Altantunya : Siasatan penuh bagi hentikan spekulasi

Altantunya..Altantunya..Altantunya..

Hampir semua rakyat yang ada sikap membaca surat khabar mesti melalui nama "Altantunya" ini. Saya tidak tahu secara mendalam tentang karenah orang membuat "brutal murder". Sebagai rakyat biasa, saya ada dua kemusykilan..

1.) Kenapa pembunuhan ini berlaku?
2.) C4 adalah bahan letupan yang digunakan oleh pihak berkuasa and pengganas sahaja. Macam mana caranya dua polis UTK ini dapat C4?

Ketiga-tiga orang disabitkan salah di mahkamah adalah bukan orang sebarangan. Dua polis adalah body guard TPM yang sedang bertugas..bukan retired..

Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sepatutnya mengarahkan siasatan penuh dan dipercayai bagi membersihkan implikasi terhadap mana-mana pemimpin kerajaan dalam pembunuhan warga Mongolia Altantunya Sharribuu.

Spekulasi dan laporan sedang berlegar mengenai terdapat penglibatan pimpinan tertinggi kerajaan dalam kes pembunuhan Altantunya. Abdullah perlu hentikan perkara tersebut dengan mengadakan siasatan menyeluruh dan bebas agar segala spekulasi dapat dihentikan.

Bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata kelmarin bahawa daripada pengalamannya, Unit Tugas Khas (UTK) dipertanggungjawabkan menjaga TPM dan mereka bekerja dibawah arahannya.

Melihat kepada tugas yang khusus tersebut, dan dakwaan ke atas dua pegawai UTK berhubung kes pembunuhan di atas, Najib tidak boleh terus berdiam diri – lebih-lebih lagi yang dituduh ialah penasihat peribadinya Razak Baginda.

Banyak persoalan telah dibangkitkan berkaitan pembunuhan Altantunya. Pertama, peranannya dalam pembelian kapal selam bernilai RM4.1 bilion dan kedua, bayaran komisyen sebanyak US$100 juta, perlu disiasat. Siasatan perlulah dilakukan oleh badan yang bebas dan asing daripada perbicaraan jenayah bunuh di atas.

Rakyat Malaysia mahu tahu apakah komen Najib mengenai penglibatan pegawai-pegawai UTK dan penasihat peribadinya Razak Baginda dalam pembunuhan Altantunya melibatkan letupan C4.

Cosmetic Breast Enlargement Surgery

Learn All You Can About Cosmetic Breast Enlargement Surgery (Ezine Ready)

By: Michelle Bery

In this world where plastic surgery has become something you can do on a weekend, more and more people are turning to surgeons to make their dreams of the perfect physique become reality. No plastic surgery is more commonplace for women than that of cosmetic breast enlargement surgery. Nothing gets at the heart of a woman's physical insecurity than not being able to fill out a shirt. There's something to be said for liking yourself the way you are. But when your breast size affects your whole perception of yourself - and there is a way to fix it through cosmetic breast enlargement surgery - you are more than likely going to consider this procedure.

Cosmetic breast enlargement surgery - like any surgery - has risks associated with it. But because cosmetic breast enlargement surgery is so common in cosmetic surgery offices across the country, the risks have been largely minimized. There are a multitude of highly skilled surgeons who are vastly experienced in cosmetic breast enlargement surgery; finding that doctor should be your first priority.

Research is crucial prior to surgery of any kind. Investigate the actually procedure of cosmetic breast enlargement surgery so that you understand what will happen to you in the operating room. Educate yourself on all the methods of cosmetic breast enlargement surgery so that you can decide what is important to you; some surgeons put the implant under the muscle, some do not; some make the incision under the breast and some make the incision around the nipple. Become a scholar of cosmetic breast enlargement surgery information so you can be well informed when interviewing surgeons.

That's right - interview surgeons. It's imperative that you find a surgeon who fits the bill when it comes to background, experience, and reputation. But it's just as important that you connect with the doctor on a personal level. If you feel rushed through a first meeting or feel that your questions were not thoroughly answered - or if you just simply feel uncomfortable - than this is probably not the doctor for you. This is your body; be sure that you find a doctor you absolutely trust to perform you cosmetic breast enlargement surgery.

Finally, it's helpful to speak with other women who have been through cosmetic breast enlargement surgery. Speaking with those who have undergone similar experiences can help you to prepare; knowing what to expect before, during, and after cosmetic breast enlargement surgery can make all the difference in a successful outcome.

I Want To Catch Up On My Retirement Planning What Should I Do?

Good question and even better, you're thinking in the right direction about your future which is someday retiring. If you're one of those people who haven't saved any or very much money for your retirement, it's never too late for you to start now! It's important that you do start and soon. It doesn't take long for age to slip up on you fast if you know what I mean! So, just get started on your retirement planning now while you're thinking about it. You may want to consider some of these tips and information to get you started:

1) If the employer you are working for offers a 401K plan wherein you contribute a percentage of your earnings towards retirement, consider signing up for this plan! In most instances, the employer may match a percentage of the contributions you make to your 401K account. Your contributions can be made on a pre-tax basis which will help your money grow faster in your account.

2) You may want to consider taking a second job to add more income for your retirement. This will assist you in increasing the amount of money for your retirement fund. If you're able to fit a second job into your schedule, make sure this would be feasible for you and your family without causing problems.

3) Save more of your money by cutting back on some of your expenses. You may want to reduce the number of times you eat out, go to the movies, shop, and any other areas you can cut back on to save towards your retirement.

4) Consider saving your change! That's right, save your change. You would be surprised at the amount of money you can accumulate in a small amount of time by saving your change. Your change could be set aside for your retirement fund. So, start putting your coins away for your future!

5) Reduce or eliminate your spending on your credit cards. The less you pay on your credit cards, the more money you'll have to save towards your retirement. So, if you can pay cash for that item you need to purchase, do that instead of charging it to your credit card. You'll not only save yourself interest charges, but, you'll have extra money to put away for your retirement.

6) If you have a home and are using it as a cash machine or atm by taking out your home equity via loans or a credit line, stop what you're doing! Your home is one of your largest investments and will most likely be a retirement vehicle for you. You'll either want to have your home paid off prior to retirement or be in a position to sell your home to obtain the equity to use as retirement income. If you have your home equity tapped out, then you will not be in the position during your golden years to enjoy your retirement. You'll probably be still paying a mortgage that you may not be able to afford and will not have much money in your retirement fund.

It's better late than never when it comes to starting your retirement planning. So, go ahead, start working on catching up with your retirement planning today, you'll be glad you did!

The Real Way to Lose Weight - and Keep it Off

If you’re tired of reading the same old articles about “quick and easy ways” to lose weight which lead to adding ten pounds to your old weight after you get off the diet, then this article may spark your interest. Everyone has seen all the advertisements on TV lately for diet products; it is becoming a bit excessive.

The best way to lose weight and keep it off is eating right and exercise.

You can read a million articles out there that will say “do something ridiculous to lose tons of weight!!” I’m not one to say these articles are wrong, because there is proof that some of these diets do work for people. The problem today is that people want quick results, when in fact they should be less worried about quick results and concentrate more on keeping the weight they do lose off.

The low-carb experiment

Let’s break down a low-carb fad diet. Whether it is Atkins, South Beach or any of the thousands of others out there, they all do basically the same thing; cut carbs way down if not out of your diet. But let’s not forget that carbs account for a lot of our daily intake, Pasta and Bread are not the only things that have carbs in them. Fruit, vegetables, and whole grain are just a few things that carbs are in and these carbs are healthy for you. So now you’ve cut all of them out of your diet, therefore starving your body of the natural carbs that it would take in on a daily basis. So overall cutting carbs out of your diet can help you lose weight, but also cut out the healthy carbs.

These diets DO work; they will get you down ten pounds in a short period of time if you follow it religiously, but let’s not forget what is going to happen over time. Now you’ve lost a let’s say 30 pounds in a 6-8 month period and now the key is to keep it off, but the problem is the majority of people who get off these diets go back to eating carbs, and reducing the amount of exercise that is required. Once you go back to carbs & stop exercising you go back to putting weight on.

The best route

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s discuss what we should do to get the weight off and keep it off.

The best thing that you can do is to eat healthy; there is no way around this. You don’t need to do a fad diet like low-carb to lose weight; you can eat carbs and still drop the pounds.

What you will want to do is spend a little time thinking about what you eat in a day, and how much of it, and write this down so you have a clear idea of what you take in per day, you may even want to do it for a couple weeks to get an average of how many calories you’re taking in on a daily basis.

To find how many calories you should be taking in, you take your bodyweight * 10, so if you’re 120 pounds you would take in 1200 calories per day (this finds your BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate). But remember this is just an “about” since it doesn’t take into account exercise & your level of activity.

Now we need to talk about the amount of exercise you should be doing daily, here is a website to calculate the amount of calories you burn per amount of time you exercise:

http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc

Let’s put the fact out there that 3,500 calories is about 1 Pound. Say you take in around 250 calories a day less then your BMR and you burn 250 calories with exercise per day, over a week you will lose ~1 Pound.

Sure one pound is not the same as ten that you could lose with a low-carb in a two week period, but you have a much higher chance of keeping this weight off compared to low-carb.

Now you have a base of what you weigh, how many calories you take in currently, and BMR. The next step is to setup a diet that will fit your schedule; there are many factors that can alter this. In general a person has control over 2 out of 3 meals per day, while the other meal is decided by another person. On top of that you have to replace the old snacks between those meals with new, healthier snacks. I personally recommend baked potato chips, granola bars, and of course fruit & vegetables.

Here is a great resource that can show you foods that will help you get started on your road to success:

Recap

The key point is to eat healthy, and exercise, something that a lot of people procrastinate against. You don’t need a diet that will drop weight fast, then put it back on in a short period of time. Instead you need to eat healthy foods and get in 20-30 minutes of some form of intensive cardio (treadmill, elliptical, cycling, etc) and be active during the day. If you have some free time during the day go outside for a walk instead of watching TV or sitting around.

And remember -

Saddams Execution - Hanging Video

Saddam was tried and executed for murdering 120 Iraqi Civilians in 1982. Our modern day Hitler, ruler of a country for nearly 30 years, poisoning and executing his own people has finally gotten what was coming to him. Those in Iraq are celebrating today because now their fearsome dictator is no more. But..but..not all Iraqis celebrating this event because of the civil war they facing right now in Iraq. There is no peace in Iraq eventhough thousands of soldiers guarding every inch of land in Iraq. The Iraqis living in scare and facing death every day. Do you able to live in street waiting unknown person bombing you and your family anytime???

Thousands of Iraqi civilians died since the Civil War started after the US led war! This war started by Bush and Blair with reason to destroy bio-chemical weapons. None of these chemical weapons found yet in Iraq after 2 years. Bush declared victory after caught Saddam in Iraq. I am not sure the kind of victory he is believing by catch Saddam and his gang member. As a human I want to see peaceful Iraq without war,car bombings and etc. I may salute and respect Bush and Blair if there were achieve the victory in Iraq with priority given to the peace in ordinary Iraqis life.

I am not a cousin or fan of Saddam or supporting his actions during his life term in the world. But the point I'm making is when will Bush and Blair be held accountable for the atrocious loss of life in that country. As for killing his own civilians, it could be argued that Bush's domestic policies are doing their part there.

I am proud of the U.S's FORMER tradition of avoiding unnecessary foreign entanglements, and of realizing that the freedom of foreign individuals depends on their own volition. I am not proud that the U.S. is now viewed as the greatest threat in the world by people in other countries especially in Muslim nations.

This world would be better if everyone was ONE/United (no sides). That would include no racism, no politics, no war, no fights, etc. Unfortunately, that will never happen until the last date of world. The world will never be free and human kind will never be able to help one another. Now, the PEACE standing far out of the reach of human hands...

The great GOD is observing everything silently...may be the the punishment with big interest be given in a later date. :-)

Saddam’s execution a public murder, says Dr M

News source: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/1/2/nation/16459167&sec=nation

KUALA LUMPUR: Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has described the execution of deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein as barbaric, sadistic and a public murder.

In a statement yesterday, Dr Mahathir said the execution was sanctioned by US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whom he labelled as war criminals.

He said the act of broadcasting the execution to the world on Saturday was a travesty of justice and meant to serve as a warning to peace-loving people that they must either bow to the dictates of the Bush administration or face the consequences of a public lynching.

Dr Mahathir, who is a member of International Committee for the Defence of Saddam, said the former Iraqi strongman’s trial process was a mockery of justice and no less a kangaroo court.

“Defence counsel were brutally murdered, witnesses threatened and judges removed for being impartial and replaced by puppet judges. Yet, we are told that Iraq was invaded to promote democracy, freedom and justice,” he said.

Dr Mahathir, a vocal opponent of the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 when he was prime minister, said what happened now was that a peaceful country had been turned into a war zone.

“If Saddam is guilty of war crimes, then the world must find Bush, Blair and (Australian prime minister) John Howard equally guilty, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) cannot but prosecute these war criminals,” he said.

He said the inaction by the ICC against the three leaders thus exposed its double standard, as it did not hesitate to prosecute war crimes committed in Darfur, Rwanda and Kosovo. – Bernama
