Please take note......

Prevention is better than to get into any unnecessary mess!

CHECK YOUR PASSPORT especially in Kuala L_mp_r Int. Airport.

You have no chance. These groups of M_l_y Civil Servants can do
anything to you however vigilant you choose to be. This is the time of
crook.

Please be Careful at the Airports. This is a well organized conspiracy
by Immigration, Police, Customs and Airline staff with networking at
all International Airports. Be careful when ever you hand over your
passport to the Immigration/Customs/Airline staff. The passport can be
easily tampered with and that can create trouble to you. They have
found an easy way of making easy money. This is the way it works:

At the time of the passenger's departure, if the passenger is not
looking at the officer while he is stamping the exit chop on the
passport, the officer very cleverly tears off one of the page from the
passport. The bastard usually tears off the page with the visa stamped
on it from your passport. When the passenger leaves the immigration
counter, the case is reported on his computer terminal with full
details. Now all over the country they have got full details of the
passenger with Red Flag flashing on the Passport number entered by the
departure immigration officer. YOU ARE NOW A MARKED MAN!!! They have
made their money by doing above.

On arrival next time, he is detained and interrogated. They will then
accused him of tampering with the passport. Subject to the passenger's
period of stay abroad, his income and standing etc., the price to get
rid of (settle) the problem is “fixed” by the Police and Immigration
people. If someone argues, they will give you hell and bring MORE
charges against you. You will NEVER get any justice, especially in
Malaysia where the civil servants who are mainly Malays. They have a
sick reputation of such unethical corrupt practices.

Please advise every passenger to be careful at the airports. Whenever
they hand over the passport to the counters of Airlines or immigration
or the customs, they must be vigilant, always keep their eyes on their
passports even if the officer in front of them tries to divert their
attention.

Also, please pass this information to all friends, media men and
important politicians. Every month dozens of cases are happening in
KLIA and all over the world to rob the unsuspecting passenger the
minute he lands.

A similar case happened with Aramco's Arifuddin in Pakistan . He was
travelling with his family. They had six passports. They got the visa
of America and decided to go via Jeddah. When they reached the States,
the page of the American visa on his wife's passport was missing. At
the time of departure from Pakistan it was there, the whole family had
to return helplessly. On arrival at Pakistan , they were arrested by
the police at the airport. It is over 2 months now and they are
running after the Police, Immigration officers and the Courts. One
simply cannot imagine neither believe, that the Immigration dept can
play such a nasty game to harass the innocent passengers.

All the airlines passengers must be aware of this conspiracy. Every
month dozens of cases are taking place, at each mentioned airport, of
detaining the passengers for the crime of tearing away the passport
pages and tampering with an official travel document. On interviewing
some of them, none of them was aware of what had happened. They don't
know why, when and who tore away the page from the middle of the
passport. One can imagine the sufferings of such people at the hands
of the immigration, police and the court procedures after that. The
number of cases has increased in the last 2-3 years. People who are
arriving at the immigration, are detained and questioned. Their
passports are being held and they have to go in for detailed
interrogation. Obviously, the conspiracy started about 2 to 3 years
ago, now the consequences are coming. Some of the Airline counter
staff too are also involved in this conspiracy.

SO MAKE SURE NOT TO LET THE PASSPORT GO OFF YOUR SIGHT EVEN FOR A
SECOND. THE IMMIGRATION COUNTERS ARE HIGH AND TIRED AND SHORT
PASSENGERS REALLY HAVE TO WORK HARD TO KEEP THE PASSPORT IN SIGHT,
SPEACIALLY AFTER THE EXHAUSTING JOURNEY, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET OVER
WITH THE AIRPORT FORMALITIES AND GO HOME. SO BEING VIGILANT FOR AN
EXTRA MINUTE WILL SAVE YOU A LIFE TIME OF MISERY. WISH YOU THE BEST OF
LUCK IN YOUR TRAVELS.

REMEMBER: WITH CONDITIONS AT PRESENT IN MALAYSIA ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
IN THIS LAND OF THE PURE GREED AND CORRUPTION. IT IS VERY SAD INDEED.

PLEASE SEND THIS TO AS MANY OF YOUR INTENDING TRAVELLERS AND FRIENDS
ACROSS THE WORLD AND ADVISE THEM TO CHECK THE PASSPORT AT THE CHECKING
COUNTERS AND BEFORE LEAVING THE AIRPORT.

I think at least have a full photo copy of Passport and keep scan of
your passport in your hard drive or flash memory and I will advise
same for ticket also.

How to kill mosquitoes with Listerine - NO JOKE

My friend's evidence: Listerine is effective in driving away mosquitoes.

  How to kill mosquitoes with Listerine - NO JOKE

I have a mozzie problem at home.  They come out at dusk to feed and also in the night when I'm asleep.  This  method works.  I spray on cotton pads and put them around my sofa in the evening and the mozzies don't come.  I also spray on towels and put them on my bed and the mozzies dont bite at night.

 

I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next day  I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well.. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it....Pass it on. OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.

Beware Employees Who Boast About Multitasking

Those who claim to be best at multitasking are actually the worst at it, a new study says.

If you've ever worked in a large organization, you're probably already familiar with the Dunning-Kruger effect even if you don't know the psychological term for the phenomenon. The immortal words of philosopher Bertrand Russell sum it up nicely: "the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt."

Or, to put it in the modern parlance, idiots don't know they're idiots, and the most skilled are generally also the most self-critical. You've probably observed this effect in many domains (driving and management maybe), but science recently added another entry to the roster of areas where people are often dangerously deluded.

Know that guy who claims to be a multitasking ninja? Yeah, in reality he's probably abysmal at it.

explosion due to sprayed of insect killer

received this useful tip from a friend...

Let this not happen to Anyone

This could be a common mistake in any household. This shocking accident happened on 13th May 2012 in Pune , India . A housewife died due to burns sustained in the kitchen. Her husband too was hospitalised for injuries due to burns while trying to rescue his wife. How it happened:

The gas stove was on and cooking in progress. The lady observed some cockroaches near the sink and grabbed a can of insect killer and sprayed it near the gas stove, which was on. There was an explosion and in no time the poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns. Her husband rushed in, tried to put out the flames and his clothes too caught fire. The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward, still unaware that his wife was declared dead on arrival. Let us understand: - All insect killer sprays such as "Hit", "Mortein" etc. have highly volatile and inflammable solvents. The atomized nano spray particles spread very rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air.

Please educate your family & Friends about this and spread the word around....

Don’t Keep this mail in your inbox. Please share... who knows you may save more than a life... I just did my part.

Pineapple Facts

Quite a bit of “interesting news to me”—maybe to you also!

A Simple Pineapple - MUST Read

The pineapple is a member of the bromeliad family.
It is extremely rare that bromeliads produce edible fruit. The pineapple is
the only available edible bromeliad today.

It is a multiple fruit. One pineapple is actually made up of dozens of
individual floweret's that grow together to form the entire fruit. Each
scale on a pineapple is evidence of a separate flower.

Pineapples stop ripening the minute they are picked.
No special way of storing them will help ripen them further.
Colour is relatively unimportant in determining ripeness.
Choose your pineapple by smell.If it smells fresh, tropical and

sweet, it will be a good fruit.

The more scales on the pineapple, the sweeter and juicier the taste.

After you cut off the top, you can plant it.
It should grow much like a sweet potato will.

This delicious fruit is not only sweet and tropical; it also offers many
benefits to our health. Pineapple is a remarkable fruit.

We find it enjoyable because of its lush, sweet and exotic flavor, but it
may also be one of the most healthful foods available today.
If we take a more detailed look at it, we will find that pineapple is
valuable for easing indigestion, arthritis or sinusitis.

The juice has an anthelmintic effect; it helps get rid of intestinal worms.

Let's look at how pineapple affects other conditions.

Pineapple is high in manganese, a mineral that is critical to development of
strong bones and connective tissue. A cup of fresh pineapple will give you nearly 75% of the recommended daily amount.

It is particularly helpful to older adults, whose bones tend to become
brittle with age.

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme, is the key to pineapple's value.
Proteolytic means "breaks down protein", which is why pineapple is known to
be a digestive aid. It helps the body digest proteins more efficiently.
Bromelain is also considered an effective anti-inflammatory.

Regular ingestion of at least one half cup of fresh pineapple daily is
purported to relieve painful joints common to osteoarthritis. It also produces mild pain relief.

In Germany, bromelain is approved as a post-injury medication because it is
thought to reduce inflammation and swelling.

Orange juice is a popular liquid for those suffering from a cold because it
is high in Vitamin C. Fresh pineapple is not only high in this vitamin, but because of the Bromelain, it has the ability to reduce mucous in the throat.
If you have a cold with a productive cough, add pineapple to your diet.
It is commonly used in Europe as a post-operative measure to cut mucous
after certain sinus and throat operations.

Those individuals who eat fresh pineapple daily report fewer sinus problems
related to allergies. In and of itself, pineapple has a very low risk for allergies.

Pineapple is also known to discourage blood clot development. This makes

it a valuable dietary addition for frequent fliers and others who may be at risk for blood clots.

An old folk remedy for morning sickness is fresh pineapple juice.
it really works! Fresh juice and some nuts first thing in the morning often
make a difference.

It's also good for a healthier mouth. The fresh juice discourages plaque growth.
