Offshore Job Openings

I received this from friend a while ago and tought I should share this with everyone. Good news for job hunters in times of rising unemployment rate, especially those keen on offshore jobs.

The forwarded e-mail looks like this:

Dear all,
We have some vacancies that you could advice your friends to apply. It is also for another deep water project. Please ask them not to scan their certificates but only send their latest updated resume. Please send it directly to me.
Thank you.

Swine Flu - Update

Mengikut kenyataan CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) sehingga kini belum ada vaksin untuk penyakit demam selsema babi (virus H1N1). Anda disarankan mengamalkan langkah berjaga-jaga untuk menghalang penyebaran kuman penyebab penyakit-penyakit berkaitan sistem respirasi seperti influenza. Langkah-langkah berikut boleh dilakukan sebagai amalan harian:
.
1) menutup mulut dan hidung dengan tisu ketika bersin atau batuk,
.
2) kerap membasuh tangan dengan sabun dan air, terutamanya selepas bersin atau batuk,
.
3) elakkan daripada bersentuh secara langsung dengan pesakit,
.
4) seberapa boleh, elakkan daripada menyentuh mata, hidung dan mulut anda kerana kuman biasanya merebak dangan cara ini.

Only in Malaysia? - Sued for loss of virginity!

You have heard of people suing for the weirdest of things in the USA, such as dump truck driver suing his employer over mistake of his own. Of people suing McDonald's for serving coffee that is too hot, of burglar who broke into a house and sue the owner because he got cut on the glass, of people asking for a ride and when an accidents happens, your passenger will sue you for medical expenses, and the list goes on.
.

That's in the USA right? Well..welcome home to Malaysia. Here's one for a light breakfast treat for you - Loss of virginity: Woman files suit against hubby.

This happened in Kuching and it is about a school teacher who sued her husband, claiming for a few million ringgit damages over the loss of her virginity. The article by The Malaysian Bar stated that "..she made a claim (from the husband) for the loss of her virginity, ‘loss of damage for humiliation’ and mental torture including harm suffered. In addition, she was also asking for the Kancil car given to her as a gift (out of a promise) to be returned."

I do not mean to interfere with the proceeding but I would be very much interested at how this would be concluded. I'm sure it will have big impact on how people look at "strange" cases in the future. Hmm.... I better keep my mouth shut!
