Which Planet this guy came from?
I have to apologise putting up this photo in the blog as it might spoilt the whole festive season's mood.
Of course, we are upset not because he is a Chinese or a Muslim, as we are people in the state of"ultra-kiasu" (as he claimed) know very well that a Chinese or a Muslim is not a problem. The problem is the person.
This guy was trying to play "bodek" again to his bosses by saying the context of nationalisation (rights of religious festivals and celebration of all races, etc) should be based on the percentages of Malaysians by religions were “60 per cent Islam, 40 per cent non-Malay (22 per cent Buddhist-Taoism-Confucius, nine per cent Christian, six per cent Hindu, three per cent others).
I am not Muslim but I do believe that all religions including Islam believe in justice and fairness, but not based on majority or minority. This was also explained by PAS leaders.
We are upset is because how can a university lecturer which acquired a doctorate degree could speak something that only the ancient people might think of. Probably the ancient people also did not think this way.
I have to apologise again as he used to have the same surname with me in Chinese.

The Same Question, Do you Believe?
I was in Shah Alam today visiting a project site and my client show me this building and said,
"Look, this is the building where TBH fell down."
Oh! Finally I reached this sad place without any planning. We parked there, took some photos and stood there for the while, trying to "imagine" the time TBH fell down.
My client asked me," Do you believe TBH fell down himself?"
We are not pathologies nor the professional investigator. We could only choose to believe or not.
Do you believe he fell down himself?
(And we are still waiting for the professionals' report which had delayed for the 2nd time.)

Good Luck to the Earth
I attended an intensive course and sitting for an examination to become the facilitator for the GBI or Green Building Index in last couple of weeks.
The GBI is basically aiming to design a low thermal transfer building, to plan a self sustainable and maintain with high energy efficiency in building operation. The course gave us an awareness and hope that we are in building services industry could contribute as much as we can in reducing the global warming.
We must practice environmental friendly life like reduce wastage, "reuse, reduce and recycle" resources that shortage in this world. In fact, we are consuming resources more than the world could produce yearly, this also means that the ecology or sustainability chain had been broken.
However, the efforts to reduce global warming could not depend only the small group of the normal people but the leaders of the countries especially those developed countries like USA, European & Japan and also the major developing countries like China and India as these countries "contribute" most carbon footprint.
These leaders need to take drastic steps and initiatives to reduce the carbon produced from the countries.
Unfortunately, the Copenhagen Talk which also considered as the "last opportunity of mankind to reduce global warming" end with bare minimum agreements as every countries were self protective and hoping others to do the works for them.
The earth is in fact has on the track of no return of temperature rise more than 2 degree Celsius and the effects are serious to our livelihood.
Good luck to the earth.
