Intersting to find one article about new Malaysia Health care system...? possible in the near future.
Quoted:
Healthcare budget
With only two per cent of our budget allocated to health care, it must rank low by world standards compared with developed and other developing countries. The government must and should double or triple this amount. Cut from unnecessary and ego-promoting projects! Plug leakages and corruption — billions can be saved and utilised for health care. Do we need 270 units of armoured personnel carriers totalling some RM7.6 billion (and reportedly the cost from Turkey was only RM1.6 billion?) Do we need six littoral patrol vessels at RM1 billion a piece when the US Navy has only two? We can afford health care if we can save from all these.
Unnecessary 1 Care costs
While no specific numbers of staff and costs are available, implementing the 1 Care scheme will incur additional staff and further costs. The civil service is already bloated. What transparency can be expected? Why do we need to "invent" and copy from the UK’s NHS — which incidentally is facing lots of criticisms when the British government wanted to reduce its healthcare coverage.
Politicians must remember this — "privileges" once given out can never be abolished even though there are justifications, even when the government cannot afford it, even when facing bankruptcy. Look at Greece, Spain, Italy —strikes and demonstrations are the order of the day. This brings social and economic unrest.
Shouldn’t we try not to re-invent the wheel. We have a good healthcare system — all it needs are improvements. Something that can be achieved fairly easily and quickly.

Cough for a year
A Sambit town lady suffered from Chronic cough, for one year.
Aprt from house dust mites, she shows features of allergic to 'polluted air'.
Yes, tropical country can have polluted air from the tropical forest environment.
Aspergillus fungus is one of the triger factors.
Aspergillus mold allergies are a particularly difficult type of mold allergy that people experience. Aspergillus is a common mold that grows on decomposing organic matter such as compost, leaves, fruit, vegetables, and tree bark. Indoors, the mold grows in organic matter in trash cans, on damp wood surfaces, and in most other locations where other molds and fungi grow, such as damp ductwork, carpets, and foam pillows.
This particular type of mold can be very dangerous to people with compromised immune systems, such as people with autoimmune disorders, HIV/AIDS, lung disorders, lung cancer, or small infants with lung problems. Aspergillus can cause a lung condition called aspergillosis, and in rare cases a large ball of fungi can grow in the lung--an aspergilloma--that is extremely rare but which requires surgery for removal and treatment.
For most aspergillus mold allergies, decreasing exposure to this environmental mold is enough to manage symptoms. The easiest way to remove aspergillus from allergy sufferers is to relocate to an area of the country where aspergillus is rare, such as the southwest. Persons living in a river valley, near water, or near farms and mills are at highest risk for exposure. Moving is not realistic for most people with aspergullus mold allergies, however. With this in mind, consider the following steps to reduce aspergillus exposure in the spring and fall, when it is most prevelent in the air:
1. Wear a mask when working in the yard. Any raking of decomposing plants and leaves will stir up aspergillus. Forget what the neighbors might think: aspergillus mold allergies are more important than appearance.
2. Get rid of old books, older untreated indoor wood, and houseplants that attract mold easily.
3. Declutter anything in damp areas of the basement. Put in dehumidifiers, either electric or chemical.
4. Rip out old carpets that are damp or were once damp. Even one exposure to wetness can breed aspergillus.
5. Run an air filter in your home, especially in the bedroom.
6. Wipe down all surfaces with a miticide--a mold-killing chemical. Wash all walls, baseboards, counters, cabinets, and bookshelves. Consider washing all drawers and other pieces of furniture as well.
7. Remove shoes before entering the home. Wash hands immediately when entering the house.
8. Open windows rarely, and never on damp days. Run the air conditioning in the spring and fall rather than opening windows. Open windows only on dry days.
9. Reduce consumption of fermented or fungi products, such as wines, cheeses, or anything containing vinegar.
10. Examine any manufactured foods and supplements carefully. Most food enzymes are made using asperfillus as a fermenting agent. Almost all wines use aspergillus as well for fermenting. Many people with aspergillus mold allergies do not understand that aspergillus is used extensively in food manufacturing. Sensitive aspergillus mold allergy sufferers may not be able to eat many products that use aspergillus as a fermenting agent.
Aspergillus mold allergies are serious, and must be taken very seriously. Getting rid of unfinished antique furniture, beloved old books, or even moving may seem drastic, but they are necessary steps when battling this allergy. As spring deepens and asspergillus mold spores spread, what one might think of as "hay fever" may really be an aspergullis mold allergy.

Golden Land, Sarawak, Chapter 30
Tom Harrison
Mr. Tom Harrisson has worked in sarawak as the chief of Sarawak Museum, or another name, the Curator of Sarawak Museum.
His team confirmed the first C-14 carbon date for a steel , iron factory at the site known as Bongkisam at Santubong, Kuching, Sarak, Borneo.
Bongkisam is an ancient settlement area where tools and items traced back to Tang Dynasty (modern calendar year 615 A.D.)of China. People lived there made tools for agriculture and daily use utensils such as cooking pot, vase for storing water. There are lots of jars meant for storing food and drink, likely wine.
Tom Harrisson together with Stanley J. O'connor confirmed the settlement site with radioactive Carbon C14 method. The people settled there originally from China.
There are other sites around that area indicate settlement dated with radio active carbon confirm steel factory during Sung Dynasty (modern calendar year 1,100 A. D).
In the year 1991, the senior Research Fellow of University of Sussex, UK, Mr. Tom Harrison sent the items to the Geochron Laboratories, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. the technical Director Dr. Harold W. Krueger supervised the radioactive Carbon date confirmation.
Chinese Ceramic is another durable items found in this settlement site. They have thrived in this country for hundred of years.
I pass by this area during my Scuba diving trip to near by Satang island. The area is a wilderness now. No body would have dream that it was a city.
