Living on the tree branch
While I was still young, most of my contacts who were of the West of the country thought that we in the East used to live up on the tree branches. Hmmm... Once, I remembered that my supervisor before coming to Sarawak, he told me that he packed several boxes of Instant Noodles , lease he thought we Sarawakians really lived on the tree branches.... how stupid of him? These thought suddenly came into my mind when my friend sent me this email this morning and actually in my blog link : Hornbill Unleashed .... Is Sarawak still so backward and needed a foreigner CEO to look after our energy sectors? I supposed the government produced many Engineers from within the country ( many universities nationally ) and abroad ... Where have all those brained guys gone? How come the head of the Petronas can be a local Malaysian and we do well and not the Sarawak Energy which is even so much minor to Petronas need a foreigner????? Do we still have such image of living on the tree branch???? Read it for yourself ........... http://hornbillunleashed.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/5515/

Dangers of Car Air-conditioning
Few days back, as I was parking my car near the Telecoms office, besides me parked a car with the engine on. Curiously, I peeped to see and found 3 little children inside without any adult. After half an hour out from the Telecoms office, the car with the kids was still there and found no trace of the parents. I tried to look at them and found the kids with sweat and uneasy on themselves. One of them started to bite whatever he got hold of. I almost wanted to report to the police and just thought might be the parents are busy or whatsoever......and did not give them more trouble la ...... and walked off.... I wonder what kind of the parents are such to leave the kids (eldest barely about 6 years of age) in the public for that span of time under the hot sun....
and under such condition with the car engine and air-cond on. This prompted me to think of the email which I received and would like to paste here in the blog for readers to read.
No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents. Hmmm. Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week. As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill. Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess its not too late to make some changes

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.
Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.
Here's why:
According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin
(carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).
In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.
Can also cause miscarriage.
Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.
If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.
People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.
Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.
So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give time for interior to air out -dispel the deadly stuff - before you enter.
