I just got back from library met my groupmates. We done our last preparation for presentation tomorrow. what we did is we will using mind map to make our presentation more easier and everyone will get the point. Its also easy to understand.
The name Malaya was then changed to Malaysia when the country was officially made a federation of 13 states including Sabah and Sarawak. There is one article states that "The federation shall be known, in Malay and English, as Malaysia". Although Singapore broke away and became a nation of its own in 1965, the rest of the states have remained firmly together, combining to make Malaysia the harmonious melting pot of cultures it is today. Because of this beautiful knowledge and history from our grandparents, Me and few friends decide to go to Putrajaya to watch the marching shows of all organizations.
In the story above, i use the word Although which is including in Contrary relationship and because of this in Causal relationship.
PETALING JAYA: The perennial dilemma of overweight and obese Malaysian adults does not seem to be improving with the Health Ministry expressing fears that more than 50% of Malaysian adults could now be saddled with the problem.
Its minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said while the National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2006 revealed the combined prevalence of overweight and obese adults was 43.1% - almost double the figure a decade ago, the current numbers could have already increased over the past two years.
The estimated number of Malaysian adults above the age of 20 is about 13 million.
Liow pinned the disturbing situation down to the lack of proper health knowledge where Malaysians need to be better informed and motivated to stay healthy in terms of diet, physical activity, stress management and disease prevention.
He said Malaysians had also grown accustomed to an affluent lifestyle where they were more comfortable sitting at home and watching television or being in front of the computer instead of enjoying the great outdoors.
"For example, how many people know that losing even a modest 5% to 10% of their weight can result in reduced sickness and death?" he said in his speech Saturday when launching Nutrition Month Malaysia 2008.
Liow, who took a jibe at his own weight problem where he weighed 75kg instead of the desired 70kg, added that Malaysians took "eating right" lightly where they did not know what to eat, when to do so and how much they should consume.
"There is plenty to eat but, unfortunately, many of us are not making wise decisions with regards to what and how much we should eat. Instead of using common sense, we act on impulse," he added.
"With our busy lifestyles, we would rather eat out than at home, opt for fast food rather than cook at home. And, too often, we spare little thought about the health and nutritional value of what we put into our tummies, if we remember to eat at all."
Malaysian Association for the Study of Obesity president Prof Dr Mohd Ismail Noor later revealed that about 90% of overweight and obese adults in the country were "very likely" to develop diabetes.
"What is worrying is that younger people who have diabetes and are also overweight. You do not have to wait until you are 40 to have this disease. They are now as young as 25," he said.
He warned the problem had to be nipped in the bud because the combined access to food 24 hours a day and lack of exercise was a "recipe for disaster".
"Look at the West. They have promotional health campaigns and yet it is not working there," he said.
He also said if one parent is overweight or obese, the chances of the child being in a similar situation was 40%.
The chances increased to 80% if both parents are either overweight or obese, he said.
Genetic predisposition, he said contributed to between 10% and 15% of those who faced the weighty problem in the country.
Hence, this article has prompt me to relate it with my critical thinking studies,
Just now i read something on Tun Mahathir Mohammad website named www.chedet.com about Anwar Ibrahim campaign at Permatang Pauh parlimentary seat. On that site he said yesterday Anwar ibrahim officially announced as the new member of parliment for Permatang Pauh contituency. Tun Mahathir focused on what will happen when Anuar Ibrahim seat in the parliment. He said that when Anuar Ibrahim seat in the parliment he will try to persuade other members to be with him to fulfill his manifesto. He added if Anuar Ibrahim manage to attract the member of parliment then Anuar Ibrahim will be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia, and if Anuar Ibrahim will be the next Prime Minister Malaysia will be unstable condition country, if all this happen he willing to move to other country than staying at Country that are in unstable condition. All i can see is Tun Mahathir are using appeal to indirect consequences. So, don't support Anuar Ibrahim! haha
Hey morning! here we are again. just now i just came back from my tutorial class and straight go to my neighbour's house and watched a movie with alan title 'the dark night'. Actually its a really good movie that everybody must watch. In that movie, there is one character who is a villein called THE JOKER. All his action in that movie are unpredictable and makes people feel insecure if he really exist in a real life. Suddenly, my friend, Med, woke up and seat next to me. then he said that "why so serious?" pretending as a joker. He said he wants to be the joker. in that situation Med is using paradox because he makes a wrong statement but it still make senses logically but we know it cannot be true at the first place. when Med saw i wrote about him in this blog, he said "lets put a SMILE on that face ha ha ha ha".
