Dirtier and Dirtier

I just wonder...how low can Malaysian politics go? Just last week the initimate Elizabeth Wong photos were leaked to the newspapers...obviously in an attempt to taint her character. Which newspaper? Aiyoh you know-lah...has to be them BN papers ma!! And who else but a stupid devil (toyol in this case...) would equate her victimisation with CSL's well-publicised tryst?? Well, if this is the intelligence of a aspiring future UMNO Youth Leader then there's nothing left to say now right? How about the 'disappearance' of the alleged perpetrator on the eve of the leakage...now please don't tell me you can't smell a rat here? Smelling like a certain private investigator who's whereabouts are still 'not known' hmm?

Obviously the newly-commissioned MACC and JACC will be BN's lapdog...just on Thursday the MACC barked loud and clear to follow its masters commands: this time against the Selangor Menteri Besar! Well I'm sure he has a lot of skeletons in his closet (after all he has done his time with UMNO) but to take the 'cars and cows' incident is stretching it a bit too far! Especially when you compare them to the two biggest scandals to-date - Lingamgate and PKFZ - which incidentally, has yet to be addressed after years in the news! 

PR is to be faulted too, but to a lesser degree. Hey the actions of the Speaker of the State Assembly may be a risky counterstroke, but I doubt it'll work in Boleh-land. Of course BN has decided to go to the judiciary to get the suspensions removed, but err, shouldn't the legislative and judiciary be independent of each other? Hmm, maybe elsewhere but as we have seen definitely not in Malaysia! 

How long more will the sagas continue on? How long more will the machinations continue? And urm, who's steering the ship? Don't the people in power know that the economic tsunami will hit us very soon? Already our new Finance Minister has admitted that the growth forecast for Malaysia for 2009 would have to be cut - oi hello, even the garbage man can tell you that!

Let me tell you my prediction here: negative growth - Malaysia in recession by 2Q 2009.

Kapish?

X-rated Commercial?

Now this is one video we will not get to see ever...in holier-than-thou Malaysia!

Slumdog Millionaire

Well, this is an interesting movie...one of the better ones thus far. Then again I haven't seen much lately. Yes everyone likes a rags-to-riches love story, especially if it involves kids. Better if they were poor kids! The movie was entertaining and endearing, and it also exposes the reality of life for the majority of the population in a major Indian city to the worldwide audience. I guess most of us who haven't been to India would not have guessed that that is the real India! I think it is not whether he wins the 10m rupees - that's a foregone conclusion - but the journey of the lives of the three main characters that is the highlight of the show. Danny Boyle has a penchant for directing shows with kids as the main character (Millions was another - I still can't quite get that one yet). However unlike many other similar shows this movie fail to make me weep - wonder why...

Highly-recommended movie - now everyone would be waiting to see whether it can win the most coveted Oscar of all!

What A Ride!

Wow...how much difference a week makes! I was in Penang on working visit, but couldn't keep my concentration with all the drama occuring in the State below me!! Well, a lot have been stated over MSM and the Net so I'll just summarise my take on the whole event:

1. Like it or not, BN HAS taken over the state government...
2. The way they have done so is sickening to say the least...
3. The people have spoken their minds...just look at the protests!
4. The ball is now with the courts...erm, I'm not even remotely hoping...
5. The defectors have to come out and publicly declare why they have hopped! Or risk being cursed forever... But I pity the family and relatives who will risk similar treatment though they are innocent (I hope)...
6. Anyone gonna do anything about the EC? They have clearly overstepped their bounds!
7. The Sultan may have had his hand forced...Daulat Tuanku!
8. Reinforces the fact that BN is not fit to lead this country...hopefully more people will see it that way now!

Anyway let's hope that this event has another sting in its tail...for BN that is!

PPSMI

I wonder what the fuss is about? Anyway the issue is teaching of Science and Maths in English, not other subjects! I guess a lot of people are taking this as an assault on the Bahasa Melayu (or was it Bahasa Malaysia...) and the Malay culture, as is clearly voiced by the individual interviewed!

What's my take? It is well known that the lingua franca of Science is English - well and good if these people want to teach this subject in Malay. Just don't come crying ten, twenty years down the line and say that our graduates are not equipped to compete with the outside world OK!

Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop to The Top?

Aiyoh, so many hoppers nowadays: no, no not grasshoppers, frogs or even kangaroos! I'm talking about political party hoppers...yeah just recently one UMNO State Assemblyman 'hopped' over to PKR but now there's talk of two 'hopping' the other way!

I cannot say for sure what their motives and intentions are but it certainly does not bode well for the people; come on, if you are to busy thinking where to hop to, the last thing on your mind would be the people who put you there in the first place right?

I strongly believe if someone wants to change alleigances, he or she should be honourable enough to resign and leave it to the people to choose either them again, or another to represent them.

Heck, with all these hoppers everywhere I won't be surprised if there's another general election soon!

Confused?

There's so much conflicting news coming out with regards to the economy...who wouldn't be confused??

First they say Malaysia will NOT go into recession...but there are now TWO stimulus packages, and Bank Negara has cut the OPR to 2.5%! There's also a nugget regarding Khazanah's plan to invest RM 58b (here!) over a three year period... On the flipside Intel is closing down two plants in Penang, and probably more MNCs to go down the same path?

Then again our RM 7b first stimulus package pales way in comparison to Singapore's SGD 20b package...so what does that say about Malaysian policy makers?

Let's us draw our own conclusions...

Another Lock-Up Boo Boo!

Well, the shit has really hit the fan this time...another death in the police lock-up! And of all races...you guessed it: an Indian!

The signs of torture are unmistakable, and for once the pictures have gone viral on the WWW! There can't be any cover up this time...

And with HINDRAF and MIC on the same boat for once, PDRM will have a lot of explaining to do!

Statistical nugget update: A total of 1536 individuals have died under police custody from 2003 to date. What you say? Yeah, apparently it's the truth...

KT Votes

As I write this now, voters in Kuala Terengganu are going to polling stations to vote for their new MP. It's PAS vs. UMNO, PR vs. BN, change vs. status quo. It's a neck and neck race, too close to call. PAS has got a lot going for them - well-liked candidate, issues galore, the 'change' momentum; BN as usual has to rely on bribery and money politics. 

Wonder how the result will turn out...guess we will find out in about 11 hours.

Update. 11.00 p.m.: PAS wins by 2,631 votes!!

What The??

Latest stories hitting the headlines...

Pig's head thrown at UM Mosque...wrapped in a PAS flag!! Ha ha...UMNO really trying to kill itself. Who'd believe PAS would resort to this? And who among the Chinese would bother doing this? (OK, excluding those MCA dogs) And as one commenter put it, why would a sane Chinese throw a pig's head with it's juicy delicious ears intact?

Woo, angpow time? But wait...CNY is still a week away! As usual BN is feeling generous especially when an election is around the corner, this time to journalists in KT. How thick can you get? Anyway police reports have been made...and as usual there is the standard denial by the authorities. Well just goes to prove that BN = money (politics). OUR money!

We Want The Truth!

Who would YOU believe?

Yeah who? A chronically lying, pull-wool-over-eyes government with half-baked finance ministers, or respectable(?) economists and bankers with (perhaps) no vested interests apart from the truth?

Who in their right mind would believe this tiny sampan of a country would navigate the recessionary storm successfully while the giant supertankers of world economy flounders in the tsunamic wake of the 'credit crunch' earthquake?

Why is the 'R' word so worrying to those in power? Political expediency with the KT elections looming? Cautious optimism? Or worse, blind ignorance???

Like they say, the truth hurts...but please tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!! We Malaysians deserve at least that!!!

Really?

He says it's not an issue anymore! But...


Definitely something doesn't jive here... It was already wrong the moment it was taken away from the Terengganu people in 2000!

Where's the accountability? Or is there going to be any?

Welcome 2009!

Having a difficult time to find something to write about amid all the doom and gloom, so...

Here's wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Fact or Fiction?

OK, OK a lot of people don't trust this guy...he's been labelled a nutcase, crackpot and what not, but he does put up a credible hypothesis: The Real Significance of The Fed’s Zero-Interest-Rate Policy (ZIRP) - The Battle To Save The Fiat Money System Has Begun

Guys just imagine if the scenario is real...


Perhaps a book to read, if you can find it? Kind of pricey though...

Doctors

Excerpt from The Star, 7 December 2008:

Sunday December 7, 2008

Young docs walk a tightrope

By RASHVINJEET S. BEDI and HARIATI AZIZAN

After completing a gruelling course, young doctors have another challenge to face – a demanding two-year housemanship where they rely on lots of coffee, cope with very little sleep and put up with public chastisements.

SHE had always wanted to be a doctor but six months into her housemanship, she snapped and just couldn’t take the stress anymore.

*Kavitha found the workload and endless hours on call a real burden, sapping her energy and spirit. Today, says her concerned father *Gurdave, she is close to having a nervous breakdown and is seeing a psychiatrist for counselling.

“The work load was too heavy and the hours too long. When she was on call, she sometimes had to work for up to 36 hours straight. She wants to be transferred to another hospital but every hospital is just as bad.

“But I don’t want her to walk away from the profession. I have spent close to RM400,000 on her education. I don’t want anything back but just for her to get through this,” says Gurdave.

Unfortunately, housemanship is taking its toll on many young doctors like Kavitha. Statistically, she is one of at least five housemen a month who is found to be suffering from mental illness.

Health Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican revealed last week that many of the medical graduates are unable to cope with their housemanship.

“The mental cases range from psychotic to neurotic. Psychotic cases include delusions and hallucinations, and neurotic behaviour includes anxiety, fear and anger due to the competitive environment.’’

On-call system

The term houseman refers to an advanced student or graduate in medicine gaining supervised practical experience. In Malaysia, it is compulsory for doctors to undergo housemanship for two years after completing their medical degree. During housemanship, they are rotated among six departments – emergency department, medical, paediatric, general surgery, orthopaedic, and obstetrics and gynaecology – where they are attached to for four months each.

Over the years, those undergoing housemanship have been voicing their unhappiness but these complaints have generally fallen on deaf ears. The biggest grouse housemen have seems to be the on-call system, where they are sometimes subjected to work 36 hours at a stretch.

*Pedro, who is into his sixth month of housemanship, says he has on occasion worked 38 hours straight with only one hour rest in-between.

“In some hospitals, the patient load is non-stop as they have to accept referrals from other hospitals,” says Pedro, adding that this is more apparent at hospitals in Johor Baru and Klang which are the busiest in the country.

Housemen are provided facilities such as beds and they can sleep if they have no cases to attend to. However, this is rarely the case and the most sleep they get is about two to three hours. And that is only when the housemen take turns to sleep, says *Lalitha whose housemanship stint ended recently.

“We force ourselves to carry on. What keeps us going is coffee and tea. It is only after we are no longer on call that we can go back and crash until the next day,” she says. Depending on the department and the hospital they are serving in, housemen could be on-call for up to 15 days a month. Lalitha says that during her first posting, she would work from 6am to midnight every day.

“We go home, have a bath and sleep for five hours before the cycle is repeated. They are preparing us for the on-call,” she says.

Shortage of doctors

Dr Kuljit Singh, president of the Malaysian Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head Neck Surgeons (MSO- HNS), believes that one factor that can cause high pressure for trainee doctors is the shortage of doctors at some hospitals.

“Some hospitals have a lower doctor to patient ratio, so the housemen, being the lowest category in the medical fraternity, have to take on a lot of the work and responsibility, especially the lousy tasks, in the name of training,” he says.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (PPUKM) dean and director Prof Datuk Dr Lokman Saim agrees, saying that pressure from their heavy workload can push some doctors to the brink of breaking down.

“It is normal for a doctor to be on duty for more than 36 hours with on-call duties. In Europe, this has been recognised as a problem and they have passed a law to state that doctors cannot work more than 12 hours straight. Maybe we need laws like that if we want to improve our doctors’ welfare,” he opines.

Under the European Working Time Directive in 2004, junior doctors can work no more than 56 hours a week. They can work up to 13 hours a day but then have to have an 11-hour break.

Acknowledging that the number of doctors in Malaysia may still be too low for such a ruling, Dr Lokman nevertheless thinks it is a possible solution for the future.

Dr Lokman thinks that the problem of housemen suffering from mental problems can be prevented at the entry point of the profession.

“Currently, for public universities, students are selected by the Higher Education Ministry based on their exam results and co-curriculum activities. No interviews are conducted, so there is no way for the individual medical schools to assess their attitude and character. If we get the right candidates for the programme, we can be sure of the doctors we produce,” he argues.

However, he admits that it is not a foolproof method but he believes that it will help weed out the obviously unsuitable candidates.

“Many students are forced by their parents to take up medicine and these students end up very stressed because the course is difficult and they are not motivated. It will help us ascertain if a candidate has the right attitude and disposition to be a doctor,” he adds.

He highlights that a majority of students who fail and drop out of medicine are those who are forced by their parents into the field.

Bullying

But for those who successfully completed their degree, the challenge is dealing with the hospital environment.

They may have to contend with a handful of senior medical officers with the “Napoleon” complex who make the lives of the housemen difficult, says Dr Kuljit Singh who had served in government hospitals before branching out into private service.

“There is sometimes an element of bullying and high-handedness in the way some senior medical officers and consultants treat their junior house officers. They become Little Napoleons and are dictatorial. They say they went through the same regiment and that made them good doctors, so the newbies need to go through the same process,” says Dr Kuljit.

A senior doctor in the Johor Baru hospital, *Zul is also not happy with the treatment dished out to housemen.

“I have seen the degrading treatment given to medical officers, even after they have finished their housemanship,” he says. Zul himself was a houseman in the same hospital a few years ago and he says nothing has changed.

“If they talk about your work then it’s all right, but then they go into character assassination,” he says.

The housemen are usually screamed at by their specialists in the wards and in the clinics, he adds.

“The words used in front of patients are sometimes so degrading that in my opinion, it is these specialists who are the ones suffering from ‘mental woes’,” says Zul.

Those who fought back would be referred to the head of department who would either try to rectify the situation or extend the posting of the houseman, adds Zul.

A few of the housemen say there have been times when they were threatened with extensions in the department by medical officers.

Zul says that three of his friends quit the medical profession during their housemanship, with one of them ending up as a housewife.

“One of them would get anxiety attacks whenever she came to the ward. The thing is she was an excellent student,” says Zul.

*Maniam was barely a week into his housemanship when a specialist yelled at him in front of a patient.

“He asked me if I paid to pass my exams and also said I was the worst doctor he had ever come across. How can he say such a thing when I was there for only a week? They tend to look down on us as if we don’t know anything,” says Maniam.

However, Dr Kuljit, who taught at Universiti Malaya, shares that many students today are more pampered and have led a sheltered life, and thus cannot stand the pressure. Many come from a protected family environment, so when they are reprimanded, they get stressed and depressed. He believes that medical schools need to instil more soft skills, particularly interpersonal skills, in their students.

“We have many top scorers taking up medicine but many of them lack people skills. These students can manage with their studies but when they start working, they don’t know how to deal with their superiors, especially when they get scolded by them,” he says.

Pedro, on the other hand, does not have problems with any of the senior doctors he has to work with and says they are gems.

“I have no complaints because they teach us a lot. They offer us the opportunity to learn complicated procedures. They are willing to teach you even if there are possible complications. Even the specialists take time to teach you,” he adds.

President of the Malaysian Medical Association Datuk Khoo Kar Lin is unsure about the cause of mental problems faced by the doctors although he says the finding by the Health Ministry is a concern. He says a survey should be done on housemen to find out the causes.

“We have not received any complaints (about housemanship). I went through the system myself and from my impression it is not different from say 30 years ago. They are not being more overworked than yesterday,” says Khoo, adding that he enjoyed his housemanship.

“Every profession will have its challenges. We have to be cautious because people will always think that they are victimised and work longer hours compared to others,” adds Khoo.

President of the Malaysian Mental Health Association Datin Dr Ang Kim Teng says that housemanship could be a contributing factor to mental problems.

“It is not the job that causes it but the underlying susceptibility. Some people are more prone to this and the job stress could be a triggering factor. Factory workers, policemen and teachers can also face the same problem.

“It all depends on the individual’s ability to cope with stress. A lot of housemen go through their stints without any problems,” says Dr Ang.

Lalitha enjoyed her housemanship despite the many challenges in the different departments.

“We know this awaits us in the field. When I first started, I asked myself what I was doing here. The doctors pick on your mistakes and are not bothered if you have enough rest,” says Lalitha who got used to housemanship by her third posting.

She believes adaptation is the hardest and those who studied in foreign universities may have it tougher as they may not understand some of the terms used.

For *Tan, her social life took the backstage and she had to cut down on spending time with her family and friends.

“Those were the times when I thought of quitting but the feeling passed very quickly,” she says.

Tan didn’t really encounter any problems with the staff but has friends who have had books thrown at them and senior staff nurses giving them a hard time.

“At the end of the day, I am satisfied that I have somehow made a difference in a patient’s life. I don’t have any regrets getting into this line,” she says.

For Pedro, the only time he feels discouraged is when he has to get up at 5.30am for work.

“Once you get there it’s over in a snap,” he shares, adding that he feels really good when patients come out of life-threatening situations.

Pedro also says with all the running around they have to do, housemanship is the best weight loss programme.

“I can now fit into pants which I wore in Form Five!” he quips.

Prevention at entry

Dr Lokman Saim thinks that the problem can be prevented at the entry point of the profession, which is the medical course.

“Currently, for the public university, students are selected by the Higher Education Ministry based on their exam results and co-curriculum activities.

“No interviews are conducted, so there is no way for the individual medical schools to asses their attitude and character. If we get the right candidates for the programme, we can be sure of the doctors we produce,” Dr Lokman argues.

He admits that it is not a foolproof method but he believes that it will help.

“Many students are forced by their parents to take up medicine and these students end up very stressed because the course is difficult and they are not motivated. It will help us ascertain if a candidate has the right attitude and disposition to be a doctor,” he adds.

He highlights that the majority of students who fail and drop out of medicine are those who are forced by their parents into the field.

*Names have been changed to protect identities

How true, how true...this is how house officers are treated from time immemorial. Wonder why people are making a fuss of it now? Getting more lembik? More pampered?

Trust me, enjoy the experience...and remember: what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!!

Still At The Top?

Well...come the first week of December and Liverpool is still at the top of the BPL. Surprise surprise!! Anyway it's only a one point lead above Chelsea so nothing to shout about. Could have been much much more. Dropped points against Stoke, Tottenham, Fulham and West Ham - games that should have been won comfortably. Will these points matter towards the end of the season? We'll see...

What's different about Liverpool this season?

1. Use of width. Riera has been refreshing. Dossena looks good. But I'm still worried about the right wing...Kuyt isn't exactly a winger, though one has to give him credit for being the Duracell bunny of the team!

2. Torres. Remember that Torres has been out for most of the season. Better for him to be out now than later in the run-in. Liverpool have been playing fairly well without him - MU and Chelsea can testify to that! 

3.  MU and Chelsea. Great victories and confidence boosters. Well done lads. Notably in both matches both teams hardly got a look in at goal.

4. Xabi Alonso. After an indifferent 2007/2008 season, rumours had it that he'd be off-loaded this season. Must have shocked him back to reality - easily one of the better players around. Contributed immensely to the improved Liverpool performance. Scored the vital goal at Chelsea too!

5. Dirk Kuyt. Finally scoring goals. Not only the willing runner of the team. And able to step out of the shadows of Torres. Could see more from him hopefully.

6. Gerrard. Need I say more?

7. Arsenal. Jekyll and Hyde performances. But helping to keep Chelsea and MU off our back for the time being.

8. MU. Still the flair team, but more unstable this year than before. Keep it up!

9. Chelsea. The team to beat this year. Good all around team, playing well and winning even with so many players out injured. But they're no more invincible at home. 

Well the hectic Christmas schedule is coming up, including upcoming matches against Hull and Arsenal. Let's take it one month at a time OK?

Some Things Never Change...

Well, the headlines scream: Express bus crashes into tree and overturns near Tangkak, killing 10 and Massive landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa

Haven't we heard them before? Even Sleepyhead has had enough but isn't it a wee bit too late?

Talking about buses...as I was driving back from JB on Saturday my car was nearly sideswiped by an express bus driving at nearly 120 km/h!! So what do you expect??

Well I guess some things never change...

More Mang-lish Horrors!

Again from Kit's website...

YB Lim

This is found on the pages of our National Registration Dept website. Sigh, what a sad state of affairs, when such atrocious English is held up for display, for practically the whole world to see…..

And we are proud of sending a “space man” above???? A by-product of all the years that UMNO and BN has been in charge of our Education System. Now, it’s not just us M’sians who know that the quality of our local grads is hopeless, but this is being paraded for the whole world to see.

Don’t UMNO/BN have any shame? Hope you will raise this issue up at the righ forum.

Another Test

Well at least Anwar has decided not to set further dates for his so-called takeover of the Government...in my opinion they should just get down to concentrate on governing the states already in control and wait for 2013. Hopping MPs just does not inspire confidence!

Sad as the death of Kuala Terengganu MP and Deputy Education Minister Datuk Razali Ismail was, the vacancy of his seat would prove another testing ground for Malay grassroot support for the contenders - PKR/PAS (not PR here) and UMNO (not BN!!). What will succeed? Ketuanan Melayu vs. the Malaysian Agenda?

I guess we will know come January 17...for better or for worse...

Scare!

Came back from the South to the horror of this message on my computer screen: A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart! Panic...panic!! I has so much data to lose...

Fortunately after huffing and puffing for a few hours I managed to perform Chkdsk and correct the error...back to normal I hope!
