Health tips : Mayo Clinic and water

How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night!!
               
 Heart Attack and Water -  I  never knew all of this  ! Interesting.......

Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time.  Answer from my Cardiac Doctor -

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys,  it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!

IPCMC Now: Don’t Play Dumb And Deaf

SUARAM is dissatisfied with the way top political leaders respond when questioned about the formation of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC). 

It is a disgraceful how the Government of Malaysia and the Royal Malaysian Police continually refuse to set up the IPCMC. The rhetoric employed is weak and simplistic and framing their arguments in such a narrow context only serves to compound the Rakyat's ignorance on the importance of an oversight body such as the IPCMC.

Najib Razak - Malaysia's flip-flopping PM

No other prime minister of Malaysia has shown such consistency in back-pedalling on policies, as Najib Abdul Razak has done.

What does the future hold for Malaysia under such an indecisive leader?

Putting the Record Straight on Citizenship Issue

This is a comment received in response to Tommy Thomas article on the Citizenship

IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL?

We are caught up in UMNO's game of diversion with so many issues that we are missing some vital points. That is, most if not all of UMNO's actions from 1963 to 2013 (50 round years) have been unconstitutional and ultra vires.

Unlike the Americans we do not strongly assert our rights under the Constitution having been hammered into pathetic muted submission with numerous undemocratic emergency laws from 1948 to 1960s following the outbreak of armed resistance against British colonial rule and to the British Malayan invention of "Malaysia". Only recently with the "free" internet press that many dared to speak out.

EC's chief: 'What detergent do I use to clean electoral roll?'

It is not possible for any country to ensure its electoral roll is 100 percent clean, the Election Commission (EC) says, for the list will be affected by daily occurrences of deaths as well as changes in addresses as people move about the country.
   
"If I clean today, tomorrow someone dies and it is not clean again...

"How clean do you want it to be? What kind of detergent do we need to use?" EC chief Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof told a press conference in Putrajaya today.

He stressed that in spite of revelations to the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) on immigrants in Sabah, the electoral roll for the state - and for the rest of the country - was as clean as these could be made.

Mahathir a betrayal for Malaysia, says Baru Bian

By Baru Bian

Reading the testimonies of the various witnesses at the RCI hearings, I cannot help but feel intense anger at the betrayal of our people by Dr Mahathir. By his clandestine and illegal Project IC or Ops Durian Buruk, he managed to single-handedly manipulate the demographics of Sabah, which may have a very different socio-economic and geo-political landscape today but for his meddling. The extent of the effects of Dr Mahathir’s high-handed interference on Sabah’s culture, ethnic cohesion and development will be difficult to measure. This exercise in social engineering is all the more reprehensible for its main criteria, ie the requirement that the illegal immigrants must be Muslims to be eligible for ICs and citizenships.

Salam Hormat dari Tua Kampong Long Kavuk

Salam hormat to all of you my anak-anak, cucu-cucu and my sabila wherever you may be. May the LOVE, BLESSING, STENGTH the WORDS of our Lord be upon you.

As you all know, I’ve been so silent for the last few months; this is because my email writer the retired Cikgu from Long Kavuk was in Miri and Kuching for few months on medical treatment.  As matter of fact, the retired Cikgu was very pale before left Long Kavuk for his treatment, but today, I am so please to see him gradually recovering. He is still on medications. But, this is not what I am going to discuss in this email.
