The Forest is the Lifeline of the Penans

Penans are categorized into two main groups based on where they live : the Western Penans and the Eastern Penans.

Eastern group : The Penans from Kubaan-Puak Forest Management Unit - they live mainly in Baram and Tutoh regions.

Western group: they live mainly in the Belaga region of Sarawak, Malaysia.

This indigenous people of Sarawak used to live by the following nomadic culture:

• Do not have permanent settlements,
• Do not farm, living mainly by foraging forest resources.

Nevertheless, as of today, only a small group of Penans are nomadic.

Bill Gates Found His Heaven

Bill Gates, Microsoft founder, once world richest man is now working part-time for Microsoft; at least that was how he described his commitment to Microsoft as chairman for the time being.

He refuted the talks of him going back to Microsoft to invigorate the business again, reassured that the foundation which he and his wife setup will be his mission at least till the near future.

The foundation is currently head-on a mission to completely eradicate polio. According to Gates, it is possible and the world has accomplished this feat once when smallpox was brought to extinction in the 1970s.

“Polio’s pretty special because once you get an eradication you no longer have to spend money on it; it’s just there as a gift for the rest of time," said Gates

Another interesting mission he has embarked on is to encourage a reality that all human being will live to the fullest potential and having equal opportunities for success. Is this possible with the capitalism economy ? I don't think so. Yet Gates defiant through his ideas that technology and innovation can help to achieve this goal. Check out Gates' lecture on BBC’s Dimbleby Lecture.

“It doesn’t relate to any particular religion; it’s about human dignity and equality,” he says. “The golden rule that all lives have equal value and we should treat people as we would like to be treated.”

Gates admitted that money isn't important anymore. He just needed to have the necessity to carry on his daily life for his works and his family.For the rest of his 95% of wealth will be spent through foundation and will be used up by the time he and his wife moved on to the next life.

Kidney Transplant Recipients Feel Grateful For Her Life

When Lim Chu Ee was 10 years old, she suffered a viral fever, which left her weak and unable to lead a normal life. Little did she realise that it would be a life changing experience. Enrolled into a Chinese school, and enjoying her life as a school girl, with many friends and a happy family, it was an earth shattering experience to be informed by her doctor that her kidneys had failed as a result of the illness.

Out of the blue in 1996, her parents received a phone call requesting them to make a trip to KL as a child had died and the parents were willing to donate her kidneys. Lim and her parents made the journey, hoping for good news and they were not disappointed. Lim was one of the lucky recipients and the other kidney went to another school girl, known only to Lim as 'Haslina' They became good friends over the 3 months hospitalized in HKL.

Steve Jobs Passed On

I am saddened :(

Steve Jobs (1955-2011), had passed on on 5 Oct 2011.

Steve was a gift to the world, his life carries many messages. Chief amongst them is that if you come from humble beginning, you worked hard, you struggled, you can make it.

Life is not without compromises and making difficult decisions. Every steps taken are associated with certain risks and costs and passion will be your ultimate business partner.

We must not forget that life is short, so short that we often forgotten that we are vulnerable to many things and illnesses spare no one. On that note, appreciating every moment of our life is important, appreciating every person around us is equally important and appreciating that the next second is of top most importance.

To Steve Jobs, you have always inspired me and in my opinion, you were the greatest marketeer in the world.

We are not personal friend, you are my idol.

May peace be with you.

Can we move on beyond the C.I.M.B ?

Refer to 'Start of Lim’s Malay dilemma'

I am in my 30s now, and I have heard this same old story for over 20 years, perhaps even more than that. It is just same old.

Can we move beyond the C.I.M.B ?

The was a joke that the CIMB Bank was formed by 3 Malaysians, and they go by the name of Chin_a,Ind_iana and Mal_ik.

So, they call the bank as CIM Bank.

On a serious note, Malaysia is still same old.

NKF Spent RM 81,120.00 From Jan-April 2011 to Provide 100% Subsidy on Dialysis Treatment

Taken from NKF Shared Issue 2 2011 (PP9314/08/2001 (028834)).

Life has not been a bed of roses for LIm as a result of a bad accident in 2007, which injured his kidneys and left him jobless.

There are many patients such as Lim who need help on a daily basis, many lose their jobs when they are on dialysis and without financial assistance it would be impossible for them to afford dialysis while managing their families.

NKF Spent RM 81,120.00 From Jan-April 2011 to Provide 100% Subsidy on Dialysis Treatment for our hard core poor patients.

Makna : Life Goes On

Taken from Makna Neoplasia Issues 01/2011

It has been 15 years since the cancer diagnosis. Although her initial doctors could not promise her anything, her determination and strength has allowed her to survive. When she was first diagnosed, her children were very young. Although she never said much, I sensed that she fought her cancer as she was unwilling to miss out the growing years of her children. Due to her determination, my sister not only bought up her three kids, witnessed the marriage of her two children and today is a happy grandmother to her grand-daughter and is hanging on strongly on every thread as to see her youngest daughter who is her precious caregiver to be married off soon. - Shanti Michael (shanti.michael@hotmail.com)
