Malaysian Corridor- Volume 10/11:Exclusive interview with Datuk Masidi


People said all Politicians were dirty and corrupted, yet for me, this minister overwork to ensure his state is not exploited and bring good to the people of Sabah. Kudos.
(Extracted from Malaysian Corridor Volume 10/11)
  • His aspiration and defining moment:
To make Sabah a vibrant, economically successful and the most livable place in Asia. Most defining moment ws building rapport with Australia, Malaysia Airlines has chose Sabah as the Eastern hub
  • He manages his ministry (time and attention) by delegating the culture and all developments at islands/water to Datuk Bolkiah; environment and all development on land to Datuk Ellron
  • Sabah Tourism Board, MATTA, Malaysia Hotel Association Sabah, airlines, Sabah Tourism Tour Guides Association, Dive, islands, Golf, birds- have helped bring in tourists to the state.
  • Despite of suggesting nuclear energy once, he always opted for renewable energy- biomass, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind and hydropower to be supplied to the current state population of 2.7million people.  The proposal of using nuclear to generate electricity is still being studied by the federal government . He added that in Sabah, governmnet has approved the setting up natural gas power plant in Kimanis and Lahad Datu. Another notable plant by SESB and also private sectors are at the Ulu Padas Hydroelectric Electric project in Tenom and geothermal project in Tawau.
  • He commented on the nuclear policy albeit its a great alternative energy, the toughest challenges are to handle the nuclear waste which could not be recycled and needed to be stockpiled; (Although Sabah is not prone for earthquake) it is still crucial to consider how to protect a nuclear plant during earthquake or Tsunami.
  • Datuk Masidi banned sales of shark fin at the airports. "Shark fins has never been a tourism attraction"
  • He suggested the most popular and must eat food- "Sayur manis, known as Sabah Vegie"
  • Last year (2010), a total of 2,504,670 visitors came here generated a total of RM4.2billion

CICA-Care and Hiruscar gel.

Image
The Cica care, do not really know how to pronounce it, cost me about RM113.50 for the size of 3cm x 12cm. That size can actually be cut into half, to fully cover my raised 12-year-old reddish keloid car. Pardon me for the ugly creature...which most of the time will scare children away, and make adults have second look of the gigantic 'paramesium'. The silicon and sticky strip can actually last about 2-4 weeks, so mathematically for 2 months, I only spend RM100++ for my treatment, which is a lot cheaper than doing laser/removal surgery. This is how it adheres to my skin, I really don't have to worry it will fall out as I do my work, or even during exercise...(except swimming). Occasionally, I will have strong urge to scratch my itchy patched keloid during sleeping time, because of what the Cica care is doing-depressing the scar. After about two weeks usage, the edge (the sides where I use to remove) becomes like above, is an indicator that it

Review on Qdees school.

Image
This post is merely on personal view of the Qdees kindergarten which I enroll my daughter in this year. The principal has recently posted in parents-teacher Whatsapp group that the franchise has been awarded SME Brand Excellence Award in Best Global Franchise Model 2016 by SME Malaysia. Well,the excellence award obviously meant for business specifically the people who want to make money from early learning institutions...the information does not really relay the significance for parents whose main concern is their children's well-being at the school.  Back to my parenting point of view, the reason I chose the school is I believe with certain standards to comply, I hope that my daughter will be taken good care of while I go to work. In short, no abuse. Image grabbed from Qdees website I paid over thousand include the monthly RM450 during registration in Dec 2016. The payment also include two (ugly) grey color uniform (with not-so-good)cloth quality, a set of

Groupon-Tomoko Hair Salon.

Tomoko Hair Lot 112, Ground Floor, Megalong Shopping Mall, Jalan Taipakkung Donggongon, Penampang, , 89500, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 1 Visit Professional Cut+L'Oreal Hair Treatment+Wash +Blow+Personal Image Consultancy Service. Voucher "so called" valued for RM135 which I paid for RM18. ************************************************* Today I paid a visit to the saloon at Megamall. As I had made the reservation earlier, I was quite surprised when they asked what I would like to do with my hair. And I was asked for three times as if they don't even know the sevices they featured in Groupon. The saloon was quite small and crowded, but I believe that shouldn't be the reason they are slacking in their service. While I was sitting and waiting for my turn to have those services, a man turned out of blue that I should cut my hair like ****, I couldn't recall what he was trying to tell me cos he was just talking without me getting ready to his comments.
