The Hippocratic Oath

You may read about the oath here, but I would like to comment the video.

I watch this video yesterday, and the robber probably bled to death getting his major blood vessels hit by the bullet(s). Kudos for the police to bring him down for the safety of the public. I could not agree less, but shooting him down may be the best option to stop him - at that moment.

However when I saw the robber was pleading to be saved, I reckon he deserved the right to be salvaged. As a human, I disagree that this is the way to deal with the injured person, and leaving him to die is totally inhumane.

I am not blaming the police per say. The crowd were busy recording "the moment" instead of calling the ambulance or do necessary thing to stop the bleed. Sigh.

Some people may say that when he decided to rob, he was giving up human rights. Well, that is something that the court should handle with, and could only happen if the robber were saved.

But, this is only my judgement based on what I saw in the video. You may agree to disagree.

88 Pakatan reps skip briefing at Parliament

This is among the perks and perils when the Govt has shrunk their majority in the Parliament. Sigh.
Even though the first meeting is avoidable, I strongly disagree with the action by the opposition members.
Please play your role as MPs of the people and get back to work for the benefit of people who have voted you in.

MP Bakri wakil tunggal Pakatan ke taklimat Parlimen

Hazlan Zakaria 11:30AM Jun 11 2013

Seramai 88 daripada 89 ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat gagal untuk hadir dalam sesi taklimat mengenai tempat duduk dan isu-isu lain di Parlimen pagi ini.

Menurut Speker Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, hanya seorang sahaja ahli parlimen dari pembangkang yang hadir pada sesi taklimat tersebut iaitu Ahli Parlimen Bakri dari DAP, Er Teck Hwa. 

"Kita mengamalkan demokrasi. Orang yang datang, datang. Yang tidak datang, tidak datang.

"Saya menganggap semua yang tidak hadir mempunyai alasan mereka tersendiri dan bukan untuk memboikot," katanya dalam sidang media selepas sesi taklimat tersebut. 

Pandikar juga menjelaskan bahawa kehadiran bagi sesi pagi ini adalah tidak wajib. 

"(Sesi) ini adalah untuk Ahli Parlimen yang baru. Bagi yang senior, mereka akan hadir jika mereka menghormati tempat di mana mereka bekerja. Tetapi kita faham yang ada sesetengah daripada mereka mempunyai alasan kenapa mereka tidak datang," katanya lagi. 

Beliau bagaimanapun berkata, ketidakhadiran ahli parlimen tersebut akan menjadikan perkara lebih rumit kerana mereka perlu mengambil tempahan untuk baju uniform serta memohon kad pengenalan ahli parlimen. 

A sacred message from the Superfoxes.

This is my respond.

I read the latest entry from BTB's blog (http://biotechnologist-to-be.blogspot.com) yesterday. I personally think that the idea of creating a travelling fund for BTB group members (and their extended members) is simply awesome.

It is just too good to be imagined that each and everyone can spend quality times togather in any selected places in the near future. Oh, I just can't stop thinking K and F playing with wallabies on one of the houseboat's stoppage point in Hawkesbury River.

I totally agreed with Yati and Kak Opie. Ever since we graduated and started working, we have been slowly sculpting our lives around each other. No matter how far or how close we get, we always find ways to do something together, like brothers and sisters, or Superfoxes and Uberfoxes.

For the record, most of our "get-along" activivities were conducted locally, in Malaysia. Since will be setting up our own "piggy bank", it would be better if we plan for an oversea trip as for one of our next class "excursion".

I always interested to discover the north, so Seam Reap, and Harbin would be the best choice in my preference. However, the onus to choose the best place to visited is not on me, so I left it to everyone's consideration - as long as I can't take good photos. Hehehe.

My dear Superfoxes, please count me (D and the kids too) in! We are so into this :)

Genius!

Be creative man!

Seniwati Latifah Omar meninggal dunia

9:53AM Jun 10 2013

Seniwati Latifah Omar, 74, meninggal dunia di Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM) petang Ahad kerana sakit usus.

Menurut anak sulungnya, Afendi Rahmat, 55, Allahyarham sebelum ini menjalani rawatan di sebuah pusat perubatan di Kampung Baru sebelum dibawa ke PPUKM untuk menjalani pembedahan kerana sakit ususnya itu.

"Doktor maklumkan bahawa usus arwah membengkak dan tersumbat dan perlu dibedah untuk menjadikan keadaannya stabil.

"Pembedahan yang dilakukan semalam cuba menstabilkan ibu tetapi tidak berjaya, dan Allahyarham meninggal dunia pada 6.19 petang," katanya ketika ditemui Bernama di Masjid Al-Khairiah AU3 malam tadi.

Menurutnya, antara pesanan terakhir arwah ialah supaya jenazahnya dibawa ke masjid itu untuk disempurnakan. Jenazah dijangka dikebumikan Tanah Perkuburan Islam AU4 pada 11 pagi esok.

Allahyarham Latifah, yang meninggalkan empat anak dan lapan cucu, ketika sakit sering dikunjungi rakan seperjuangan yang tidak putus-putus memberi doa dan sokongan, kata Afendi.

Sementara itu, sepupu arwah, Zalimah Nordin, 64, berkata Latifah pernah berpesan supaya saudara terdekat yang tinggal di kawasan AU3 menjaganya ketika tenat.

Latifah, legenda filem Melayu yang sepanjang kariernya sering digandingkan dengan seniman Nordin Ahmad, meninggal dunia tidak sampai seminggu selepas rakan seangkatannya Allahyarham S.Shamsuddin meninggal dunia di Singapura akibat sakit tua dan paru-paru berair.

Arwah membintangi filem klasik yang diminati ramai seperti Panggilan Pulau, Bawang Putih Bawang Merah, Laila Majnun, Putus Sudah Kasih Sayang, Gurindam Jiwa, Hang Jebat dan Hati Batu.

Selain Nordin, Latifah diberi peluang berlakon di sisi pelakon hebat pada masa itu antaranya Tan Sri P.Ramlee, Normadiah, Yusof Latif, Saleh Kamil, S. Shamsudin, Siti Tanjung Perak, Omar Rojik, S.Kadarisman dan Ibrahim Pendek.
