ParenThots - A father's dedication to his disabled child
I cried buckets reading the story. Thank you Allah for giving me Iman and Iffah yang sempurna sifat. Walaupun Iman was born prematurely at 7 months, Allah tak uji aku macam ayah Yu Xin. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

Seized 'fake' eggs were deformed or rejected ones

PUTRAJAYA: The allegedly 'fake' eggs seized from the Pulau Tikus wet market in Penang were merely deformed or rejected ones not cleared for sale to consumers, Veterinary Services Department director-general Datuk Dr Abd Aziz Jamaluddin said.
This was based on the department's own tests, he added.
Dr Aziz also said there were no 'fake' eggs in the local market, adding that it was far more costly to produce convincing fakes than natural eggs.
"Give me one sample that shows that an egg is fake and that will make my day.
"Maybe there are fakes in the market but we have no samples," he told a press conference here Monday.
He said the department was in discussions with the Federation of Livestock Farmers' Associations of Malaysia to come out with a standard of accreditation to allay consumers' fears "once and for all".
This, he added, would remove any doubts in consumers' minds over the quality of eggs they were buying.
Dr Aziz also reminded that it was illegal under the Animals Act 1953 to import eggs without a licence.
K.Min, betul cakap k.min, there's no fake eggs in the market. Well, not Msian market :D

Homemaker shocked over ‘fake eggs’ find
Homemaker shocked over ‘fake eggs’ find
GEORGE TOWN: A woman who bought a tray of eggs in Pulau Tikus had a shock when she found them to be “fake eggs”.
Consumers Association of Penang president S.M. Mohamed Idris said the housewife had brought the eggs to his office after finding something fishy when she tried to cook them.
“She told us that the eggs did not smell like real eggs and were tasteless. It was also of unusual shapes and larger than real eggs.
Unidentical twins: The fake egg (left) is different in shape and colour from the genuine egg“The fake egg also had a rougher surface than the genuine one.
“When cracked, there was no sign of chalaza, the structure inside the egg that keeps the yolk in place.
“The fake egg white and yolk quickly mixed together, unlike that of real eggs,” Idris said.
The fake egg yolk (left) is more yellowish than that of a normal egg.
He said after boiling the egg and cutting it open, the egg yolk appeared to be more “yellowish” than that of a normal egg.
Idris said an e-mail widely circulated among the public in Penang had claimed that fake eggs which were common in China, were full of chemicals and sold at lower prices.
Idris also said it would be very hard to tell the difference between fake eggs and genuine ones as both looked almost identical.
“Try to look out for the weird shapes,” he said, adding that his staff members had bought more eggs from the shop frequented by the woman and found them to be “fake”.
A tray of 30 real eggs costs around RM10.50. The fake eggs cost RM11.
Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism enforcement chief M. Guna Selan said his office had not received any such complaint.

Lepas ni, kalau nak beli telur, kena betul2 make sure that telur tu telur asli, bukan telur palsu. I make it a point of buying eggs only from supermarket such as Jusco or hypermarkets yg besar2 mcm Tesco, Carrefour.

Berita Minggu Yang Biadap!
Dikala dunia masih lagi terkejut dengan Tsunami yang melanda Jepun, Berita Minggu dengan bangganya mempamerkan lukisan kartun Ultraman lari dari Tsunami. I dunno what the Editor-in-Chief was thinking, allowing such degrading karikatur di cetak dalam kesedihan dan kesengsaraan yang dihadapi oleh mangsa Tsunami. It's not funny ok!
Semoga K.Hani, Ina, dan others yang berada di Jepun selamat. I read dalam status facebook K.Hani that kebanyakan supermarket dah habis bekalan makanan sebab orang berpusu2 stocking up food. Kalau la ada orang yang nak ke Jepun, mau je aku kirim maggi berkotak2 untuk K.Hani. Be strong K.Hani & Family! Semoga Allah melindungi kita semua.
The caricature sketch by the insensitive cartoonist, Zoy. ( Hello! No one is laughing!!)
