Dept to check on situation at Tadika

Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Acting Health Director Dr Mohd Yusof Ibrahim said personnel will be sent from the department's Public Health Division to check out the situation at Tadika Chung Hwa in Lido, Penampang.

This followed reports from a grandmother that two of her grandchildren were diagnosed by a private doctor as having symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD).

According to the grandmother, her granddaughter suffered the symptoms earlier this month, followed by a younger one with similar symptoms on July 15.

Isaac also have the symptoms .. and the doctor suspected it to be HFMD, so do you think I should report it? They said "parents whose children have been diagnosed with symptoms of HFMD have been advised to inform the department's contact number or nearest health office for their immediate action." What action?? nahhh .. I don't think so lah .. hehe or maybe I should check with the school if there is any sick babies there ....

Update 2

Cheaper Milk ?? (DE @ 24th July 2008)

Cheaper milk

Penang: The Government will next year announce a new "growing up" milk product for children above two years of age, which is expected to be 30 per cent cheaper than the current milk price.

The product will be manufactured by a government-linked company whose name Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad declined to reveal. He said the milk would not be advertised in any media.

Instead, it will be directly put on sale in hypermarkets and shopping malls.

"The main reason for the price to be 30 per cent less is because the product will not carry any advertising cost," he said.

He said the Ministry needed more time to prepare the programme, adding that it had identified the producer.

Wow .. cheaper milk? that's a good news, isn't it? Well, nowadays formula milk is really really expensive. And I have 2 kids still on formula milk! (my gawddd..I am actually trying to make Phoebe to stop on formula milk.Lisa, how do u do it?) So , I'm waiting for it! Is this going to be like the "beras subsidi" by the government? where people will rush to the hypermarket to get their "susu subsidi" hehe ...so I'll be one of them, then? hmmm...

Update 3

I was reading Lisa's blog few days ago about the US Airways,can they fly or not? Well it's a bit scary when they said they are just going to bring "just enough" fuel for the trip .. I mean, what if something happen on the way? Well I'm sure the US airways have their own reason behind that. Anyway what really caught my attention is how they react on the problem ...

Ray (spokesman for the US Airlines Pilot) said soaring jet fuel prices have sent all the airlines scrambling to find ways to cut the weight of airliners because the heavier the plane, the more fuel the plane burns. US Airways, based in Tempe, Ariz., has recently removed movie players, redesigned its meal carts and replaced glassware with plastic to reduce weight.

"and"

US Airways is also buying more fuel-efficient aircraft and cutting inefficient routes from its network. Still, an average round trip flight costs about $299 worth of fuel per passenger, company officials said

Air asia : What? increase again aahh ..aiyahh die lorr like this ..aiya don't increase fare ..we increase the airport tax lah ..or we sell whatever we can on air ... like safety belt for rent at 4.99 maybe? or rent 1 safety jacket at 8.99 and you get the 2nd unit at half price!
