MELIOIDOSIS OUTBREAK IN BAKUN, SARAWAK
Several cases of melioidosis were detected in Bakun area, Belaga District, Sarawak, Malaysia. According to the Sarawak Environment and Public Health Minister Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh, until August 3, this year, 35 cases of melioidosis were recorded so far. Most cases are reported in the districts of Kapit (15) and Belaga (12). Last year, 17 deaths from this disease were reported, compared with five deaths this year. However, none of victims this year are locals from Bakun.
In most of the cases, the predisposing factor was related to working condition, which involved contact with soil. Bakun is classified as an endemic area for melioidosis that first occurred in 2006 when three foreign workers at the Bakun HEP died from this disease. In 2007 and 2008, two foreigners working there have suffered from the disease but fortunately they survived.
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by a Gram-negative bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, found in soil and water. It is a recognized disease in animals, including cats, goats, sheep, and horses. Cattle, water buffalo, and crocodiles are considered to be relatively resistant to melioidosis despite their constant exposure to mud. Melioidosis is endemic in parts of southeast Asia (including Thailand, Laos and southern China, Singapore, Malaysia, Burma and Vietnam), Taiwan and northern Australia. There is a clear association with increased rainfall: with the number (and severity) of cases increasing following increased precipitation.
Person-to-person transmission is exceedingly unusual; and patients with melioidosis should not be considered contagious and be quarantined. In endemic areas, people (rice-paddy farmers in particular) are warned to avoid contact with soil, mud and surface water where possible. Case clusters have been described following flooding and cyclones and probably relate to exposure. Other case clusters have related to contamination of drinking water supplies. Populations at risk include patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, chronic lung disease or patients with an immune deficiency of any kind. The effectiveness of measures to reduce exposure to the causative organism has not been established. A vaccine is not yet available. There has been interest in melioidosis because it has the potential to be developed as a biological weapon.
Melioidosis outbreak that confined only to Bakun areas may be considered related to HEP projects that are currently developed there. These projects involved extensive exposure by stripping off the soil and flooding the catchment area will mobilize the bacteria to the downstream areas coupled with some heavy downfalls. Increasing number (and severity) of cases ever since the Bakun HEP Project indicates some clear association with increased disturbance and exposure of the land surface by stripping of soil and flooding.
Perhaps there is a good basis that local people believe melioidosis outbreak in Bakun was curse of the angry spirits in the area and they should perform some form of offering ceremonies to appease the spirits of the graveyards and gods in the area. But Health Department confirmed that the fatalities were caused by melioidosis and leptospirosis. The locals believe the diseases were brought about by angry gods of the area and spirits of their ancestors. Rituals to appease the spirits of their ancestors had not been done and thus incurred their wrath. The fact is local people have been in contact with it ever since it was detected but they suffer no ill effects of it while the foreigners probably had not developed any kind of immunity to it.

Gorilla: Besar tetapi tidaklah sebesar mana.
Gorila jantan yang matang, dipanggil silverbacks, sangat besar (sehingga 425lb, kadang-kadang lebih berat). Silverback hidup dalam kumpulan 5 sehingga 30 betina, di mana dia mengawan sepanjang tahun. Hanya sedikit persaingan bagi mendapatkan betina kerana silverback besar yang menakutkan dan dengan senang boleh melindungi kumpulan daripada pencabar.
Kelemahan: Zakarnya 1.5 inci (~ 4 cm). (Ya, mesti ingat bahawa tiada pertandingan untuk dapatkan betina). Jadi, anda harus ingat bahawa pada masa akan datang jika seseorang berkata anda adalah "gorila" 800-lb - ia hanyalah satu penghinaan!
Alat tidak setimpal dengan badan

INTERNET BUSINESS OFFERS
There are many business opportunities offered in the internets, e.g. SURVEY, TRANSLATOR JOBS, CREATING WEBSITES etc. I believe these offers are scams. Such surveys, translator jobs are never materialized. They just want to siphon your credit cards or paypal accounts made for joining their businesses. For example, one may be offered to pay $68 to join survey or translation....and better still they offer 50% discount. Yet, it looks like a scam. Their website never state their company address and profile. Making business in internets are never to be trusted. In fact they are the one who make money from those who join them unknowing being cheated with sophisticated techniques in internet business tactics.
I think, it's better not to join such businesses offered in internet hehehehe.
Don't look for easy money offered in INTERNETS.

Easy Payment Plan (EPP)
Have you heard about Easy Payment Plan(EPP)? Yes, it can be used for purchasing goods at the shops under the merchant. EPP is quite popular for purchasing goods at outlets selected where every transaction could be settled within 2 years and at zero interest.
Now, certain agencies are filling the loophole to take advantage. They will go around as financial consultants and help you settling your credit cards by EPP. The consultant says, he can arrange for EPP and create dummies at certain outlet registered under EPP with the intention of buying certain good that are never meant to be delivered. They genuinely settle your credit card balance with the bank. One can pay monthly instalment to the respective bank that issue the cards from 24 to 48 months. Yea...sound so much reduced in payment.
Mind you, the consultant tries to convince that he can settle the credit cards at much lower interest, 7-11% whereby the credit cards 17.5%. Yea...the transaction is quite genuine. He would contact the credit card centre and ask for credit card limit and also approval code. Anyway, at the end of the day, one ends up pay almost equivalent to the what the credit card bank is charging for. Hmmmmm...really no point to switch to EPP. So, anyone who is approached by the so-called financial consultant to settle credit card by EPP MUST think twice. BETTER TAKE PERSONAL LOAN!

RECOGNISE YOURSELF
Jesus teaches us about positive attitude in life. Face life positively eventhough what we experience is displeasing. Negative treats are in the form of greed, ego, anger, lust and attachment. More often, they are set in to create unnecessary inner pain.
We must have self-respect by subduing egoism. Ego can initiate anger and creates unhappiness. We tend to get angry on flimsy grounds because of turbulence and conflicts within. The scenes created make us lose balance, peace and happiness. There would be more tension and clashes.
Generosity can be very satisfying but greedy could drain out our energies while trying to acquire short-term material pleasure. When satisfaction is missing, greed becomes even more prevalent.
Lust could become an addiction, so powerful that it has been put on pedestal as part of the essential physiological needs. Anger, brought by frustrated desires is a stong negative feeling which significantly contributes to psychosomatic ill health. This gives us pain because thewy are ot our true nature.
Always recognize your true nature. Look at ourselves and compare with Jesus. One would be able to see one's true nature.

KAPA AKU NYA
IBAN: Self Development in Rural Areas
1. Remain united
They must give full support to the Tuai Rumah in order to remain united. The concept of "bedurok" must be contiued while maintaining a firm concept of "gotong-royong". Sharing or giving to the next door should be maintain as this is a traditional way of longhouse life. No such thing as 'nuan nuan, aku aku ' - a selfish kind of altitude. They must share the good opportunity or method with others.
2. Work for your stomach
We live just to fill our stomach. Work hard and smart for your stomach. There is nothing better much happier than having a stomach full of good food. Live like those birds in the trees. God really care so much for them. There is always ample food around if one is working hard enough in a smart manner.
3. Enjoy life
Give yourself a good treat. Live to the fullest possible. Enjoy as much as possible. Enjoy life while one is still healthy and strong. Spend half what one got on enjoyment and the rest being used to fill one's stomach.
4. Give your descendants the best
Give your children some good education...educate, educate and educate....... Education is a good way to healthier and happy life. Give your children the best that one can afford. Plan for your descendants properly but not until half death. Don't let them regret. To the youngs people, always obey parents advice on education thing. Aim for good future. Don't try to disappoint your parents.
5. Be an opportunist
There are many opportunities; the ibans have vast tract of NCR land. Keep your NCR lands to yourself and develop them to the fullest. Cultivate your own oil palm plantation. One will get much more by developing it yourself. Don't 'makan tindok' to get something from your land because the return will not be much.
6. Work for yourself
Do it most of the time. Promote yourself to a manager level. Working for other with small return is not worth it. Your life will be like those chicken - 'Keranjai pagi empa pagi, keranjai lemai empa lemai'. Take the best option among all the opportunity available to you.
