I’m quite perplexed on why suddenly sodomy is making such a fuss in Malaysia. It is illegal, both by Malaysian Law and most religions in the country and yet somehow this unnatural act is getting publicised too often. (more…)

‘Tis the season again where unsuspecting couples get tangled in matrimonial bonds. My good friend since high school Dr Ahmad Rafizi is having his reception in Kelana Jaya and I’ll be the emcee for the day, a favour I owe to my friend who was my best man during my wedding receptions.
One of my boss stated in a recent office bulletin,
Marriage is when a man loses his Bachelor, and a woman earns her Masters…

Tomorrow is the start of my last 10 days in office. No longer will I be called an Assistant Director. No longer will I be sitting in my cubicle. No long will I be within the walls of this office. There will be regrets, and I will miss being in the office. But life has to move on, and I’ve decided to stay close to my family.
I’ll be taking up a trainee lecturer’s post in Shah Alam, joining my wife who had started in early August this year. Soon we’ll be applying for postgraduate degrees in perhaps the UK or New Zealand. In November the little baby boy will be born, our first child. When the time comes for us to continue our studies, the little baby boy will spend a good few years with us overseas.
By end of the month, my precious 1993 Nissan 180SX will be driven by its new owner. The Red Tomato will cease to cruise around the Kesas Highway and soon it will roam the Northern Region.
Sad ends but a bright new beginnings.
The new chapter of my life is just beginning…

— dr.nazlihaffiz @ 10:04 pm — Comments (0) August 10, 2008People have been busy talking, criticising and protesting about the recent petrol hike. Yes, petrol in Bolehland is considered absurdly expensive when compared to Venezuela, but if you look at it carefully it is still far cheaper tha Malaysia’s neighbours.
I just filled up my 1993 180SX which had only one bar of fuel left. Around 38.1 litres later, I managed to put in a full tank for the week for a whopping RM102.87.
Well, I’m a dental surgeon getting around a not too shabby more or less RM50K a year. Yet I do feel the pinch of the petrol hike. It’s not really the price, as the effect is generally felt worldwide. It’s more of the monetary power the Ringgit has. If I’m getting in USD, then the effect is not so painful.
Compare the income of a Malaysian dental surgeon and say, Singapore, you could see such huge divide. I’m not griping about how little dental surgeons in Malaysia make (dental surgeons in the civil service at least), but a little more would be helpful. Dental treatments are costly, and many do not know that costs incurred by dental practitioners are very high. You would expect the highest standards of care, which in my opinion should include a good dental chair, an autoclave, high quality and in sufficient numbers of instruments, etc and yet people are reluctant to pay for it.
The Malaysian buying power is not that great due to the relatively weak Ringgit. So it is not the price of petrol, it lies directly in our own economy.
How on earth could a nation build an economy powerful enough to withstand global fluctuation of vital commodities such as petrol?
Definitely not through sodomy and childishness among the nation’s politicians!
