Majority of Sabah people want state government to impose smoking ban.

When the Health Ministry announced on imposing smoking ban at eateries on Oct in 2018, I could be among majority who had been suffering passive smoking who jumped for joy over the regulations.

Sadly, Sabah government ministers are not for the laws when it is supposed to come into effect on Jan 1, 2019. It is only after the implementation that they want to have cabinet meeting to discuss whether or not to go for it.

It is even annoying to learn that those new state ministers have yet to come back to work from December long leave whereas other children have began their school albeit being reluctant to attend on the first day of 2019. (I am trying to say, newbies or rookies should work hard and learn as much as possible….they should not celebrating their victory or taking rest for so long after assuming the office for just 7 months).

Netizens have been slamming the ignorance and S**** of comments made by some reachable ministers. It is surprising on how they deem banning people smoking at eateries would affect business at restaurants, there are many smokers who will be ended in jail for failing to pay hefty fine, and worse a state tourism minister is worried that our country has to ban/fine tourists who break the law by smoking at eateries.

Of all the baseless or assumptive comments/opinions/perspectives….below are my justification that the state government should just say yes to smoking ban at eateries.

1/ For the first six months, the Health Ministry would only give warning letters to smokers. Give it a try ministers!!!

2/ Think it economically….there are earnings and expenses. You save business operators but the health sectors spending 100x to treat smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (these patients will drain out the resources). Not to forget the treatment cost for non smokers who get complications from being passive smoking.

3/Funny how this tourism minister is ignorant that no one is above law, and tourists have to be Romans when they come to Rome. Fine them…

4/It is so unfair for patrons to inhale unwanted fumes that can cause cancer...

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.
