Malaysia National Anthem and "Rukun Negara"

As I’v mentioned an in earlier blog post,  I am attending an interview at Malaysia IMM for my permanent residence application on 3rd September 2013. So people wish me luck that I’m gonna ace it so I can move on the next level of the application.

The first few things that the officer told me I got to know are the Malaysia National Anthem and “Rukun Negara” so here’s the information in case anyone is looking..

1.Lyrics for Malaysia’s  National Anthem ” Negaraku”

Negaraku….
Tanah tumpahnya darahku,
Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju,
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, Selamat bertakhta!
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan,
Raja kita, Selamat bertakhta!

 

2. Rukun Negara

• Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan
• Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara
• Keluhuran Perlembagaan
• Kedaulatan Undang-Undang
• Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan

 

I’ve no idea what other questions they may ask but I guess basic things like the name of the prime minister, Dato Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak, National Flower (Bunga Raya or Hibiscus) or maybe info about about the flag, Jalur Gemilang as I found out below: (sorry its’s in Malay)

Bendera Malaysia mengandungi 14 jalur merah dan putih (melintang) yang sama lebar bermula dengan jalur merah di sebelah atas dan berakhir dengan jalur putih di sebelah bawah, tanda keanggotaan yang sama dalam persekutuan 13 buah negeri – Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor dan Terengganu dan Kerajaan Persekutuan.

Bahagian yang berwarna biru tua di atas sebelah kiri membawa ke bawah hingga atas jalur merah yang kelima itu maknanya perpaduan rakyat Malaysia. Bahagian biru tua itu mengandungi anak bulan tanda Agama Islam – agama rasmi Malaysia. Bintang pecah 14 itu tanda perpaduan 13 buah negeri dan Kerajaan Persekutuan. Warna kuning pada anak bulan dan bintang itu ialah warna Diraja bagi Duli-duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-raja.

Semasa sambutan kemerdekaan ke 40, pada 31 Ogos 1997 Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad telah memilih nama Jalur Gemilang bagi bendera Malaysia.

 

Anyway.. am off to do more research…

Oh by the way.. Happy Merdeka Day Malaysia!  Did you guys catch the Google Doodle yesterday. Awesome right?

 

Cheerio…

Try Non Surgical Liposuction to Safely Remove Fat

Unfortunately, stubborn fat is a problem that many Americans deal with. If this is something you can relate to, you know how difficult it can be to not only lose weight, but also to slim certain areas of your body. Weight gain can creep up on a person before they even realize it has occurred. Although the extra pounds seem to come easily, it’s far more difficult to make them go. Eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise are, of course, important for everyone, but even by following these healthy habits, some individual’s bodies have a hard time getting back to what they once were. If you are in this situation, there are innovative options out there like non-surgical liposuction that can help you get more from your lifestyle and get you the body you want.

How It Works

Traditional liposuction, which requires surgery, is still a popular choice for weight loss. It is effective, but some individuals would prefer to avoid surgery if possible. Fortunately, other liposuction options are now available. One of these techniques literally freezes fat away. It targets fat cells in a non-invasive way and eliminates them. No cutting is needed. Fat cells are targeted exclusively so surrounding tissues won’t be harmed. There are several important reasons this approach has taken off. One is that because it’s a non-invasive technique, there isn’t a risk of scarring. There is also no downtime. Short periodic appointments are scheduled, and after a few months, you’ll notice your fat begin to disappear. The dermatologist working with you will tell you how often your sessions should occur.

Less Risk

Every surgery, no matter how small, carries some level of risk with it. Why not avoid that risk altogether and choose a non-surgical liposuction technique? You can easily eliminate your fat in a safe, effective manner. Without having to worry about things like surgical complications and scarring, you can feel confident that your body will become what you want it to be. Dermatology center specialists will work with you to develop a treatment plan and help you feel great about your body.

Maybe It’s Time to Try Laser Hair Removal

You’ve probably tried all sorts of methods to try and remove that unwanted hair. Most women worry most about any hair they have growing on their upper lip and chin, their bikini zone, legs, armpits, and even their stomach and back. Some women are hairier than others; women that suffer from a hormonal imbalance called Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome often end up growing extra hair thanks to their condition. And thanks to extra pressure that women in American society face, any extra hair growth is considered unfeminine.

One great option that’s become available in recent years is Assara’s laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is a treatment that actually has the potential to give you permanent results. No other hair removal product can come close to giving that result. But it’s not for everyone; the costs for treatment are pretty steep, so if you’re considering laser hair removal, definitely do your research before you try it. Here is a little information about the most common means for hair removal along with how they measure up to laser hair removal.

Depilatory
Depilatory is just a fancy word for those hair-removing creams like Nair. These creams are not suited for everybody because the chemicals in it are highly irritating. The cream works by dissolving the hair and only is effective until new hair growth starts coming in. If you don’t have a skin reaction to the cream, then using this stuff is going to be your least painful option. Unlike laser hair removal, using Nair will only give you results for a day or two at most. It’s also scary to think about putting those harsh chemicals on your skin every couple of days,

Shaving
Shaving is the most common method women use to get rid of unwanted hair. Shaving is potentially dangerous since you’re using sharp blades to cut the hair. Its results only last a day or two, and then you’ve got stubble that makes your legs feel like a porcupine. Shaving is the least expensive, but the time spent shaving every day can really add up over a few decades.

Waxing
Waxing is a preferred option for women who want longer results with their hair removal. Some women wax themselves, but most go to a salon for a professional to do it. Waxing pulls the whole hair out, from the root, and so the result is smoother skin for longer. It is painful, however, and unlike Assara’s laser hair removal, the results are not at all permanent.
