SundayStronger Under Najib: Mahathir

A He said if Najib were to give more time before announcing the date of the general election, support for the BN could be further strengthened.“They (the opposition) said that after 55 years of the BN administration, it is time for a change. You should change for the better, but if the change is for something worse?” he told reporters during the Raya open house at his residence, near here, attended by about 10,000 people including the Prime Minister.Currently, the opposition

was spreading the senti-ment of hatred among the people against the government as one of its tactics, said the former prime minister.He said the opposition’s priority now was to instil the feelings of hatred against the government and including attacks made against himself who no longer held pow-er.“Why attack me as I have no power, it’s as though there is this feel-ing of hatred against me, they live on such ha-tred,” he said. - Bernama

Fury Over Anti-Sarawak Posting ProblemBy Muhammad Nabil [email protected]

KUCHING - Anti-Sarawak postings have appeared on a social network-ing site again. A Facebook group calling itself Semenanjung Anti Sarawak (Penin-sula Anti Sarawak) and Bunuh War-ga Sarawak Kat Semenanjung (Kill Sarawakians in Peninsula) had irked many Sarawakians as its postings went viral yesterday. The postings, which were full of insults and derogatory language, had come to the knowledge of Deputy Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof. “I was tagged along these posts and I am aware of them. And this is not the first post with such a tone.” He called on all Malaysians to stand up against such postings and take action by lodging a police report. Earlier this year, similar postings also appeared on Facebook. However, police

have yet to trace the administrators of the group. Sarawak Criminal Investigation Depart-ment chief Datuk Zulkifli Hassan said they had yet to receive any report on the mat-ter. “This could be the same people who posted similar postings on Facebook earlier this year,” said Zulkifli. Other Facebook users had also made counter-postings on the site.

Child Labour In Malaysia? By Muhammad Nabil [email protected]

3

KUALA LUMPUR - Recent figures from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) show that: • Globally, 1 in 6 children work• 218 million children aged 5 – 17 are involved in child labour world wide• 126 million children work in hazardous conditions• The highest numbers of child labourers are in the Asia/Pacific region, where there are

122 million working children• The highest proportion of child labourers is in Sub Saharan Africa, where 26% of chil-

dren (49 million) are involved in work. How are the above figures relevant in Malaysia’s context? Are there really working children in our country? A simple walk around town will reveal a number of babies and young children who are being used to beg along five foot ways, pedestrian bridges, bus stops and so on (See 1 below). A recent news report from Star Metro (24/08/10) ob-served that about 20 children accompanied by their families were foraging for junk in the Bukit Beruntung landfill. Most of us would have thought that such situations only exist in very difficult countries. Article 32 from the Convention of the Rights of the Children talks about the child’s right to be protected from work that threatens his or her health, education or develop-ment. The article stresses that “The State” shall set minimum ages for employment and regulate working conditions. Have the parents’ difficult living conditions driven them to forget the need to protect their own children from the dangers of being left on the

street and garbage fills? Are our social structures and state mechanisms so in-adequate that families are not able find solutions to get themselves out of this economic rut? SUKA Society is cur-rently working towards starting children activity centers in low cost flats or slum areas. We hope that by having these centers in strategic locations; financially struggling parents are given the time to work without the worry of their children being left alone and without need to place their kids in welfare homes (See 2 below). We hope that by doing this, we re-duce the likelihood of children being neglected and indirectly release their parents to work to improve their own

economic situation. Will parents take advantage of this opportunity to become self reli-ant and self sustainable for the sake of their own children? Or have the feelings of help-lessness set in so deep that we will need to move mountains just to change one’s mind-set?

VLADIVOSTOK (Russia) - MALAYSIA and Thailand are looking at the possibil-ity of developing a large-scale rubber and rubber industry-based development on the Kedah-Thai border to stabilise falling rubber prices.Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak yes-terday discussed the plan with his Thai counterpart, Yingluck Shinawatra, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) Leaders Summit here.Najib told reporters that Malaysia had ap-pointed former prime minister Tun Dr Ma-hathir Mohamad to lead a study on the “Rubber City” joint plan while Yingluck said the project would help bring stability to the nation’s restive south.Najib, who arrived here on Friday, also held meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key.In his meeting with Putin, Najib said both countries saw the need to expand coop-eration beyond just military hardware and aerospace industries.Najib told Putin he wanted more Russians to visit Malaysia and that both countries might work together in the non-oil energy industries, such as coal.He said Malaysian companies should ex-plore mining opportunities in Russia and more Russian firms should invest in Malaysia.Putin offered Russia’s expertise in high-technology sectors, such as nuclear energy development, military hardware and com-munication.Najib said Malaysia had agreed to support Russia’s effort to host the World Exposition 2020.In his meeting with Gillard, Najib said Can-

berra had agreed to look deeper at the failed proposed legislation concerning ref-ugees seeking asylum in Australia through Malaysia. Gillard said the Australian gov-ernment would work towards a new draft for tabling.Najib said: “Our only request is that we should not be a target for criticism, should there be debate regarding such legislation in Australia.” Both leaders agreed to seek ways to expand bilateral trade, which in-creased by 10.9 per cent to reach RM37.92 billion last year.In the meeting with Key, Najib said both leaders recognised that bilateral trade be-tween the two nations had increased since Kuala Lumpur and Wellington signed a free-trade agreement.Key thanked the Malaysian government for sending its medical support group to war-torn Afghan-istan, especially in the Bami-yan area where New Zealand peacekeep-ers were stationed.Keys said New Zealand would end its mis-sion in Afghanistan in April.

MUMBAI - A Press conference was re-cently held in Mumbai to announce its re-lease on Sept 21. At the event was director Madhur Bhandarkar and actress Kareena Kapoor who turns 32 on that day too.When asked why filmgoers should watch the film, director Madhur replied: ”Kareena, Kareena, Kareena.“Kareena also expressed her hopes that the film industry opens up on female-oriented films. ”It‘s a male-dominated industry. One Dirty Picture and a Heroine can‘t change the tide. It‘s not the actor alone. Even the director needs to change this mindset,“ said Kareena.She was also asked about her forthcoming marriage to Saif Ali Khan. And as usual, she did not give a direct answer. ”Everything I do becomes a national issue. I may well be married you know. How would that make a difference? I could have been married three years ago and still done a Heroine. But yes, you will know when I do.“Kareena plays the role of Bollywood actress Mahi Arora and the film revolves around Mahi‘s life as a star.”I think the film is 80 per cent based on real events. I was watching it while dubbing for the film and I was shocked! After viewing this film, people will know what happens in the personal life of actresses,“ said Karee-na.Asin finds success in BollywoodKOLLYWOOD actress Asin will soon be seen as a Marathi girl in the film Khiladi 786, re-ports The Hindu. She stars alongside Akshay Kumar and Mithun Chakraborthy. The ac-tion comedy is produced by Akshay and HimeshReshammiya. Asin, who plays Mithun’s sis-

ter, had to learn the Maharashtra accent for the role. She has tried her hand in Bol-lywood films, tasting success in Ready, Housefull 2 and Bol Bachan.“All I can say is I do have a knack of pick-ing up good stories and if these get ap-preciated, with or without the Rs.100 crore (RM562,000) business, it makes me satisfied. I am also very happy that I have started work with big stars such as Aamir, Salman, Ajay (Devgn) and Akshay right away un-like others who begin with smaller films. Bol-lywood works in a very different way. I am glad to have found my space here,” she said.


Did you seen the Nike Harimau Malaya football poster? No doubt they delivered the message well through their latest poster. Nike Harimau Malaya posters features three (3) Harimau Malaya football stars whom are Aidil Zafuan, Zaquan Adha and Nizaruddin Yusof.

The posters sure will impress people and the concept, design and also the tagline of the posters could be said a world class quality in it.


Seoul Court Slaps Both Apple And SamsungBy Muhammad Nabil [email protected]

SEOUL - Samsung Electronics Co’s flag-ship Galaxy smartphone looks very similar to Apple’s iPhone, but the South Korean firm did not violate the iPhone design, a court here ruled yesterday. The judge ordered Samsung to imme-diately stop selling 10 products, including the Galaxy S II, and also banned sales of four Apple products, including the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. The court ruled that Apple infringed two of Samsung’s wireless technology pat-ents and was ordered to pay Samsung 40 million won (RM109,000). Samsung was fined 25 million won for violating a patent relating to the so-called bouncing-back function used when scroll-ing electronic documents. The compensation sought by both Ap-ple and Samsung in South Korea is small due to the relatively small size of the mar-ket.

The South Korean ruling comes as the two technology titans are locked in a high-stakes global patent battle that mirrors a fierce rivalry for industry supremacy be-

tween two companies that control more than half the world’s smartphone sales. The wrangle was triggered by Apple’s suit in April last year, claiming Samsung slavishly copied Apple’s smartphones and tablets. Samsung had countered that it simply developed its own “unique” prod-ucts in a bid to “best the competition” and that Apple actually owes money for using its patented technology.

In the United States, Apple is demanding more than US$2.5 billion (RM7.75 billion) in damages and an order to perma-nently ban Samsung from selling patent-infringing products. Samsung argues Apple owes US$422 million for violating a clutch of its patents. Neither Apple nor Samsung had an

immediate comment on the Seoul ruling. Reuters.


History Of Low Key Photography

Low-key Photo Of Tiger

Low-key Photo Of Cat


Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography, film or television. It is a nec-essary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point lighting uses a key light, a fill light, and a back light for illumination. Low-key lighting often uses only one key light, optionally controlled with a fill light or a simple reflector. Low key light accentuates the contours of an object by throwing areas into shade while a fill light or reflector may illuminate the shadow areas to control contrast. The relative strength of key-to-fill,

known as the lighting ratio, can be measured using a light me-ter. Low key lighting has a high-er lighting ratio, e.g. 8:1, than

high-key lighting, which can approach 1:1. The term “low key” is used in cinematography to refer to any scene with a high light-ing ratio, especially if there is a predominance of shadowy areas. It tends to heighten the sense of alienation felt by the viewer, hence is commonly used in film noir and horror genres.

SELAYANG - AAS the reigning AFF Suzuki Cup champions and winners of the last two Sea Games football tournaments, Malaysia have a high standing among their regional football rivals.So, it should come as no surprise that national coach K. Rajag-obal’s side have a target on their backs when they bid to defend the AFF trophy on home ground in November and December.Vietnam, who Malaysia face in a friendly international at the Shah Alam Sta-dium on Tuesday, are just but one of those who will attempt to knock Malaysia off their lofty perch in Southeast Asia, having twice suffered bitter defeats against Rajagobal’s teams.The first was in the 2009 Sea Games final in Vientiane which Malaysia won 1-0 and the following year, a 2-0 aggregate defeat in the AFF Cup semi-finals led to the depar-

ture of their Portuguese coach Henrique Callisto.Callisto’s replacement -- German Falko Gotz -- lasted just 180 days and Vietnam now have a third coach in 18 months fol-lowing the appointment of Phan Thanh Hung last month.Rajagobal admitted that other Southeast Asian teams now consider Malaysia a prized scalp when the reverse was true just four years ago.

KUALA LUMPUR - A NEW men’s doubles combination of Tan Boon Heong-Goh V Shem is probably the best option if the BA of Malaysia (BAM) is serious about winning gold in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Former international Datuk James Selvaraj, who has served BAM as a high performance direc-tor for two years, said Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong may not be able to sustain their momentum come 2016 and that Boon Heong can forge a strong partnership with V Shem if they start early. New combination must

be sent to grand prix tournaments first while Kien Keat-Boon Heong could still play in the Super Series until the end of the year.
