...Independence Day The Independence Day is an annual celebration by the whole world but Malaysian names it as a Merdeka Day. All countries honour their respective independence day, celebrating it as a national holiday. Thus, on the 31 August every year, it is marked as the Malaysian Independence Day. However, there are lot differences of celebrating the Independence Day on 31 August and today in terms of spirit and technology. The differences of celebrating the Independence Day on 31 August 1957 and today is the spirit of independence. The new generations do not know how to appreciate the freedom that they have today. For instance, people nowadays do not understand the real meaning of the historic day. In addition, it can be seen that many teenagers nowadays prefer to have a party to celebrate the day. In contrast, people in the past had a strong spirit for independence. As a consequence, they really understood the real meaning of freedom because they fought for their country. In brief, people in the past appreciated the real meaning of freedom and their patriotism is stronger than people today. Next, people today use a different technology to celebrate the Independence Day compared to the past. . Nowadays, technology helps people to realize the real meaning of freedom. On the other hand, people today use technology like radio and internet to raise the spirit of patriotism among them.

This trip is very precious since the rubber land will be sold in the future. We left UCSI University by 1.30 p.m to RRIM by bus. We were looking forward to this trip since we had not even look before a proper rubber tree since we were born. We were also curious about how rubber tree can make so much money by collecting the latex early in the morning that we heard from our ancestors. We reached RRIM at Sungai Buloh after half an hour. When we arrived, we started to bring out our cameras to take photograph of the rubber tree. We even knew the background of RRIM and clones of rubber tree from the person in charge. Henry Wicham had collected 9 rubber seeds and brought to Malaysia. Mr. Tan Chian Yian was the first rubber planter who managed to plant rubber trees commercially in Melaka. Since then rubber trees were planted at many areas till today. Later on, the staff demonstrated how to produce a best clone rubber tree which had high quality of timber and lots of latex and thus increase income. This process can improve the growth rate and is tappable in 4 years after planting. Although the process of cloning of the tree was complicated, it can give lots of advantage. After seeing how to produce a best rubber tree, Mr. Azman...

More than one third of airlines’ revenue is consumed by the industry’s work force. Revenue from aircraft industry can be simplified as from sources such as passengers (75 percent), cargo shippers (15 percent) and other transport services. About 80 percent of passenger revenue comes from domestic tickets, while frequent flyers, which travel more than 10 times annually, constitute about 40 percent of trips but only 8 percent of the total flying public. What is ‘crisis’? A crisis is any event that is, or expected to lead to, an unstable and dangerous situation affecting an individual, group, community or whole society. Crises are...

...A Trip to Malaysia Travelling is a sense of adventure that excites people, and also is a big chance for us to learn about other cultures and the way people live their lives. While many tourists travel to France, England or some famous countries in Europe, fewer travel to a small country in Asia. As someone who loves to explore and enjoy new things, 3 years ago in the summer, my boyfriend and I decided to backpack to Malaysia. It was a fantastic trip and an amazing experience for us that you should definitely try it. In this country, there are three destinations that travelers should not miss: the Petronas Twin Towers, Golden Triangle area, and The Genting Highland Park. When we arrived into Kuala Lumpur, we headed straight to the Petronas Twin Towers, which are also known as the world’s tallest tower. They are an impressive icon of the capital of Malaysia that are visible from about everywhere in the city, and dominate the night sky. The Petronas Twin Towers are 1,483 feet tall, have 88 stories, and were completed in 1998. The architecture was very magnificent from the outside, especially at night, they look like ice sculptures. The most attractive architecture of the tower is that at the 41st and 42nd level, there is a skybridge connecting the two towers. The bridge is 170 meters above the ground, 58 meters long and weighs 750 tons. My boyfriend and I drove the high-speed lift that zooms up to the skybridge on the 41st floor; we walked across the skybridge to take some pictures...

...overseas to a place full of diversity and excitement. I have not traveled overseas before, and this experience was incredibly worthwhile. In the past, I have seen the neighbor country, Thailand but never a greater change in landscape, culture, and education as I did in Singapore. It was an utterly remarkable trip! It was a pleasant change to have the majority of Singaporeans, be polite and mannerly -- something that is not always existent in our Malaysia lifestyle. For example, they will not cut the line when buying things, or when using evaluator they will stand aside to let the busy people pass through. The people at this function were again extremely kind, helpful, and conversant, and it made the trip ever so much more easily and save time. Besides that, I also joined the Society of automotive engineers (SAE) to visit the proton industry last month. It was gratifying experience to explore at proton industry and learn about the proton engines and its other developments. Cam-Pro engine as we know as the most save energy engine in Malaysia, it was development by combining Lotus technology with proton own technology after the proton purchase the Lotus Company. In the trips, we visit emission lab, engine lab,(Component Material Safety and Strength) CMSS lab and noise lab. In addition, I also found out proton industry also related to my own course, telecommunication when came to visit the noise lab. It was about the sound interference inside the car and its influence to engine...

...Review Case 1.1 Explain how Henry Miller uses outside resources to drive innovation. Identify the additional resources might they need if expanding to a new market like Malaysia. Henry Miller work is innovated by his own expertise, but does not end there. Instead of creating the designs for his company within, he outsources the company’s creative work to professional designers and fully understands that he could benefit from the creativity of his staff as well. By allowing his staff to take part in design, he is able to generate unlimited ideas, which means the company’s chances of producing quality designs are greater. I like the fact that his company focuses on “green” production and design by recycling waste and using resources from renewable supply sources to support our environment. If he would like to expand to a new market like Malaysia, he and his staff should study the culture of Malaysia, and create designs in demand in this specific marketplace. If he hired local people from Malaysia, he would better understand the culture, and that could be of great advantage because hiring the right people matters. Mr. Miller could sponsor a trip for his employees to Malaysia where they could meet with potential co-workers from Malaysia in an effort to determine goals, challenges and opportunities in the specific marketplace.

...believe Malaysia is relatively stable, both politically and economically. In a lot of ways, though, I feel we are being held back, to some extent, by several key factors. One of these, a divide between the different communities in Malaysia, I’ve been aware of at very least since middle school. We were always taught about how the component races of Malaysia are different, how we live together under a social contract, and how we shouldn’t question our differences. There is an undercurrent of mistrust between different communities, and it is often far too easy to pit ourselves against each other. It is however the lack of freedom Malaysians have, relative to more developed societies, which I now think is more of a problem. I have reached this conclusion recently, helped by having lived in the United Kingdom for the last 6 years, observing here not just the parent of the Westminster political system Malaysia applies, but also the media, the free flow of opinions and ultimately how much more engaged ordinary people in the UK feel with their role in the future of their country. There are laws in place that allow the Malaysian government to freely detain without trial anyone they believe is a threat to this established social norm, many key opposition leaders and activists have been detained under these, including once my aunt Meena Raman for her role as a lawyer defending social activists. I understand, however, the issues I believe are currently facing Malaysia cannot...

These bus companies usually converge at the same location in the airport to drop off or pick up passengers, so look for this particular Star Shuttle.That's because this company's buses will make a stop at Puduraya, which is just next to Chinatown...that's where you get off. Then this bus will continue its journey to somewhere else. The fare from KLIA to Puduraya is only RM10. Most of the other shuttle buses from KLIA will stop at KL Sentral, which is quite a distance from Chinatown. Hope this helps. • 2. hotel A-one - 17 Jalan Medan Pasar, Kuala Lumpur 50050, Malaysia - ish ish This is a great little hotel.
