Give and Take

You have visited 15Malaysia? If not, I want to recommend you to watch this one.

Of course, the rest of the short films are good too. But this is just so special not because it is the art of late Yasmin Ahmad, I find it so special because I learn to see it more in depth, after listening to Tian Chua in the sharing event of 1 Malaysia，15 Films.

At the end of the story, the most important lesson learnt is, why not we give in a bit if our friends come short of something, no matter what race they are? Of course, when things go too extreme, it become unacceptable. But if it is just a matter of 5 cent, why not just tolerant?

Companies Preparing for Recovery?

Is that a good sign if you see that companies are more actively hiring new people? I am not sure about other industry, maybe you can provide your feedback to help us see clearer picture.

Being job seeker sometimes, I do have my account with Jobstreet and set up the Job Alert function. Just recently I found that the alert email becoming longer than some time earlier.

I am not sure whether this is a good sign, which signifies that Malaysian economy is getting better and the firms are preparing for another round of good demand. Of course, what I am seeing here is more towards IT or related industry. It may not be equalized to others. However, maybe the small change here can be some clue to the overall market. What is your opinion?

A friend’s email shared with us information about this great invention that saves a lot of life. It leads me to visit the website of the company who produce it. Try visit the company website and by filling a short survey, the company promise to donate one unit of either their Life-Straw or Permanet (Insecticidal Net) product to those needed in the world’s poorest countries.

We Had Lost 1.5 Mil

As you may heard, there was a massive jam on LDP yesterday morning starting around 7 o’clock. It was due to a burst pipe somewhere near Puchong Gateway. The congestion lasted till around 11 o’clock in the morning. The queue was very long and if assume there were 50K cars jammed for 1 hour each. During the 1 hour, the car may had run extra petrol of 10 ringgit, then it was 500K extra spending on petrol for the day, or extra sales for petrol station for the day. Due to delay to the office, say each person worth 20 ringgit per hour, the productivity lost can be said to hit 1 million. In total, we had lost 1.5 million for the morning.
