PUSH-POCKETING IN KUALA LUMPUR
I am sure you all have heard of 'pick pocket'.
A new trend 'push pocket'.
Read on... for your own good
A few days ago a new type of crime has surfaced in town.
It goes something like this:-
Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket,
sometimes it could be just a wallet with
an identity card and a few ringgit.
A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up
and confronts you, the 'thief '.
He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.
You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the
'owner' for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened
that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in.
If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go.
If not, the police are brought in.
Another strange thing is that there always seems
to be a 'witness' to your 'theft'.
I am told this often happens to foreigners at
the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)
or even at LRT trains.
Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent'
as far as the Malaysian police are concerned,
I understand some poor people are in jail for
these 'offences'.
At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and
wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage
trolley of a just arrived passenger.
The drama unfolds a few minutes later.
The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysian police
to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand).
This is a very serious matter.
This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight.
They are disgusting criminals who wi! ll do anything
to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole
scenario is that unless you pay the 'quoted settlement' money,
they will put you in real trouble by calling the police..
The real culprit gets back his hand-phone
and wallet but the real victim ( i.e. could be any one of us)
is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.
So do be very careful,
otherwise you may end up as a 'thief'
as you have no way to prove your innocence..
Pass it on.....
let more people be aware
of such things around them.

6 Serious Office Health Risks
Sitting at a desk all day can be hazardous to your health. Back pain, eyestrain and sleep problems can all be results of increasingly sedentary yet stressful work environments.
The number of physically demanding jobs has dropped to less than 10% from 20% in the 1950s, according a study published by economic and social policy researchers at the Urban Institute, meaning the number of jobs that require some exertion were cut in half, leaving more Americans susceptible to desk-job-related health problems.
Here are six office-related maladies and how they can be prevented.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Problem: Any motion that is repeated over and over again can cause injury or pain, according to occupational-health-focused Denver Chiropractor Dr. T. Randall Eldridge. But carpal tunnel syndrome isn't just pain or soreness from too much typing. It's the tingling, numbness, itching or even sharp pain caused when a nerve that runs through the forearm is compressed by swollen ligaments and bones in the wrist, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Prevention: Before you're forced to treat carpal tunnel with acupuncture, drugs or even surgery, stretching and other exercises may help release tension in the wrist, the NIH says. And, contrary to what many believe, your wrists shouldn't actually rest on those cushy wrist pads that sit below your keyboard or mouse pad. They should actually be used as a guide for how high your wrists should be, according to occupational therapist to Marji Hajic. Hajic says hands should hover over the wrist rest and it should only be used as a rest in between bouts of typing.
Lower-Back Pain
Problem: Sitting for hours on end, particularly if you have bad posture, can be devastating to your body over time if you don't get moving on a regular basis. And back pain is actually a major reason for missed work for adults of all ages, according to the Georgetown University Center on an Aging Society.
But bad posture at your desk goes beyond the obvious slouching. Sitting up straight but curving your back too much can be a cause of lower-back pain as well, notes the NIH.
Prevention: Besides being better aware of your posture as you're sitting at your desk, getting regular exercise including abdominal strengthening activities should relieve some of the pressure on your lower back.
Having too fat a wallet in your back pocket can be a bad thing as well. Sitting on a large wallet can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can cause sharp back pain, according to UAB Health System in Birmingham, Ala.
Other Joint Problems
Problem: The human body is meant to move, and staying in one position for too long can make joints feel tight. Sitting at a desk especially shortens and tightens the hip flexors, the muscles than help pull your legs toward your body, according to the Yoga Journal. And tight hip flexors can actually contribute to back pain as well since tight hips force the pelvis to tilt forward, compressing the back, Yoga Journal says.
Prevention: Besides getting up from your desk at regular intervals and walking around a bit, the Mayo Clinic recommends a number of stretches that can help loosen up your hips.
Eyestrain
Problem: Office workers who spend hours a day staring at a computer screen might tell you that after a certain amount of time, their vision gets blurry and their eyes generally become more sensitive. Those symptoms (as well as too-watery or too-dry eyes, a headache or a sore neck) could be indications of eyestrain, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Prevention: To prevent eyestrain at your computer, increase your font size so you don't have to squint, suggests Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT - News) (though the font on this informative page might cause readers to do just that). You may also want to rest your eyes frequently by looking away from your computer screen and reducing any glare on your monitor, the Mayo Clinic suggests.
Bacteria
Problem: "The desk, in terms of bacteria, is 400 times more dirty than your toilet," University of Arizona microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba told WebMD (NASDAQ: WBMD - News). "People turn their desks into bacteria cafeterias because they eat at them, but they never clean them. The phone is the dirtiest, the desktop is next, and the mouse and the computer follow."
But bacteria problems at your desk could be more severe than Gerba thinks. Breadcrumbs and other food remnants get can get in between keys on your keyboard, attract rats and lead to unintended exposure to their germs. What's more, many raw and cooked foods need to remain refrigerated, and leaving them out for two hours or more is a food safety no-no.
Prevention: If you frequently eat your lunch at your desk, you may want to make sure you have hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes to wipe down your work surface daily. That can also protect you from germs sprayed into the air by your coughing and sneezing coworkers.
If your office has a communal kitchen sink with a sponge, the American Dietetic Association suggests using paper towels instead, just to stay safe from bacteria.
The association goes as far as recommending that those who eat in the office bring a refrigerator thermometer and a meat thermometer as well.
Stressful Situations
Problem: Stress can be a problem at work regardless of how physical your day-to-day activities are, but those who do exert themselves on the job can actually use some of their activities to ease their stress. If you're chained to a desk, however, you may be even more likely to have stress-related outbursts.
About one-sixth of workers said anger at work led to property damage, and 2%-3% of workers admit to pushing, slapping or hitting someone at work, according to Reuters.
"With roughly 100 million people in the U.S. work force ... that's as many as 3 million people," Reuters reports.
Additionally, about 22% of U.S. workers say they've been driven to tears because of workplace stress and 9% say that stress has led to physically violent situations, reports RJC Associates, a career development firm.
Prevention: Smaller stressors can be handled with breathing and relaxation techniques at your desk or a break outside of the office, but some conflicts may call for mediation by an unbiased party.
And believe it or not, video games have been suggested as a method for easing workplace stress, according to CareerBuilder.com. With the job market recovering and more companies hiring, however, it's starting to look like new job prospects could be a promising way out of stressful work conditions as well.

A TERRIFYING AND HORRID THOUGHT!
To all (teenagers and adults)
Do not simply trust anyone, even your girl friends, your boyfriends or your best friends. BE ALERT, BE AWARE
A woman at the nightclub in Cobar, Singapore on Saturday night was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her.
Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeated rape along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood, with Progesterex, which is essentially a small sterilization pill.
This drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals..
Rumor has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug.
As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girls drink. The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before.
Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.
The drugs effects are not temporary- They are permanent! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it will never be able to conceive. The bastards can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It's that easy and Progesterex is about to break out big every where.
Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it.
Please COPY this to everyone you know, especially girls.
Be careful when you're out, and don't leave your drink unattended. Please make the effort to pass this onto all you know......
Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives.
Girls, keep your drinks safe at all times, and men, look after the girls you're with.
Please pass this on to all your friends and family...
根據醫院和警方的報告,一女人在夜總會週六晚上被5名男子輪姦了。
她記不住 當晚發生的事情,醫院試驗多次隨著強姦痕跡後證實,在她的血液有Rohypnol與Progesterex 存在,基本它們都是一小小的消毒藥片 藥物,目前強姦集團正在廣泛使用在被強姦的受害者。
Progesterex 是用于獸醫消毒大型動物。
據傳Progesterex與Rohypnol 用在約會及強姦的藥品。
正如Rohypnol ,把它下到女孩的飲料。
使她不能記起所發生過的事情,第二天早上,已忘記所前一天晚上發生的事情。
Progesterex ,它容易溶解在飲料,就是這樣,受害人無法想起強姦犯的發生及強姦犯逍遙法外,不必擔心有親子鑑定的追蹤調查。
這些藥物影響不是暫時的,他們是永久使受害者忘記發生過的事情!
Progesterex的目的是要消毒馬匹。就是這麼簡單任何獸醫學校或任何醫學大學都可得到這種藥物。
Progesterex是即將爆發大每一個地方。
信不信由你,甚至還有點互聯網告訴人們如何使用它。
請複製,給你知道每的個一人,特別是女性。您應當要注意,在任何共眾場所,千萬不可喝你已離開過的飲料,即使只有一分鐘。請努力通知到所有你認識的人......,特別是請通知您的所有女性朋友和親戚。
女孩,讓您的飲料在任何時候都要安全,各位男士,你應照顧和你一起的女士。
請通過這項對所有您的朋友和家人...
Shell Oil Comments - A MUST READ
Safety Alert!
Here's some reasons why we don't allow cell phones in operating areas, propylene oxide handling and storage area, propane, gas and diesel refueling areas.
The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after three incidents in which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations
In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline pump.
In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling their car!
And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car.
You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes
Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition
Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn mowers, boat, etc.
Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (I.e., solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc...)
TO sum it up, here are the Four Rules for Safe Refueling:
1) Turn off engine
2) Don't smoke
3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the vehicle or turn it 0ff
4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fueling.
Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working on a campaign to try and make people aware of fires as a result of 'static electricity' at gas pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of these fires.
His results were very surprising:
1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women.
2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back in their vehicle while the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished, they went back to pull the nozzle out and the fire started, as a result of static.
3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.
4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely finished. This is why they are seldom involved in these types of fires.
5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas
6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that cause the fire, when connected with static charges.
7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was touched during refueling from a variety of makes and models. Some resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the station, and to the customer.
8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap was removed and before fueling began.
Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your vehicle while filling it with gas.
If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the gas is pumping, make sure you get out, close the door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull the nozzle out. This way the static from your body will be discharged before you ever remove the nozzle.
As I mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with several other companies now, are really trying to make the public aware of this danger.
I ask you to please send this in formation to ALL your family and friends, especially those who have kids in the car with them while pumping gas. If this were to happen to them, they may not be able to get the children out in time. Thanks for passing this along.

笑話小品~ 輕鬆一下~
輕鬆一下~
端午節時,公司發了一箱牛奶和一袋泰國香,女同事力氣小,搬不動叫我幫她送回去,到了她家樓下,她對我說:“你在樓下等等我,我上去看看,如果我老公在,我就叫他下來搬;如果他不在,那就麻煩你幫我搬上去吧。”
我點了點頭,過了一會兒,同事站在她家的陽台上朝下叫:“你上來吧!”
因為她在五樓,我剛開始沒聽到,沒有反應。於是她大聲地叫:“喂!我老公不在家,快上來吧!”
此話一出,驚動了左鄰右舍,大家都跑到陽台上來看。...我在眾目睽睽下上樓也不是,走也不是。
她以為我沒有聽清楚,雙手做了一個喇叭狀放在嘴巴邊更大聲叫道:“有沒有聽到?我老公不在家,快上來!”
推銷高手
一天某推銷員按電鈴:「這位太太我這邊有一本書,叫做『丈夫晚歸500種藉口』,你一定要買。」
某太太:「笑話!我為什麼一定要買?」
推銷員:「我剛賣給你先生一本。」
外銷講究包裝
弟弟和妹妹都到了愛漂亮的年齡,對身上的衣著很講究。但是媽媽常為妹妹添購新衣,而忽略了弟弟。為此,弟弟很不開心,說媽媽偏心。
而媽媽卻有她的理由,說:"外銷的東西,要特別講究包裝。"
離家出走
兒子提著一個很大的提包準備離家出走,經過看見爸爸似乎欲言又止,於是對他就對爸爸說:「這個家實在太沉悶了,我再也忍受不下去了!我要離開!我要自己去過那種天天有刺激!天天花天酒地,天天有漂亮美眉的生活。爸爸,誰都不能阻止我。」
爸爸終於開口說話了,他說:「我才沒有,你等我一下,我馬上準備行李和你一起去。」
讚美
妻子在穿衣鏡前試新衣,回頭問丈夫:好看嗎?丈夫把視線從報紙移開,瞥了她一眼,沒吭聲。
妻子生氣地說:馬克吐溫說過「一句讚美的話,可以讓我活兩個月」,你怎麼就不試著對我說幾句讚美的話?
丈夫答:好吧!那你想活多久?
特異能力
有一位探險家到美國西部探險,紮營時一位當地的印地安土著跑了過來對他說:「今天會下雨。」
探險家也沒在意繼續工作,不料到了晚上果然下起大雨。
第二天那土著又跑來了,說道下午會刮大風。
探險家給了他十塊錢,謝謝他,而當天下午果然也刮起風來。
如此過了一個禮拜,那土著每天跑來報告天氣,探險家也每次都給他十塊錢,而每天的天氣也果然如土著所預言的一樣。
探險家心中十分佩服土著的特異能力,簡直比氣象報告還準。
這一天,土著又跑來了,可是一句話也沒說。
探險家奇道:「你今天為什麼不預報天氣了呢?」
「因為我的收音機壞了」土著答道
一幅畫像
有一對夫婦在參觀展覽,近視很深的妻子,正將臉湊近一幅畫像對一旁的丈夫說:這是我生平見過最醜的畫像了!
丈夫就把妻子拉到一旁,小聲地對她說:這不是畫像,是一面鏡子!
超速的藉口
一位警官想使一輛超速行駛的車子停下,但那司機卻逐漸地加快了100英里/每小時。
當他意識到終究無法逃脫時,只好開到路邊停了下來。警官過來對他說: 「上了一天的班,我也差不多要下班了,這樣吧,如果你能為你的逃跑行為找一個好的藉口,我就放過你。」
那司機想了幾秒鐘後說:「我妻子在大約一個星期前跟一個警察跑了,我以為你想把她送回來給我,所以我就拚命逃了。
