Many turn to using dubious titles

 

 

 Council lodges police reports over people with fake Datuk, Datuk Seri and Tan Sri titles

PETALING JAYA: Eight individuals, including personalities from the corporate and entertainment industries, had police reports lodged against them for allegedly using unrecognised and dubious titles.

The Council of Dato and Datuk Malaysia (MDDM) secretary-general Datuk Samson Maman said nine reports were lodged, eight against the individuals for misusing Datuk, Datuk Seri and Tan Sri titles, and one collective report in general.

“These individuals even include the titles in their designations when appearing on televised talk shows.

“Based on our information and checks, their honorifics are actually fake,” he told reporters at the Puchong Jaya police station yesterday.

Samson said there were also business and prominent NGO personalities using unrecognised and dubious titles.

He said some individuals also included their “titles” in the records of the Companies Commission of Malaysia and the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to enhance their corporate status.

“What is the purpose of doing this when your name as per the identity card should suffice?” he said, adding that MDDM was also looking to enhance and review the Offences Relating to Awards Act (Act 787).

“We will tentatively hand over our proposals (to the respective authorities) later this week.”

He also said the Instagram profile @checkmytitle that highlighted those using fake honorifics included prominent Malaysian personalities.

Samson said the public should always double-check the official government portal at www.istiadat.gov.my to verify the authenticity of someone’s title.

“MDDM is not an enforcement body, but we want to create awareness that it is an offence for anyone to claim to be a Datuk, Datuk Seri or Tan Sri,” he said. 

He warned people against buying the titles from certain parties.

“Only the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultans and governors are authorised to bestow such titles on deserving individuals.

“Malaysians need to uphold our nation’s honorifics as bestowed by royalty and state governors,” Samson said.

MDDM exco member Datuk Seri Michael Chong, who was also present, said the issue of people using unrecognised honorifics had been ongoing for a long time.

“The situation has now become serious with these fake Datuks arrested for scamming and cheating others,” said Chong, who is also the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head.

He added that the cost of buying dubious titles ranged between RM60,000 and RM120,000.

“Based on the complaints received, we learnt that a Datuk title costs about RM60,000 and about RM100,000 for a Datuk Seri title.

“The complainants who came to us were even told they could pay in instalments,” he said.

Chong also said that they were made aware of a case in which the entire family had fake “Datukships”, with the youngest being in his twenties.

According to MDDM auditor Datuk Ashfar Ali, the dubious “Datuks” used the titles for business transactions such as multilevel marketing, selling housing schemes and others.

“Some want the title to uplift their social status or to be recognised by others,” he said.

Also present were MDDM exco members Datuk Abdul Razak Dawood, Datuk Josephine Anne and council member Datuk Tiong Yap Choon.

While taking a shower or bath, fainting, slumping from washing the head in the bathroom

 

 

Someone can faint or slump in the bathroom if you start taking your bath by washing the head first. If the head is washed first, the cold water will make blood to rush to the head and rupture the blood vessels to the head. To avoid this, we were advised to start our bath by washing our feet and gradually moving upwards. I want to know if this is true

The Home: Why Do People Faint Or Slump In The Bathroom?

How To Avoid Fainting Or Slumping In The Bathroom   

We’ve heard of people slumping or suffering a stroke in the bathroom and statistics reveal that more men suffer from this accident than women. What is the cause and why?

What Is The Cause?

When I took part in a healthy lifestyle course, a National Sports Council Professor, who also participated in the course, advised that:

• The head should not be washed first in the process of taking a bath (even washing of the hair)
• Other parts of the body should be cleaned first. This is because when the head is wet and cold, blood will flow to the head to warm it up.
• If the blood vessels have narrowed, it is likely to cause the blood vessels to rupture.
• Since it usually happens in the bathroom, be sure to raise awareness to avoid this happening again.

Why Do More men Suffer The Accident Than Women?

Men do because most men keep their hair low and during bathing, they pour water of their head. On the other hand, women don’t often wash their heads because of hairstyling.

Correct Way To Take Your Bath:

• Start the wetness from the sole of the foot.
• Progress to the small legs, the thigh, abdomen and then shoulder.
• At this point, pause for 5-10 seconds.
• A feeling like steam/wind overflowing from the body may be observed, and then take a shower as usual.

WISDOM:

When a glass is filled with hot water, and then suddenly emptied and filled with cold water; what happens? The glass will burst! Then, with regards to the human body, what happens? Naturally, the body temperature is very hot, whereas the water is very cold, a cold shower on the body or the head directly would suddenly trap the wind, or deaden it, because the blood vessels got broken.

This is why people often suddenly fall over in the bathroom; due to a wrong bathing method. And that often causes a stroke or causes a migraine.

ADVICE:

This bathing method is suitable for all ages, especially those with diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and migraine/headache. 

Please, don't only just get enlightened by this; kindly share with your families and friends as well.

 Penang Golf Club (Bayan Lepas) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go

 

 http://penanggolfclub.com.my/index-eng.html

 

 Penang Golf Club, the only championship 18-hole golf course on Penang island, has gone through a makeover making it a challenging and exciting venue for golfers.

The Robert Trent Jones Jr designed golf course, situated on the slopes of the Jambul Hill, has Bermuda grass shaping the tee boxes and fairways and tif eagle covering the greens with luscious vegetation surrounding it to bring players as close to nature as possible.

Locals and visitors who have numerous sights to enjoy on the island known as the “Pearl of the Orient” including recognised World Heritage Sites now can add a memorable game of golf into their itinerary.

The Penang Golf Club, which was formerly called Bukit Jambul Golf Club, has a rich history since it opened in 1984 and was the venue for the 31st Malaysian Open in 1992 which was won by Vijay Singh. It had a new facelift and reopened on November, 2012.

 Pine, Palm, Durian, Rambutan, Skyfruit, Angsana, Yellow Flame, Pulai, Tecoma, Neem and other tall trees add character to the golf course which also provide a panoramic view of different parts of Penang, including the two bridges which link Penang to the mainland, which can be seen from different holes.
The 6,393 yards (5,848 metres) par 72 course has sand bunkers at strategic places, water hazards encroaching into the playing area and rolling fairways which are characteristics that are similar to golf courses in Japan.

The 32-bay, two-tier, driving range which is 250 metres long provides practice for budding golfers and those who want to hone their skills. Professional lessons are also available for those interested in taking up the game with Japanese and local staff at hand to make the players feel at home.

The Sakurajima Restaurant in the clubhouse has large and small private rooms that serves Japanese and Chinese cuisine and is tocked with a variety of well-known “Sake” and “Shochu” from Kagoshima, Japan.

A 10-minute drive from the airport will bring you to Penang Golf Club while accommodation is convenient with the five-star Equatorial Hotel located a stone’s throw away.

Penang which is famous for its sight-seeing, shopping and entertainment beckons you with the additional lure of an exciting round of golf. So when you plan your next holiday, make sure Penang Golf Club is on the agenda.
