十月已逝，十一月莅临。全国大选的日期更近了！各政党也在鼓角齐鸣备战。选民因为有选票特别会受到候选人的垂青！但也是因为有票，候选人口齿伶俐善为说辞而令选民左右为难不知票该落谁？
竞选时间，听了在台上候选人的演讲，选民的情绪很容易波动。那些靠政治吃饭的政客似乎会让人民相信他们就是人民的英雄，人民救星，支持他胜出明天会更好。
政客靠着一张嘴儿活，他们是训练有素的骗子，专业骗子也！对他们的诺言，如果没有“听其言，观其行”详细思考，我们很容易被他们骗！很多例子可佐证他们骗话连篇，就举他们最近为了抗拒国阵政府的2018年年度财政预算案。
在他们的预算案，他们提出了种种的减税和调整人民最低每月的RM1500的薪金建议。这蜜糖甜品的建议很吸引人可说是令人响往但如深入分析，它简直就是当老百姓是笨蛋！在他们掌管的槟州和雪兰莪州的两届中，也是说从2008年2016年，不管是往日的民联政府还是现今的希盟政府，它们有否为他们属下官员包括劳力者制定最低每月的RM1500薪金？希盟政府有否调高门牌税，执照费，泊车费等等？
希盟的槟州政府为了增加收入，连水费都调高多达四次，你们想希盟执政中央，他们会减税？未来完成时态（Future Perfect Tense）和 未来完成连续时态 ( Future Perfect Continuous Tense)有什么不同？
未来完成时态（Future Perfect Tense）是指某个工作或工程或事件在未来的期限完成。
未来完成时态（Future Perfect Tense）的 例子
I will have finished my preparation by 300 pm today.
在今天下午三时，我会完成准备工作。
The plane will have reached Tokyo by 200 am next morning.
这架飞机将在第二天早上200点到达东京。
“ Don’t worry! The workers will have completed the decoration before 1000 am ”
“别担心， 工人将在上午十点前完成装修“
未来完成连续时态 ( Future Perfect Continuous Tense) 是指在某个工作或工程或事件在未来日子里，没有期限的，会继续的做下去！
She will have been staying here for 3 years by 2018.
到了2018年，她是一直呆在这里3年。 （到2018年，她会继续住下去）
The rain will have been pouring for 2 hours by 100 pm.
到晚上10点，这雨是下了2个小时。 （雨可能还会继续下！）
By next month, I will have been saving $10,000 in my bank .
到下个月，我的银行存款达到一万元了。（虽然到了一万元，我还会继续储蓄。）许多人对未来连续时态（Future continuous Tense） 和 未来完成时态（Future perfect tense）不大有把握因为这两个文法与未来有关而迷惘了。 “未来连续”是指在未来某段时间，有某个动作在进行或举行。英语说是duration持续时间。
例如 1：明天我会在在公司开会。
明天是未来，开会需一段时间来进行，所以，用英语说成： I will be having meeting tomorrow in the company.
例如 2：你跟朋友说你身体舒服，等下你会去看医生。
等下是未来，看医生需要时间，你可说：I am feeling not well and will be visiting a doctor later.
未来完成时态（Future perfect tense）是指某一个工作或动作预算在未来的某段时间完成。
例如 1：我的公司将会把这个工程在明年三月建好。
明年是未来，完成是预算中的期限。你可这样说: My company will have completed this construction by next March.
例如 2: 如果现在我们开始上路，我们可以在五点抵达他的家。
五点是未来的时间，抵达他的家是完成了的路程。英语是：If we start our journey now, we will have reached his house by 500pm.农历九月初一到初九，配合九皇大帝的圣诞，槟岛多个斗母宫寺庙张灯结彩很隆重的迎接这圣日的到来。九皇大帝的信徒们也很诚恳在这九天的庆典日子持素吃斋来对神明表达谢意和感恩神明的照顾。信徒们有的持素九天或最后三天或最后一天，就视个人的工作环境或情况。
问一问，为了方便选择在家外吃斋的信徒们，你们吃的安心吗？在路边的应时而设的斋菜素食的摊档吃后付钱时，你们是否是心甘情愿的付出摊格工作人员向你要的那个价钱呢？也许你甘也不敢说只好把怨气吞下因为有人告诉你在斋戒时作出投诉会冒犯神明，你会因此被“扣分”！与人争论是犯戒啊！你只好逆来顺受，任人鱼肉了。哦！有人说吃素时不可有争执！
是谁告诉你在斋戒时如有不平，不可投诉！这是那门的逻辑？那一门的道理？这道听途说的胡说八道根本是不经大脑！就因为我们吃斋者的逆来顺受的心态，卖斋饭素菜者，敢敢漫天开价，杀你一杯普通的饮料三令吉，一碟比平常还差的经济饭要你十五令吉！卖熟食面者不单起价还光明正大的在其档的牌子前写着：“人手不足，排队自助”。这不是双重起价吗？涨价了还要排队自己拿！难道看不出这牌子的另一个演绎就是：“生意太好，不能服务”。但有人说吃素时心中不可有怒气，不可有争执，会冒犯神明！又是有人说！
九皇大帝圣诞期间售卖的斋饭素菜几乎贵的离谱，但有人说不要紧一年一次，只要吃了平安就好。啊！又是有人说！到底是谁说？没人知道! 吃斋可是修行啊！修行提高智慧，但你付了不符合食物的质与量的价钱，是没智慧的。售卖价格便宜素食的摊口多的很，你为何跑去那漫天开价的摊口用餐呢？更糟的，你在摊口碰到友人埋怨价格时，你还安慰他说：“不要紧，一年一次嘛！” 吃了多年竟然吃不出智慧，难道找不到价格便宜的摊格吗？为何还要自找苦吃甘愿自投罗网被人宰割？为何九皇大帝的圣诞完毕，就投诉多多，难道不明白黄逾打黄盖，一个愿打，一个愿挨的操作？干嘛发牢骚？无论如何，你还是会明年再度光顾那漫天开价的摊格吧！It is said that people living in Penang are safe. Why? The reason is one and simple because there is no traffic accident and no traffic congestion on the road.
But according the news reports, there have been fatal accidents and daily traffic congestion ? Is the assertion correct ?
Yes, the assertion of no traffic accidents and no traffic congestion is true. It is because the roads were built and designed by the previous government , therefore, the present government should not be held responsible. Additionally, vehicles are of locally made and from the BN government and even the imported cars on the roads are approved by the BN government. So it is unfair to blame the Pakatan Harapan government.
The Pakatan Harapan government has been giving all sorts of excuses whenever there are mishaps and accidents. They will never admit their mistakes so if there are fatal accidents they may twist and turn the fact by redirecting to the Federal government or previous government. They never do wrong.The following are the press statement by Peter Bellew
Outgoing Malaysia Airlines Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Peter Bellew held a special press conference, yesterday (22nd Oct 2017 ) and his press conference transcript is as follows:
Thank you for joining me on a Sunday. I just wanted to clear up a few issues that have arisen over the last few days. This is a personal response and not on behalf of Malaysia Airlines corporately. I hope to answer some questions I was asked overnight.
I am incredibly grateful to my colleagues in the Malaysia Airlines family who have worked so hard with me over the last 2 ½ years. Wonderful people. Able to deal with the most difficult situations with strength and faith. Not one person I have asked over these years to give the extra effort has refused. My family and I are thankful for the welcome and hospitality we have received in our time in Malaysia. This is a wonderful country. It is with sadness that I will leave but with great hope for the future of this very special airline.
I apologize for not being able to fulfill my contract. For education and family reasons my wife and kids went Balik Kampung in July. I thought I could manage it for a year or two but I need to be with my family. I am sorry. I resigned this day two weeks ago. It was a very difficult thing to do. Really. At that time I had not signed for a new job. Khazanah and our Chairman did everything possible to get me to stay. They could not understand why I would leave.
I got an offer to return to Ryanair who have some well publicized challenges right now. This is my old family in Ireland. It is Ireland’s greatest company. I will move from being CEO to COO. They need me to help. Negaraku. That is your special word. That is how I feel. Negaraku. I have a duty to do it. When I was asked on 27th Sept would I go to Ryanair I said no. But a week later the call came and in life we can really never say never. I am looking forward to being close again to my family and friends 14 hours away in Ireland.
The news broke about Ryanair last Sunday in the UK Sunday Times. Ryanair waited until Tuesday to make a stock exchange announcement.
There have been news reports about Khazanah interference. Let me be clear. Khazanah is a Malaysian investment company linked to the Government. They have been incredibly supportive to me personally and corporately. There has been no interference. I cannot thank them enough for accelerating our transformation. Tan Sri Azman could not have been more supportive. Terima kasih Khazanah.
There have been reports that I am leaving due to political interference. That is completely untrue. The Dept of Transport have been more than helpful and Minister Liow has been extremely fair in the treatment of all airlines in Malaysia. The Dept of Tourism and Tourism Malaysia could not have done more for Malaysia Airlines in the past year and do a tremendous job globally. Minister Mustapaha from MITI is maybe the most effective Minister I have met in my lifetime. The Prime Minister has not interfered in any way. He has encouraged me at every step.
There are reports that I am leaving because of aircraft orders. That is completely untrue. 100% incorrect. Not a shred of truth in that statement. There was no political interference in MAB decision to buy Boeing or Airbus. MAB needs more widebody planes and less narrow bodies. Simple. The Chairman and I brought the MOU to the Prime Minister in Washington and he witnessed the MOU signing. It all came from MAB.
Malaysia is an amazing country. 60 years of peace. Incredible economic growth. Unique racial and religious harmony. Turn on a tap and there is clean water. Superb education. I have never seen anyone hungry. Abundant natural resources. A vibrant culture. There was some great vision from Government over the last 40 years to build Malaysia. And a leader in 1981 did some great things for his country.
But Tun Mahahtir is completely wrong. 100% wrong. No one connected with him has ever been in any contact to check. I have had no interference from anyone on anything. NO interference. I just want to Balik Kampung. Simple I am Balik Kampung. Negaraku. Back to the people I love. Simple.
I have read every book I could find on MAS. Tan Sri Aziz did a particularly good one. I have read Tun Mahathir’s biography and his books of letters. Tun Mahathir highlights in his own book his failures on MAS that led to its downfall. In fact across 200 pages in his own book he completely contradicts himself.
On page 711 he states "The company had been doing well when it was sold to Tajuddin in 1994 and his acquisition of Malaysia Airlines had been seen as a coup."
On page 533 he states "Tajuddin was elated over his purchase. He wanted to swap his Malaysian Helicopter shares for MAS shares. The Government rejected his plan and asked that he pay in cash instead, which forced him to borrow RM 1.8 billion. I do remember wondering how Tajuddin would be able to buy the airline."
But Tun Mahathir contradicts himself on page 711 of his own book saying, "He had attempted to to buy his stake in MAS through Celcom shares and he would not have had to spend a sen. In the end, however, he had to borrow a lot of money to buy the shares. Had I known this I would have put a stop to the acquisition."
In his own book on page 533 he states that he knew it was debt that was unsustainable.
Page 796 he highlights his bitterness when Tun Badawi did not appoint him as advisor to MAS. The damage goes back to 1994 and debt.
Malaysia Airlines is special. Not just an airline but one of the earliest symbols of the vibrancy of this amazing country. People who have never flown in their life love it. Most of the country hopes it will thrive and be the Pride of the Nation again. I wish Captain Izham and the Malaysia Airlines family all the best for the future.
槟州丹绒武雅的山坡发展工地在十月二十一日周六上午8时许发生土崩活埋14人惨剧。这个悲剧是可避免的，如果州政府有听取民间对于在山坡进行高密度的房屋发展计划可会引发山崩的意见。 在惨剧发生之前，当地州议员郑雨周就已强烈反对这项发展计划. 郑雨周就指出在山坡建50层楼高的房屋计划，山坡里面都是岩石，必须先炸石才能进行建设，而每次炸石时，周围地区的居民都会感受到地动山摇的情况，加上该区位于槟城北岸，地高、雨水量也较多，导致土地比其他地更潮湿，以及有地下水，是很容易发生土崩的。
在2016年6月，环境学者拿督梁粤广针对丹绒武雅山坡发展计划接受《东方日报》访问时质问槟州政府，槟州结构大蓝图都有禁止海拔高于250尺及斜度超过25度的山坡发展计划，为何槟城出现这么多合法或非法的山坡开发计划？梁粤广认为，大马天气多雨，山地较容易被侵蚀，山坡发展的风险是很大的。
今年9月9日，50名來自槟岛18个居民协会的代表联合召开记者会提醒州政府，不应该批准超过海拔250尺的山坡进行发展计划，因为这会对附近的环境造成破坏，包括土蚀、土崩、泥土不稳固等。 土崩发生后，槟州还会不会再有人为的悲剧呢？天灾难避，人为的灾难是完完全全可受控可避免的。但从槟州第一号官员的一贯做风，人为悲剧是还会发生的！只是不知谁是不幸者。每次的灾难，我们的槟州第一号官员都在找借口，推卸责任。要不是把责任推给前朝政府，就是玩弄文字游戏。这让人笑掉大牙的文字游戏有：“那不是水灾，那是积水”，“ 没有雨，那来水患！”，垄尾山崩时，槟州第一号官员赖给“空前大雨”，亚依淡水坝路山崩时就指是“自然造成”。这次丹绒武雅的牺牲人命的土崩惨剧，这位官员说是“工地意外”。
有了这样永远不认错的官员，槟州人民的生活是否有保障能安定？
10月14日 希望联盟举办的“爱国锄盗”集会的反应与往昔比的确差强人意，可说是冷淡收场。希望联盟的出席人数是10万人单但估计当晚最高峰的时候却是差不多1万人。往昔，民联所号召的集会人数很容易达至10万人；10万人的目标根本是易如反掌！民联换希联，政治方针模糊，有着争论性领导人物，提出不实际的宣言，矛盾的言论种种都是烧票云作。
希望联盟的“爱国锄盗”集会不受人民的支持和出席证明了人民还是有着冷静的头脑，有分析的能力看出表里不一的政客。往日的强盗要变今天的英雄，你们相信吗？
浪子回头金不换！金不换是要看情况而定啊！浪子倘若在风光时，痛改前非，改邪归正，那是真正的金不换！如果浪子在走头无路时，遭人抛弃时，才来懊悔，那是要他人的同情和支持。在位的时候，有权有势不与人民打成一片；今日无权无势，需要人民时低声下气向人民要求支持，我们会相信吗？It is sad to know that when Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) is on trend to its route of recovery from the red, its CEO, Peter Bellew, had decided to quit for his much needed assistance in Ryanair Ltd where he would take over responsibility for all Ryanair’s flight operations, ground operations and engineering. In his press statement, Peter Bellew reiterated the reasons he left Malaysia Airlines for Ryanair. In his press release, Bellew quoted that it was the form of national service to help , Ryanair, his country airliner and secondly he chose to be with his family again.
Ryanair is facing problems of pilot shortage which had triggered cancellation of more than 20,000 flights over the winter season and the liner has been getting together on social media to lobby for a major overhaul of the company's employment conditions. Peter Bellew is well regarded in the aviation industry and is "thought to have had a good relationship with the pilots when he was there." Therefore, it is not surprising to learn that he is the most ideal choice for Ryanair.
It is sad that Peter Bellew is leaving Malaysia Airlines but it is even disheartening and sadder to note that there are attempts by certain quarters to politicize the resignation to their selfish gains and benefits. When Peter Bellew was appointed as CEO of MAB, these were the same group of people who objected strongly but today they played hypocritically and expressed their desire of his retainership and continued engagement.
The contradictory actions by all quarters especially from our political parties are most unwarranted in the recruitment of foreign expertise to help in our nation development as it may be misconstrued by those foreigners who would like to take up offers of opportunities working and contributing in our country.
一般上，要把知识化为记忆囤积在脑海，须要对某事物有认知，认知要靠领悟的本能。领悟性强与弱，就得视个人的熟悉感的吸收力。学生们在上课时老师还未教导的课程，如果学生们能针对老师即教的课程来个参考或阅读；当老师开始教导那篇课，熟悉感会让学生的领悟性有着 醍醐灌顶的功能让他们顿时开窍呢！
显然的，学校考试是考学生们的记忆力。记忆力较差者，成绩不好，记忆力强者，理所当然的成绩好，所以不能把聪明与成绩好，愚笨成绩差相题并论因为聪明与愚笨与成绩不是有间接关系。反而，脑力与年龄有直接的关系。大致上，学校班级的安排是根据学生的年龄来分配。但年龄是没依据学生的月份；这就是说学生们的年岁的差异有可能会有最高的一岁之间！例如，一月出生者与十二月出生者被安排在同班上共学习共考试，是谁占优势呢？
缓解考试压力有赖于父母与孩子的相互沟通。许多孩子怕家长，这就是问题！为什么“怕”？关系不好吧？是不是孩子不听话？不听话是不是因为家长的话不能听？那肯定家长要自己孩子比别人的孩子强！别人考90分，他们要他考95 分或更高！最后，孩子变了不再听话了！最后难于沟通了！学校考试，政府考试将举行，学生们面对考试的压力甚大。为什么会有压力？压力乃因考试前的准备工作不足，没有信心考获好成绩来面对父母吧？没有信心是否是自己定下的目标是非本身的能力能够达至的呢？还是不能达到父母要自己的考试成绩比他人更好的期望？
学生的压力来自考试。无论是小学还是中学考试，都是以测量考生的为根基。所以，记忆力强者是占有一定的优势！加强考生的记忆力是考试前的准备工作。新的课程，新的讲义对学生是陌生的，没有一点熟悉感。一旦对它有了熟悉感，又不断的背念，认知后就变了知识，成了知识就库存入脑海为记忆。考试到来，考生只须费少许时间温习，印在脑海中的就会如水般的泄流而出。英语文法中有短缩关系从句 ( Reduced Relative clauses )，如果无法掌握其用法，很难明白句子的意思。
The letter which was sent to you was redirected to me.
上面是关系从句 ( Relative clauses )，但它可缩短至
The letter sent to you was redirected to me.
关系从句 ( Relative clauses )的which was 已被删除掉了。
再看看以下的例子：
1． I had my car repaired yesterday.
原文是：I had my car repaired by the mechanic yesterday.
原文中的by the mechanic已被删除掉了
2． Please show me the house rented was not meant for illegal activities.
原文是：Please show me the house which was rented was not meant for illegal activities
原文中的which was 已被删除掉了
3． Any money paid will not be refunded.
原文是: Any money which had been paid will not be refunded.
原文中的which had been 已被删除掉了Although, though, in spite of, despite of 是“虽然”的意思。但它们的用法，有不同点。
Although, though 是 连词（conjunctions） 。它们须置于clauses 条文或句子的前端。例子如下：
Although the book was expensive, I bought it.
Although he did not like that movie, he still accompanied his wife to the theatre.
Though the company suffered losses heavily, the company still paid out bonuses to its staff.
Though she was tired, she went on working.
in spite of, despite of 是介词（prepositions），它们须置于名词 ( Noun)的前端。 例子如下
In spite of the time limitation, he finished the exam in time.
They went out in spite of the rain.
Despite of his objection, the development plan was approved.
We bought the house despite its bad location.
看看以下的句子：
They went out though raining. （错）
They went out in spite of the rain. （对）
Despite the price was high, he bought it. （错）
Although the price was high, he bought it. （对）Room surcharge or Levy has been imposed and implemented by Penang Government since June 2014. The authority said the levy collected would be used to promote tourism in Penang for the benefits of visiting tourists. It has been almost three years since the collection of levy but we have not heard much about the development plans or promotional events pertaining to the tourism or its related operation.
There is an obvious lack of information centres on most of the Penang tourist centres. What the tourists especially non-local tourists need is the information and briefing on the attractions where they are visiting. Not only information centres are not available but also booths and stalls where pamphlets flyers and brochures can be obtained are hard to locate and find.
In some foreign countries where tourism is blooming, shutter buses are easily available from hotels to designated tourist spots and to ease the maintenance of these fleet of vehicles transporting tourists to the tourist sports, the local authorities can reimburse the hoteliers with the levy collected.
Levy collection is logic and relevant to be used to fund the tourism related activities including the maintenance. There are still many improvements needed for enhancement of the infrastructure in the tourist spots such as toileting facilities and erection and placement of informative signage.大马选民很无奈又无助，一直以来就受到无良和经验丰富政客的游说把选票投给他们。要不是前首相马哈迪医生因私利与现任首相纳吉反目成仇，我们不会看到这些政客的真正无耻无立场没有原则的丑陋的另一面。
这群政客为了选票，善搞课题煽动华裔选民的情绪不惜牺牲国民团结的根基。第十四届全国大选即将来临，我们相信这些政客又将在政治市场推出应时性的产品来吸引选民捞取选票。甚么华教课题，华社问题，宗教问题，自由民主等等，只要能在讲座会，宣传或文宣能有吸引力，能卖座有号召力就是他们的利用品。
今天我国的华裔须面对种种的障碍和困境，最大的问题是不懂如何鉴别政客和政治家。政客为私利，政治家为国为民不为私利而存。还有更重要的是，我们华裔选民也不能区别应时性的政治产品的虚与实，真与假。在情绪被煽动时，误判就出现了。所以，冷静的头脑，深思后的决定来投票是重要的。
