Reconsider + Revise + Review the TPPA!

Malaysians esp rural people know less about this so-called TPP agreement between the Uncle Sam's country and few other countries.. wake up and don't be fooled by the negotiators.. Read more and do research before following what the negotiators want us to follow.. Keep on updating on this issues via this web/blogs: NajisTPPA; It's Our Future; Occupy TPPA; donttradeourlives and many more web/ blogs.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement

This agreement (if they are succeed) could have a huge effect in our everyday life esp to the middle to lower income people. The biggest damage will be in our economy, food safety & security, environment, health, investment, legal system, research & education.

Why they negotiate secretly and no public access towards the agreement?The negotiation itself is not proper and not acceptable. We live in a democracy, which means we have the right to know what is done in our name and to have a say.

TPPA Damages (from the NZ web)

If the negotiations are completed, the government will have a hard time to look after our environment, promote health, protect workers and consumers, and promote the public interest:

1. Most restrictions on foreign investment will be frozen and rolled back even further.
2. Big overseas companies will be able to sue the government for millions in damages in secretive offshore tribunals, claiming that new laws and regulations (for example, a ban on fracking, smoking control laws, or a cap on electricity prices) have seriously undermined the value of their investments.
3. Medicines will become more expensive as big pharmaceutical companies gain more influence over PHARMAC, and restrictions are placed on generic medicines.
4. Copyright laws will be toughened and more harshly enforced, restricting internet freedom and access to information, costing libraries, schools, and businesses, and stifling innovation.
5. Parallel importing will be banned, meaning that ordinary people, especially the poor, will have to pay far more for all sorts of ordinary products.
6. Foreign banks, insurance companies and money traders will gain more powers to challenge laws designed to prevent another financial crisis; and overseas property dealers could contest moves to burst the property bubble, such as a capital gains tax.

As for Malaysians, the same effects will be (from several references):

1. TPPA could also encourage increased export of raw materials which would inspire even more logging, forest clearing and mining, by removing export taxes.
2. The TPPA’s IP protection measures will also impact access to knowledge in the fields of culture, education, research and publication.
3. With the TPPA, access to affordable, life-saving medicines for millions of people is under threat as big pharmaceutical companies seek higher protections for their patents and clinical data and to make it harder for generic companies to produce affordable generic medicines.
4. The TPP may extend the duration of copyright beyond the present 50 years after the death of the author, which would impact on library digitization programmes, lead to removal of works already digitized from public access, restrict the re-use or use of out-of-copyright works; raise the prices of library materials; and lead to fewer purchase of works by libraries.
5. The TPP may make it harder for computer users to make even “buffer” (temporary) copies of documents; download music; and Internet Service Providers may be able to bar users from the Internet for violation of copyright.  ISPs are encouraged to implement measures like ‘three strikes’ after which users are barred from the internet for infringement offences.

So what will be the decision of Malaysia government? Will they just follow the negotiators? Will they decide to continue with the agreement? Will they reconsider and rethink of TPPA? Will they give full info and the effects of the agreement to the RAKYAT? 

Please do meet the Rakyat and explain what is the gov stand! This is NOT a secret anymore!

Where's the humanity?

I'm really really saddened by the news! Im sad that it happened in Sabah (Borneo), Malaysia! Im sad because these people who poisoned the elephants were so cruel and disgusting! Where's the humanity?

This handout photo taken and released by the Sabah Wildlife Department on Januray 29, 2013 shows a baby elephant staying close to a dead pygmy elephant in the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve, some 130 kilometers from Tawau in Malaysia's Sabah state. Ten endangered pygmy elephants have been found dead this month in Malaysian Borneo and are thought to have been poisoned, conservation officials said on January 29, 2013. Wildlife authorities in Sabah, a state on the eastern tip of the island, have formed a taskforce together with the police and WWF to investigate the deaths. AFP PHOTO / Sabah Wildlife Department

Anti McD

What is wrong with McDonalds?

• McDonald's promote their food as 'nutritious', but the reality is that it is junk food - high in fat, sugar and salt, and low in fibre and vitamins. A diet of this type is linked with a greater risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. Their food also contains many chemical additives, some of which may cause ill-health, and hyperactivity in children. Don't forget too that meat is the cause of the majority of food poisoning incidents.

• Workers in the fast food industry are paid low wages. McDonald's do not pay overtime rates even when employees work very long hours. Pressure to keep profits high and wage costs low results in understaffing, so staff have to work harder and faster. As a consequence, accidents (particularly burns) are common. The majority of employees are people who have few job options and so are forced to accept this exploitation, and they're compelled to 'smile' too! Not surprisingly staff turnover at McDonald's is high, making it virtually impossible to unionise and fight for a better deal, which suits McDonald's who have always been opposed to Unions.

• Vast areas of land in poor countries are used for cash crops or for cattle ranching, or to grow grain to feed animals to be eaten in the West. This is at the expense of local food needs. McDonald's continually promote meat products, encouraging people to eat meat more often, which wastes more and more food resources. 7 million tons of grain fed to livestock produces only 1 million tons of meat and by-products. On a plant-based diet and with land shared fairly, almost every region could be self-sufficient in food.

• Forests throughout the world - vital for all life - are being destroyed at an appalling rate by multinational companies. McDonald's have at last been forced to admit to using beef reared on ex-rainforest land, preventing its regeneration. Also, the use of farmland by multinationals and their suppliers forces local people to move on to other areas and cut down further trees.

• McDonald's are the world's largest user of beef. Methane emitted by cattle reared for the beef industry is a major contributor to the 'global warming' crisis. Modern intensive agriculture is based on the heavy use of chemicals which are damaging to the environment.

• Every year McDonald's use thousands of tons of unnecessary packaging, most of which ends up littering our streets or polluting the land buried in landfill sites.

• Children are lured in (dragging their parents behind them) with the promise of toys and other gimmicks.

• Instead of everyone sharing the world's resources for the benefit of all, multinationals like McDonald's just want to use these resources to make profits for themselves.

• There Representative is a clown

• Thanks to Globalization McDonalds has thousands upon thousands of establishment’s worldwide. 6 out of the 7 continents have McDonalds, I am sure if Antarctica was not covered in ice that they would have one there too.

• They use a lot of packaging that is cooled down using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which can actually damage the Ozone layer .

• Any establishment (like all fast-"food" establishments) owned by a group of people, whether they are shareholders or whether it is privately owned by individuals, if they are not local but are going into an area that is not their home and extracting money from the locals while at the same time taking business away from local establishments to concentrate this money into their own hands elsewhere, is evil.

• Everything you see in a print ad is fairly accurate-provided you ignore the 20 odd hours spent in retouching every major print ad campaign they make. Removing brown lettuce, discoloured saauce, burnt meat AND
  
• The biggest shareholders are JEWS!

SARAJEVO - Seorang lelaki Islam Bosnia yang berjalan kaki untuk menunaikan ibadah haji di Mekah pada tahun lalu memberitahu agensi berita AFP bahawa dia tiba di kota suci tersebut selepas merentasi tujuh buah negara termasuk Syria yang kini dilanda perang saudara.
"Saya tiba di Mekah pada Sabtu lalu. Saya tidak letih, ini merupakan hari paling bahagia dalam hidup saya," kata Senad Hadzic menerusi satu temu bual telefon.
Lelaki berusia 47 tahun itu memberitahu, dia berjalan kaki sejauh 5,700 kilometer (km) selama 314 hari merentasi Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turki, Syria dan Jordan untuk ke Mekah dengan membawa beg sandang seberat 20 kilogram.
Hadzic memaparkan perjalanan tersebut dalam akaun Facebook miliknya termasuk gambar dia memperoleh kad masuk dan keluar Syria yang dikeluarkan oleh kementerian dalam negeri kepada warga asing.
"Saya merentasi Syria pada April lalu. Saya berjalan sekitar 500km dalam tempoh 11 hari. Saya melintasi bandar raya Aleppo dan Damsyik serta sejumlah pos kawalan tentera rejim dan pemberontak tetapi saya tidak pernah ditahan.
"Di sebuah pos kawalan tentera Presiden Bashar Al-Assad, beberapa askar mengarahkan saya mengosongkan beg sandang saya. Apabila saya menunjukkan al-Quran dan menyatakan saya berjalan kaki ke Mekah, mereka melepaskan saya," ujar Senad.
"Saya berjalan kerana Allah, untuk Islam, untuk Bosnia-Herzegovina, untuk ibu bapa dan saudara perempuan saya," tambah lelaki itu.
Di laman Facebooknya, dia memberitahu, Tuhan telah menunjukkan jalan ke Mekah dalam mimpinya termasuk menuju ke kota suci itu melalui Syria dan bukan Iraq.
Semasa perjalanannya, Senad berdepan suhu sejuk antara -35° darjah Celsius di Bulgaria hingga kepanasan mencecah 44° darjah Celsius di Jordan.
Menurutnya, dia terpaksa menunggu di Istanbul selama beberapa minggu untuk mendapatkan kebenaran bagi merentasi Jambatan Bosphorus dengan berjalan kaki, selain dua bulan di sempadan Jordan dan Arab Saudi bagi mendapatkan visa untuk mengerjakan ibadah haji. - AFP

What happened to the World?

Sami Buddha tuntut etnik Rohingya dihantar ke negara lain

SEJUMLAH sami Buddha berarak dalam perhimpunan anti-Rohingya di Mandalay, Myanmar semalam.

YANGON, Myanmar – Beratus-ratus sami Buddha di Myanmar semalam menyertai perhimpunan bagi menyokong cadangan Presiden Thein Sein untuk menghantar etnik Rohingya yang beragama Islam ke negara lain.
Perhimpunan yang berlangsung itu merupakan petunjuk terkini sentimen anti-Rohingya yang mendalam di negara ini. Ia berlaku selepas satu keganasan melibatkan pergaduhan antara etnik Rakhine yang bergama Buddha dengan Rohingya pada bulan Jun lalu.
Dalam kejadian itu, seramai 80 orang terbunuh dan puluhan ribu penduduk hilang tempat tinggal. Pada Julai lalu, Sein mencadangkan agar Myanmar menghantar semua etnik Rohingya ke negara yang berminat menerima mereka. Cadangan tersebut ditentang sebuah agensi pelarian Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (PBB). Myanmar menyifatkan etnik Rohingya sebagai pendatang haram dari Bangladesh.
Namun, Bangladesh juga didakwa tidak menerima etnik tersebut sekali gus menyebabkan mereka tiada kerakyatan. PBB menganggarkan kira-kira 800,000 masyarakat Rohingya tinggal di Myanmar. Keganasan yang berlaku pada Jun lalu adalah disebabkan dakwaan bahawa seorang wanita etnik Rakhine telah dirogol oleh penduduk Rohingya. – Agensi

My say:
What happened to the World recently? People are so EGO and SELFISH! Islam can accept different religious in one country, why cant Myanmar and Israel do the same? This is UNFAIR and CRUEL! Stop the racist thingy and live well without prejudice! 

The EU economy crisis

It started v the Statue of Liberty country 2yrs ago but their economy growth slowly recover because they control the world economy.
Then, when it comes to Europe country, USA ally, it's quite impossible for the countries to recover.. few Europe countries are facing bankruptcy especially Greece, one of the most beautiful country in Europe! The reason is why? Only one word can explain all of the 'whys' that is DEBT(S)! Yes, most of European countries are facing a severe indebtedness. After a few months of selling a few of their well-known islands and property, the government of Greece gave up and they've agreed to rebuild the country by a mix government! At least they tried.. One kind neighbor, the Germany, invites skilled workers from Greece to work in Germany to reduce the number of unemployment in Greece.
The second rising government debt country was Ireland. It is just like a pandemic disease. It transmitted from one country to another country in Europe.. But Ireland is showing a good recovery in their 2nd quarter of economy growth after months of struggling.
After Greece & Ireland, the 3rd country that faced quite the similar problem was Portugal! How did the Portuguese overcome this problem? Thanks to the EU. PM José Sócrates and his government resigned.
And the latest world headlines of the economy crisis is Italy. And finally, after 17 yrs of ruling the country, the AC Milan owner also the PM, Silvio Berlusconi resigned when he realized he could not do anything to help the economy even though he did succeed in his sex scandals and corruption charge.
Italy is famous of its incredible automotive creations such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati Piaggio etc etc but the economy crisis showed no mercy! What will happen to Italy? We just wait and see..
In October 2011, eurozone leaders meeting in Brussels agreed on a package of measures designed to prevent the collapse of member economies due to their spiralling debt. This included a proposal to write off 50% of Greek debt owed to private creditors, increasing the EFSF to about €1 trillion and requiring European banks to achieve 9% capitalisation. As of November 2011, the same eurozone leaders that extended the package to save the eurozone have extended an ultimatum toward Greece. Both President Nicolas Sarkozy of France and Prime Minister Angela Merkel of Germany have made it public that both of their governments have reached the end of their patience with the beleaguered Greek economy. (wikipedia)

Luckily, those countries didn't affect Malaysia because we are not bound in terms of trade. But what will happen when countries like Germany and Britain face the same crisis? Of course we will be affected.

For me when we talk about debts, one of the biggest debts contributor is the CREDIT CARD! So guys, beware of the CC uses, use it only when you really really need it not because you want to use it.

Saintis rancang gali pusat Bumi

GAMBARAJAH lapisan bumi.

LONDON - Sekumpulan saintis Britain merancang untuk menggerudi lapisan batu-batan untuk sampai ke bahagian mantel bumi buat kali pertama, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.

Ekspedisi itu bertujuan membawa naik sampel mantel Bumi untuk kajian. Ia melibatkan operasi menggerudi melepasi lapisan batu pejal sejauh 8 kilometer di dasar laut dengan suhu mencecah 298° Celsius.

Projek itu bakal dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018 dan diketuai oleh pakar Pusat Oseanografi Southampton, Dr. Damon Teagle serta Dr. Benoit Ildefonse dari Universiti Montpellier, England.

Terdapat beberapa cubaan untuk menggali mantel Bumi pada tahun 1960-an tetapi gagal kerana masalah organisasi dan kos. - Agensi
