Lehuh Kemberley</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Harapan saya berkecai beberapa minit kemudian apabila dikhabarkan oleh pengurus hotel bertugas bahawa syarikat baharu ini mengambil pengurusan hotel ini sejak tujuh tahun dahulu apabila pemiliknya mahu menjual hotel ini.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img height="340" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia4.JPG_1515304865.jpg" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" width="400" /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">"Kami tidak menyimpan sebarang rekod lama. Semuanya telah dibersihkan oleh pemilik lama sebelum kami mengambil alih. Kami ada melakukan sedikit kerja-kerja pengubah suaian pada 2010 tetapi seingat saya, kami tidak menemui apa-apa barangan berkaitan sejarah silam hotel ini" beliau menjelaskan apabila saya menunjukkan kepadanya barangan yang saya beli. Pemintaan saya untuk menghubungi pemilik asal turut menemui jalan buntu.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kebenaran beliau untuk saya melihat bahagian dalam hotel menyenangkan hati saya. Melihatkan suasana sibuk di simpang menerusi tingkap terbuka, saya dapat membayangkan bayangan yang dilihat oleh rakyat Pulau Pinang apabila kemenangan tentera Jepun bercelapak kereta kebal mereka memasuki bandar ini buat pertama kali. Fikiran mereka sudah pasti penuh dengan ketegangan bercampur baur dengan kerisauan, takut akan masa depan gelap di bawah penceroboh dari Negara Matahari Terbit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PEMERINTAHAN JEPUN</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pentadbiran Ketenteraan Jepun bermula di Pulau Pinang pada 17 Dis 1941. Sejak awal lagi, komuniti Cina diasingkan bagi menerima padah yang paling hebat iaitu penindasan ke atas mereka. Ini cara Jepun membalas dendam kepada mereka kerana menyokong perang di China sejak Tentera Jepun memulakan serangan mendadak di China pada 1937.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Salah satu tindakan keras yang digunakan oleh tentera Jepun untuk menakutkan orang Cina adalah menjatuhkan hukuman pancung. Hanya beberapa hari setelah menawan Pulau Pinang, kepala-kepala yang dipancung diletak di seluruh persimpangan <i>George Town</i>. Selain daripada menghapuskan mereka yang mungkin menimbulkan masalah, tindakan ini turut menjadi pengajaran kepada seluruh warga Pulau Pinang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Merujuk kepada keratan akhbar, <i>Penang Shimbun</i>, surat khabar tempatan yang dikawal oleh Jepun, saya mendapati polis rahsia Jepun atau Kempetai mula menangkap ketua komuniti-ketua komuniti Cina yang aktif menyokong kerajaan Chungking dan Tabung Kemanusiaan China. Selain itu, penyiasatan besar-besaran dilakukan ke atas populasi Cina dengan satu tujuan iaitu 'penyucian menerusi pembersihan'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pada 5 April 1942, penduduk Pulau Pinang disuruh berkumpul di pelbagai pusat perkumpulan di <i>George Town</i>. Saringan dilakukan dengan bantuan pemberi maklumat bertopeng bagi mengenal pasti penduduk mengikut empat kategori; mereka yang menentang Jepun, komunis, individu berpelajaran dan penjenayah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seramai 5,000 suspek, majoriti pemuda dan lelaki pertengahan umur dibawa ke penjara untuk disoal siasat. Hanya sebilangan kecil dibebaskan sementara ada yang mati disebabkan oleh kolera kerana ditempatkan dalam sel penjara sesak atau dibawa dalam trak untuk dibunuh di pantai terpencil pulau.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img height="282" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia3.JPG_1515304868.jpg" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" width="400" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Selain daripada beban fizikal dan penderitaan mental, penduduk tempatan merana apabila pentadbiran Jepun membekukan kesemua akaun bank sebelum perang. Ini menyebabkan ekonomi tempatan hampir terhenti. Penduduk diarahkan membuka akaun baharu di institusi kewangan yang dikawal oleh Jepun seperti <i>Yokohama Specie Bank, Bank of Taiwan</i> dan <i>Japanese Konan Bank</i>. Bank-bank ini tidak begitu mendapat sambutan kerana orang Cina enggan melakukan transaksi dengan bank-bank Jepun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Disebabkan tiada pilihan, pentadbiran Jepun mengarahkan bank-bank Cina dan bank-bank India memulakan semula operasi. mereka. <i>The Oversea Chinese Banking Corporation, United Chinese Bank, Ban Hin Lee Bank</i> dan <i>Lee Wah Bank</i> dibuka semula pada bulan April 1942. Beberapa bulan kemudian, <i>Southern Bank</i> dan <i>Kwong Yik Bank</i> turut dibuka semula.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kesemua bank-bank Jepun dan bank-bank tempatan mengadakan cabutan loteri dan memberikan bonus bagi menarik pelanggan. Tiket loteri yang saya temukan dikeluarkan oleh cawangan <i>Japanese Konan Bank</i>. Sebanyak 500,000 keping tiket dihasilkan bagi setiap cabutan. Tiket loteri berharga $1 sekeping memberikan harapan kepada pembeli untuk memenangi hadiah pertama bernilai $50,000. Arahan tertera di bahagian belakang loteri meminta pemenang loteri menebus hadiah mereka di <i>Yokohama Specie Bank</i> atau di cawangan-cawangan bank yang diberi kuasa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Resit deposit tetap yang saya temukan menawarkan jumlah wang yang sangat besar. Apabila diteliti, saya dapati tarikh luput pada kebanyakan resit berakhir pada 1946, setahun setelah Pendudukan Jepun berakhir. Pemilik resit ini pasti mengalami kerugian kerana pihak British mengharamkan semua mata wang era peperangan apabila pulang semula ke Pulau Pinang!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/alannewasia8.jpg_1515304877.jpg" style="font-size: medium; text-align: start;" width="297" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Secara beransur-ansur, seawal bulan November 1944, arus peperangan mula memberi masalah kepada Jepun apabila pasukan pengebom tentera Bersekutu mula tiba di Pulau Pinang dan mengebom tempat-tempat penting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini membuatkan pemilik-pemilik kedai merasa gementar lalu menutup kedai mereka sambil menunggu serangan seterusnya. Pada 15 Nov 1944, surat khabar <i>Penang Shimbun</i> melaporkan, ketua Kempetai mengeluarkan amaran kepada pemilik-pemilik kedai agar membuka semula perniagaan mereka dan sekiranya mereka gagal berbuat demikian, perniagaan mereka akan ditutup selama-lamanya. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Serangan pada 11 Jun 1945 telah memusnahkan bangunan-bangunan kerajaan, pejabat pos dan struktur-struktur bangunan penting berhampiran kawasan dermaga. Sehari selepas serangan besar-besaran dilancarkan pada 1 Feb, seluruh bandar George Town menjadi sunyi sepi. Ramai penduduk memilih sama ada duduk di dalam rumah atau melarikan diri ke subbandar bagi mengelak diserang.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PEPERANGAN BERAKHIR</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akhirnya, Jepun mengerah kalah pada 15 Ogos 1945. Pada hari yang sama, angkatan tentera laut British bertolak ke Pulau Pinang dari pangkalan tentera di pelabuhan Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Kapal penyapu periuk api yang lebih pantas meninggalkan Colombo tiga hari kemudian bagi membersihkan Selat Melaka. Flotila tentera itu telah merancang untuk tiba di Pulau Pinang pada 21 Ogos. Namun, ketika menghampiri perairan Malaya, Komander bertugas menerima arahan agar melewatkan ketibaan mereka bagi memberikan masa kepada komander-komander Jepun menyerah diri dan meyebarkan arahan gencatan senjata secara berkesan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akhirnya, tentera British tiba di Pulau Pinang pada 3 Sept tetapi terpaksa menangguhkan ketibaan mereka selama 24 jam lagi apabila komander Jepun bertugas meminta lebih banyak masa bagi memindahkan tenteranya dari tanah besar. Acara penempatan semula rasmi diadakan di <i>Swettenham Pier</i> pada 5 Sept 1945.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sekembalinya pasukan Bersekutu memberikan beliau peluang untuk menyimpan dokumen ini sebagai rekod.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bagi saya, peluang untuk memiliki secebis sejarah negara kita yang mengingatkan saya akan zaman ketika keamanan adalah satu memori.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kekejaman peperangan dialami ketika zaman Jepun umpama peringatan kepada kita agar menjaga keamanan yang kita miliki. Ayuh kita berusaha agar negara kita tidak akan menyaksikan ketakutan seumpama itu.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The discovery of a unique Sarawak vase spurs writer to learn more about the residences built by the White Rajahs in Kuching.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sarawak pottery is world renowned. Often depicting ethnic motifs and themes, these multicolored ceramic receptacles are highly sought after by tourists as treasured keepsakes as well as make meaningful gifts for their loved ones and also keen interest from deep pocketed collectors that these exquisite pieces of art have come to spread throughout the country and also the world over.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/vase.jpg_1507444504.jpg" width="300" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">The vase depicting scene of the Astana</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Recently I had the rare opportunity of viewing a large collection of pottery pieces ranging from drinking water cistern, candle holders, ashtrays, mugs to teapots, all made by master potters from the Land of the Hornbill. Among the potpourri of shapes, colors and sizes, a pale yellow vase struck out like a sore thumb - it was a total deviation from the other Sarawak ceramics I have seen.</span></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I promptly picked up the 0.45m tall vessel and began studying it in detail. The first thing that struck me was the absence of the customary traditional flora and fauna designs that are so prevalent in contemporary Sarawak earthenware. Instead, this one depicted a landscaped scene featuring a couple of important looking colonial era buildings. This novel subject depiction was like a breath of fresh air.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Somehow, the buildings looked rather familiar but I just couldn't remember at that point of time. Feeling rather exasperated, left after seeking permission to take photographs of the receptacle. I was hoping to solve the mystery after I get home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was only a few days later when I finally realised that the buildings on the vase were actually part of a single large sprawling complex called the Astana. Currently the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua or Governor of Sarawak, this magnificent palace with its iconic white tower, was once the home of two of Sarawak's White Rajahs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THE GREAT HOUSES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Located on the north bank of the Sarawak River and directly opposite the Kuching Waterfront, the Astana was the third and last residence to be occupied the same site on the hill where the early Sultans of Brunei once lived before the arrival of James Brooke in 1838.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first residence, built by James Brooke in 1842, was burnt to the ground during the Insurrection of February 1857. James Brooke's second home, built almost immediately to replace the first, was demolished after only 12 in 1869 to make way for the Astana.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Unlike the magnificent and lavishly-built Astana, the first residence occupied by the White Rajah was merely referred to as "Mr. Brooke's Residence". Built during those tumultuous early years, this was a very modest structure. Made entire of wood on raised posts and measuring approximately 5 square metre, it had four bedrooms, one in each corner and a large siting room in the centre with a room reserved specially for Brooke's use at the back.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="287" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/first-(2).jpg_1507444513.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first residence built by James Brooke in 1842 was burnt down by the Hakka miners.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was said that Brooke built his first house in the image of the bungalows he'd lived in during his early years with the British East India Company. Although the large sitting room was the most used section of the house (this was where Brooke held regular meetings with the local chiefs to keep in touch with the most recent developments), it was the vast collection of books in the special room that he treasured the most. It broke his heart when the library and its precious contents were razed to the ground on Feb 18, 1857.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On that fateful day, Lie Shan Bang led 600 of his fellow Chinese Hakka miners from Bau down the Sarawak River and marched towards Kuching. Upon arrival at the town, the mob began attacking government installations, murdering five Europeans and setting alight many buildings in the process. The town was in total chaos and the surviving Europeans hurriedly sought shelter in the town's Anglican Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Brooke saved his own life by swimming to safety across a nearby stream. His getaway was unknown to the rebels. The renegade Chinese miners then mistook a 17-year-old European lad to be the Rajah, decapitated him and paraded his head around Kuching on the end of a long pole. Fortunately, the timely arrival of a Borneo Company steamer and a large Dayak force from Lingga quickly put down the rebellion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That particular incident made Brooke realize the need for stronger fortifications to ensure his safety. He immediately set about building a more secure residence and for the first time gave his home an official mane - "Government House". Although the residence was still built of wood, this time the Rajah added a small fort-like structure called "The Tower' next to his home. The two storey brick and mortar citadel served as a place of refuge during emergency.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, not much has been recorded about this second residence as it was considered as unlucky building after Captain Brooke Johnson, the Rajah Muda at that time, suffered a series of great misfortunes within a space of just three and a half years. He lost his first wife Annie, his son Francis and second wife Julia. All of them died in relatively quick succession and under strange inexplicable circumstances in the Government House. The deceased were laid to rest in the Brooke burial ground on the riverside close by.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">CONSTRUCTION OF THE ASTANA</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Plans to build the Astana began to surface soon after Brooke's death in 1868. A year after he was installed as the Second Rajah of Sarawak., Charles Brooke decided to go on leave and planned to return home to England with the intention of marrying. Wary of the stigma attached to the Government House, he promptly gave orders for it to be dismantled. A year later, in 1870, a spanking new brick and mortar structure was ready to receive Rajah and his new bride, Ranee Margaret Alice Lili de Windt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone in Kuching marvelled at the new building and agreed that it was indeed a fitting residence for a Rajah and worthy of the name Astana, which meant palace in the local language. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="314" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/ranee.jpg_1507444510.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ranee Margaret (seated, second from right) with her ladies in waiting</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I scrutinise the image on the vase, conscious of the fact that the original Astana, built nearly 150 years ago, would have been much smaller that it is today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="300" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/river-(1).jpg_1507444507.jpg" style="text-align: center;" width="400" /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">View of the Astana from the Sarawak River</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quite a number of annex buildings have been added over the years especially on the place where there was once an areca nut plantation. Charles Brooke maintained the trees for the benefit of his Dayak chieftains who'd call upon him each time they needed a large supply of betel nuts for their feasts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I initially thought that the painting on the vase was that of two separate buildings after mistaking the Astana's square tower and battlements for those of Fort Margaritha. That section in fact serves as the Astana's main entrance.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Soon after its completion, the Astana quickly became the icon of Charles Brooke's authority to rule. Although too small to be shown on the vase, Sarawak's official motto, Dum Spiro Spero ('While there is life, there is hope') taken from the Brooke's coat of arms, was placed over the main entrance in Jawi script.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Charles Brooke ruled Sarawak like an English country estate, often standing at the Astana's river-facing verandah each morning with a telescope in his hands. He'd observe his officers arriving for work at the Government Offices on the opposing side of the Sarawak River. A stickler for discipline, Charles Brooke was known to send notices to late comers within minutes of their arrival, reminding them of the official working hours.</span>
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Charles Brooke ordered the building of the Astana in 1869.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GREY TIDINGS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Things became a little relaxed by the time the third Rajah, Charles Vyner Brooke came to power. Together with Ranee Sylvia Brett, the Rajah entertained regularly and held lavish parties for his guests. Each year, all the important and well connected people in would looke forward to the traditional banquet and ball held at the Astana during New Year's Eve. It was said that about 100 guests would sit down and make merry on a long table with the Rajah and Ranee seated at opposing ends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">People living in Kuching prior to the Second World War recall seeing the tower in the Astana covered with a type of local creeper which very much resembled the English Ivy. Legend has it that the plant was there to protect the Astana's occupants and bad luck would follow if it was removed or the tower white-washed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the war, Sarawak was ruled by the Japanese Imperial Army. Marquis Toshinari Maeda, as the commander of the Japanese forces in northern Borneo which included Sarawak, Brunie, Labuan, and North Borneo, made the Astana his official residence. It was said that the Commander disliked the creepers growing on the tower as they reminded him of his time spent in Great Britain as a Japanese military attache from 1927 to 1930.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Subsequently, Maeda had the creepers removed, exposing the tower's white-wash underneath. It didn't take long for the whole of Kuching to be awashed with rumors of an impending calamity. Then, just three days later, on Sept 5, 1942, after witnessing the execution of five men accused of stealing petrol, Maeda boarded a plane for Labuan to officiate an airport bearing his name. Sadly, Maeda never arrived. His plane disappeared and was not found until a month later. It had crased off the coast of Tanjung Datu, Bintulu and experts at the crash site were unable to determine the cause of the fatal accident.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">After the war, Charles Vyner Brooke, faced with a series of family disputes concerning succession, decided to cede sovereignty of Sarawak to the British Crown. The Cession Bill was passed by the Council Negri on May 17, 1946 with a narrow majority of just three votes. Thereafter, the Astana has been occupied by British Colonial Governors and following the formation of Malaysia on Sept 16, 1962 until today, by Sarawak-born Governors. The Astana still stands proud by the banks of the Sarawak River today, serving as a reminder of the days when all of the states was ruled by the Brookes.</span>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Penemuan sebuah pasu unik Sarawak mendorong penulis mempelajari lebih banyak mengenai rumah yang dibina oleh Rajah-Rajah Putih di Kuching.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tembikar Sarawak terkenal di dunia kerana sering memaparkan motif etnik dan tema etnik, ceramik warna-warni ini sering dicari-cari oleh pelancung sebagai barangan berharga dan turut diberikan sebagai hadiah kepada orang tersayang dan kepada sahabat handai. Amalan ini membuatkan para pengumpul barangan seni cantik ini telah tersebar ke seluruh negara dan ke seluruh dunia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Baru-baru ini saya berkesempatan untuk menyaksikan koleksi hebat barangan tembikar. Ia merangkumi pelbagai bentuk barangan tembikar daripada tangki air mimuman, pemegang lilin, tempat abu rokok, koleh kepada teko teh yang dibuat oleh tukang tembikar mahir dari Bumi Kenyalang. Terdapat pelbagai bentuk potpori, pelbagai warna dan saiz dan kelihatan sebuah pasu berwarna kuning lusuh menonjol - ia amat berbeza daripada barangan ceramik Sarawak yang pernah saya lihat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Saya mencapai pasu yang ketinggian 0.45m dan mula melihatnya dengan teliti. Perkara pertama yang menarik perhatian saya adalah ketiadaan reka bentuk flora dan fauna tradisi yang biasa dilihat pada barangan tembikar kontemporai Sarawak. Ia menggambarkan lanskap yang menunjukkan dua buah bangunan seperti bangunan penting era kolonial dan umpama udara segar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Entah kenapa, bangunan-bangunan itu kelihatan seperti biasa dilihat tetapi saya tidak dapat mengimbas kembali pada ketika itu. Saya merasa agak jengkel dan meninggalkan tempat tersebut setelah memperoleh kebenaran mengambil gambar pasu tersebut. Saya harap dapat menyelesaikan misteri ini setelah pulang semula ke rumah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Selang beberapa hari, barulah saya sedar akan gambar lukisan bangunan pada pasu itu sebenarnya sebahagian daripada selerak kompleks yang bernama Astana. Kini, ia merupakan kediaman rasmi Yang di-Pertua atau gabenor Sarawak. Istana hebat ini bersama menara ikonik putih pernah menjadi kediaman dua Rajah Putih Sarawak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">RUMAH-RUMAH AGAM</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Terletak di bahagian utara tebing Sungai Sarawak dan betul-betul bertentangan <i>Kuching Waterfront</i>. Astana ini merupakan yang ketiga dan terakhir yang didiami oleh pemerintah Dinasti Brooke. Ketiga-tiga rumah agam ini terletak di tapak sama atas bukit yang pernah didiami oleh Sultan-Sultan Brunei terdahulu sebelum ketibaan <i>James Brooke</i> pada 1838.</span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Berlawanan dengan Astana yang indah dan mengagumkan serta mewah ini, tempat tinggal pertama Raja Putih pertama asalnya dirujuk sebagai "Rumah En. Brooke". Dibina pada awal tahun ketika keadaan huru-hara, strukturnya amat sederhana. Keseluruhan struktur dibina menggunakan kayu dan diatas tiang yang ditegakkan. Ia berukuran tepat 5 meter persegi dan mempunyai empat buah bilik tidur yang terletak di setiap penjuru dan sebuah ruang tamu di bahagian tengah-tengah dengan sebuah bilik khas untuk kegunaan Brooke sahaja di bahagian belakang.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dikatakan bahawa Brooke membina rumah pertama beliau dengan bayangan banglo-banglo yang pernah beliau tinggal pada awal penglibatannya dengan Syarikat India Timur British. Walaupun ruang tamu besar itu sering kali digunakan (tempat Brooke sering mengadakan mesyuarat dengan ketua-ketua kampung bagi mengetahui perkembangan terbaharu), beliau amat meminati koleksi besar buku-buku yang disimpan dalam bilik khas. Belaiu merasa amat kecewa apabila perpustakaan serta barangan dalamnya bakar hangus pada Febuari 18, 1857.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pada hari tersebut, Liu Shan Bang meng</span><span style="font-size: large;">etuai 600 pelombong Cina Hakka dari Bau, yang terletak brhampiran Sungai Sarawak menuju ke Kuching. Setelah tiba di sana, kumpulan perusuh mula menyerang pusat kerajaan, membunuh lima orang Eropah dan membakar banyak bangunan. Bandar Kuching menjadi huru-hara dan orang Eropah yang terselamat mencari perlindungan di Gereja England berhampiran.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kejadian ini membuatkan Brooke sedar akan keperluan kubu yang lebih kuat bagi menjamin keselamatannya. Maka dengan serta-merta beliau membuat keputusan untuk membina rumah yang lebih selamat dan buat pertama kali, beliau menamakan rumah rasminya - "Rumah Kerajaan". Walaupun, rumah baharunya juga dibina dengan kayu, beliau menambah struktur seperti sebuah kubu kecil dipanggi <i>"The Tower"</i> bersebelahan rumahnya. Kubu kota dua tingkat diperbuat daripada bata dan mortar dijadikan sebagai tempat perlindungan ketika darurat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Malangnya, tiada banyak maklumat mengenai rumah kedua ini. Ia dianggap sebagai bangunan tidak bernasib baik setelah Kapten Brooke Johnson, Rajah Muda ketika itu, mengalami beberapa kejadian malang dalam tempoh tiga setengah tahun. Beliau kehilangan isteri pertamanya, Annie, anak lelakinya, Francis dan isteri keduanya, Julia. Kesemua mereka meningal dunia satu per satu di dalam Rumah Kerajaan dan dalam situasi yang tidak dapat dijelaskan. Kesemua mereka dikebumikan di tanah perkuburan Brooke di tepi sungai berhampiran.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">PEMBINAAN ASTANA</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Rancangan untuk membina Astana mula muncul setelah kematian Brooke pada tahun 1868. Setahun setelah ditabalkan sebagai Rajah Kedua Sarawak, Charles Brooke mengambil keputusan untuk bercuti dan merancang untuk pulang ke England dengan niat untuk berkahwin. Beliau berhati-hati dengan stigma yang dikaitkan dengan Rumah Kerajaan, beliau memberi arahan agar ia dirobohkan. Setahun kemudian, pada tahun 1870, sebuah struktur baharu diperbuat daripada bata dan mortar telah siap dibina dan bersedia untuk menerima Rajah dan isteri barunya, Ranee Margaret Alice Lili de Windt.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ranee Margaret (duduk, dua dari kanan) bersama pembantu-pembantu</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Semua orang di Kuching berasa kagum dengan bangunan baharu ini dan bersetuju ia sesuai sebagai rumah untuk Rajah dan harus dinamakan sebagai Astana, bermaksud istana dalam bahasa tempatan. Saya meneliti imej pada pasu serta menyedari bahawa Astana tersebut dibina hampir 150 tahun lalu bersaiz kecil dengan Astana baharu.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beberapa ruang tambahan mula dibina pada Astana ini pada tahun-tahun berikutnya pada kawasan yang terdapat ladang pokok buah pinang. Charles Brooke mengekalkan pokok-pokok ini untuk ketua suku kaum Dayak yang akan meminta daripadanya kuantiti buah pinang banyak setiap kali mereka mengadakan jamuan.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Charles Brooke mempunyai hubungan erat dengan ketua-ketua suku kaum Dayak</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pada mulanya, saya fikir lukisan pada pasu tersebut adalah dua buah banguana apabila tersilap menganggap menara bersegi empat Astana dan benteng Kubu Margaritha. Sebenarnya, bahagian tersebut adalah pintu utama Astana.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Setelah dibina, Astana menjadi ikon kuasa pemerintahan Charles Brooke. Walaupun ia kecil untuk dilukiskan pada pasu, motto rasmi Sarawak adalah <i>Dum Spiro Sporo</i> (Di mana ada kehidupan, di situ ada harapan) diambil daripada jata Brooke ditulis dalam tulisan jawi dan diletakkan pada pintu masuk utama Astana.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Charles Brooke memerintah Sarawak seperti memerintah ladang Inggeris. Setiap pagi, beliau akan berdiri di veranda Astana yang terletak berhadapan dengan sungai sambil melihat menerusi teleskop. Beliau memerhati ketibaan para pegawai bertugas di pejabat Kerajaan yang terletak di seberang Sungai Sarawak. Beliau amat cerewet mengenai displin akan menghantar notis kepada para pegawainya yang tiba lewat untuk mengingatkan mereka akan waktu bertugas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">PERUBAHAN MASA</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apabila Rajah ketiga, <i>Charles Vyner Brooke </i>menjadi Rajah, keadaan menjadi sedikit tenang. Bersama-sama dengan <i>Ranee Sylvia Brett</i>, beliau sering mengadakan jamuan mewah untuk tetamunya. Saban tahun, kesemua individu-individu penting dan orang yang berkepentingan di Kuching akan ternanti-nanti akan jamuan tradisi dan majlis tari-menari di Astana pada ambang Tahun Baharu. Dikatakan 100 jemputan akan duduk dan menjamu selera di sebuah meja panjang yang menempatkan Rajah dan Ranee di setiap hujung meja.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Penduduk yang tinggal di Kuching sebelum Perang Dunia Kedua masih ingat akan menara di Astana dilitupi dengan sejenis tumbuhan menjalar tempatan yang sama seperti English Ivy. Dikisahkan tumbuhan itu bertujuan melindungi ahli keluarga di Astana dan sebarang nasib malang yang mungkin menimpa sekiranya tumbuhan itu dialihkan atau menara tersebut dibiarkan dengan warna putih.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ketika perang, Sarawak diperrintah oleh Tentera Imperial Jepun <i>Marquis Toshirnari Maeda</i> ialah komandar tentera Jepun di bahagian utara Borneo iaitu Sarawak, Brunei, Labuan dan utara Borneo dan menjadikan Astana sebagai kediaman rasminya. Dikatakan beliau tidak suka akan tumbuhan menjalar pada menara kerana ia mengingatkannya kembali masa yang beliau habiskan di <i>Great Britain</i> ketika bertugas sebagai tentera atase Jepun dari tahun 1927 hingga 1930.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maeda mengarahkan tumbuhan menjalar itu dibuang. Ini membuatkan warna putih menara terdedah. Tidak lama kemudian, berita mula tersebar di seluruh Kuching bahawa akan berlaku bencana. Hanya tiga hari tumbuhan menjalar itu dibuang, pada 15 Sept, 1942 setelah Maeda menyaksikan pelaksanaan hukuman mati terhadap lima orang atas tuduhan mencuri petrol beliau menaiki pesawat ke Labuan bagi merasmikan lapangan terbang sempena namanya. Malang sekali, beliau tidak tiba. Pesawat yang dinaiki beliau hilang dan hanya ditemui sebulan kemudian. Ia telah terhempas di pesisir Tanjung Datu, Bintulu. Pakar tapak kejadian tidak dapat mengenal pasti sebab pesawat terhempas!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span><span style="font-size: large;">etelah perang berakhir, <i>Charles Vyner Brooke</i> menghadapi pelbagai masalah keluarga mengenai pewaris dan mengambil keputusan menyerahkan kedaulatan Sarawak kepada British. Rang Undang-Undang Penyerahan diluluskan oleh Majlis Negeri pada 17 Mei, 1946 dengan majoriti kecil iaitu kelebihan tiga undi sahaja. Setelah itu, Astana didiami oleh Gabenor-Gabenor Kolonial British sehingga pembentukan Malaysia pada 16 Sept, 1963 dan hari ini, ia didiami oleh Gabenor-Gabenor kelahiran Sarawak. Astana masih berdiri teguh di tebing Sungai Sarawak, mengingatkan kita pada era ketika semua negeri diperintah oleh kelurga Brooke.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">UNSUNG HEROES</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THEY, TOO, DESERVE RECOGNITION</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The New Straits Times recently published an article on Sybil Kathigasu, Malaya's only female recipient of the George Medal for courage. The article highlighted calls for the wartime nurse, who was held captive and tortured during World War 2, to be included in our history books. Writer highlights other unsung heroes who deserve a spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is time to start recognising unsung heroes who have contributed to the nation without seeking money or glory.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Badan Warisan Malaysia president Elizabeth Cardosa said it was imperative to recognise individuals or communities that have contributed to the development of Malaysia, its people and its way of life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"We should celebrate all of them, not just confine our history books to personalities who are primarily from the political or economic arenas."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She said these included personalities in the fields of teaching, science, medicine, sports as well as community leaders.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cardosa said it was time that the Education Ministry's Curriculum Development Division reviewed how the History subject was taught in scholls to make space for these heroes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"It should not only be people or things that promote the official national narrative.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"Students should be given the opportunity to learn about local heroes, too."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cardosa said schools could implement history projects on local leaders by collaborating with heritage or history societies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She said people of significance could be traced back to names of buildings and roads.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Abdullah Hukum was one such person. He was one of the pioneers involved in the development of Kuala Lumpur in the 1880s. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He was also responsible for opening up areas such as Pudu, Bukit Bintang and Sungai Putih, which is now known as Bangsar.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He was honoured by then Sultan of Selangor Sultan Abdul Samad with the title of Tuk Dagang Dianjuk.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Dr Travers Aston Otho Travers</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Travers was responsible for the building of the Sungai Buloh Leprosarium as a humane way to care for and treat leprosy victims who were ostracised in the early 20th century.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The leprosarium, believed to be the most modern of its time and then second largest in the world, opened on Aug 16, 1930. Countries like Brazil even modelled theirs after it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Dr Travers, a former Selangor state surgeon, was drawn to the care of leprosy patients late in 1922 when he was tasked to take charge of a leprosy asylum in Setapal, Kuala Lumpur.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Leprosy was incurable at that time. Many tried to run away, and those who could not relied on government-supplied opium to ease their pain. Seeing that, he proposed that the British government build a more humane leprosarium in Sungai Buloh, at a place then called the Valley of Hope.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Jalan Travers, a short stretch behind Jalan Bangsar in Kuala Lumpur, honours his contribution.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tan won the 1996 All England Open Badminton Champions by defeating Japan's Masao Akiyama in the finals.</span><span style="font-size: large;">This came during a run of four straight appearances in the All England finals from 1965 to 1968.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tan was a member of four Malaysian Thomas Cup teams, including its world champion team of 1967.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He won numerous international singles titles during the mid-to late 1960s, including the Danish Open, US Open, Canadian Open and Malaysian Open. He also won both singles and doubles titles at the 1966 British Commonwealth Games.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ng is widely recognised as one of the greatest doubles players in the history of the sports.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He won the All England Open Badminton Championships men's doubles title thrice, twice with Datuk Tna Yee Khan in 1965 and 1966 and once with the late Datuk Punch Gunalan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Feared for his speed, power and anticipation on the court, he was also a member of the 1967 Thomas Cup winning team.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1960s, Ng and Yee Khan formed one of the most successful men's doubles teams of the time, winning titles including the All England, Asian Games and the Badminton Asia Championships.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A New Sunday Times report stated that the mere mention of Kulasingam's name would send shivers down the spine of criminals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He was best knwon for capturing the infamous "Botak Chin", who carried out many robberies in the Klang Valley in the 1970s.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He was also captured "Kepong Chai", a rapist with a penchant for scarring the faces of women with a blade.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">INDIVIDU-INDIVIDU INI HARUS TURUT DIIKTIRAF </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Baru-baru ini <i>New Straits Times</i> menyiarkan satu rencana mengenai <i>Sybil Kathigasu</i>, satu-satunya penerima wanita Pingat Keberanian <i>George</i>. Rencana itu mengutarakan permintaan agar </span><span style="font-size: large;">jururawat tersebut</span><span style="font-size: large;"> telah ditahan dan diseksa </span><span style="font-size: large;">ketika Perang Dunia 2, harus</span><span style="font-size: large;"> dinyatakan dalam buku sejarah kita. Penulis mengutarakan wira-wira lain di sebalik tabir yang harus diiktiraf juga.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sudah tiba masanya kita mengiktiraf wira-wira di sebalik tabir yang menyumbang tenaga mereka untuk negara kita tanpa mengharapkan duit atau kepujian.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Presiden Badan Warisan Malaysia <i>Elizabeth Cardosa</i> berkata penting untuk mengiktiraf individu or komuniti yang telah menyumbang ke arah pembangunan Malaysia, pembangunan rakyat Malaysia dan cara hidup rakyat Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Kita harus meraikan kesemua mereka ini, tidak hanya terkongkong kepada mereka dari segi politik atau segi ekonomi sahaja."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Beliau berkata ini termasuk personaliti daripada bidang perguruan, bidang sains, bidang perubatan, bidang sukan dan juga pemimpin komuniti.</span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Cardosa</i> berkata sudah tiba masanya Bahagian Pembangunan Kurikulum Kementerian Pendidikan mengkaji bagaimanakah mata pelajaran sejarah boleh diajar di sekolah bagi memuatkan pengajaran hero-hero ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Ia tidak harus terikat pada individu atau barangan yang mempromosi naratif rasmi kebangsaan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Pelajar harus diberi peluang mempelajari mengenai hero-hero tempatan ini."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Cardosa</i> berkata pihak sekolah boleh melaksanakan projek sejarah mengenai pemimpin tempatan dengan berkolabrasi dengan persatuan warisan atau persatuan sejarah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beliau berkata individu-individu penting seperti ini boleh dikesan dengan hanya melihat nama-nama bangunan atau nama-mana jalan raya.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pada masa itu, penyakit kusta tidak dapat dirawat dan ramai pesakit cuba melarikan diri dan juga mereka yang tidak dapat bergantung kepada ganja yang diberikan oleh kerajaan bagi mengatasi kesakitan yang dialami.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To microwave or not?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Consider the implications that microwaved foods may have on your physical wellbeing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to food preparation, we are always looking for ways to simplify and shorten the time spent on cooking, and one of the tools meant to make it more convenient to reheat food quickly is the microwave.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the United States and other Western countries, the microwave has been a common household item for over 30 years since it was invented after World War II, revolutionising the way food is prepared and cooked.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you do an Internet search for recipes that use the microwave exclusively to cook a dish, you will find many resources, and this is very convenient for people who live in small, constrained spaces without a proper kitchen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But while the microwave is an easy-to-use tool, what are the consequences that may arise from long-term usage?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How microwaving works?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of World War II, microwaves were invented from military radar technology. It is a type of electromagnetic radiation that moves through air in waves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the spectrum of eletromagnetic radiation, microwaves are on the low end of the scale, second to radio waves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Microwaves bounce about the interior of the microwave, causing the water molecules in your food to vinrate millions of times in once second and heating up food quickly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is known as dielectic heating. Unlike conventionally cooked food, items in the microwave are heated form the outside to the inside, and can be uneven if not allparts of the food contain the same amount of water.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The uneven heating of food can cause damage parts of it and microwaved milk can also kill the antibodies and other nutrients found in breast milk. It is also highly inadvisable for mothers to reheat milk milk bottles to avoid feeding their babies overheated milk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Additionally, microwaving creates new compound not found naturally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They are known as radiolytic compounds, but not enough is known about the effects these compounds have on our bodies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Interesting to note is that microwaving is used in gene-altering research to deform and degrade cells, breaking them apart and making them an easy target for microorganisms like viruses and fungi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If microwaves can do this to food cells, its impact on humans is questionable. However, because the effects of microwaved food on the human body have not yet been fully studied, we aren't clear of its safety.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What can be concluded from the studies that have been done is that microwaving damages the nutritional value of food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Broccoli microwaved with some water lost up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants. In contrast, steamed broccoli lost 11% or less of its antioxidants. (From a study published in the November 2003 issue of <i>The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture</i>) </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A 1998 Japanese study by F. Watanabe showed that just six minutes of microwave heating turned 30%-40% of the vitamins B12 in milk into an inert (dead) form.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a study on garlic, as little as 60 seconds of microwave heating was enough to inactivate its allinase, garlic's principle active ingredient against cancer. (From the <i>Journal of Nutrition, 2011</i>).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A study of the cooking of asparagus spears found that microwaving caused a reduction in vitamin C. (From the Acta Agriculture Scandinavica)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But food damage is not the only thing to be concerned about. </span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Packaging that is microwaveable is usually made with a myriad of chemicals like benzene, toluene, polyethylene terpthalate (PET), xylene and dioxins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At high temperature, even though the packaging is supposed to be microwaveable, it is likely that chemicals might still leak into the food, and intake of these chemicals presents a health risk.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the more hazardous chemicals used in microwavable food is BPA, a plastic that mimics the oestrogen hormone and could cause problems like infertility, low libido dan mental disorders.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Practical alternatives</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All you need to survive without your microwave is to make some changes in your food habit:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Plan ahead. Take the meats you want to cook out of the freezer the night before so that you don't have to defrost your food in the microwave right before you plan to cook it.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Prepare your meals in advance so that you always have ready-cooked meals available on the days that you're too busy or too tired to cook.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Use a toaster oven to heat up your foods instead. Another option is a convection oven.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Both are safe for heating food and are relatively inexpensive appliances.</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Try to add more organic raw food to your diet. There is no need to reheat raw foods, and this is the best way to improve your health over the long run.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Research from the last 30 years on the impact of consuming microwaved has not been very substantial, but we do have a clearer understanding of how microwaves affects proteins, antioxidants and overall nutritional content of food.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hendak gunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro atau tidak?</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pertikaikan kesan makanan yang dimasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro pada kesihatan fizikal anda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kita sering mencari cara mudah serta memendekkan masa apabila menyediakan makanan dan salah satu cara digunakan untuk memudahkan kerja adalah memanaskan makanan menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Di Amerika Syarikat dan negara barat lain, ketuhar gelombang mikro telah menjadi salah satu peralatan rumah lebih dari 30 tahun sejak dicipta setelah berakhirnya Perang Dunia Kedua dan bermulalah perubahan dalam penyediaan makanan dan cara memasak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jika anda melakukan carian di Internet untuk resipi yang menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro, anda akan menemukan banyak carian. Ini amat sesuai untuk mereka yang tinggal di rumah yang bersaiz kecil serta sempit tanpa kemudahan dapur yang sesuai. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ketuhar gelombang mikro sememangnya mudah digunakan, tetapi apakah kesan sampingan jika ia digunakan dalam jangka masa panjang?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bagaimanakah ketuhar gelombang mikro berfungsi</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apabila Perang Dunia Kedua berakhir, ketuhar gelombang mikro dicipta daripada teknologi radar tentera. Ia sejenis radiasi eletromagnetik yang bergerak dalam udara dalam bentuk gelombang. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dalam spektrum radiasi elektromagnetik, gelombang mikro berada pada paras terendah selepas gelombang radio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gelombang mikro bergerak dalam ketuhar mikro menyebabkan molekul air dalam makanan mula bergerak pantas dalam kadar jutaan kali ganda dalam satu saat serta memanaskan makanan dengan pantas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Proses ini dikenali sebagai pemanasan dielektrik. Berbeza dengan cara lama memanaskan semula makanan yang telah dimasak, bahan makanan dalam ketuhar mikro dipanaskan dari luar ketuhar ke dalam ketuhar dan proses pemanasan ini tidak sekata jika jumlah air makanan tidak sama sekata. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pemanasan tidak seimbang ini akan menyebabkan kerosakan pada sebahagian makanan dan susu yang dipanaskan menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro ini akan membunuh antibodi dan nutrien lain yang terdapat dalam susu ibu. Para ibu dinasihatkan agar tidak memanaskan semula susu bayi bagi mengelak menyusukan bayi mereka dengan susu yang telah dipanaskan secara berlebihan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tambahan pula, menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro akan mewujudkan elemen yang tidak wujud secara semulajadi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elemen ini dikenali sebagai campuran <span style="color: red;"><i>radiolytic. </i>Tidak diketahui lagi sejauh manakah elemen<i> </i>ini</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>memberi kesan terhadap badan kita.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Menarik untuk dinyatakan bahawa proses mikro ini digunakan dalam kajian pengubahsuaian gen untuk mengubah bentuk dan merendahkan gred, membahagikannya dan menjadikan ia sasaran mudah untuk mikro organisme seperti virus dan fungi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jika ketuhar gelombang mikro mampu memberi kesan terhadap sel makanan, apakah kesannya terhadap manusia masih menjadi tanda tanya. Disebabkan kajian kesan makanan yang dimasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro masih belum dikaji sepenuhnya, kita masih belum jelas akan keselamatan penggunaannya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apa yang dapat disimpulkan daripada kajian adalah menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro merosakkan nilai nutrisi makanan.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Berikut adalah beberapa contoh kesan terhadap nutrien makanan yang dimasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Brokoli yang dimasak bersama dengan air menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro kehilangan hampir 97% air antioksidan berguna. Berlainan pula brokoli yang dikukus hanya kehilangan sebanyak 11% atau kurang daripada antioksidannya (Mernurut kajan yang dikeluarkan dalam majalah <i>The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture pada November 2003</i>).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Pada tahun 1998, kajian yang dilakukan oleh F. Watanabe dari Jepun menunjukkan memanaskan menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro selama enam minit menukarkan 30%-40% vitamin B12 kepada bentuk <span style="color: red;"><i>inert</i></span> (mati).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dalam satu kajian mengenai bawang putih yang hanya dipanaskan menggunakan ketuhar mikro selama 60 saat mampu tidak mengaktifkan <span style="color: red;"><i>allinase</i></span>, bahan aktif utama untuk menentang kanser.<span style="color: red;"> </span>(Daripada Journal of Nutrition, 2001).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Kajian mengenai masakan asparagus <i>spears </i>menunjukkan memasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro menyebabkan pengurangan vitamin C. (Dipetik daripada <i>Acta Agriculture Scandinavica</i>).</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Akan tetapi, terdapat perkara lain yang harus diambil berat selain daripada kerosakan makanan.</span></div>
<ul>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pembungkusan yang boleh digunakan di dalam ketuhar mikro biasanya dibuat daripada <span style="color: red;"><i>myriads</i></span> kimia seperti <i>benzene, toluene, polyethylene terpthalate (PET), xylene</i> dan dioxins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Walaupun, pembungkusan ini boleh digunakan dalam ketuhar gelombang mikro, namun pada suhu tinggi bahan kimia yang digunakan membuat plastik pembungkusan ini boleh bercampur ke dalam makanan dan pengambilan makanan ini akan <span style="color: red;"><i>mimics</i></span> hormon <span style="color: red;"><i>oestrogen</i></span> dan mampu menyebabkan masalah seperti ketidak suburan, <span style="color: red;"><i>libido</i></span> rendah dan masalah mental.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pilihan praktikal</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apa yang perlu anda lakukan tanpa menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro adalah membuat beberapa perubahan dalam tabiat pemakanan anda:</span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Perancangan awal. Keluarkan daging yang hendak dimasak daripada tempat beku pada malam sebelumnya supaya anda tidak perlu mencairkan ais pada daging dalam ketuhar mikro.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sediakan makanan lebih awal supaya anda sentiasa ada makanan yang telah disediakan pada hari anda sibuk atau terlalu letih untuk memasak.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gunakan ketuhar pembakar untuk memanaskan makanan anda. Pilihan lain ialah ketuhar biasa.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kedua-dua ketuhar ini selamat untuk memanaskan makanan dengan harga berpatutan.</span></div>
<ul><span style="font-size: large;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Cuba masukkan lebih banyak makanan organik mentah. Makanan mentah tidak perlu dipanaskan dan ini cara terbaik untuk memeliharakan kesihatan anda untuk jangka masa masa panjang.</li>
</span></ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Kajian selama 30 tahun mengenai kesan mengamalkan makanan yang dimasak menggunakan ketuhar gelombang mikro tidak memberikan meklumat jelas. Namun, kita faham bagaimanakah ketuhar gelombang mikro menjejaskan protein, antioksidan dan seluruh nutrisi dalam makanan.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Pemakanan Sihat</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ramai daripada kita mengabaikan makanan sihat dan tidak lagi mengikut piramid makanan yang disarankan Kementerian Kesihatan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kalau diperhatikan, masyarakat kita makan sepanjang masa - malah selepas jam 12 tengah malam masih ada yang melepak di kedai kopi menikmati nasi lemak atu roti canai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tidak hairanlah jika Malaysia menduduki tangga pertama di rantau Asia Tenggara kerana mempunyai rakyat paling gemuk seiring kadar obesiti yang semakin meningkat setiap tahun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Itu belum dikira peningkatan pesakit kencing manis, darah tinggi atau kolesterol tinggi yang semuanya mempunyai kaitan rapat dengan tabiat makan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Semua orang tahu kita perlu mengamalkan pemakanan seimbang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Makanan seimbang dapat menjauhkan kita daripada pelbagai penyakit. Makanan seimbang bermaksud makanan yang menyumbang semua nutrisi diperlukan badan seperti karbohidrat, protein, lemak, serat, bahan galian, vitamin dan asid lemak dalam kuantiti secukupnya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pemakanan yang sihat seharusnya dipupuk dari rumah dan seelok-eloknya ketika kanak-kanak supaya ia menjadi satu tabiat sepanjang hayat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beikut adalah amalan pemakanan secara sihat yang disarankan Lembaga Promosi Kesihatan Malaysia yang boleh kita jadikan panduan dalam pemakanan seharian.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Pastikan pengambilan nasi dan bijirin cukup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kumpulan makanan ini termasuk bijirin seperti nasi, gandum, pulut, oat, barli, jagung, produk bijirin seperti mi, roti, kuih-kuih, biskut, bijirin sarapan dan ubi-ubian contohnya kentang, keledek, ubi kayu dan keladi. Setiap hari badan kita memerlukan empat hingga lapan sajian daripada kumpulan ini. Makanlah semua jenis makanan daripada kumpulan makanan ini dan utamakan makanan tinggi serat seperti beras perang atau kurangkan pengambilan udang, ketam dan kerang. Makan daging, ayam dan telur secara sederhana. Pilih daging kurang lemak seperti daging batanu roti bijirin penuh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Lebihkan sayur-sayuran dan buah-buahan setiap hari. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amalkan pengambilan pelbagai jenis buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran dengan kuantiti yang banyak dalam setiap hidangan. Makan sayur-sayuran berwarna hijau seperti sawi dan kailan bersama batang sayur seelok-eloknya setiap hari. Namun jangan pula mengabaikan sayur-sayuran berwarna lain kerana setiap sayur-sayuran ada khasiatnya tersendiri. Makanlah sayur-sayuran seperti lada Benggala, peria dan petola beberapa kali seminggu. Utamakan buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran segar berbanding yang diproses.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Makan ikan, daging, ayam, telur dan kekacang secara sederhana. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Makan sekurang-kurangnya seekor ikan setiap hari yang terdiri daripada pelbagai jenis ikan. Buang sebanyak mungkin lemak yang kelihatan sebelum memasaknya. Pilih bahagian ayam tanpa kulit seperti dada ayam atau buang kulit ayam sebelum memasak. Hadkan pengambilan organ dalaman haiwan seperti hati, limpa dan otak. Masak daging atau ayam menggunakan kaedah masakan yang kurang berlemak seperti membakar, mengukus, merebus atau memanggang. Hadkan pengambilan makanan laut yang bersalut tepung seperti ikan goreng, udang goreng tepung dan sebagainya. Kaedah ini juga menyebabkan makanan menyerap lebih banyak minyak ketika menggoreng. Pilih pelbagai jenis kekacang dan dal serta produknya seperti tempe atau tauhu ketika menyediakan makanan. Tambah kekacang seperti kacang pis atau dal dalam sup dan lauk. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Ambil susu dan produk tenusu secukupnya.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tingkatkan pengambilan susu seperti produk susu yang rendah gula ketika penyediaan makanan atau minuman. Gantikan susu pekat manis dengan susu dalam bentuk cecair atau susu tepung.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Hadkan makanan tinggi kandungan lemak dan kolesterol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hadkan penggunaan minyak dan lemak seperti minyak kelapa dan santan. Buang lemak pada daging atau ayam sebelum memasaknya seperti membuang kulit pada ayam. Kurangkan penggunaan minyak masak ketika penyediaan makanan. Pelbagaikan kaedah memasak seperti mengukus, merebus, memanggang dan membakar. Hadkan pengambilan makanan daripada organ haiwan seperti otak dan hati serta telur ikan kurang daripada dua kali sebulan. Buang kepala ikan bilis dan udang sebelum memasak. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Pilih dan sediakan makanan yang kurang garam dan sos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kurangkan penggunaan bahan perisa atau serbuk perasa seperti garam semasa memasak. Kurangkan juga penggunaan sos seperti sos cili, sos tomato, sos ikan atau sos soya dalam masakan. Kurangkan pengambilan makanan yang tinggi garam seperti ikan masin, telur masin, sayur asin, kerepek atau keropok masin serta makanan diproses seperti sosej, nuget, bebola daging dan burger. Rendam makanan yang masin sebelum dimasak. Gunakan bahan perisa penambah perisa semula jadi seperti bawang putih, halia, serai, limau nipis, daun sup, daun kesum dan rempah ratus untuk menambah perisa dalam makanan. Baca label dan elakkan produk yang menyenaraikan garam di bahagian awal senarai ramuan dan pilih produk berlabel 'rendah garam'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Ambil makanan dan minuman kurang gula. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan minuman manis seperti air berkarbonat, sirap atau kordial dan lebihkan pengambilan air kosong. Hadkan gula, susu pekat manis atau krimer manis kepada satu sudu teh saja atau setiap cawan. Elak menambah gula dalam masakan. Elakkan juga makan dan minum antara hidangan utama dan sebelum tidur. Amalkan memakan buah sebagai pencuci mulut bagi menggantikan kuih, kek, dan bubur manis. Baca label dan elakkan produk yang menyenaraikan gula di bahagian awal senarai ramuan. Pilih produk berlabel 'rendah gula' dan 'bebas gula'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Minum banyak air kosong setiap hari.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Air adalah komponen utama yang terkandung dalam tubuh manusia. Jumlah pengambilan air kosong yang disarankan sebanyak enam hingga lapan gelas sehari. Minum satu hingga dua gelas air semasa waktu makan. Kerap minum air kosong walaupun anda tidak dahaga. Ambil sekurang-kurangnya dua gelas tambahan apabila melakukan aktiviti fizikal bagi menggantikan air yang hilang semasa berpeluh contohnya seperti melakukan aktiviti bersenam.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If we take a look, our society eats all the time - even after midnight, there are still many customers sitting around in coffee shop and enjoying <i>nasi lemak</i> or <i>roti canai</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No wonder Malaysia is in first place in Southeast Asia for having the most obese people and the number increases every year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This yet to include the increasing number of diabetic, high pressure or high colesterol patients, that related to eating habit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everybody knows that we have to practice balance diet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A balanced diet helps us prevent numerous diseases. A balanced diet means foods that contribute all nutrients that required by body such as carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, minerals, vitamin and fat asid in relevant quantities.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is good if healthy diet can begin from home when the kids are young, so that it'll be a life long habit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Below are healthy eating practisce as recommended by <i>Lembaga Promosi Kesihatan Malaysia</i> that can be used as a guideline in our daily diet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Make sure taking enough rice or cereals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These group of food includes cereals such as rice, wheat, glutinous rice, oats, barley, corn, cereal products such as noodle, bread, variety of kueh, biscuits, breakfast cereals and tubers such as potato, sweet potato, tapioca and yam. Every day our body needs four to eight portions from this group. Consume all types of food from this group and priortize high fiber foods such as brown rice or reduce taking prawn, crap and cockle. Consume meat, chicken and egg in moderate. Choose low fat meat like fully <span style="color: red;"><i>batanu</i></span> meat wholemeal bread.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Consume more vegetables and fruits every day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Practice consume varieties of fruits and vegetables in large quantity in every meal. Consume green color vegetables like mustard, kale with its stem everyday, if possible. However, do not forget other green colored vegetables because different vegetable has its own benefits. Consume vegetables like capsicum, groud and loofah few times in a week. Priortize fresh fruits and vegetables compared to processed foods.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Limit the intake of flour coated seafood like flour fried fish, flour fried prawn etc. This way of cooking absorbs more oil during cooking. Choose varieties of nuts and <span style="color: #cc0000;">dhal</span> and its related products such as <span style="color: lime;">tempeh or tofu</span><span style="color: lime;"> </span>during preparing food. Add nuts like peas or <span style="color: red;">dhal</span> in soup and dish.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Limit the intake of foods that high in fat and cholesterol.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Limit the usage of oil and fat like coconut oil and coconut milk. Discard fat on the meat or chicken like discarding chicken skin before start cooking. Reduce using cooking oil when cooking. Try different methods of cooking like steaming, boiled, grilled<span style="color: magenta;">.</span><span style="color: magenta;"> </span>Limit the intake of animals internal organ such as brain and liver and fish eggs less than twice in a month. Discard <span style="color: red;">anchovy</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">and prawn</span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;">head</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>before start cooking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Choose and prepare foods less in salt and sauce.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Read the label and avoid products that lists salt on top and choose products with 'low salt' label.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Take less sugar foods and drinks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Practice consuming fruits as dessert to replace <span style="color: red;">kueh</span>, cake and sweet mush. Read the label and avoid products that lists sugar at the top. Choose products with 'low sugar' and 'sugar free'.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Drink a lot of water every day</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Theirs was the ultimate love - a love for their country</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our nation experienced its darkest hours during the Japanese Occupation. For almost three years and nine months local civilians endured untold atrocities at the hands fo their new master, the Japanese Imperial Army. Thousands died at the hands of dreaded secret police and its hooded informers. With a mere point of a finger, a civilian standing in line had his or her fate sealed. Countless fathers, sons, mothers and daughters were taken away by the kempetai, never to be seen again by their bereaved families.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the midst of the doom and gloom, many ordinary Malayans stood up to be counted, contributing in their own way to help end the occupation. Their willingness to pay the ultimate price for freedom will never be forgotten. Let us all take sometime to reflect on the scrifices of these gallant Malayans who gave their greatest love to the nation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The intelligence, alertness and intuition of Lieutenant Adnan Saidi helped the largely outnumbered and outgunned Malay Regiment repel Japanese invaders during the Battle of Singapore. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="400" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix2.transformed.jpg" width="303" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the early hours of the battle, Adnan saw soldiers marching up the hill. The approaching group, dressed in Punjabi military uniforms, advanced in a four abreast formation. Observant Adnan immediately became suspicious. He knew that British-trained troops always marched in lines of threes. He saw through the Japanese deception and ordered his men to open fire with their Lewis guns. All the disguised Japanese soldiers were killed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Enraged, the Japanese Imperial Army launched a full banzai assault. The Malay Regiment stood its ground and opened fire until its ammunition ran out. It then resorted to hand to hand combat. Adnan was badly wounded in the skirmish but he refused to retreat or surrender. Instead, he became the rallying point for his men to continue fighting. The Malay Regiment soldiers killed as many Japanese as they could.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Adnan bore the brunt of his aggressors' fury when he was finally captured. They tortured him mercilessly before hanging his body in a gunny sack from a nearby cherry tree. The Japanese soldiers took turns to plunge their bayonets into Adnan's lifeless body. Finally, his dismembered body was doused with petrol and set ablaze.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The wrath of the Japanese Army didn't end with Adnan's death. The kempetai traced his origins back to his village near Kajang, Selangor. Fortunately, his family received news about the approaching search party and burnt everything related to him. As a result, the secret police faied to find any evidence linking to the village. His family was thus spared.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>HELPING THE RESISTANCE FIGHTERS</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sybil Medan Kathigasu and her husband, Dr Adbon Clement Kathigasu operated a clinic in Ipoh prior to the Japanese Occupation. The couple decided to relocate after Dr Kathigasu was injured in a Japanese air-raid. They moved to the nearby town of Papan just days before the Japanese took Ipoh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix1.transformed.jpg" width="419" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At their new home, Sybil who was a trained nurse, continued to help her husband treat local residents. During her spare time, she secretly used her shortwave radio set and listened to BBC broadcass. Sybil disseminated the news among her trusted friends so that they wouldn't be misled by the Japanese propaganda machine. The couple also quietly provided medical services and gave information to the resistance forces around Papan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly, their activities were uncovered by the kempetai in 1943. Both Sybil and her husband were apprehended and taken to the Ipoh Central Police Station. They were tortured by the kempetai but both refused to cooperate. Finally, the secret police tied Sybil to the summer house and brought her daughter, Dawn into the garden. They threatened to burn Dawn alive but the trick failed. Dawn shouted, "Don't tell Mummy. I love you and we'll die together." Sybil said to the Japanese sergeant, "I always thought the Japanese were coward. Now I know it's true."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately for them, a higher ranking Japanese officer arrived just in time and ordered Dawn's release. Sybil managed to call out "Long live Malays!" before she was knocked unconscious by a sentry. Sybil was kept in the Batu Gajah prison while her husband was taken to Taiping. After the occupation, Sybil was flown to London for further medical treatment. She received the George Medal for Gallantry from King George VI himself just months before she died on June 12, 1948. Her body was brought back to Malays whre thousands attended the funeral of perhaps the greatest heroine of Malaya at that time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>SINGA, LION OF MALAYA</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gurchan Singa believed that he has more lives than a cat. He was nearly bitten by a crocodile when he was less than six months old. When he was 7, he was almost drowned and three years later he nearly stepped on a fallen live electrical cable. In 1933, he survived after falling off a cliff while climbing Mount Everest.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix3.transformed.jpg" width="416" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gurchan moved to Kuala Lumpur when the Japanese invaded Malaya. He was on the kempetai watch list because he used to be a police inspector. Together with his brothers, the trio printed leaflets telling people to defy the Japanese. He always sighed his name as SINGA, the lion. Gurchan distributed his work all over Malaya and managed to avoid detection by hiding his papers in his bicycle frame.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After some time, the kempetai raided his house and destroyed his printing machine and paper stocks. A guard was assigned to secure Gurchan. Seizing a moment of distraction, Gurchan knocked the guard down and escaped into the darkness. As a show of defiance, he handwrote 28 copies and pasted them around town that night.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Japanese were furious. They ransacked his house, ill-treated his family and killed his two dogs. Gurchan decided to escape to Allied-occupied Burma with three other friends. Bala, Kitchey and Bul. Calling themselves the Four Musketeers, the men attacked trains carrying petrol on their way to the Siamese border. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The war ended before Gurchan could reach his destination. He later became the principal security officer of Tunku Abdul Rahman. Gurchan Singh died in an accident in Johor in 1965.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>FORCE 136: PREPARING FOR THE RETURN</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lim Bo Seng was already a successful businessman when he decided to help defend Malaya from the Japaneseattacks. Knowing that the kempetai would be looking for him, the British advised Lim to seek refuge in India. His wife, Gan Choo Neo was left to care for their young children in Singapore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix5.transformed.jpg" width="429" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In India, Lim helped recruit and train hundreds of secret agents for the Sino-British guerilla task force called Force 136. The British planned Operation Gustavus to secretly ship their agents back to Malaya to aid local resistance fighters. Lim and his men reached the coast of Teluk Anson on board a Dutch submarine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He travelled under an alias to avoid arousing the suspicions of the kempetai. Together woth Captain John Davis and Major Freddie Spencer Chapman, Lim established contact with the Malayan Peoples's Anti-Japanese Army including Chin Peng and Lai Teck. He convinced the guerrilla fighters to obey British command in exchange for weapons, training and supplies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Operation Gustavus failed when a captured guerrilla fighter, doubling as a fisherman in Pangkor Island, alerted the Japanese. Lim was arrested at a roadblock in Gopeng and taken to the Ipoh kempetai headqueartes. Despite being severely tortured, he never disclosed any information about Force 136.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lim Bo Seng died of dysentery and was buried in an unmarked grave outside Batu Gajah prison. After the surrender, his widow brought his remains back to Singapore where he was buried with full military honours at a hill at MacRitchie Reservoir. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Negara kita mengalami zaman kegelapan ketika pemerintahan Jepun. Hampir tiga tahun sembilan bulan, rakyat menanggung kesengsaraan yang tidak dapat diceritakan dalam tempoh pemerintah Tentera Imperial Jepun. Ribuan mati di tangan polis rahsia dan pemberi maklumat rahsia. Hanya menunjukkan jari, rakyat biasa yang berbaris ditentukan nasib mereka. Tidak terkira berapa ramai ayah, anak lelaki, ibu dan anak perempuan dibawa pergi buat selama-lamanya oleh kempetai, tidak dilihat lagi oleh keluarga mereka.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dalam zaman gelap inilah, muncul ramai rakyat Malaysia bangun dan menyumbang untuk tanah air dengan cara mereka tersendiri bagi mengakhiri zaman pemerintahan Jepun. Pengorbanan mereka untuk kemerdekaan tidak harus dilupakan. Mari kita mengambil sedikit masa dan mengimbas kembali pengorbanan rakyat Malaysia yang memberikan cinta mereka ke negara tercinta ini.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kepintaran, kesedaran dan gerak hati Leftenan Adnan Saidi membantu mengalahkan dan membunuh serta menangkis penceroboh Jepun ketika Peperangan Singapura. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jumlah tentera Jepun melebihi bilangan tentera Regimen Melayu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pada peringkat awal peperangan, Adnan ternampak tentera sedang berarak menaiki bukit. Kumpulan yang sedang menghampiri memakai pakaian tentera Punjabi dengan bilangan empat orang sekumpulan. Adnan yang sedang memerhati dengan teliti terasa curiga. Beliau tahu tentera yang dilatih oleh British akan berarak dengan bilangan tiga orang sekumpulan. Beliau dapat membaca kelicikan tentera Jepun dan mengarahkan tenteranya menyerang menggunakan senjata mesin buatan Lewis. Kesemua tentera Jepun dapat dikalahkan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tentera Jepun merasa marah lalu melancarkan serangan banzai. Tentera Regimen Melayu berdiri teguh dan melancarkan serangan sehingga kehabisan peluru. Kemudian, serangan beralih menggunakan tangan. Adnan mengalami kecederaan teruk dalam pertempuran kecil tetapi beliau enggan menyerah kalah atau beundur. Beliau terus menggalakkan tenteranya meneruskan pertempuran. Regimen askar Melayu berjaya membunuh tentera Jepun seramai mungkin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Apabila Adnan berjaya ditangkap, beliau menjadi mangsa kerakusan tentera Jepun. Mereka menyeksa beliau tanpa belas kasihan sebelum menggantung jasadnya di dalam guni dan digantung pada pokok ceri. Tentera Jepun mengambil giliran menikam jasad Adnan yang tidak bernyawa. Akhirnya, jasad beliau dituang dengan petrol dan dibakar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perasaan ingin balas dendam Jepun tidak berakhir dengan kematian Adnan. Kempetai Jepun berjaya mengesan asal usul beliau ke kampungnya di Kajang, Selangor. Nasib menyebelahi keluargannya apabila mereka mendapat perkhabaran mengenai tentera Jepun sedang menghampiri perkampungan mereka dan membakar semua barang milik Adnan. Polis rahsia Jepun tidak menemui sebarang bukti yang mengaitkan Adnan dengan kampung. Akhirnya, keluarga Adnan dilepaskan.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>MEMBANTU PEJUANG</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sybil Medan Kathigasu bersama suaminya, Dr Abdon Clement Kathigasu membuka klinik di Ipoh sebelum pemerintahan Jepun. Mereka bercadang berpindah setelah Dr Kathigasu tercedera dalam serangan udara oleh tentera Jepun. Mereka berpindah ke bandar berhampiran dengan Papan beberapa hari sebelum tentera Jepun menawan Ipoh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix1.transformed.jpg" width="419" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Di rumah baharu, Sybil ialah jururawat terlatih terus membantu suaminya merawat penduduk tempatan. Apabila beliau mempunyai masa lapang, beliau akan mendengar berita BBC di radio. Sybil akan mengongsi berita yang beliau dapat dengan rakan-rakan yang beliau percaya supaya mereka tidak tertipu dengan dakyah tentera Jepun. Pasangan suami isteri ini memberikan khidmat perubatan secara rahsia dan memberi maklumat kepada pasukan pejuang di sekitar Papan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Malangnya, aktiviti mereka diketahui oleh kempetai pada tahun 1943. Sybil dan suaminya ditahan dan dibawa ke Balai Polis Ipoh. Walaupun mereka diseksa oleh kempetai tetapi mereka enggan memberikan kerjasama. Akhirnya, polis rahsia mengikat Sybil dalam rumah musim panas dan membawa anak perempuannya bernama Dawn ke taman. Pihak kempetai mengugut akan membakar Dawn hidup-hidup namun ugutan itu gagal. Dawn menjerit kepada ibunya," Jangan beritahu, Mak. Saya sayang mak dan kita akan mati bersama-sama. "Sybil berkata kepada sarjan Jepun,"Saya selalu menyangka tentera Jepun pengecut. Baru saya tahu ia benar." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nasib menyebelahi mereka apabila seorang tentera Jepun berpangkat tinggi tiba dan mengarahkan Dawn dibebaskan. Sybil sempat menjerit "Hidup Malaya!" sebelum dipukul sehingga pengsan oleh sendri. Sybil ditahan di penjara Batu Gajah sementara suaminya dibawa ke Taiping. Selepas pemerintahan Jepun, Sybil diterbangkan ke London untuk rawatan susulan. Beliau menerima pingat George Medal untuk Gallantry daripada Raja George VI sebelum meninggal dunia pada Jun 12,1948. Jasad beliau dibawa semula ke Malaya untuk pengebumian dan dihadiri oleh ribuan hadirin. Beliau merupakan wanita yang berani pada ketika itu.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>SINGA, HARIMAU MALAYA</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gurchan Singa percaya beliau mempunyai umur panjang. Beliau hampir-hampir digigit oleh buaya ketika berusia kurang dari enam bulan. Ketika beliau berusia 7 tahun, beliau hampir lemas dan tiga tahun kemudian, beliau hampir memijak kabel eletrik yang masih mengalirkan elektrik. Pada tahun 1933, beliau terselamat setelah terjatuh dari c<span style="color: red;">erun</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>ketika mendaki Gunung Everest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix3.transformed.jpg" width="417" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gurchan berpindah ke Kuala Lumpur apabila Jepun menceroboh Malaya. Beliau diletakkan dalam senarai orang yang dikehendaki kerana beliau pernah menjadi polis inspektor. Bersama-sama dengan dua abangnya, mereka bertiga mencetak risalah memberitahu orang ramai supaya menentang Jepun. Beliau sentiasa menandatangani nama beliau sebagai <i>SINGA, the Lion</i>. Gurchan mengedarkan hasil kerja beliau ke seluruh Malaya dan berjaya daripada dikesan dengan menyembunyikan hasil tulisan beliau di dalam bingkai basikal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beberapa lama kemudian, pihak kempetai menyelongkar rumah beliau dan memusnahkan mesin pencetak dan stok kertas. Seorang pengawal ditempatkan untuk menangkap Gurchan. Apabila Gurchan mendapat peluang, beliau memukul pengawal tersebut dan berjaya melarikan diri. Sebagai menunjukkan semangat beliau, beliau menulis 28 keping risalah dengan tangan dan menampalnya di sekitar bandar pada malam itu juga.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini membuatkan pihak Jepun menjadi marah. Mereka menggeledah rumah beliau dan menyeksa anggota keluarga beliau dan membunuh dua ekor anjing peliharaannya. Gurchan mengambil keputusan menyelamatkan diri dengan berlari ke Burma yang dikuasai oleh pihak Bersekutu bersama-sama dengan kawan-kawannya iaitu Bala, Kitchey dan Bul. Memanggil diri mereka sebagai <i>the Four Musketeers, </i>mereka menyerang keretapi yang membawa petrol ke sempadan Siam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sebelum Gurchan sampai ke distinasi beliau, perang telah berakhir., Beliau kemudian dilantik sebagai ketua pegawai keselamatan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Gurchan Singh meninggal dunia kerana terlibat dalam kemalangan jalan raya di Johor pada tahun 1965.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>ANGKATAN 136: BERSEDIA UNTUK PULANG</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lim Bo Seng ialah ahli perniagaan yang berjaya apabila beliau mengambil keputusan mempertahankan Malaya daripada serangan Jepun. Beliau menyedari pihak kempetai akan mencarinya dan pihak British menasihatkan beliau agar mencari perlindungan di India. Isteri beliau, Gan Choo Neo tinggal di Singapura untuk menjaga anak kecil mereka.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Di India, Lim membantu melatih ratusan agen rahsia untuk pasukan gerilla Sino-British yang dinamakan Angkatan 136. Pihak British merancang Operasi Gustavus untuk menghantar agen mereka kembali ke Malaya dan membantu pejuang tempatan. Lim dan pasukannya tiba di perairan Teluk Anson untuk menaiki kapal selam Belanda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img height="640" src="https://assets.nst.com.my/images/articles/120217LTpg14pix5.transformed.jpg" width="429" /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beliau mengembara dengan menggunakan nama samaran bagi mengelak menimbulkan syak kempetai. Bersama-sama dengan Kapten John Davis dan Major Freddie Spencer Chapman, Lim dapat berhubung dengan Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army termasuk Chin Peng dan Lai Teck. Beliau berjaya menyakinkan pejuang gerilla agar mengikut arahan British sebagai ganti mendapat bekalan senjata, latihan dan bahan keperluan lain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Operasi Gustavus menemui kegagalan apabila seorang pejuang gerilla yang menyamar sebagai nelayan di Pulau Pangkor memberitahu tentera Jepun. Lim ditangkap di Gopeng ketika pemeriksaan jalan raya. Beliau dibawa ke ibu pejabat kempetei Ipoh. Walaupun beliau diseksa teruk, beliau tidak mendedahkan sebarang maklumat mengenai Angkatan 136.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lim Bo Seng meninggal dunia akibat disentari dan dikebumikan di kubur yang tidak bertanda di luar penjara Batu Gajah. Setelah Jepun menyerah kalah, balunya membawa jasadnya kembali ke Singapura dan dikebumikan dengan penuh kehormatan tentera di bukit di takungan MacRitchie.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Belanja ikut keperluan</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Peningkatan harga minyak dan barang menyebabkan kos sara hidup turut mengalami peningkatan. Jika dahulu sekampit beras lima kilogram dijual dengan harga kurang daripada RM10.00, tetapi kini ia mengalami peningkatan antara sekali hingga dua kali ganda daripada harga asal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini menyebabkan ramai yang tidak mampu mengimbangi perbelanjaan sehingga berdepan dengan krisis kewangan. Mneyedari perkara ini, Persatuan Keselamatan Pengguna Kuala Lumpur ingin berkongsi sedikit panduan bagaimana untuk berjimat:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Senaraikan dahulu barangan yang diperlukan dan berbelanja berdasarkan keperluan bukannya kehendak. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini akan membantu anda untuk mengoptimumkan lagi penggunaan wang dan mengelakkan pembaziran. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Hobi membaca merupakan hobi yang bagus, namun tidak semestinya anda perlu membeli semua majalah atau buku yang diminati pada setiap bulan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anda boleh berkongsi majalah dan bahan bacaan lain dengan rakan-rakan atau bergilir-gilir membelinya bagi menjimatkan perbelanjaan. Selain itu, anda boleh membaca buku kegemaran anda di perpustakaan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Berbual di telefon sememangnya satu perkara yang mengasyikkan sehinggakan rama yang lupa diri sehingga bil melebihi bajet yang ditetapkan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ringkaskan perbualan anda atau berikan keutamaan pada penggunaan Sistem Pesanan Ringkas (SMS). Bagi anda yang mempunyai internet gunakan Yahoo! Messenger sebagai alternatif untuk berhubung bagi menggantikan telefon.perbelanjaan anda, aliran wang ke luar negara juga boleh dikurangkan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Jika dahulu anda gemar melancong ke luar negara, sekarang lebih baik habiskan percutina anda di dalam negara sahaja bagi menjimatkan perbelanjaan anda, aliran wang ke luar negera juga boleh dikurangkan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Pakej saluran pelbagai yang ditawarkan oleh pelbagai stesen televisyen berbayar sememangnya menarik. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tetapi fikirkan adakah semua saluran yang ditawarkan tersebut akan ditonton oleh anda. Sebelum memilih saluran yang diinginkan, fikirkan terlebih dahulu akan penggunaannya. Jika masa anda sering dihabiskan di luar rumah, jangan langgan pakej yang tidak anda tonton. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Ketika berbelanja ramai yang lupa diri sehingga tidak sedar wang yang dibawa tidak mencukupi. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Justeru, kad kredit digunakan sebagai jalan penyelesaian sehingga memberi impak yang besar kepada bajet bulanan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oleh itu, elakkan belian secara kredit dan amalkan belian tunai. Pendek kata, ukur baju di badan sendiri.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Bawa bekalan dari rumah ke pejabat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ia bukan sahaja menjimatkan malahan kebersihannya dan khasiatnya lebih terjamin. Jika mahu keluar membeli-belah pastikan anda menjamah makanan di rumah terlebih dahulu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Jika dahulu anda gemar membeli barangan berjenama dan mewah, kini tumpuan pembelian anda pada barangan tempatan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cuba kikis anggapan bahawa barangan tempatan tidak berkualiti daripada minda anda. Barangan tempatan bukan sahaja setanding dengan produk import malahan harganya lebih murah. Ubah tabiat berbelanja dariapda sekarang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Amalkan menyemak kandungan bil-bil utiliti anda seperti bil telefon, air, elektrik, internet dan sebagainya pada setiap bulan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10. Biarpun ia merupakan tanggungan bulanan anda tetapi semak terlebih dahulu semua bil sebelum membuat pembayaran kerana dikhuatiri terdapat kesilapan atau caj yang tidak disedari.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sentiasa pekan terhadap aliran wang keluar pada setiap bulan dengan merekodkan setiap perbelanjaan harian anda. Sediakan buku kecil untuk merekodkan perbelanjaan anda dan semak pada setiap hujung bulan pengaliran wang anda. Melalui cara ini, anda dapat mengenal pasti sama ada anda boros atau tidak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><b>Spend within means</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The rising cost of petrol price and other things causing cost of living increasing, too. Previously, a bag of rice cost less than RM10.00 but now the price has risen one or twice times more from the normal price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This makes many people unable to balance expenditure and facing financial crisis. Realising this, <span style="color: red;">Pesatuan Keselamatan Pengguna Kuala Lumpur</span><span style="color: red;"> </span>wished to share a few tips on how save:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. First, list of the things you need and spend based on necessity and do not spend on needs. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Reading is a good hobby but it doesn't mean that you have to buy all your favorite magazines or books every month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You could share magazines or other reading materials with friends or take turn to buy them to save cost. You can read your favorite books in library.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Talking in the phone is very engrossing<span style="color: orange;"> </span>that could land you in bill exceeding budget. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keep your conversation short or priortize to short message text (SMS). For those who have internet, use Yahoo! Messenger as an alternative to communicate to replace telephone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Previously, if you love to travel oversea, now it's better to spend your holiday in Malaysia to save cost and reduce money outflow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. There are many television station offering numerous interesting packages. But, think, are you going to watch all the channels offered? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before choosing desired channel, think first about the usage. If your time is mostly spend outside, do not take package that you don't watch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Many tend to spend before realising shortage of cash and use credit card as a solution that gives huge impact in your monthly budget. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Try to avoid credit purchase and practice using cash. In other words, spend within your means.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Bring food from home to office. Not only this practice saves your money, it also guarantees cleanliness and more nutrient. If you want to go for shopping, make sure you eat something before you leave. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">8. If you love to buy branded and luxury goods, now you paying </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">attention on local products. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Try to change your perception that local brand is not quality from your mind. Local products are same level with imported products. Change your way of spending from now on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Practice to check the content of your uilities bills such as telephone bill, water bill, electric bill, internet bill and other bills every month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10. Even though its your monthly payment but check first all your bills before making payment, should there might be some error or unrealized charge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Always be aware of every moeny outflow by recording your daily spending. Keep a small notebook to record your spending and check it at the end of every month. This way you could detect whether your are spending more or not.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">RANCANG PERCUTIAN LEBIH AWAL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Musim cuti sudah tiba lagi. Anda tidak ke mana-mana? Mungkin ada yang mahu membawa anak pulang ke kampung halaman berjumpa nenek dan datuknya. Mungkin ada yang hanya memerap di rumah. Mungkin juga ada yang memenuhkan cuti sekolah ini dengan menghantar anak mereka menjalani kursus motivasi atau perkhemahan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mungkin ada tidak mempunyai perancangan langsung, manakala sebahagian yang lain barangkali mencongak mahu membawa anak bercuti.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Walau apa pun pilihan anda, terpulang kepada cita rasa dan bajet masing-masing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tidak bermakna cuti panjang anak anda dipersiakan begitu saja seandainya diisikan dengan banyak aktiviti lain yang berfaedah walaupun anda berada di rumah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Namun, kepada yang ingin membawa anak melancong, sama ada dalam atau luar negara, ada beberapa tip yang boleh dikongsi bersama.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pertama, rancang percutian anda terlebih dahulu. Sebaiknya, sebelum pergi bercuti, rancang dahulu percutian walaupun kita hanya mempunyai masa seminggu untuk merancangnya. Ke mana kita mahu bercuti? Cuti bagaimana yang kita mahu? Apa konsepnya, untuk riadah atau berbentuk ringkas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kedua, sediakan bajet. Jika kita melancong menggunakan agensi pelancongan, sekurang-kurangnya 90 peratus daripada perbelanjaan melancong kita sudah dibayar terlebih dahulu. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jika kita melancong secara ala carte, sediakan perangkaan dan jangkaan jumlah wang yang kita perlukan bagi menampung semua kos penginapan, perjalanan, makanan, kos lawatan dan membeli belah.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ketiga, fahamkan anak terhadap nilai wang. Ini juga amat perlu untuk kita tekankan terutama kepada anak yang sedang membesar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Terangkan kepada mereka kita bercuti di dlam bajet terhad. Pemberitahuan awal, ia membantu mereka memahami dan tidak meminta dibelikan sesuatu di luar dugaan kita sewaktu bercuti.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini juga dapat mengelakkan rasa hampa daripada bertapak di dalam pemikiran anak kita itu. Kita tentunya tidak mahu anak kita bermasam muka, meskipun baru balik dari bercuti di luar negara.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Keempat, rancang aktiviti membeli-belah. Kawal perasaan. Sediakan senarai pendek apa yang mahu kita cari setibanya di destinasi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kelima, rancang pembelian cenderahati. Yang ini juga perlu kita titik beratkan smaa. Bagi sahabat, rasanya sekadar ingatan kita sudah mencukupi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ketujuh, pastikan anda ada lebihan tunai sekembalinya dari bercuti. Elakkan senario pulang dari bercuti, kantung kosong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kelapan, gunakan khidmat agensi pelancongan. Ini adalah satu pilihan terbaik untuk kita menjimatkan belanja. Meskipun melancong dengan menggunakan khidmat agensi pelancongan ini kita tertakluk kepada jadual yang tersedia, tetapi ini adalah lebih baik daripada melancong secara ala carte unutk mengunjungi tempat yang tidak pernah kita sampai sebelum ini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kesembilan, buah bedah siasat untuk percutian anda. Perkara ini juga adalah penting sebenarnya. Sekiranya untuk percutian kali ini anda tidak sempat untuk merancang seperti di atas, anda boleh saja menggunakannya di percutian anda yang akan datang. Selamat bercuti.</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">PLAN EARLY FOR VACATION</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Holiday season is here. You are not going anywhere? Perhaps you would like to bring your children to visit their grandparents. Perhaps you just want to stay at home. Perhaps you want to send your children to motivational camp or camping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe you didn't plan at all or others still figuring to do so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whatever your choice is, it depends on your taste and budget.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It doesn't mean that long vacation of your children will be wasted if doing activities from home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those who wished to take their children for vacation, here are a few tips :-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, plan your vacation. The best is before going for vacation even if you only have one week to plan. Your destination? What kind of vacation we want? What is the concept, to relax or just a simple vacation?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Second, prepare a budget. If we are going with travel agency, we already paid 90% of travelling cost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If we are travelling ala carte, prepare a figure and forecast how much we need for lodging, travelling, food, visiting cost and shopping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Third, educate your children about the value of money. This is important aspect especially to our growing children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Explain to them that we are on vacation with limited budget. This helps them to understand and won't ask anything extraordinary during vacation. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This also can avoid the feeling of disappointment in our children mind. Surely we want to avoid the sour face in our children even though we are just back from vacation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fourth, plan for shopping activities. Control your emotions. Prepare a short list of what we want when we arrive in our destination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fifth, plan on buying sourveine. This is important. For friends, it's enough of thinking of them. So, the price of <span style="color: red;">sourviner</span> is not important to them, so buy at an ideal price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Six, use credit card with smart. This is our obvious weakness. We don't have to use cash during shopping, so we might suffer from sadness after enjoy syndrom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seven, make sure you have extra cash when coming back from vacation. Avoid empty pocket scenario.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eight, use travel agency service. It's a good choice to save. Even though using travel agency is restricted to their schedule but it's better to compared to ala carte travel to new destination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nine, do a post mortem of your vacation. This is important. If you are unable to plan as above for this trip, you can use these tips for next trip. Enjoy your vacation.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Natural ways to confident curves</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Poor diet, a lack of exercise and our increasingly sedentary way of life are primary contributors to the rise of obesity in our country. Besides the negative health impact, being overweight can affect our life in other ways such as by distorting our outlook on life and destroying our self-confidence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While diet and exercise are recommend methods to shed the pounds, there are various ways to manage weight issues, including dietary supplements.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The key to ideal weight is to aim to be healthy and strong instead of being thin. More women today are embracing their beautiful curves. In effect, it makes them feel good internally, thus boosting their self-esteem and confidence levels.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those who need a little help in getting started on managing their weight, Garcinia or more specifically the hydroxycitric acid (HCA) extracted from the Garnicia Cambogia tropical fruit, is a widely recognised natural product used in tackling obesity and aiding in weight management. Used for centuries throughout Asia for culinary purposes, generally as a condiment and flavouring agent (usually as a subsitute for tamarind or lemon), it is also known to make one feel satiated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fat stored in the body is a by-product of unused energy or glucose which has been converted by particular enzymes. What HCA (extracted from Garcinia) does is :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It blocks these enzymes and prevents the formation of fat deposits</span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The body then works to burn the fat cells by breaking down their protective proteins known as perilipin, thus increasing metabolism.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">HCA also increases the release of serotonin in the brain and influences the neuropeptide Y function, thereby suppressing appetite and the desire to binge-eat</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hence, HCA from Garcinia is beneficial in reducing visceral fat (the fat stored within the abdomen or around a number of important internal organs) and subcutaneous fat (the fat that is stored just under our skin). HCA also helps cut down belly fat, waist and hip circumference. Along with lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides, HCA also increases HDL (good cholesterol).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bagi mereka yang memerlukan bantuan untuk memulakan proses menguruskan berat badan, Garcinia atau lebih tepat asid hidroksitrik (HCA) yang dikeluarkan daripada buah tropikal Garcinia Cambogia banyak digunakan dalam produk asli bagi menangani obesiti dan membantu dalam menguruskan berat badan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Di Asia. buah ini telah digunakan dalam masakan sebagai perasa dan sebagai agen pewarna (biasanya buah ini digunakan sebagai bahan ganti untuk asam atau buah limau) berkurun lamanya. Buah ini juga dikenali akan membuatkan seseorang berasa amat kenyang atau rasa muak.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lemak yang tersimpan dalam badan merupakan keluaran sampingan bagi tenaga yang tidak digunakan atau glukosa yang telah ditukar oleh enzim tertentu. Apakah maksud HCA (diekstra daripada Garcinia)?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ia menyekat enzim ini dan menghalang pembentukan simpanan lemak.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Seterusnya, badan akan bekerja untuk membakar sel lemak dengan memecahkan protein lindungan yang dikenali sebagai perilipin dan meningkatkan metabolisim</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">HCA juga meningkatkan pelepasan serotonin dalam otak dan mempengaruh fungsi neuropeptide Y yang mengurangkan nafsu makan banyak. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jadi, HCA daripada buah Garcinia sangat bermanfaat dalam mengurangkan lemak <i>visceral</i> (lemak yang disimpan dalam bahagian abdomen atau pada beberapa bahagian penting dalam organ dalaman) dan lemak <i>subcutaneous</i> (lemak yang tersimpan di bahagian bawah kulit kita). HCA turut membantu mengurangkan lilitan lemak perut, lemak pinggang dan lemak pinggul. Buah ini turut mengurangkan LDL (kolesterol bahaya) dan triglycerides dan meningkatkan HDL (kolesterol baik).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Perbelanjaan untuk majlis perkahwinan memang besar terutama jika semua acara dibuat dengan penuh eksklusif. Rata-rata pasangan kini lebih bersikap terbuka dan memahami keadaan kewangan serta ekonomi cukup membimbangkan ketika ini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Antara langkah yang diambil adalah merancang perkahwinan dengan kos yang minimum.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan memilih hari minggu. Ia kedengaran agak janggal untuk membuat majlis pada hari biasa tetapi ia berguna untuk anda. Sebagai contoh hari Jumaat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan juga memilih bulan yang kebiasaannya menjadi pilihan seperti cuti sekolah pada pertengahan atau akhir tahun. Ini dikhuatiri kos sewa tempat perkahwinan pada musim puncak akan meningkat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>2. Lokasi</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pilih lokasi yang tersedia di hias tanpa anda perlu berbelanja lebih bagi tujuan dekorasi. Sebagai contoh dewan berkaca. Hanya hiasan ringkas diperlukan kerana anda dikelilingi pemandangan luar sama ada seperti bangunan tinggi atau tumbuh-tumbuhan melingkar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>3. Majlis</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Banyak pasangan berhabisan untuk makanan mewah, muzik, pengacara majlis, solekan dan pelbagai elemen lagi. Ini semua semata-mata untuk memuaskan hati tetamu. Apa kata raikan tetamu dengan jamuan ikut kemampuan anda, ia juga dapat mengelakkan pembaziran.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ramai yang gemar menyediakan manisan atau makanan tambahan sebagai tambahan dan juga ia tampak menarik di dalam gambar. Jika membuat tempahan kok mewah yang cantik atau kek cawan ia mahal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cari alternatif dengan menyediakan manisan yang tidak terlalu mahal, anda boleh membuatnya sendiri, tempah kuih tradisional atau hanya sediakan dua jenis manisan dalam kuantiti besar. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Choose a beautiful location without you spending more for decoration. For example, a glass hall where it only needed a little touch because you are surrounded by an amazing view like high rise building or plants. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>PILIH BEG TANGAN</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Memilih beg tangan untuk digayakan pada majlis tertentu boleh memeningkan kepala. Takut tersalah pilih, bahkan akan dicemuh oleh rakan lain dan penampilan jadi serba tidak kena. Berikut panduan memilih beg tangan yang sesuai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>KECIL DAN BERKILAT</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Beg tangan jenis ini memang sesuai digayakan pada waktu malam dan dipadankan dengan pakaian yang menyerlahkan gaya seseorang itu agar nampak anggun dan cantik ketika ke majlis formal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>BADAN SAIZ BESAR</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mereka yang berbadan besar dan gemuk lebih sesuai menggayakan beg tangan yang sederhana besar dan ringkas coraknya. Jangan sesekali memilih yang beropol-opol dan terlalu banyak kocek atau hiasan kerana akan membuatkan penampilan kelihatan berserabut serta tidak kemas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>BEG KECIL</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Jika anda terlalu gemar menggayakan beg bertali kecil ketika bertugas. Pastikan anda ada beg lain yang lebih besar untuk menyimpan dokumen kerja yang penting atau bahan perbincangan di dalam beg bimbit. Ini akan membuatkan anda nampak profesional seterusnya memudahkan anda membawa dokumen ke mana juga.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>BADAN SAIZ KECIL</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Elakkan memakai beg besar seandainya badan anda bersaiz kecil. Walaupun memang menjadi ikutan anak muda kini memilih beg tangan besar, cuba elakkan hal itu terjadi kepada diri anda tetapi cukuplah sekadar yang mempunyai saiz sederhana. Jika tidak anda mungkin disalah anggap ingin balik kampung dengan beg sebesar itu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>BEG KULIT</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ia sesuai digayakan ketika anda sedang bertugas di pejabat terutama bagi yang menyandang jawatan penting dalam syarikat atau berada di dunia korporat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>ELAK WARNA TERANG</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cuba elak memakai beg tangan yang mempunyai warna yang terang seperti biru terang, kuning kunyit dan hijau serindit ketika memulakan tugas di pejabat. Pilihlah warna yang semula jadi dan sedap mata memandang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>CHOOSE A HANDBAG</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Choosing a suitable handbag for special function can be a headache.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If wrongly chosen, will be ridiculed by friends and spoil our appearance. Below are how to choose a suitable handbag.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">SMALL AND SHINING</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This type of beg is suitable for formal night function and matches with outfit that brings out the wearers to look elegant and beautiful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>BIG BODY FRAME</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those who are big in size and fat are suitable with medium size and simple design handbag. Don't choose handbag with too many pockets and decoration. This is because it could spoil your appearance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>SMALL BAG</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you love small strip bags when you are working, make sure you have a bigger bag to keep important documents or discussion materials. This will make you look professional and easy to carry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>SMALL BODY FRAME</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Avoid using big sized bag if your body is small frame even if its the latest fashion. Try to avoid that by choosing medium sized beg. If not, you'll be giving impression that you are going away for a while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>LEATHER BAG</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This bag is suitable for those holding important position in a company or in an corporate world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>AVOID BRIGHT COLORS</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Try to avoid bag with bright colors such as bright blue, bright yellow or striking green. Choose natural and pleasant color</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Majlis kahwin boros undang perceraian</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kajian dapati kos tinggi sia-sia jika hubungan tidak kekal</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Majlis perkahwinan dengan kos perbelanjaan menelan beratus ribu, sememangnya tindakan sia-sia jika hubungan perkahwinan itu berlangsung sekerat jalan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Satu kajian dijalankan di Universiti Emory, Georgia, United States, mendapati membelanjakan sejumlah wang dalam kuantiti besar sebenarnya berkait rapat dengan kadar perceraian lebih tinggi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kajian ini mendapati, jika perkahwinan menelan belanja sekitar RM88, 560 ke atas, wanita lebih tiga kali ganda cenderung untuk bercerai.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dalam erti kata lain, mereka yang menjalani perkahwinan boros ini dikatakan lebih memberi tumpuan kepada material, berbanding persiapan mengemudi rumah tangga.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Justeru, apabila seseorang merancang hari besar mereka, ia maungkin lebih baik untuk memberi tumpuan untuk memberi tumpuan kepada makna perkahwinan dan bukannya mengarahkan semua tumpuan untuk mencapai matlamat perkahwinan impian.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dalam jangka masa panjang, kualiti perkahwinan dan hubungan kekal adalah perkara penting dan bukan jumlah wang yang dibelanjakan cuma dalam masa sehari. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Terlalu memasang impian</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Persoalannya, mengapa masyarakat kita terlalu menekankan dan memberi tumpuan kepada pengantin perempuan dalam sesuatu perkahwinan berbanding makna perkahwinan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lantaran itu, impian dipasang setiap pengantin perempuan ini menyebabkan kos perbelanjaan menjadi mahal menerusi pakej perkahwinan yang diinginkan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Contohnya, busana, pelamin, cenderahati dan dewan mewah atau hotel bertaraf lima bintang yang diimpikan menjadi lokasi perkahwinan.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kebanyakan mempelai wanita mahu hari perkahwinan menjadi hari paling sempurna dalam kehidupan mereka dan memegang prinsip kahwin sekali seumur hidup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kaji selidik dijalankan <i>The Knot's Real Weddings</i>, turut mendapati, purata kos bagi satu perkahwinan di Amerika mencecah RM138,000 sejak kebelakangan ini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ini adalah satu jumlah besar untuk satu majlis. Tambahan pula, wang ini dilabur untuk majlis perkahwinan dan bukan boleh dimanfaatkan seumur hidup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">Study shows that high cost is a waste if the relationship didn't last</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wedding reception with hundreds of thousand is a waste if the marriage didn't last.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A study conducted at Emory University, Georgia, United States found that high spending in wedding is associated with high divorce rate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The study showed that if the wedding costs exceeds RM88,560, rate of women seeking for divorce is three times higher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In other words, those who organizing extravagant wedding is said to be concentrating on material issues rather than staying marriage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Therefore, it's better to concentrate on the meaning of marriage when planning their big day and not to achieve their dream wedding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In long term, it's the quality of marriage and relationship are important and not how much money spent in a day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Big dream</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The question is why is our society prioritizing the bride than the meaning of marriage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Brides dream big for their wedding causing the wedding cost to be high with desired wedding package.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For example, wedding apparel, dais, gift and luxury hall or five star hotel are dreamt as wedding location.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many brides want their wedding day to be the most perfect day of their life while holding to the principle the it's once in a lifetime. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A study conducted by The Knot's Real Wedding found that, recently an average cost for a wedding in America is about RM138,000. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a huge amount for a function. Move over, the money is invested in a wedding and not life time beneficial.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tips to save wedding cost</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PROTON</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Sesiapa yang mengutuk kenderaan Proton, saya cadangkan agar teruskan mengutuk kerana tahap kenderaan Proton tidak sama dengan tahap kenderaan dari luar negara.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Saya cadangkan kepada mereka cuba uji pandu kenderaan Saga dan Persona terbaharu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Saya pernah pandu kereta buatan Korea pada tahun 80-an dan kereta terbaharu dan terdapat perbezaan ketara.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Saya dapati terdapat banyak perbezaan antara kereta Proton lama dan kereta Proton baharu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Saya fikir pihak pengurusan, jurutera dan pekerja di Proton harus diberikan pujian untuk penambah baikan ini.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Jika anda tidak bersetuju dengan saya, tidak mengapa tetapi saya memiliki dan memandu kereta Proton lama dan miliki kereta Proton baharu. Saya rasa Proton telah mempelajari perkara baharu mengenai pembuatan kereta.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Secara jujur, Malaysia akan menjadi lebih baik jika kekal dalam koloni Eropah atau negara maju lain. Mereka lebih arif mengenai pengurusan negara dan pembangunan negara. Dan, mereka akan menghasilkan kereta yang lebih baik, membuatkan kita bangga dengan teknologi kita.</span></div>

Teratai Melurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00108392833108817128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685975766234475640.post-54872686030880775992017-02-21T16:49:00.002-08:002017-02-21T16:49:16.801-08:00<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>PROTON</b></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. Saya merasa sedih kerana Proton akan dijual kepada syarikat asing. Mempunyai rakan strategik memang bagus tetapi apabila Proton telah dijual kepada orang asing, ia tidak lagi menjadi kereta nasional, ia akan menjadi menghasilkan kereta asing di Malaysia seperti yang kita pernah hasilkan sejak 1970-an lagi.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. Mungkin, sekarang Proton tidak untung lagi tetapi Proton pernah memberikan keuntungan besar sebelum ini. Diakui, Proton dilindungi tetapi setelah Proton dapat berdiri sendiri, Proton tetap memberikan keuntungan. Semua negara melindungi industri automotif mereka. Mungkin cara yang digunakan bukan menerusi duti import yang tinggi tetapi menggunakan cara berbeza bagi menghalang kereta import mencabar industri kereta tempatan. Ini termasuk terdapat cara yang lebih efektif dan dapat menangani kereta buatan asing. Sebab inilah, Proton tidak dapat dieksport ke negara yang mengamalkan polisi ini. Kita amat pemurah. Sesiapa pun boleh mengeksport kereta negara mereka ke negara ini. Kereta sub-standard pun boleh diimport.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. Saya tidak lagi bersama Proton. Sejak itu, saya tidak dibenarkan berjumpa atau bercakap atau menelefon pekerja Proton.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. Tak mengapa.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">5. Saya cuma takut jika Malaysia tidak lagi memiliki Proton, industri automotif Malaysia akan mengalami kerugian besar.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">6. Pihak vendor dan pihak pembekal akan tutup kedai. Ramai pekerja akan kehilangan kerja. Dan, kepakaran kejuruteraan Malaysia akan dikurangkan. Malaysia tidak mungkin tidak boleh menjadi negara maju menjelang 2020 atau selepas 2020. Malaysia akan kekal menjadi negara membangun dunia ketiga.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">7. Pada suatu dahulu, Malaysia pernah digelar Harimau Asian, kini Malaysia tidak boleh menjadi anak kucing. Kita telah menjadi salah satu negara dalam 10 negara paling tinggi mengamalkan rasuah.</span></div>
