Albukhary Dialysis Centre


Albukhary Dialysis Centre offers free treatment for the poor


ALOR STAR: The RM2.2mil Albukhary Dialysis Centre which offers free treatment to the poor irrespective of race or religion is arguably the biggest run by a non-government organisation.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak praised it as a fine example of corporate social responsibility.
“I hope this centre will be a landmark that we can be proud of. It reflects noble efforts to ease the public's burden,” he said when opening the dialysis centre at Albukhary Medical Centre here yesterday.
The centre will have 36 dialysis units, a treatment room and four dialysis bays. It is expected to be opened to the public soon.
He lauded Albukhary Foundation chairman Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary for setting up the free facility covering 1,000sq m next to the Albukhary Mosque.
“Such contribution is in line with Islamic principles to care for those who are less fortunate,” he said, adding that the centre was fully funded by the foundation.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek, who was also present, said out of 14,000 kidney patients in the country now, 2,500 were undergoing dialysis treatment.
The number of kidney patients was expected to increase to 20,000 by 2010, he said.
“Although all government hospitals and district clinics provide dialysis services, it is not enough,” he said, adding that 40% of patients sought dialysis treatment at government hospitals while 30% depended on facilities offered by non-profit organisations.
He said the government provided RM20mil to assist NGOs run dialysis centres last year and that the cabinet had recently approved an RM44mil allocation.
At a breaking-fast ceremony at the Albukhary Mosque's compound later, Najib lauded Syed Mokhtar for the RM600mil Albukhary complex that comprised a majestic mosque, hostel for orphans, a senior citizens’ academy, the Albukhary Medical Centre, dormitories, medium standard hotel suites, and a shopping complex.

May Allah bless u.

10 unusual buildings in the world


source: http://www.starproperty.my/

compiled by Ellen Tang | June 16, 2010

1. Wozoco Apartments (Amsterdam, Holland) 

The Wozoco Apartments was built more than 55 years ago and it consists of 100 homes. It might seem that the extravagant design was pre-planned, but the fact is far from that. The design was actually "accidental". Initially, every unit was promised good natural lighting. However, this was only achievable for 87 units per block. Hence, lies the problem, as the request was for 100 units per block. So how did they add the remaining 13 units? They were protruded from the main structure, as you can see in the picture below.

2. The Crooked House (Sopot, Holland) 
Crooked House was designed by Polish architect Szotynscy Zaleski. He was inspired by the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer and the drawings of the Swedish artist and Sopot resident Per Dahlberg. The most photographed building in Poland, the 4,000 square meter (approximately 43,000sq ft)  house is located in the Rezydent shopping center in Sopot, Poland. Others call it the "Crazy House".

3. Blur Building (Yverdon-les-Bainz, Switzerland) 
The Blur Building is an exhibition pavilion built for the Swiss Expo 2002 on Lake Neuchatel in the town of Yverdon-les-Bainz. With an area of 80,000sq ft, the primary building material is water from the lake. Water is pumped from the lake, filtered and shot as fine mist through high-pressure mist nozzles.

4. The Dancing House (Praque, Czech Republic) 
The nickname, Dancing House, refers to the Nationale Nederlanden building in Praque. It was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian architect Frank Gehry. The building was built on a riverfront plot where the previous building was destroyed during the World War II.
The original name of the building was Fred and Ginger, after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, arguably the most famous dancing duo. Others call it the"Drunk House".

5. Device to Root Out Evil (Vancouver, Canada) 
It’s a house! It’s a church! It is actually a sculpture designed by American sculptor Dennis Oppenheim. In year 2004, the bizarre statue was originally proposed to be installed at Stanford University, California. However, according to CultureKiosque.com, the proposal was rejected by the university’s president John L. Hennessy who argued that it might stir up a controversy because the sculpture looked like an inverted church.
Finally in year 2006, the sculpture found its home in Vancouver, Canada, when Oppenheim announced that it was bought over by a private foundation, the Benfic Foundation.

Unusual hotels


Looking to stay somewhere interesting during the holidays? If the very thought of staying in a hotel that is made of ice or one that is built on salt appeals to you, then read on!
ICEHOTEL, Sweden
Last winter, 24,000 people visited ICEHOTEL. This unusual hotel is only built during the winter every year and it begins to melt in spring. To prevent this hotel from melting, a total of 21,500 cubic meters of “snis”, a combination of snow and ice, is used.
This is 62-room hotel has various suites such as the deluxe suites and the arts suites. Right next to the hotel is a church, also made from ice and it opens on Christmas day. Approximately 150 couples have their wedding there each year. There is also an ICEBAR that serves drinks in glasses made of ice.


 Hotel Palafitte, Switzerland 
This hotel consists of 40 units called pavilions, of which 24 are built above Lake Neuchâtel. These units are somewhat like a small bungalow and comes with a balcony, a Jacuzzi, a mini-bar and nespresso coffee machine. Some of the hotel’s eco-friendly features include collecting rainwater to flush the toilets and generating electricity through solar panels.

Gamirasu Cave Hotel, Turkey
If you enjoy holidays that offer a more natural setting, then there is the Gamirasu Cave at Cappadocia, Turkey. Gamirasu used to be a Byzantine monastic over 1,000 years ago. Monks carved 30 rooms out of the soft volcano rocks called “Tufa”. The room’s temperature is kept at approximately 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year.

Queen Mary Hotel, USA
Queen Mary is actually a ship liner that was converted to become the largest and the fastest troopship of the era. The ship used to carry as many as 15,000 soldiers during World War II. Besides ferrying the soldiers, Queen Mary also ferries other dignitaries such as Prime Minister Winston Churchill to meet with other officials across the Atlantic Ocean. This “ship-hotel” features a library, indoor swimming pool, outdoor tennis court and also a nursery

Palace of Salt Hotel, Bolivia
Salt is something that we consume on a daily basis. Now, humans have found a new use for it; to build a hotel. This hotel has one rule though − visitors and guests are not allowed to lick the walls! This ‘Palace of Salt’ also has a sauna, saltwater pool, steam room and whirlpool.

The Shady Dell, USA
This hotel is all about retro-living that resembles the 50s in the USA. Wood and aluminum were used to build the trailer. There are nine different types of ‘trailer-hotel’ in Shady Dell. For example, there is the 1951 mansion trailer which is 33 feet long, and it comes with not only a couch and bathroom but also a vintage TV that only broadcasts in 2 colours, and a phonograph that plays rhythm and blues music of that era.

The Library Hotel, USA
This is a 12-storey building with 60 rooms. Each floor has a theme and is classified according to the Dewey Decimal system, ranging from social sciences to religion. Based on each floor’s theme, each room on that floor is given a sub-genre. For example, if you explore the ‘Science and Math’ theme, which is located in the fifth floor, you might encounter sub-genre such as botany or astronomy in one of the rooms. This hotel contains 6,000 books and these books are placed in each room to complement to theme that it carries.

KELLIE'S CASTLE - A MYSTERY CASTLE IN MALAYSIA



         William Kellie Smith was from a village in Scotland known as Kellas. In 1890, at the age of 20, he arrived in the then undeveloped Malaya. Here, he met an estate owner called Alma Baker, who had won concessions from the state government to clear 360 hectares of forests in Perak. With the substantial profits made from his business venture with Alma Baker, Smith started planting rubber trees and dabbled in the tin mining industry. In time, he became the owner of Kinta Kellas Estate and the Kinta Kellas Tin Dredging Company.
Now with his fortune made, he returned home to marry his Scottish sweetheart, Agnes, and brought her over to Malaysia in 1903. The following year, the couple was blessed with a daughter whom they named Helen. For many years after that, Agnes tried to conceive, but to no avail. William Smith desperately wanted a son and heir to take over his empire in the Malay Isles. After many years, Agnes finally gave birth to a son, Anthony, in 1915. The birth of his child was the start of even greater success for William Smith. To celebrate Anthony's birth, William Smith decided to expand on his mansion. Smith started planning for a huge castle which he planned to call Kellas House, after his hometown in Scotland.

[edit]Planning and early construction

As stated earlier, Kellie wanted a son very badly. One of the Madras laborers told him that by praying to Amman (a Hindu Goddess), whom they believe will grant their wish. So Smith prayed to her and Agnes conceived and delivered a baby boy. As a token of appreciation, Kellie built a Hindu Temple for the Goddess.
As he was so fond of the Goddess that he wanted to have built a statue of him beside her. Therefore a statue of a white man can be seen on the roof of temple today, alongside statues of Hindu gods and goddesses. It is believed that a tunnel was built for his family to visit the temple from the castle.
Because of his fascination with the Hindu religion and Indian culture, Smith's plan was for this house to share similar architecture to those of Madras, with all its bricks and tiles imported from India. He even employed a big group of Indian labourers to build his dream house, to keep the Kellas House authentically Indian. The mansion is accessible from the main road through a bridge running across a stream.
But it was not only the cost of importing material and labourers from abroad that made the house so fascinating to locals and travelers alike. Among the many amazing things about Kellie's Castle are an elevator (it was the first in Malaya) which connects right up to the top floor, and the existence of two tunnels that run under the river nearby. One of these tunnels connects to the Hindu temple some distance away from the main house. On the second floor, Smith planned to build an indoor tennis court — an ambitious project even by today's standards. On the highest floor, there is a rooftop courtyard for parties. This castle was to be the hub for entertaining wealthy colonial planters who had settled in Malaya. His house was so unique that it was even mentioned in the London Financier newspaper on 15 September 1911.

[edit]Construction difficulties and Smith's death

Unfortunately for Smith, tragedies struck soon after the construction of the Kellas House began. A virulent strain of the Spanish flu spread from Europe to Asia soon after World War Iended in Europe, killing many of the workers in the Kellas Estate. Another seventy workers constructing Smith's dream castle also became victims of the flu. Smith, who had already spent a fortune on his house, lost a lot of money because of this.
In the end, Kellas House, later known as Kellie's Castle or even Kellie's Folly to some, was never completed. William Kellie Smith himself died of pneumonia during a short trip toPortugal in 1926. His heartbroken wife decided to pack up and return home to Scotland selling the estate and Kellie's Castle to a British company called Harrisons and Crosfield.

[edit]Kellie's Castle today

Descendants of the Tamil labourers brought over to Malaya to work on the mansion still live nearby even now. Kellie's Castle is now a popular local tourist attraction and was used as a setting in the 1999 film Anna and the King.[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kellie's_Castle for more information.
And according to: http://www.peraktourism.com/ 

        Kellie's Castle was meant to be a home away from home for Scottish Planter, William Kellie Smith in the 19th century in Perak. Being far from his home country, Kellie desired his new residence to be reminiscent of his residence back in Scotland. The castle is perched on top of a hill.
William Kellie Smith was an interesting man who was popular with his South Indian workers. Kind at heart, he erected a Hindu shrine for his workers on the castle premise. As a token of appreciation, his workers in return erected a statue of Kellie complete in a white suit and hat.
Construction of this unique castle begun in 1915. However, work came to an abrupt halt with Kellie's sudden death in 1926. The ruins of the uncompleted orange-coloured castle stand in isolation and was overgrown with plants and creepers. In the pale moonlight it takes on an aura of a castle caught in the timelessness of a fairy tale.
Recently, efforts have been made by the Perak State Government to rescue this magnificent structure from falling into ruins. Besides being  claimed to be haunted, the castle is believed to have hidden rooms and secret underground tunnels.
The road that leads to Kellie's Castle follows the contours of the land in a dizzying, maze-like fashion, adding to the mystery and romance of the place.
Getting There
The castle is situated on the way to Batu Gajah town at the Kinta Kellas Rubber Estate, about 30-minute drive and 14 km south of Ipoh City, in Perak, a state in Malaysia.

NISSAN TEANA


This model of the Teana is powered by various engines from a 2.0 liter 4-potter (the same 136 PS MR20DE in the Sylphy), a 2.5 liter V6 (182 PS VQ25DE) to a big and torquey 3.5 liter V6 (251 PS VQ35DE), all mated to Xtronic CVT transmissions. If priced sensibily, Tan Chong will probably offer the 2.0 liter and the 2.5 liter as volume models here in Malaysia.
I say priced sensibly because the previous generation Teana was launched here in Malaysia with a massive pricetag of RM230,000 for the sole 2.3 liter model on sale. But word is that this time Tan Chong wants to go head to head with the Accord and Camry’s 2.0 and 2.4 models, and undoubtedly the Teana’s large and grand stature with a good amount of chrome will appeal to many.
commented by : http://paultan.org/2010/


The D-segment sedan market have traditionally been a duopoly of both the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, especially in Asian markets. The Toyota Camry leads the sales charts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, with the Honda Accord following behind closely. This has been the established (and accepted) order of hierarchy in the sales charts for the last decade or so. Ironically, it was in the Chinese market in mainland China that this traditional order have been reversed. For two consecutive months of September and August 2010, sales of the Nissan Teana overtook both the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in China.


As of September 2010, Dongfeng Nissan, the local distributor of Nissan vehicles in China reported a cumulative sale of 108,504 units sold since its launch in 2009, putting it ahead of both the Camry and the Accord. Exact sales figures of the Camry and Accord for the last month were not available to the general public as the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers only publishes statistics of the top ten sellers for free. And both the Camry and the Accord have since dropped out of the top ten. So good is the Teana that Chinese buyers have since nicknamed the Teana as "King of Comfort."


During the launch of the Teana in China, Nissan Motor Co. CEO Carlos Ghosn have stressed that the Teana have been designed with a lot of focus on Chinese consumers, calling it "The Teana is a Chinese product." Chinese consumers also tend to be less brand loyal, and tend to exercise a lot more pragmatic considerations on top of the brand reputation. There Chinese car market is not overly dominated by any single brand. GM and VW (including Audi) are the biggest sellers overall, but not by the same sort of margin enjoyed by Proton, Perodua and Toyota here in Malaysia, as clearly seen from the fragmented segment leading brands in China. Honda does well in the MPV and SUV segment, Audi leads in the luxury segment, while Buick, Hyundai and VW each lead in in different sub-segment of the mainstream passenger car market.


Nissan is represented in China by Dongfeng Nissan, a 50-50 joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Group and Nissan Motor Co. The Camry referred to here is the Asian Camry, and is different from the Camry sold in domestic Japanese and American markets. The Asian Camry is larger, has more luxurious trim and is also sold in Australia as the V6 only Aurion. The Accord sold in Asian markets however, is similar to that sold in America and Japan (known as the Inspire) but different from the one sold in Europe. Both the American and Asian Camry are due forreplacement by 2012. In Malaysia, Edaran Tan Chong Motor will be re-launching the Teana again locally by November 2010, this time in CKD form so it will be priced more competitively against the established players. The CBU version of the Teana was quietly discontinued after a very short stint in 2008. This time, two engine options will be offered - a 4-cylinder 2.0-litre and a V6 2.5-litre, both petrol of course. Back in the 90s, the Korean designed Nissan Cefiro was giving both the Camry and Accord a good run for their money, but dropped out of the race by the late 90s.

TOYOTA COROLLA ALTIS 2.0 VVTi

comments by Paul Tan at http://paultan.org/2010
collection of: http://jauhari-englishhomework.blogspot.com
A new ZR range of Dual VVT-i engines are now in place, and there’s a 2.0-litre range topper to join the 1.8 and 1.6. The new engines will be paired to another first for the Altis – a CVT gearbox with seven virtual ratios in manual mode (except the 1.6, which soldiers on with a 4-speed auto).
We’ve driven it already, when Toyota Asia Pacific organised a regional media drive for the new car at the Sepang circuit. And while we had a decent first impression, there’s only so much you can experience in a few runs, on a circuit. So here’s a more detailed review of the new Altis, in the exact same spec that will be launched in Malaysia.
I like what Toyota has done to the new Altis. In my opinion, the fresh face, in particular the new grille and reprofiled bumper, gives the car a wider look and erases the fussy sharp nose of the old car. Like the facelift for the Camry, the “U” shape of the front is ditched in favour of an “X” shape. Speaking of that car, the Altis now looks very much like a junior Camry; seeing how popular the Camry is, that can only be a good thing.
The HID headlamps have a greyish blue tint on their lenses (not apparent in pictures) which Toyota labels as “smoked”. They look good but less good looking in my opinion are the tail lamps, which have a whiff of aftermarket about them. At least they do the job of differentiating old and new from the back effectively. The other changes are a longer chrome strip above the number plate, new bumper with horizontal reflectors and the Dual VVT-i badge, which UMWT opted to put next to the variant badge.
Those with “younger” and more sporty tastes will be attracted to the Civic or Lancer without even giving the Altis a look, but for the rest of the buying public, the Toyota should be entirely inoffensive, and maybe even a bit sporty in the case of the top spec 2.0V. Talking about sporty, it’s a nice rim design, but they’re still only 16-inch items and there’s no bodykit at launch.
As mentioned in our initial test drive at Sepang, Malaysian bound cars will have a light coloured cabin across the board, instead of the black that some markets get for their 2.0V. While there are some who don’t like this, a light hue has its benefits.
Besides creating a greater impression of space and airiness, the Altis interior feels luxurious the moment you step in. Although it isn’t greatly changed from the old model, the little differences make a positive difference. The grey soft plastics that line the top half of the dash and door mouldings are in a darker shade than before, and the faux wood trim is now in tasteful dark wood with a matte finish. For me, while the old orangey and shiny wood was a turn off, the new trim successfully warms the ambience over lesser models that have silver plastic.
Quality is top notch. Panel fit is exemplary, buttons are super tight fitting and good in tactile response. The only blot in the copybook is the fit of the second glove box in our test car, but then again, how many other classmates offer an extra glove box? The layout and ergonomics are also incredibly simple and straightforward – I can imagine my parents operating the car immediately without fumbling, for instance.
The most obvious changes in the cabin are the steering wheel and instruments, and both look good and work well. The three-spoke steering (only for the 2.0V) is a really nice thing to hold – perfect thickness, slightly flat bottomed, perforated leather with contrasting stitching and useful buttons. The DISP button on the right spoke toggles the trip meter while the cruise control is on a separate stalk. Personally, I like this layout as I use the trip computer more often than cruise control.
For the Optitron dials, they now sport a white ring with black numbers – looks sportier and is more legible than before. All models get a green ECO light that well, lights up when you’re light on the throttle. You can also call up an ECO meter from the trip computer if the former isn’t enough.
Other things I noted over the few days with the car are the abundance of little storage spaces (both sides of the centre console base, left one has a hook), the illuminated vanity mirrors (not that I used them much :) ) and the handy sliding arm rest. I also realised that the controls for the wing mirrors are completely unsighted, blocked by the steering wheel. The seat base (driver gets electric adjustment with lumbar control) could have been longer too, although the leather covers weren’t as slippery as in the Sepang cars. The front parking sensors were quite useful too.

The Altis is a more mature sort of car, and that’s not a criticism. It majors on refinement and comfort, and delivers on the most part, except for the low speed ride. Toyota also wanted a plush luxurious feel with a dash of sport for their C-segment car, and we think that’s achieved nicely in the cabin.
If there was something that didn’t meet my expectations, it’s the fuel consumption. Driving smoothly with the ECO light on 80% of the time (it goes off in manual mode, by the way), my best efforts yielded 11.2 km/l according to the trip computer, which isn’t terrible, but not great for such a promising combo. Perhaps it could be that factory fresh WUJ 5552 had just 70 km on the odometer when we collected it, and economy would improve with more miles on the clock. Other issues? The fiddly key fob needs strong, deliberate presses to work and the alarm went off too often in a thunderstorm.
That aside, I can imagine the Altis as a satisfying car to own and use, but also a car that I’ll never lust after. A brilliant tool, nothing more. That’s a car’s role for many though, and the Altis’ new-found blend of great refinement and performance plus traditional Toyota qualities makes it stand out in a sea of“sporty” players.

Malaysia ex-queen sues paranormal researcher

By NIK NAIZI HUSIN

newsdesk@thestar.com.my


TEMERLOH: The High Court here set Jan 27 for mention of the suit brought by former Raja Permaisuri Agong Cik Puan Siti Aishah Abdul Rahman against paranormal researcher Syed Abdullah Hus­sein Al-Attas, better known as Uncle Seekers, for breach of confidential information.
Justice Prasad Abraham fixed the date after hearing an inter parteargument from the plaintiff’s counsel in chambers.
Justice Abraham also ruled that the Insolvency Department be given time to appoint a counsel for Syed Abdullah, who was a bankrupt, while second defendant and Syed Abdullah’s father, Syed Hussein Al-Attas was directed to engage his own lawyer.
Siti Aishah was represented by T. Gunaseelan, Anthony M. Se­­bastian and Ikmal Hisan Idris.
On Dec 3, Siti Aishah had filed a suit against Syed Ab­­dullah, claiming that he violated an arrangement to keep her secret and information confidential.
She also filed a similar suit against Syed Hussein Al-Attas.
The plaintiff also applied for an injunction to prevent any of her private and confidential details from being published in the defendants’ blogs, newspapers, magazine or books or any of their representatives.
Siti Aishah, in her statement of claims, alleged that in June last year, she had asked Syed Abdullah for help after she was said to have suffered from emotional distress after Syed Abdul­lah had made an oral representation that he could treat the phenomenon.
Siti Aishah said her arrangement with Syed Abdullah was that he would be paid for his services and that he agreed to maintain confidentiality of all information and communication between them during the treatment and not to exploit her in any way.
She said she had paid Syed Abdullah a total of RM15,000 for the treatment which was terminated.
However, she claimed that details about her and the communication between them were published on the defendants’ blog uncleseekers.blogspot.com in November last year.
Siti Aishah is seeking general damages and exemplary damages deemed fit by the court.
