Charge By Race

Signing up for an exclusive Club membership has never been this weird. Apparently there are golf clubs that are charging new members based on the colour of their skin!

I remember looking for jobs in the newspaper classified and i see jobs that says “Chinese ONLY” or even jobs that boldly advertise that they want only a certain race. I felt that it was horrible that they were allowed to advertise in the first place. I don’t understand the logic, if the job requires for you to speak a certain language , i can understand it. In that case, the language pre-requisite should be highlighted but the way its done is nothing but pure racism for me.

The below has been circulating on social networks recently. Apparently it’s from KGNS- Kelab Golf Negara Subang . Searched on the website but there was no pricing by race but this could be a hard copy. If its true, its shocking and I sure hope that some serious action is taken against them.

I for one am hoping that it’s a hoax! What do you think?

1Care Health Concept

If you don’t know yet the government is pondering restructuring the Health Care System which means that you potentially have to give up 10% of your salary for what they think is system that is

responsive and provides choice of quality health care, ensuring universal coverage for health care needs of population based on solidarity and equity

Sounds like a load of rubbish to me! So 10% of your salary later and you don’t like it, you’ll have to pay more to see another doctor or get better medicine. Sounds like a pretty shit deal isn’t it!

How Sweet?

The Star published a story about how they have increased the subsidy of sugar so it not will be a burden to the people.

The global price of sugar is skyrocketing. We have to pay RM567mil for sugar subsidy this year compared to RM262.4mil last year due to the higher prices – Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob

Now i don’t really understand economics but it didn’t sound right, normally there would be lots of noise when something like this happened but i didn’t hear much till i read about and i found an article by Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara, Tony Pua who explained the situation which is a totally contrasting situation from what the The Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister  [Read more...]

Water Demand Management in Malaysia

Heard this one on BFM yesterday about Water Demand Management in Malaysia and boy it was a very interesting talk. Here are some staggering stats that we all have a part to play

  • A conventional toilet uses between 9 and more liters of water , a water saving toilet would use half or less of that. 
  • A conventional shower head uses 13 liters a MINUTE which means 5-10 minute shower you would have used about 130 liters of water.Water efficient shower head uses 5 liters a minute
Its MASSIVE! This is a massive problem and i sure hope that the government, developers starts the education process in a large way to educate us to be mindful of these stats and issues and provide the resources for us to be sustainable .
I highly recommend you listen to the podcast and please spread the word, it is IMPORTANT!
