From MSN: http://news.malaysia.msn.com/regional/arti...umentid=4757645 Malaysia No.1 in English in Asia Malaysia boleh! Although there's much (deserved) grumbling about their national English standards, it happens that They're actually in the first spot for English proficiency in the Asia region for countries where English is not the mother tongue. Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - South Korea ranked third out of Asian nations according to an English Proficiency Index announced on March 30 by Education First, a global education center. Go here for the full rankings: http://www.ef.com/epi/ef-epi-ranking/. (No mention of Singapore, kind of strange here..could they have grouped Singapore under Malaysia?) Korea, with an overall ranking of 13th, overtook Japan (at 14th) and Taiwan at (25th). From 2007 to 2009, Education First conducted online English tests on 2.3 million working adults all from over the world. English proficiency was tested in four categories - grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening. Among Asian countries, Korea's 54.19 points followed only Malaysia (9th) with 55.54 points and Hong Kong (12th) with 54.44 points. Koreans' English proficiency can be considered relatively high considering that Korea's official language is not English. Malaysia and Hong Kong, however, use English as one of their official languages. The overall English proficiency of an average Korean adult also rated above average." South Korea placed among the top tier nations by ranking 13 out of 44 non-native countries. English education is important in Korea, Education First says, citing Korea's efforts to promote early English education in public schools and the emphasis on English education in private education. In Asia's case, the gap between nations in English proficiency was largely affected by the level of political stability and economic power of the country as well as the educational zeal of the people. Overall English ability was highest in Northern European countries such as Norway, the Netherlands and Denmark, with Sweden and Finland following closely behind. In places where the public education system is relatively weak, the English proficiency of the people also rated poorly. Argentina, ranking 16th in total, scored highest among Central and South American nations with 53.49 points. Regards,

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) -

Today, was behind a red boleh land car with car plate JEC 8580 @ about 530pm today, Bukit Batok, road near Caltex petrol station. The red boleh land car was a hatch back, slightly smaller than a Cherry QQ. Filled with boleh land young orangs, some wearing caps in a "fashionable way" (i.e. the cap is just sitting on the head, wind blow will drop, those way). Driver window was down as the driver was smoking. Blardy driver flicked the cigarette butt onto the road after finishing. These monkeys come into Singapore driving their boleh land car and dirty our roads. Real iddiots. If Police or LTA want to charge these monkeys @ the checkpoint when they departing, I will be witness. Nail those monkeys !

http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/22142/84/ wow... i'm really impressed with Raja Petra Kamarudin's level of ethics. *respect* have a look at his sincere apology that he wrote on his blog... He is a member of the Selangor Royal family and recently his son Raja Azman in his 30s was charged in court and pleaded guilty to charges of theft and robbery. " I made it very clear there would be no negotiations. How can I agree to bribing police officers to get my son off the hook after speaking out against crime, corruption, abuse of power and cover-ups of criminal acts by those who walk in the corridors of power? NO HOLDS BARRED Raja Petra Kamarudin I offer no excuses. My wife, Marina, and I have five children, all now grown up. Four have made a life for themselves -- two are now married and have blessed us with four grandchildren. One, Raja Azman, left home when he was still in lower secondary school and chose to end all ties with the family. That was about 18 years ago or so. Since he left home, he has been in and out of trouble, the result of living on the streets and sleeping in the back alleys of Kuala Lumpur. Invariably, life on the streets like an urchin turned him into what he is today. Muslims believe that heaven lies beneath the feet of one

If in sg, even polis will say, 'please take a civil suit'....there....wohoooo!!! Couple saved from snatch theft in Johor Strangers accost and attack thief who tried to grab woman's handbag By Cheryl Ong Ms Benette Tan and her husband Francis Tham sustained cuts and bruises from the incident at a Johor Baru car wash. -- ST PHOTO: NURIA LING ROUGH justice saved a Singaporean couple from falling victim to a snatch thief outside a Johor Bahru car wash on Tuesday morning. A dozen or so strangers came to their rescue, when a man on a motorcycle tried to grab Ms Benette Tan's handbag as she was waiting for her car to be washed. Ms Tan, a sales consultant, was by the side of the road outside the car wash when she felt a tug on her arm. She looked down and was shocked to see a man on a motorbike trying to pull her handbag free. The tug-of-war lasted no more than a few seconds before Ms Tan, 37, lost her balance and fell forward on the floor. Seeing the struggle, her businessman husband Francis Tham, who was a short distance away, ran with his arms wide to block the snatch thief and stop him from getting away. The slow-moving bike hit him and sent Mr Tham, 44, sprawling. At that moment, a car wash attendant stepped forward and shoved the thief off his two-wheeler. The thief tried to escape on foot, but his run with bad luck continued. He ran straight into the path of a reversing truck and was knocked to the ground. While the man lay stunned, said Ms Tan, some 10 bystanders emerged, grabbed hold of him and started raining punches on him. 'I even saw an uncle use his bike helmet to hit the thief. Everyone just went crazy,' said Ms Tan. She said the thief insisted he was innocent, even after he was dragged before her and she identified him as the man who had tried to steal her handbag. It contained her mobile phones, passport and RM100 (S$42). Bleeding and injured, the man was taken away by police officers who arrived 30 minutes later. The attempted snatch theft was a nasty surprise for the couple, who visit Johor twice a month to shop and eat. They had planned to spend just the morning there, but it was nearly night before they were able to leave. Ms Tan had scrapes and bruises on her knees and hands, while Mr Tham had cuts and bruises on his legs. Kind Malaysians drove the couple to a hospital for treatment and later to a police station. They consider themselves lucky. 'Thank God he didn't have a weapon or I won't be talking to you,' she said. Johor police said about 5,000 incidents of crime were reported in the state from January to March, compared with 6,106 cases in the same period last year. Tourists and women with handbags are popular targets of snatch thieves as they are considered easy prey. The experience has left Ms Tan shaken. She said she would not carry anything valuable in full view next time. 'I thought it was about being unlucky,' she said. 'I just didn't realise how common these cases are and that it could happen to me even if I were careful.' [email protected]

At about the NSH 200km mark..was happily travelling at about 140kmh on the right lane..when suddenly this Nissan X-Trail POLIS appeared on the left lane, he was hiding in front of a lorry, out of view. Immediately, he signaled me to pull over. Then the conversation goes as follow: He: Sir, you are travelling at 129kmh (o.O, it's 140 dude..i know he didn't have exact figure, but i know i am speeding, so no use hiding), may i see your license? Me: *Passed him my license* He: The fine will be RM300, you can pay at (some location which i didn't hear clearly, and never bother to find out) Me: Can i pay here? He: How much you want to pay? *returning my license to me* Me: 50 He: 100 lah, the fine is 300 Me: Lima Puluh lah..kasih chance lah..(he was surprised that i can speak malay) He: Ok lah Me: *hands over a RM50 note hidden under my license* then i ask him "di depan masih ada?"(whether in front still have onot) He: Tak ada Me: *winds up window and drive off* Afterwards, i ask my malaysian relatives..they say that most of the time, they gave the polis abt RM20-30 nia..they will still take it because it's better than nothing..

Malaysia's capital shows cracks On a hillside overlooking the grandiose administrative capital that Malaysia has built at vast expense, vacant lots marked with the names of dozens of countries lie empty. It's a diplomatic enclave without diplomats, embassies or limousines - and one of the most visible failures of Putrajaya, a multi-billion-dollar extravaganza of monumental avenues, lakes and dome-topped buildings. Putrajaya was the brainchild of former premier Mahathir Mohamad who ordered construction to begin on the site of an palm oil plantation in 1996, despite the economic firestorm that swept the region the following year. Mahathir, who turned Malaysia from a tropical backwater into one of Southeast Asia's biggest economies, was a fan of mega-projects including the Petronas Twin Towers, which was for a time the world's tallest building. The massive scale, cost and ambition of Putrajaya sets it apart as perhaps his biggest achievement, but less than a decade after it was unveiled, the cracks are beginning to show and Mahathir has joined the ranks of detractors. "At night it is deserted, because all it has are government offices. We want to see a living town," he said earlier this year, accusing his successor Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi of losing interest. "When I see broken tiles and broken pavements, I feel saddened," said Mahathir, who envisioned Putrajaya as a triumph of Islamic development, as well as relieving congestion in the overcrowded capital Kuala Lumpur. "If leaders don't take an interest, neither will minor officials." Kuala Lumpur lies 25 kilometres (15 miles) north, and clogged highways and poor public transport links make Putrajaya an often unpopular destination for those compelled to visit for business or bureaucracy. Most government ministries have relocated there, despite the grumbles of employees, but private business has been slow to follow despite government incentives and encouragement. Mahathir said that not enough has been done to attract the private sector, or the foreign missions that were supposed to occupy the diplomatic enclave that has already been established with access roads, shops and landscaping. Many countries have bought plots, but so far only the Iraqis have broken ground, and most diplomats have no intention of giving up their missions in central Kuala Lumpur, and their elegant colonial-era residences nearby. While those in Kuala Lumpur may sneer, Putrajaya's 60,000 residents are generally full of praise for their purpose-built town, with its clean air, wide boulevards and lush parks. Most are public servants who have been won over by subsidised housing, and facilities like shopping centres and cinemas that have gradually sprung up. "Initially everyone complained but now they are more comfortable as there are no traffic jams, not like in Kuala Lumpur," said education ministry employee Robiah Kamal, 33. "The facilities are very good - schools, nurseries and clinics - and you don't have to rush for everything," she said at the gleaming Alamanda shopping complex where office workers converge at lunchtime. Despite the pleasant surroundings and the topiary along the highways, critics of Putrajaya say it was a massive waste of money and that its architecture is grandiose and culturally inappropriate. The overwhelmingly Islamic-style buildings are out of place in a country which is dominated by Muslim Malays, but also home to large ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities, says architectural academic Mohamad Tajuddin. He criticises the magnificent lakeside mosque as being designed more for tourists than the faithful, and says the prime minister's office, a giant edifice topped with a green 'onion dome,' is downright arrogant. "Palatial is alright if you're a king who owns the country, but we are a democracy and we're supposed to be ruled by the people," he said. "If you want to go and see your leader, it should be easy to do so. If you want to pray, it should be easy to do so -- instead of creating a fortress-like atmosphere." A spate of problems at the grand Putrajaya ministries last year, including collapsing ceilings and a burst water pipe that inundated the immigration department, raised more questions. "I feel ashamed. These are new buildings and there are problems. There must be something wrong," Abdullah said at the time. Tajuddin argues Putrajaya should have been designed in sympathy with Malaysia's harsh sun and tropical storms, with shaded path and breezy verandas instead of baking hot avenues and expanses of paved plazas. "If you're going to have a kingdom designed to show opulence, it's going to be maintenance-intensive. Things are going to get broken very fast. Landscaping and flowers are all very expensive," he said. Samusudin Osman, president of the Putrajaya Corporation which runs the town, has heard all the complaints before and good-naturedly urges critics to be realistic. http://www.business24-7.ae/articles/...eaacefdfc.aspx

Bolehland TASI KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18, 2008 (AFP) - The ads promoting "Malaysia: Truly Asia" aim to welcome visitors with a warm smile to a prosperous and modern nation, so the taxi fleet branded "the worst in the world" can come as a bit of a shock. ADVERTISEMENT Even the locals are not spared the shabby service of unkempt and hostile drivers behind the wheels of decrepit vehicles who refuse to use the meter, overcharge and pick-and-choose which destinations they will travel to. At the popular KLCC mall under Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Twin Towers is a typical scene, as a gang of cabbies negotiate with a young Norwegian couple just metres from a signboard warning against "taxi touts". "Flat rate, flat rate, no metre," one driver insists as the tourists try to find a cab to take them to their hotel, less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) away. Anxious to escape the baking heat, they agree to pay 25 ringgit (7.22 dollars) for a trip that would have cost less than three ringgit on the meter. "Is it expensive? We don't know, we thought it is normal here," said the woman as they piled in with their shopping bags. More frequent visitors, however, are vocal in their criticism and say that aggressive and unprofessional drivers are tarnishing the nation's image as a squeaky clean and hospitable destination. "I first visited Malaysia in 2006 and I was impressed by everything I saw except for the worst taxi service I have endured," said Kabir Dali, an Indian tourist waiting in vain for a metered taxi at another mall. "I paid a whopping 260 ringgit (74 dollars) from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to town and was later told that was twice the proper amount." Complaints about taxis are common in many countries, but in Malaysia it has escalated to an outpouring of frustration, on blog sites and in letters to newspapers. In a survey by the local magazine The Expat, some 200 foreigners from 30 countries rated Malaysia the worst among 23 countries in terms of taxi quality, courtesy, availability and expertise. The respondents lashed the fleet as "a source of national shame" and "a serious threat to tourists -- rude bullies and extortionists". Salvation is in sight though, as a number of smaller, up-scale operators enter the market to provide a more expensive but quality taxi service for frustrated visitors and locals. The uniformed drivers, behind the wheels of smart new multi-purpose vehicles and sedans, switch on the meter as a matter of course and do not refuse destinations -- surprising and delighting commuters in the capital. Abdul Razak, operations manager for Dubai-based Citicab which launched here in January, said that even in poorer nations such as Thailand and Indonesia, taxis are smarter and the drivers far more courteous. "I would say it is the worst in this region, undoubtedly. I have travelled to all countries in this region and our company operates taxis in many parts of the world. The situation here is the worst I have seen," he told AFP. "The vehicles are in shabby condition, the driver will take you if he likes your face -- that is, if he agrees with where you want to go for the price he insists on." The government has called on taxi firms to lift their standards, but various campaigns have achieved little, and many blame the lack of enforcement on rampant corruption in the police and bureaucracy. "It is difficult for the roads and traffic department to take stern action," said a security officer at one city mall as he watched the touts swoop. "Taxi operators and the company which hold the licences are all linked to some politician or another," he said. "Drivers here are ruthless because they are unchecked by authorities who are almost non-existent." John Koldowski, from the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said that "less than desirable" taxi drivers have an outsize impact on a nation's image. "The first contact a tourist gets with locals is often during airport transits to hotels and it creates a very, very strong first impression, either be good or bad," he said. "Authorities certainly need to do their jobs and act upon any complaints strongly, quickly and visibly."

http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/...ory_259262.html July 19, 2008 Teacher, student hit with a hammer and spanner JOHOR BARU - STUDENTS watched in horror as their teacher and a classmate were repeatedly assaulted with a hammer and spanner during an examination in a classroom. The incident at a top Chinese school here resulted in the student and teacher suffering multiple head injuries. They were both rushed to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital for treatment. The attack is believed to have been sparked by a misunderstanding a few days ago when the victim allegedly called the assailant 'useless'. The drama unfolded at 1.30pm yesterday during a Chinese language exam for 50 Form Two students. The 17-year-old assailant, also a student at the school, rushed into the classroom armed with a small hammer and spanner and started hitting the 15-year-old victim on the head. The teacher, only known as Seng, said that she happened to be near the victim at that time and rushed to protect him when she was also hit with the hammer above her right eye. Seng said that she and her student were bleeding profusely. 'There was blood everywhere,' she said, adding that she ran to the discipline teacher's room to report the matter. Both Seng and the student received several stitches at the hospital. According to the injured student's cousin, electrician Lee Boon Huat, 44, the misunderstanding stemmed from a small argument between the victim and another boy. The student's parents declined to comment on the matter, saying that their son was now recovering from the attack. State CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Amer Awal confirmed the attack and that a Form Five student was handed over to the police by school authorities. -- NST ------------------------------
