Minyak Petrol Naik RM3.15 Hujung Bulan Ini
Terkejut aku bila dapat e-mail dari wife aku dan aku terus check link kat Bernama. Dan dalam Bernama online tu, tertulis tarikh 12 Jun, 2008 20:53 PM (waktu berita itu di posting dalam web). Kalau betol ler nak naik lagi, memang masak semasaknyer ler penduduk Malaysia ni. Aku rasa mau merusuh seluruh rakyat jelata dan mungkin boleh digulingkan pemerintahan, macam kat Thailand nanti... walau apa pun... check this news.
PUTRAJAYA, 12 Jun (Bernama) -- Kerajaan mungkin terpaksa menetapkan harga runcit bahan api yang lebih tinggi daripada RM2.70 bagi petrol dan RM2.58 bagi diesel berkuatkuasa Khamis lepas, jika ia tidak menstrukturkan sistem subsidi bahan bakar.
Ini kerana harga minyak mentah global meningkat kepada AS$138 setong dua hari selepas itu.
Tanpa sistem subsidi baru yang ditetapkan pada 30 sen, kerajaan mungkin terpaksa menetapkan harga pada RM3.15 seliter untuk petrol, kata Menteri Kewangan Kedua Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
Menurut beliau semasa kerajaan mengumumkan harga baru petrol, harga tanpa subsidi ialah RM3.00 seliter dan dengan subsidi harganya RM2.70 seliter iaitu kurang 30 sen.
Pada 4 Jun, kerajaan mengumumkan harga petrol dan diesel masing-masing meningkat 78 sen dan RM1 seliter.
"Namun pada Jumaat, dua hari selepas pengumuman harga baru, harga dipasaran naik sehingga US$178 setong. Berasaskan pada harga itu, harga tanpa subsidi sekarang ialah 3.45 sen," katanya pada taklimat media mengenai Bajet 2009 hari Khamis.
"Harga dah naik, jadi kalau kita tidak buat apa-apa dan kekalkan sistem subsidi. Hujung bulan kita terpaksa umumkan harga minyak pada RM3.15 sen seliter," katanya sambil menambah jumlah subsidi akan meningkat ketahap RM33 bilion.
Nor Mohamed berkata tanpa penstrukturan semula, kerajaan mengunjurkan jumlah subsidi dari Jun hingga Disember 2008 sebanyak RM10 bilion, manakala bagi lima bulan pertama 2008, jumlah subsidi meningkat kepada RM8 bilion.
Menurutnya jumlah hasil kerajaan dari semua sumber hanya RM147 bilion dan daripada jumlah itu, RM33 bilion harus dikeluarkan daripada bajet untuk memberi subsidi kepada syarikat-syarikat minyak kerana mereka telah diminta menjual minyak pada tahap yang rendah.

Kerja... Kerja... Kerja... Part II
1. Gambar Bangunan Sultan Abd Samad. Gambar tu, aku saja-saja ambil, saja nak tgk cemana, dan aku rasa masih macam takder tarikan pun pada gambar yang aku ambik tu. kira macam takder 'x' factor untuk orang suka tengok. kalau otai-otai (i.e Chot) nak komen silakan...
2. Pelantar Minyak. Gambar ni aku ambik masa aku pergi pelantar tu. Pelantar tu dinamakan E11 Complex yang terletak di perairan Bintulu Sarawak. Gambar tu aku ambil masa dah dekat dengan pelantar dah, sebab mode transport kitaorang dari darat ke pelantar tu naik 'fast crew boat'. Naik boat tu dalam 7 - 8 jam.
3. Gambar kat salah satu 'bridge' yang ada di pelantar tu.
4. Pandangan pelantar tu pada waktu malam. Waktu ni, aku dah nak balik darat. Dan yang aku ingat, perjalanan bermula kol 10.00 malam dari pelantar tu dan sampai ke darat jam 6.00 pagi. Masa tu, aku dah tak sempat nak sahur sebab tak sedar, tertidur dalam bot tu. Kalau tak tidur, boleh muntah hijau aku. hehehe... dan syukur gak ler, walaupun aku tak sahur pagi tu, aku boleh teruskan puasa aku sampai petang.
Dan inilah pengalaman pertama aku berpuasa di pelantar minyak dan pengalaman yang memang tak dapat dilupakan, bila bangun awal pagi, sahur, then puasa... petang berbuka beramai-ramai dengan team yang lain. tapi kerja tetap sama, kena buat 12 jam sehari. itulah "offshore life".

Petronas - A word from Petronas VP Education…
Siang tadi, aku dapat e-mail dari kawan lama yang bekerja di Petronas. Brother ni, aku kenal masa dia masih bekerja kat SKO dulu. So, masa aku ada project di SKO, aku kenal dengan dia, dan sampai sekarang kekadang kontek ler lagi. Bukan apa, sekarang ni dia dah move dalam bidang yang lain sungguh. Tapi still under Petronas. Kalau dulu dia under engineering, tapi sekarang ni lebih kepada development kat twin tower tu.
Dia ada forward kat aku e-mail ni, yang dia perolehi dari VP Petronas Education. Korang fikirlah sendiri, bagaimana dan di mana kebenarannya. Bagi aku, benar apa yang di katakan oleh Petronas tu, dan orang yang cuba menulis, mengajak untuk boikot itu, mungkin orang luar, yang cemburukan kejayaan Petronas yang dalam masa yang tak begitu panjang, tapi boleh maju dan membangun hingga seperti sekarang ni.
Glossary:
SKO = Sarawak Operation.
SKO adalah singkatan untuk Sarawak Operation bagi Syarikat Petronas Carigali untuk membezakan operasi mereka samada di Semenanjung, Sabah atau Sarawak. Untuk Semenanjung, ia dipanggil PMO (Peninsular Malaysia Operation) dan untuk Sabah dipanggil SBO (Sabah Operation).
Do what you like.
The price of gasoline at the petrol station is set by the Government, not PETRONAS.
PETRONAS has done its patriotic duty by paying the dividends, royalties, corporate tax, petroleum tax etc to the Government for YOUR benefit (rakyat lah).
And bear in mind that 30% of its revenue comes from overseas operations, thus bringing in foreign exchange to the country.
OK. Assuming that you buy this idea proposed by whoever it was. So PETRONAS will have reduced revenues. Bear in mind that the costs of operations are also increasing. So the profits are reduced. Then PETRONAS and other oil companies pay less taxes.
Then the Government will have less revenue. (Note: at least 40% of Government revenue for 2007 came from the oil industry). With less revenue, there will be less Government projects (you can then forget about bridges and highways, and rail tracks, and smart schools and not-so-smart universities, and hospitals, etc). So contractors and consultants, and con-sultans and con-cronies will cry and scream. Makan batu lah..
The Government has already announced freezing of recruitment. So, many new graduates will be unemployed. Makan batu lagi. Maggi mee pun tak mampu dah. Later, all sorts of allowances for civil servants will have to be withdrawn. Treasury tak cukup duit.
On top of that the oil industry may have to scale back many of its new investments, totaling about 45 billion ringgit over the next few years. Contractors, service providers, steel fabricators, maritime service providers etc will join the ratapan tangisan – no jobs.
Don’t forget that PETRONAS is sponsoring thousands of students in universities and even high schools – at any one time there are more than 4,500 university students being sponsored by PETRONAS in Malaysian universities and overseas. Also more than 2,000 high school children receive minor scholarships – children of poor families.
Kalau PERTRONAS tak ada duit, kesian lah mereka di atas tu. Shall I ask them to see the proposer of this idea (to boycott PETRONAS) and seek help from them instead?
So, it is to YOUR benefit that you make sure PETRONAS keeps making enough money to support YOUR Government so that your children can continue to go to school without paying for fees and books, and to go to universities at peanuts rates.
CONCLUSION: Help yourself and your family and your country by making sure that PETRONAS keeps making profits. Go to the nearest PETRONAS station and fill up now!!
Don’t forget that if you go to non-Petronas station, the profits that these companies get will go their shareholders OVERSEAS. So, be patriotic. Do your duty. Go to PETRONAS!!
(I hope you guys will help to send this response to as many contacts as possible to counter this subversive proposal).
E-mail dari seseorang... yang bunyi nya seperti cuba menghasut dan mungkin boleh menjatuhkan Petronas. Tapi, kita fikirkan sendiri implikasinya kepada masa depan. Adakah benar ia membantu?
LET'S JUST DO IT ! ! !
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' PETROL FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET PETROL BACK DOWN TO RM1.92 PER Litre....
This was originally sent by Phillip Hollsworth, a retired Coca Cola executive.
If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this winter, take time to read this, PLEASE. Phillip offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day' campaign that was going around last April or May! It is worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!
We are going to hit RM 2.70 a litre and it might go higher!! Want petrol prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at last year's action because they knew we would not continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.
Please read on and join with us! By now, you're probably thinking petrol priced at about $1.50 is cheap. It is currently RM2.70 for regular unleaded. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a liter of gas is CHEAP at $1.50, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace... not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their petrol!
And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't
just stop buying petrol. But we CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY petrol from Petronas the biggest price-up driver company. If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Petronas petrol buyers. It's SO simple! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions and even BILLIONS of people!!
I am sending this note to 20 people.
If each of you sends it on to at least twenty more that's (20 x 20 = 400) .. And those 400 send it to at least twenty more (400 x 20 = 8000 ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the fifth group of people, we will have reached over SIXTY FOUR MILLION consumers!!!!!
20x20 = 400
400x20 = 8,000
8,000x20 = 160,000
160,000x20 = 3,200,000
3,200,000x20 = 64,000,000
64,000,000x20 = 12,800,000,000
That's 12.80 Billion people folks, who will have been contacted!!!!! Unbelievable?? Do the math and see for yourself!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 20 people. That's all! I'll bet you didn't think we had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.. If this message makes sense to you, then please pass it on.
THEY will LOWER THEIR PRICES TO BELOW THE RM1.92 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK. It's simple ¡ñ send the message along to others and choose to not buy petrol from Petronas.
TWENTY FIVE POINT SIX BILLION people: Now THAT's people power.
Gula-gula kesihatan pembunuh dikesan
KUALA LUMPUR 11 Jun - Sejenis gula-gula kesihatan, Mentalk Candy dikesan oleh Bahagian Perkhidmatan Farmasi, Kementerian Kesihatan mengandungi bahan kimia aminotadalafil yang mampu menyebabkan kegagalan jantung, sesak pernafasan dan hilang daya penglihatan.Pegawai Perhubungan Awam Kementerian Kesihatan, Ku Noor Azian Ku Azizan berkata, aminotadalafil adalah analog atau terbitan bagi bahan kimia tadalafil yang merupakan sejenis bahan perangsang seks yang digunakan untuk merawat penyakit mati pucuk.
Kata beliau, penemuan itu juga mendapati profil keselamatan bagi aminotadalafil tidak pernah diuji dan merupakan entiti baru yang belum pernah ditemui sebelum ini.
Berbahaya"Mentalk Candy dipercayai digunakan untuk tujuan yang sama (merawat mati pucuk) dan amat berbahaya jika digunakan kerana tindakan rangsangan farmakologi akibat analog tersebut (aminotadalafil) di dalam badan adalah tidak spesifik," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.
Tambah Ku Noor Azizan, penemuan kementerian itu adalah selari dengan kenyataan akhbar yang telah dikeluarkan oleh Penguasa Sains Kesihatan Singapura, baru-baru ini.
Sehubungan itu, beliau menasihatkan orang ramai supaya tidak menggunakan Mentalk Candy dan melaporkan kepada pihak kementerian jika menemuinya di pasaran.
"Pengilang dan pengedar Mentalk Candy boleh didakwa di mahkamah di bawah Akta Racun 1952 dan jika disabitkan kesalahan boleh didenda RM5,000 atau penjara sehingga dua tahun atau kedua-duanya sekali," jelasnya.

Selamat Hari Ayah...
Ahad ni, hari ayah... dan aku jauh dari ayah ku dah bertahun-tahun rasanya. hari tu, masa hari ibu, aku tak sempat nak upload beberapa gambar. semua di sebabkan masa aku yang agak terhad. Untuk ayah ni, aku try buat, walaupun sibuk. Mungkin untuk ibu, aku akan upload nanti.
Kalau tak silap aku, masuk tahun 2008 ni, dah 10 tahun lebih aku berjauhan dari ayah dan family aku. Kerana aku merantau dari tahun 1998 dahulu. Sampai sekarang, dan mungkin lepas ni akan membina satu kehidupan baru dan bukan di kampung halaman.
Gambar tu, adalah gambar-gambar seorang yang bernama ayah. Yang kiri sekali, ayah aku. Alhamdulillah tahun lepas, dia dah selamat menunaikan haji dan tahun ni gak dia akan bersara Julai ni. Sebelah dia tu, ayah mertua aku. Seorang peneroka yang gigih demi anak-anaknya. Sebelahnya, abang ipar aku, ayah kepada 2 orang anak. Lepas tu, 2 orang pakcik aku (dua-duanya adik kepada mak aku) yang dah bergelar ayah. Aku belom lagi... hehehe....
So, selamat hari ayah untuk ayah, abah, daddy, papa dan apa panggilan sekalipun.

AntiSpyware Shield???
So, aku pergi ajer ler ngan bawak aku punya antivirus, dan nak try to install dan
Aku mungkin lembab sikit pasal pc ni, dan korang mungkin akan gelak aku, yang aku tak tahu bahawa software ni, sememangnya tipu. Maksudnyer, software ni memang Trojan punya kerja.
Aduh... hari ni tadi, aku try search kat tenet, nak tahu cemana nak install benda alah ni...
Dan untuk pengetahuan orang yang seperti aku, software AntiSpyware Shield tu adalah sebenarnya tipu. Ia adalah virus... aku jumpa phrase ni...
AntiSpywareShield is a fake anti-spyware program that is related to Dr. Antispy. AntiSpywareShield is downloaded and installed by a Trojan, through browser security holes, or via other unconventional and unethical mechanisms. Once it is installed, AntiSpywareShield will show notifications of imaginary security and privacy risks in its attempts to trick the user into purchasing the full version of the application and may even cause sluggish performance of your computer.
Huh, memang canggih ler company ni, buat orang macam aku tertipu, dan orang-orang yang tak tahu pc juga tertipu. aku ada baca beberapa komen dalam web tu, menyatakan dia siap beli lagi software tu, dan install. Lepas tu, baru tahu yang software tu adalah tipu semata-mata.
Esok, aku akan pergi lagi umah kakak ipar aku, tok setelkan problem ni dan plan nak install beberapa software untuk protection.
Maklumat lanjut mengenai software ni, korang leh browse sini...
