诚邀出席“还我公民权，争取投票权！――砂州原住民权利现况影片分享暨交流会”
又称“犀鸟之乡”的砂拉越，面积约124.450平方公里，约有240万人，由23个族群所组成，境内约1/3居民皆为原住民。依当地国民登记局的惊人数据，这个我国最大的州属竟有约6万6千名原住民还不具备身份证或报生纸等足以证明其公民身份的证件。
这种情况何以发生？试想，在陆路交通不发达的砂拉越，前往美里国民登记局处理申请手续，每人单趟就必须花至少100令吉，对处于赤贫线下的原住民是难以想象的沉重负担。
他们因为不懂填写样式复杂的表格，反复申请十多次，仍未获得报生纸或身份证。不少人因申请费用昂贵，干脆放弃申请。
州内国民登记局规定，在婴孩出生后的首14天内申请报生纸，并不需要交申请费。可是从第15天至42天内申请，则需要缴交5令吉费用。若超出43天，则必须缴交10令吉。
至于无法如期申请身份证者，罚锾更重，从20令吉起跳，最高可达200令吉。许多毫无收入的内陆原住民根本付不起这样的手续费和罚款。
曾几何时，他们在这块土地上与世无争，经历国阵政府近半世纪的统治下，原住民社群族丰富独特的历史文化与生存空间日益受威胁，污名化、文化断层、母语流失等困境从未停止；公民权、投票权、文化教育权，对他们而言，更是遥不可及的梦。在同一个马来西亚的苍穹下，请大家一起来关心他们的权利现况！

We can Ban the Book.. but the World is Reading It.
We ban the book written by Barry Wain about some ‘facts’ about ex-PM? So how did it come along with? The book did mention something 100 Billion loses of national treasure, but what the real story is? Isn’t that people’s right to have a look, and if the story is just invention, why not Dr. M come out and clear his name? Why not we sit down and discuss openly to make things clearer?
The whole world might be reading, but we as the group of people that most involved are not able to have a peek. If the information in the book is so wrong, why not let us people find out the truth and tell the world what written in the book is just nonsense.
Anyhow, book can be banned, but information is not. If anybody having a kindle reader, he can just download a electronic copy from Amazon. At the same time, guess what, the book is hot selling in our neighbor Singapore. Guess how many of the purchase are Malaysian.
Example of Tougher Life.. Version 2010
Location: Fraser Hill (A famous highland resorts settlement in Pahang, near the border of Selangor).
Main character: Mid-age Malay Makcik
Nature of Complaint:
1. She has few children which the youngest studying down the hill in a secondary school near Raub.
2. The child staying in hostel to avoid intensive travelling, despite the fact that the road up and down the hill isn’t that great condition and sometimes could be extremely dangerous in the dark.
3. For past years the child only come back home once a month with weekends staying in school.
4. Starting this year, due to reduction in subsidy to the students, the children are sent home every week, unless the parents were to pay RM 8 a day for the children to stay in school during weekends.
5. Either way, the burden for the parent had increased. In average she need to have extra budget of RM 48 a month if she continue to put the kid in school during weekend. For her to bring the kid back every weekend, she has to travel down more frequently which increase her expenses as well.
I Think That’s Interesting… Thanks to Who that Took the Photo.
“Malaysians making an Everest over an ant hill when our neighbour, which is the most populous Islamic nation in the world, has once more shown that we are putting our real problems aside to deal with minor little issues.”
Since ‘Allah itu kasih’, He should wish we live in peace rather than quarrel over trivial issues. If we are damn brave fighters, fight for the well being of men kind.

讲师简介：
在大学时期修读经济与哲学，毕业后在一间私立学院任教三年。现于一间资金管理公司任职，负责宏观经济策略与东南亚股市的户头管理。
课程简介：
聪明的投资不止是一系列的规则，而是一种思考方式。欲作出投资决策，我们需根据根本与哲学的视角去了解微观与宏观的世界运作的方式。最成功的投资者被驱使的，是对人类社会及其环境的了解，而非贪念与恐惧。
这项短期课程将有四课。首两课将讨论较抽象的哲学与投资概念，并将应用这些概念以了解复杂的人类社会。后两课将着重在投资领域上的实践。
第一课：主要概念的简介
科学哲学，进化生物学，心理计算理论，实用主义，有限理性，因果关系，相关计算理论，契合，实验，信息不对称，光环效应，自反性，错误难免，风险，不确定性，统计分布，网络理论，复杂的系统，游戏理论
第二课：了解世界的运作
我将使用第一课介绍的一些概念，试图解释我们的现在和过去人类社会活动的某些关键现象。
第三课：实践哲学家可以战胜市场吗？
对聪明的投资者而言，答案是显而易见的。我会尝试从巴菲特和索罗斯等成功投资者过去的行动中辩解如何可以达到。
第四课：人类社会如何从哲学取向的投资方式中获益？
最后一课，我将比较大胆地尝试印证这种投资方法，可以如何改善人类的生活条件。一些例子包括：比尔和梅林达盖茨基金会所做的慈善工作。
