Datuk Seri Abdullah handing over power to Datuk Seri Najib

on Monday, March 30, 2009

I am a malaysian scholar that has come to Singapore to study. I have not been paying attentions to the malaysian news but just today, when I got the straits times for the reading programe in hwa chong, I noticed an article about Datuk Seri Abudallah(Malaysia's current Prime Minister) handing his power to Datuk Seri Najib. The reason that I write this blog post is to express my views regarding this matter.
I belive that Malaysia is a good country to live in many ways, such as -
1) No natural disasters
2) Low crime rate
3) Low cost of living
4) Beautiful Landscapes
However, it is my personal opinion that Malaysia really lacks good leadership. Therefore, I hope that this change in leadership for the country will contribute further to the country. I hope that Datuk Seri Najib will provide the much needed leadership for the country and now, from here, I would like to wish him good luck.

I recently read a heart warming title about a person named Oh Siew May who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. This disease rendered Siew May unable to walk properly and make her face a little distorted. Although of her disease, she is still a strong and giving female. In her life, she has done things that even some of us have not done before. For example, she had climb Mt Kinabalu before and had writen her own autobiography about her miserable life.

Siew May managed to do so many things in spite of the many life challenges and setbacks that she has faced since she was born. For example, people often keep away from her and ignore her completely. Very few people are willing to become her friend.Some people even critisize her openly.

I feel very sympathetic towards Siew May's plight. I would like each and every one of you out there to accept such people ito the society. I, for one. wish sincerely that there is something that can do to help Oh Siew May.

Today, i will be blogging about a news article from the News Straits Times Paper. The article's name is 'Handcuffed Singaporean flees from custody in Malaysia'.

This news article is a plot-driven story. A plot-driven story is a story which the intricacies of the plot are the most important aspects of the story. A plot-driven story makes the reader wants to read more not because they are fascinated by the characters but because they want to find out what happen next. The most well known plot-driven stories are mysteries especially murder mysteries. The plot creates the mystery so the plot is the focus of the story.

As for the news article, it is a plot-driven story because it makes the reader wants to read more to know more about the situation. The readers want to know more on what happened to the Singaporean man.They want to know his whereabouts and what methods are implemented to capture him. The readers will probably be reading the newspapers for the next few days just to know what happened to him.

In my opinion, i think that we should take preventive measures to guard ourselves against this dangerous criminal. He will not hesitate to kill us if he thinks we are a threat to him. Besides that, i also think that the police should dispatch more men to guard prisoners. This would prevent future prisoners from escaping.

Moreover, i think that the government should impose stricter rules against drug trafficking. This will deter people from trying to traffic drugs in the future. Last but not least, i would like to urge each and everyone of you not to commit any offences.

beauty of mathematics

 

Absolutely amazing!

 

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!! 

1 x 8 + 1 = 9 
12 x 8 + 2 = 98 
123 x 8 + 3 = 987 
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876 
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765 
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654 
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543 
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432 
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321 

1 x 9 + 2 = 11 
12 x 9 + 3 = 111 
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111 
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111 
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111 
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111 
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111 
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111 
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111 

9 x 9 + 7 = 88 
98 x 9 + 6 = 888 
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888 
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888 
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888 
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888 
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888 
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888 

Brilliant, isn't it? 

And look at this symmetry: 

1 x 1 = 1 
11 x 11 = 121 
111 x 111 = 12321 
1111 x 1111 = 1234321 
11111 x 11111 = 123454321 
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321 
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321 
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321 
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321 

 
 


Now, take a look at this... 


101% 


>From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: 


What Equals 100%? 
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? 

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? 

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to 
GIVE OVER 100%. 

How about ACHIEVING 101%? 


What equals 100% in life? 


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help 
answer these questions: 


If: 

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 

Is represented as: 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. 


If: 

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K 


8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98% 


And: 

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E 


11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96% 


But: 

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E 


1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100% 



THEN, look how far the love of God will take you: 



L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 


12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101% 


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: 

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will 
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top! 

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just 
the way I did.. 

Have a nice day & God bless!!

The answer to squared numbers are as follow :

Firstly, you need to know the formula 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 + ......+ x*x = x/6(x+1)(2x+1)

Then, 1*1 + 3*3 + ...... + 99*99 = (1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 +...... + 100*100 ) - (2*2 + 4*4 + ......
100*100 )
= [ (100/6) (100+1) (2*100+1) ]-[ 2*2 ( 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 +......
50*50) ]
= 338350 - [4 * (50/6) (50+1) (2*50+1)
= 338350 - 171700
= 166650
