2014 World Cup Sao Paulo : Tickets Price as High as RM3,100.00/USD990.00

SAO PAULO: Tickets for the 2014 World Cup will cost some 10 per cent more than in South Africa in 2010, with the dearest ones for international fans selling for US$990 (RM3,100) and the cheapest for US$90, officials from Fifa and Brazil’s organising committee said on Friday.

    More than one million tickets for the first phase of the tournament will go on sale on Aug 20. If they were not all sold  by Oct 10, they would be offered again from the first week of November, Thierry Weil, Fifa’s marketing director, said.

    Playing venues for the 32 qualifying teams would be decided at the draw for the finals on Dec 6 and a third phase of sales would begin two days later, Weil added. All sales would take place via fifa.com.

    Some three million tickets would be available in total, with 700,000 of them going on sale to international fans, Weil said.

    Five hundred thousand cheaper tickets would be set aside exclusively for Brazilians, with many being offered at half price to pensioners, students and people receiving government aid. The tickets, all of which are for group games, could be sold for US$15.

    “Fifa is giving everyone the chance to see matches,” said Cafu, captain of the Brazil team that won the World Cup in 2002.

    “That is important as it would be terrible for people to think that they wouldn’t be able to watch games because the tickets are too expensive.”

     Fifa said it had learnt from organisational problems at the recent Confederations Cup in Brazil and would provide more information for fans going to World Cup matches, with stadium seating plans available online.

     “In the Confederations Cup, sometimes there were people who went to stadiums and the seats weren’t there because we couldn’t check in advance,” Weil said.

     “We always found a solution for them but that is why we need the stadiums to be ready on time for the World Cup,” he said, adding that six World Cup venues still undergoing work had to be finished by Dec 21.

     The Confederations Cup, the test tournament for the World Cup, was targeted by Brazilian protesters who felt too much public money was being spent on stadiums instead of services such as hospital, schools and public transport.

     In several cities, police fired tear gas at demonstrators who tried to get near stadiums on match days.

      The World Cup kicks off in Sao Paulo on June 12 and takes place in 12 cities, with the final at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro on July 13. Reuters

Missing of Yee Tze Wei : Police request public's help to find missing girl

GEORGE TOWN: Penang Police are seeking the public's help in finding a teenage girl reported missing since 6pm yesterday.

Barat Daya district Deputy Police Chief DSP Lai Fah Hin said 14-year-old Yee Tze Wei was believed to have gone out dressed in her pyjamas after her family found her blanket on a table outside the house at MK 10 Sungai Ara Bayan Lepas, here.

"The girl's father had gone to her room to wake her up for school at 6am when he saw her missing. She also didn't bring along her spectacles," he said in a statement here today.

Police investigations found no signs of a break-in and believe the teen had left the house through the back door which was found open.

Lai said the victim's father, Yee Tee Haw, 49, admitted that he forgot to lock the door that night as another family member had yet to arrive home.

He said Yee also claimed to have no debts with loan sharks or involved in any misunderstanding with anyone.

The victim, who is 152cm tall and has shoulder length hair, was last seen in pink colored pyjamas.

Lai said police had classified the disappearance as an abduction case.

Those with information can contact Investigating Officer Insp Prem Kumar at 012-4589864 or the nearest police station. -- BERNAMA

Bakti brings festive cheer to 250 disabled kids from PDK's

IPOH: Some 250 disabled children from 10 community rehabilitation centres (PDK) were all smiles when the Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti) led by its president Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor treated them to a Hari Raya shopping trip.

The children, assisted by their minders had a great time choosing their baju raya at Mydin Wholesale Hypermarket in Jelapang.

One of the recipients Mohd Nik Fadzli Mohd Zubir, 18, said he was overjoyed to meet Rosmah.

"Of course, I am happy as this is the first time I get to see her in person. Previously, I only saw the Prime Minister's wife on television," said Nik Fadzli of PDK Seri Manjung.

Sharing Nik Fadzli's feelings was Mohd Jalaluddin Samsuddin, 22, of Sungai Lampam Utara in Sungai Manik, Teluk Intan.

"I am happy," was Jalaluddin's simple reply when asked how he felt after meeting Rosmah.

His father Samsuddin Mat Arif, 48, said the baju raya, courtesy of Bakti, would be his son's second pair.

Rosmah said the event was part of Bakti's Program Semai, a programme specifically organised to bring joy to the disabled.

She added that Bakti would donate RM10,000 to be distributed among the community rehabilitation centres in the state.

Rosmah also urged society to accept people with disabilities.

"I am confident they have the abilities that normal children have," she added.

Rosmah also urged non-governmental organisations to come up with programmes which bring benefits to these people.

"Improve your collaboration with the various parties, be it the government, corporate sector or even individuals as people of special needs are part of our society," she said.

The children were earlier given duit raya by Bakti.

Kids left in locked car : 'Charging Negligent Parents Not the Solution'

KUALA LUMPUR: While any act of negligence that causes a child's death is reprehensible, charging the parents in court is not the solution, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim.

She said although parents could be charged with negligence, it would not be the best solution.

"Many feel that losing a child is punishment enough and they need not be put through further torment."

Under the Child Act 2001, negligent parents or childcare providers can be sentenced to a maximum fine of RM20,000 or 10 years' jail, or both, upon conviction.

Rohani was commenting on the 3-year-old girl who died after being left alone in her mother's parked car for more than six hours at SMK USJ4 in Subang Jaya on Thursday.

Nawal Iris Samsudin was found dead by her mother, Norzatusy Hazwa Abdul Rahim, 32, at 5.30pm when the teacher was about to go home after work.

Initial investigations found that Norzatusy Hazwa had forgotten to send Nawal Iris to the nursery before she went to work. Rohani said parents, who played the ultimate role in caring for their child, should not be the cause of their death.

She added that no sane parent would harm their child or put them in a dangerous situation.

"It is understandable for parents to juggle between career and responsibilities, but they should not overlook their children's safety."

In light of this, she said the ministry would discuss with the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) on introducing new modules in the LPPKN's parenting course to prevent a recurrence of such incidents.

"But this is would only serve as a guide. Ultimately, it is in the hands of the parents," she said after disbursing aid to 300 single mothers, old folk, and poor and orphaned children at the Putra World Trade Centre here.

Do you use Gas for cooking? Must Read

Please read this and take note. Let this not happen to you. This could be a common 

mistake 

in any household.

This shocking accident happened recently. A housewife died due to burns sustained in the kitchen.

Her husband too was hospitalized for injuries due to burns while trying to rescue his wife.

How it happened:

The gas cooker was on and cooking in progress.

The lady observed some cockroaches near the sink and grabbed a can of insect killer and 

sprayed it near the gas stove, which was on. There was an explosion and in no time the 

poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns.


Her husband rushed in, tried to put out the flames and his clothes too caught fire.

The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward, still unaware that his wife was declared 

dead on arrival.

Let us understand that:

All insect killer sprays such as "Raid","Mortein", Sheltos etc have highly volatile and 

inflammable solvents.

The atomized nano spray particles spread very rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite 

this explosive mixture with oxygen present in air.

Please educate your family & Friends about this and spread the word around....

Mengapa Yahudi Bijak?

Mengapa Yahudi Bijak? 

Setelah berada 3 tahun di Israel kerana menjalani housemanship di beberapa hospital di sana, ada beberapa perkara yang menarik dapat saya perhatikan untuk dijadikan tesis ini, iaitu “Mengapa Yahudi Bijak?”.

Memang tidak dapat dinafikan ramai cendekiawan berbangsa Yahudi dari segala bidang, engineering, muzik, saintis dan yang paling hebat ialah bidang perniagaan, di mana ia memang paling tersohor. Hampir 70% perniagaan di dunia dikuasai oleh kaum Yahudi, dari kosmetik, pakaian, pemakanan, senjata, perhotelan, perfileman di Hollywood dan sebagainya.Ketika tahun kedua, akhir bulan December 1980 dan sedang saya menghitung hari untuk pulang ke California saya terfikir apakah sebabnya kaum Yahudi begitu pintar?

Kenapa tuhan memberi kelebihan kepada mereka? Apakah ini suatu kebetulan? Atau olah manusia sendiri? Adakah bijak boleh dijana? Seperti kilang pengeluaran?Maka saya pun tergerak membuat tesis untuk Phd saya, di samping kebaikan untuk umat sejagat dan dapat hidup secara harmoni. Untuk pengetahuan anda tesis yang saya lakukan ini mengambil masa hampir lapan tahun, ini kerana untuk mengumpulkan data-data yang setepat mungkin.

Antara data-data yang saya kumpulkan ialah pemakanan, adat resam, ugama, persiapan awal untuk melahirkan zuriat dan sebagainya dan data-data tadi saya cuba bandingkan dengan bangsa dan kaum-kaum lain.Marilah kita mulakan dengan persiapan awal melahirkan zuriat.

Di Israel, setelah mengetahui yang sang ibu sedang mengandung, pertama kali saya perhatikan ialah, sang ibu akan sering menyanyi dan bermain piano dan si ibu dan bapa akan membeli buku metamatik dan menyelesaikan masalah metamatik bersama suami, saya sungguh hairan kerana teman saya yang mengandung sering membawa buku metamatik dan bertanya kepada saya beberapa soalan yang beliau tak dapat menyelesaikanya, oleh kerana saya memang minat tentang metamatik, tentu saja dengan senang saya bantu beliau. Saya bertanya kepada beliau, adakah ini untuk anak kamu?

Beliau menjawab, “Ya, ini untuk anak saya yang masih di dalam kandungan, saya sedang melatih otak beliau, semuga ia menjadi genius apabila dewasa kelak” Perkara ini membuat saya tertarik untuk mengikut perkembangan beliau seterusnya. Berbalik kepada metamatik tadi, tanpa merasa jemu beliau membuat latihan metamatik sehingga beliau melahirkan anak.Seperkara lagi yang saya perhatikan ialah pemakanan beliau, sejak awal mengandung beliau gemar sekali memakan kacang badam dan korma bersama susu , dan untuk tengah hari makan utama beliau ialah roti dan ikan tanpa kepala bersama salad yang digaul dengan badam dan berbagai jenis kekacang, menurut beliau daging ikan sungguh baik untuk perkembangan otak dan kepala ikan mengandungi kimia yang tidak baik yang dapat merosakkan pengembangan dan penumbuhan otak anak di dalam kandungan.

Menurut beliau ini adalah adat orang-orang yahudi ketika mengandung dan ianya menjadi semacam kewajipan untuk ibu-ibu yang sedang mengandung mengambil pil minyak ikan.Ketika saya diundang untuk makan malam bersama orang-orang Yahudi, perkara pertama yang saya perhatikan ialah menu mereka. Setiap undangan yg saya perhatikan ialah mereka gemar sekali memakan ikan (hanya isi atau fillet) dan biasanya daging tidak akan ada bersama di meja jika ada ikan, menurut mereka, campuran daging dan ikan tak elok dimakan bersama. Salad dan kacang adalah suatu kemestian, terutama badam.

Seperkara yang pelik ialah mereka akan memakan bua- buahan dahulu sebelum memakan hidangan utama. Jangan terperanjat jika anda diundang ke rumah Yahudi anda akan dihidangkan buah-buahan dahulu. Menurut mereka, dengan memakan hidangan kabohidrat (nasi atau roti) dahulu kemudian buah-buahan, ini akan menyebabkan kita merasa ngantuk dan lemah dan payah untuk memahami pelajaran di sekolah.Di Israel, merokok adalah taboo, apabila anda diundang makan di rumah Yahudi, jangan sekali kali merokok, dan tanpa malu mereka akan menyuruh anda keluar dari rumah mereka dan merokok di luar rumah mereka. Menurut saintis di Universiti Israel, siasatan menunjukkan nikotin dapat merosakkan sel utama pada otak manusia dan akan melekat pada genes, ini bermakna keturunan perokok bakal membawa generasi yg cacat otak (bodoh atau lembab).

Suatu penemuan yg dahsyat ditemui oleh saintis yg mendalami bidang genes dan DNA. Para perokok harap ambil perhatian. (Ironinya, pemilik pengeluar rokok terbesar adalah…… tekalah sendiri..!)Perhatian saya selanjutnya ialah melawati tadika mereka, Pemakanan anak-anak tadi cukup dikawal, makanan awal ialah buah buahan bersama kacang badam, diikuti dengan menelan pil minyak ikan (code oil lever) Di dalam pengamatan saya, kanak Yahudi sungguh bijak dan rata-rata mereka memahami 3 bahasa iaitu Hebrew, Arab dan Inggeris dan sedari awal lagi mereka telah dilatih bermain piano dan violin, ini adalah suatu kewajipan. Menurut mereka bermain musik dan memahami nota-notanya dapat meningkatkan lagi IQ kanak-kanak dan sudah tentu bakal menjadikan budak itu bijak.Ini menurut saintis Yahudi, gegaran musik dapat stimulate (semacam senaman untuk otak) maka itu terdapat ramai sekali genius musik terdiri dari kaum Yahudi.Seterusnya ke darjah 1 hingga 6, anak anak Yahudi akan diajar metamatik berkonsepkan perniagaan dan pelajaran sains amatlah diberi keutamaan. Di dalam perhatian peribadi saya, perbandingan dengan anak anak di California, ianya jauh berbeza tentang IQ dan boleh saya katakan 6 tahun kebelakang!!!.

Segala pelajaran akan dengan mudah ditangkap oleh anak Yahudi. Selain dari pelajaran tadi sukan juga menjadi kewajipan bagi mereka dan sukan yg diberi keutamaan ialah memanah, menembak dan berlari, menurut teman saya ini, memanah dan menembak dapat melatih otak memfokus sesuatu perkara disamping mempermudahkan persiapan untuk perhidmatan negara.Selanjutnya pemerhatian saya menuju ke sekolah tinggi (menengah) di sini murid-murid ditekan dengan pelajaran mata sains dan mereka digalakkan mencipta produk, segala projek mereka walaupon kadangkala kelihatannya lucu dan mengarut, tetap diteliti dengan serius apatah lagi ianya berupa senjata, perubatan dan engineering, idea itu akan dibawa ke institute tinggi di Politeknik dan Universiti.Satu lagi yg di beri keutamaan ialah fakulti perniagaan.

Saya sungguh terperanjat melihat mereka begitu agresif dan seriusnya mereka tentang perniagaan. Di akhir tahun di universiti, para penuntut di bidang niaga dikehendaki melakukan projek dan mempraktikkannya dan anda hanya akan lulus jika kumpulan anda (10 pelajar setiap kumpulan) dapat keuntungan sebanyak $US1juta! Anda terperanjat? Itulah kenyataan, dengan rangkaian seluruh dunia dan ditaja sepenuhnya oleh syarikat milik Yahudi, maka tidak hairanlah mereka dapat menguasai ½ perniagaan di dunia! Siapakah yg mencipta design Levis yg terkini?

Ianya dicipta di Universiti Israel oleh fakulti bisnes dan fesyen.Pernahkah anda melihat cara orang Yahudi melakukan ibadah mereka? Salah satu caranya ialah dengan menggoyangkan kepala mereka, menurut mereka ini dapat mengaktifkan otak mereka dan menambahkan oksijan di kepala, banyak ugama lain di Timur Tengah, seperti Islam juga ada menyuruh umatnya menunduk atau menggoyangkan kepala, ini guna dapat mensimulasikan otak kita supaya bertambah aktif.

Lihat orang orang Jepun, mereka sering menunduk-nundukkan kepala dan ianya sebagai adat. Ramai orang orang Jepun yg pandai? Adakah ianya sebagai kebetulan? Kegemaran mereka ialah sushi (ikan mentah). Adakah ini kebetulan? Fikirkanlah!Berpusat di New York, Dewan perniagaan Yahudi bersedia membantu mereka yg berminat untuk melakukan bisnes (sudah tentu untuk Yahudi sahaja) jika mereka ada idea yg bernas, jawatan kuasa akan memberi pinjaman tanpa faedah dan pentadbir dari jawatan kuasa tadi akan bekerjasama dengan anda untuk memastikan yg perniagaan mereka menurut landasan yg betul.

Maka itu lahirlah Starbuck, Dell Computer, Coca-cola, DKNY, Oracle, Perfileman di Hollywood, Levis, Dunkin Donut dan ada beratus kedai ternama di bawah naungan dewan perniagaan Yahudi di New York. Graduan Yahudi dari fakulti perubatan New York akan disarankan untuk mendaftar di persatuan ini dan digalakkan memulakan klinik mereka sendiri dengan bantuan wang tanpa faedah, barulah saya tahu mengapa hospital di New York dan California sentiasa kekurangan doktor pakar.

Kesimpulannya, pada teori saya, melahirkan anak dan keturunan yang bijak boleh dilaksanakan dan tentunya bukan semalaman, ianya memerlukan masa, beberapa generasi mungkin? Persiapan awal adalah ketika sang ibu mengandung, galakkanlah si ibu melakukan latihan matematik yg mudah tetapi konsisten di samping mendengar musik klasik. Seterusnya ubahlah cara pemakanan, makanlah makanan yg elok dan berkhasiat yg baik untuk otak, menghayati musik sejak kecil adalah baik sekali untuk penumbuhan otak kanak-kanak, dengan bermain piano dan violin sudah tentu dapat melatih anak-anak mencerdaskan otak mereka demikian juga sukan yg memerlukan konsetrasi yg tinggi, seperti memanah, bola keranjang, dart dan menembak.

Merokok menjanjikan generasi yg moron (goblok) dan sudah tentu genes bodoh akan mengikut ke generasi si perokok. Lawatan saya ke Singapore pada tahun 2005 amat memeranjatkan sekali, di sini perokok seperti dianak tirikan dan begitu susah sekali untuk perokok dan anda tahu berapa harga sekotak rokok? US$7 !!! Ini bersamaan perbelanjaan sehari untuk makan anda!! Saya puji sekali sikap pemerintah Singapore dan menkjubkan sekali!!! Dan seperti Israel ianya begitu taboo dan cara pentadbiran dan segi pembelajaran mereka hampir serupa dengan Israel, maka itu saya lihat banyak institusi pelajaran mereka bertaraf dunia walaupun hakikatnya negeri Singapore hanyalah sebuah pulau sebesar Manhattan!!

Anda mungkin musykil, benarkah merokok dapat melahirkan generasi goblok, saya telah menemui beberapa bukti menyokong teori ini. Lihat saja Indonesia, jika anda ke Jakarta, di mana saja anda berada, dari restoran, teater, kebun bunga hingga ke musium hidung anda akan segera terbau asak rokok! Dan harga rokok? Cuma US$ 0.70 !!! dan hasilnya? Dengan penduduknya berjumlah jutaan orang berapa banyakkah universiti terdapat di sana? Hasil apakah yg dapat dibanggakan? Teknologi? Jauh sekali. Adakah mereka dapat berbahasa selain dari bahasa mereka sendiri? Mengapa mereka begitu sukar sekali menguasai bahasa Inggeris? Di tangga berapakah kedudukan mereka di pertandingan matematik sedunia? Adakah ini bukan akibat merokok? Anda fikirlah sendiri.

Di tesis saya ini, saya tidak akan menimbulkan soal ugama atau bangsa, adakah Yahudi itu zalim sehingga diusir dari semenjak zaman Paraoh hingga ke Hitler, bagi saya itu isu politik dan survival, yg ingin saya ketengahkan ialah, mampukah kita dapat melahirkan generasi yg bijak seperti Yahudi? Jawapannya ialah mungkin dan tidak mustahil dan ianya memerlukan perubahan, dari segi pemakanan dan cara mendididik anak dan saya kira hanya memerlukan 3 generasi sahaja.

Ini dapat saya lihat sendiri tentang cucu saya, ini setelah saya mengajar anak saya melalui program yg telah saya nyatakan di atas tadi, pada umur 9 tahun (cucu saya) dia dapat menulis esei sepanjang 5 mukasurat penuh. Esei nya hanyalah mengenai 'Mengapa saya gemarkan tomato!'Selamat sejahtera dan semuga kita dapat melahirkan manusia yang bijak dan bersifat mulia untuk kebaikan manusia sejagat tanpa mengenal batasan bangsa.

Alvivi : Alvin and Vivian Paying the Price for Misstep

RESPECT: It should not be in our DNA to provoke religious sentiments or to ridicule the religion of others

ALVIN and Vivian. I had quite forgotten their shenanigans of last year.  You know -- their viral online sex romps that got them in big trouble.

But Alvivi -- as they want to be known -- yet again caused outrage among Malaysians last week with a rather mischievous and provocative Ramadan posting on Facebook. It would have been so sweet had they not shown themselves enjoying bak kut teh -- a herbal pork dish -- with a halal sign displayed.

It looks like this time they have crossed the line. On Thursday, Alvin Tan Jye Yee, 25 and Vivian Lee, 24 claimed trial to three charges under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act 1948 in connection with their posting and the uploading of an obscene photograph online.

They are liable to a maximum fine of RM5,000 or up to three years' imprisonment or both.

They were denied bail and are now in remand until the disposal of their case which has been set for mention on Aug 23. Tan is in Sungai Buloh prison while Lee is in Kajang prison.

Frankly, I was not angry when I saw their posting but I was sure many others would be. Perhaps because the month of Ramadan had dulled my senses or that I do believe people can say what they want and, yes, face the consequences of their action.

I do remember the word "stupid" flashing in my head, though.

They had posted: "Izinkan kami memperkenalkan cara kami memupuk semangat 1Malaysia dengan bertukar-tukar makanan antara kaum-kaum Malaysia pada musim perayaan yang mulia ini. Hak untuk menikmati juadah enak tempatan seharusnya merentasi batasan bangsa dan juga agama. Kepada saudara-saudari yang beragama Islam, selamat berbuka puasa dan Salam Aidilfitri! - Sahabatmu, Alvin dan Vivian."

(Allow us to introduce our way of inculcating the spirit of 1Malaysia by exchanging food among the races in Malaysia during this holy celebration. The right to enjoy local delicacies should cross the boundaries of race and also religion. To Muslims, happy breaking fast and Salam Aidilfitri -- Your friends, Alvin and Vivian).

Did they not expect the heavy angry online backlash that came so immediate from both Muslims and non-Muslims? On top of that, Utusan Malaysia had their story on page one.

Although the reaction was fast and furious, the couple had their defenders and sympathisers. Perhaps these people have a fantastic sense of humour, unlike the rest of us.

Others asked how could the couple be seen as worse than the group of people who carried a cow's head to protest against the relocation of a Hindu temple in Shah Alam 2010.

If you asked me, I think what those protesters did was terrible, and no, not all Muslims would think of doing that. The court was also not amused and punished the 12 protesters.

So, I was surprised that these two people thought it was okay to post something like that.

I have always thought that it is not in the Malaysian or Singaporean DNA to provoke religious sentiments or to ridicule the religion of others simply because we have learnt all these years to give mutual respect to each other's religion.

We just don't do it and certainly not in the way Tan and Lee did it. We get careless sometimes and provoke racial sentiments but that is another story. Religious sentiments? A definite no-no.

If by now we do not know that already, then we certainly have it coming. Tan and Lee had it coming although I am not sure whether they did it deliberately or in their youthful innocence without malice.

This is not to say that no Malaysian had ever deliberately or otherwise incited religious sentiments. Some like the 12 cow-head protesters paid the price.

Reading the responses in social media from young non-Muslim Malaysians chiding Tan, my confidence in my fellow Malaysians is reinforced.

When contacted by The Star, Tan said: "No reason. Just a joke, I guess.

"I was just curious to see how people will perceive it. It seems not everybody is on the same page as us. It is dark humour. It is just our attempt to see how it will be perceived. It is just trying to be humorous on the matter."

If the couple had wanted to push the parameters, they succeeded.

Many ignored them. Many more were offended. But for sure, no one laughed. If Tan and Lee found it funny, they are not laughing now.
