ZAMBRY DECLARED PERAK MB

The Court of Appeal has unanimously ruled that Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir is the valid mentri besar of Perak.

The three-man bench, in setting aside the High Court’s decision earlier which ruled that Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin was the rightful mentri besar “at all material times,” held that Nizar had ceased to command the confidence of the majority of the Perak State Legislative Assembly.

“The learned High Court judge erred in his interpretation of the relevant provisions in the Perak Constitution.- The Star

WOMEN 'FIGHT OFF DISEASE BETTER'

These results demonstrate that women have a more powerful inflammatory response than men

Dr Maya Saleh
McGill University

Men really do have an excuse for supposedly being wimpy about coughs and colds - their immune systems are not as strong as women's, research suggests.

A Canadian study indicates that the female sex hormone oestrogen gives women's immune systems added bite at fighting off infection.

Oestrogen seems to counter an enzyme which blocks the inflammatory process.

HOW DOES ISLAM RELATE TO CHRISTIANITY AND JUDAISM

Muslims, Christians and Jews all trace their origins to the Prophet and Patriarch Abraham and their three Prophets are direct descendants from Abraham's sons - Muhammad from the eldest, Ishmael, and Moses and Jesus from Isaac (peace be upon them all).

Muslims particularly respect and revere Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of God's prophets and messengers. A Muslim never refers to him simply as "Jesus", but always adds the phrase "peace be upon him." The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth, and a special chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary" in honor of the mother of Jesus.
Jesus was born miraculously through the same power that had brought Adam (peace be upon them both) into being without a father:

"Truly the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." (Qur'an 3:59)

During his prophetic mission, Jesus (peace be upon him) performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said:

"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay a figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." (Qur'an 3:49)

Neither Muhammad nor Jesus (peace be upon them) came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it.

My birthday this year was really marvelous. Besides receiving Happy Birthday wishes from my beloved wife and family members, I also received messages from my ex personal assistant Puan Latipah, friends and acquaintances.

Spending Hari Raya with Qistyna

From Izad (Boy),

Moga Allah panjangkan umur, murahkan rezeki, agar sihat sentiasa. Happy 59th Birthday.


Papa, I am astounded, and amazed, always, on how far you've been. From a mere son of a rubber tapper to ruling a government body (regarding rubber! irony) and to where u are now, you have always been my look-up to. I dont think I am half the man you are. From Kampung bakar batu Johor to Univ California & then Manchester Uni, You've leaped over mountains, swam over seas. You saw things that others dont. You make a name of yourself. Kagum.

Happy birthday papa. I know you visit this blog a lot (tapi tak komen). so here's to a long prosperous HEALTHY life ahead papa. Here! Here!

It is an honour to be your son, always.
