Save ur arse

Hope the below sayings can prolong my career

The ability to say, 'hey, that was wrong' and move on to the next game quickly, rather than get involved in bureaucratic processes where everybody says 'it wasn't my fault'

Mr Brown added: "Wealth creation is not just a privilege but a responsibility. And that is why we back the work ethic; we support effort and enterprise and responsible risk taking. These are the morals markets need.

"Where there has been irresponsibility we must now have instead transparency, integrity, responsibility, good housekeeping and international co-operation as the vital foundation stones of our financial system and the international financial system."

Anti Recession's Job

The safest career choices
To find out which careers and sectors are offering the safest jobs right now, MSN Money spoke with Tim Cook, managing director of the UK's largest recruitment firm - Hays. Of course, no job is guaranteed, but these are his choices for finding the most resilient roles and sectors in a downturn, along with his reasons for these selections.

1. Public services
Teachers, doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals can all benefit from a more secure job environment, which is affected by government expenditure rather than the economy at large. Skill shortages in the public services sector will always fuel demand for high-calibre professionals.

2. Social housing
With the majority of Housing Associations nearing completion of their targets, demand for social housing professionals continues to accelerate across a number of disciplines. The type of role sought varies considerably: accountants, procurement specialists and construction workers, as well as the more traditional housing roles, such as maintenance and rent collection.

3. Oil and gas
World reliance on oil and gas makes this a resilient sector for a range of professionals. Demand for commercial staff, reservoir engineers and design and maintenance engineering professionals is buoyant. Newly-qualified accountants are also competing hard to work in the sector, which is not surprising for an industry that offers first-class pay and benefits packages as well as excellent career opportunities.

4. Risk and compliance
Risk and compliance recruitment has surged as corporate governance continues to dominate the business agenda. The days of deregulation are over and the government, along with the FSA, has already specified that all financial services institutions will be more closely scrutinised.

5. Internal audit
In times of financial uncertainty, the internal auditor has an even more important role to play and this has never been recognised more than during a downturn. Job opportunities have naturally been affected, but this remains an in-demand profession. In light of lessons learned during the financial crisis, it is likely that internal auditors will top the list of desirables when recruitment levels start to pick up again.

6. Insurance
Hays is seeing a sharp increase in the demand for senior-level candidates in the insurance sector. People typically look to increase and renew their policies in times of financial unrest. There is demand for all classes of underwriters and a strong requirement for sales account executives.

7. Credit control
Credit controllers will benefit in a downturn as people look to mitigate the risks of non-payment, late payments and the opening of new accounts. As companies seek to maintain a healthy cash flow, the role of the credit manager remains in the spotlight.

8. Purchasing
As organisations focus on cost management, experienced purchasing and procurement professionals are much sought after across both the public and private sectors as companies increasingly recognise the benefits of an effective purchasing team.

9. Nuclear energy
The government has recognised that nuclear energy will have to play a part in our future to ensure the UK can reduce carbon emissions and secure energy supplies. Those nuclear plants that have been decommissioned will now need to be reinstated and there is a severe shortage of engineers with the necessary skills to do this. Civil engineers will be able to transfer their skills to this industry and opportunities are likely to be rife in the future.

10. HR
There is a strong interim market for human resources (HR) professionals, especially in the fields of change management, employee relations, talent management and reward roles, as organisations review their career development and pay structures. Smaller businesses are rationalising their teams with a shift in favour of general rather than specialist HR skills.

Brown Kor

Gordon Brown

I came into politics to help people out of unemployment, to help people who were poor by building an economy that was confident and strong to weather this storm. I believe that the action we have taken to help people in work stay in work, to help people who lose their jobs get jobs again ... is the way to do it

Rest in Peace, Kugan

Big news in malaysia

Suspected car thief A Kugan, 22, died five days after being arrested by police in Subang Jaya this week, and his family is claiming he was tortured in a case which has set off an emotional response from an Indian community which has grown suspicious of alleged police victimisation.

the Attorney-General have classified this case as murder after protest from the people after seeing the pictures of Kugan's body. His body show physical injury but the medical reports rules him death as having liquid in liver or some shits. I dont know how true is that since the AG classified it as murder.

I hope this case can be solved asap. Nobody knows what really happen but if police manipulate the death of Kugan and justice is not uphold. i expect serious damage to the reputation of the police ( which i suppose been seriously damage by high serious crime rate , ridiculous comments , ISA arrests and inconsistent judgement on mass movements - esp favourable treatment towards Anti israel or pro Muslim mass gathering.

Below is an interesting comment by Malaysia Kini reader which i will bet 100% of my money on the outcome of this big case!!!

Let me make a prediction. Kugan’s second post-mortem will be inconclusive, his family will protest and a long court case will follow. All the while, his alleged murderers will be pushing pens while on ‘desk duty’. And the government will continue promising a thorough and impartial investigation.

If the case ever goes on trial, it will be hampered by long and mind-boggling technicalities. People will get tired of reading it, interest will slowly fade and the memory of A Kugan will only live on the minds of those who knew him. Six months from now, who will remember him?

Sadly, this has happened so many times in our country. Why would this case be any different? The life of an average Malaysian has become chillingly cheap. All we can do now is protect ourselves as it seems like the very people who are tasked with protecting us have become our biggest enemies.

My view on China

As a businessman - China will make businessman super rich . The market and growth is enormous. With the right opportunity and connection, to become rich would be an understatement. This observation comes from my visit to Chong qing, South west China. People were driving big saloon cars, dozens of BMW X5 , BMW 7 series, AUDI A6 like Malaysian Proton on the road, dozens of branded goods and entertainment spots, £70 pounds for night club entry,

As a middle class family in China - good money, but aim send their single children to overseas for education and possible settlement. Not happy with the government's bad policy and implementation , but they have not say in it.

As a middle class tourist from overseas - China is beautiful and offers lots of cultural, history and natural environment exprience

As a working professional used to modern management system - Tough life with China's over emphasis on connection / relationship reliance in the working system. High power hold by top management and disregard to company or country's regulation is difficult to work. But this problem is irrelevant if you can drink lots of alcohol and smoke tons of cigarretes.

As a person who cant read chinese - Bad experience to visit Book store in China!

Milk from China

Picked from BBC.co.uk

At Sanlu's headquarters, in the grimy city of Shijiazhuang, most of the signs have been removed from company buildings.
The large Chinese characters are missing; only the skeletal frame remains.
But the company slogan still stands tall. "Make quality milk products, serve the people", it proclaims in Chinese and English.
Sanlu, and its executives, failed on both counts.

Court papers showed that the company first began receiving complaints of children becoming sick after drinking its milk, back in December 2007.
Sanlu was slow to react, but by May 2008 it knew the milk it was selling was poisonous. Still the milk kept flowing, and it was only until the company's foreign partner blew the whistle that production stopped, and the arrests started.

Parents were horrified. Sanlu was one of the country's most trusted brands - its pack came with an official seal of approval.
Some 300,000 children became sick, and at least six died, because of kidney stones and complications, caused by the toxic chemical melamine. As the scale of the problem became apparent, anger spread.

It was only four years since the last baby-milk scandal, when at least 13 children died after being fed fake baby powder that had no nutritional value. They died of malnutrition - their swollen bellies disguising that they were starving to death.
Then, as now, the government promised action, and pledged that such a thing would never happen again.

Even with today's verdicts - two sentenced to death and Sanlu's boss imprisoned for life - few parents feel that justice has been done.


Liu Donglin, the father of one child made sick from drinking contaminated milk, said: "They got the penalty they deserved, but I feel sorry about this whole affair.

"I think they are scapegoats. The milk producers' association and the people in charge of checking the milk should also be punished."
It emerged that melamine was being added routinely to milk across China. And it wasn't just Sanlu - in all, 22 companies were selling contaminated milk.
But not a single government official or health inspector has been charged with wrongdoing. And only Sanlu's executives have been prosecuted.

The scandal led to product recalls across the globe, and further damaged China's reputation for producing safe and reliable products.
