Penang 9-year-old Girl Becomes Youngest Birth Mother in Malaysia



Well, it is not a current issue again as it happened 2 years ago. But, I just know the news at Facebook yesterday =.= Am I outdated?  Anyway, I decided to discuss about it. Honestly, I am shocked and unbelievable!! I still remember we were just simple kids with innocence heart during 9 years old. From here, we should know that everyone has a responsibility to teach children especially parents! When anyone of you saw the small kids, even though they are not your children, if they have done something wrong, please have mercy and teach them to do the right thing no matter small or big mistakes! Do not forget that other children might become your child friends, if you think only your child is the best of the best, then you are extremely wrong! Moreover, lack of sexual knowledge and less attention to children can be really tremendous!
GEORGE TOWN: The authorities are investigating a vernacular news­paper report that a Year Three school­­­­girl gave birth to a baby boy after she allegedly had an affair with her 14-year-old neighbour.

State Health, Welfare and Caring Society Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said he was shocked to read the news in a Chinese daily yesterday.

“I have since alerted all departments concerned under my portfolio to investigate the matter. This is a very serious matter. Having sexual intercourse with a minor is considered statutory rape,” he said.

Phee added that they only had sketchy reports with not much information, adding that his office had referred the matter to the police.

“Any medical practitioner who delivered the baby boy must alert the state Health Depart­ment as the mother is said to be a nine-year-old. Those hiding information or abetting the crime will be charged. I appeal to those with information to come forward,” he said.

Penang deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said police had not received any report on the case.

State Education Department director Ibrahim Mohamad said he had checked with all the school principals and they claimed there was no such case in their schools.

“But I have been informed by my officer that there is a schoolgirl who had taken numerous MCs (medical certificates) before dropping out of school recently. I cannot ascertain whether the case is related. We will, how­ever, investigate the matter,” he said.

According to the Chinese daily, the girl, who comes from a broken home, gave birth at a private hospital some time last month. The girl, the paper claimed, seemed mature for her age as she was big compared with other girls of her age.

The report claimed that the boy’s affair with the girl started when she was eight.
The baby is said to be taken care of by the girl’s grandmother, who disclosed the case to a non-governmental organisation that alerted the paper about it.

Termites Destroy Taiwan Student's 8-yr Savings, Broken Overseas Study Dreams


Date: 26 June 2012
Title: Termites Destroy Taiwan Student's 8-yr Savings, Broken Overseas Study Dreams

An official from Taiwan's Investigation Bureau on Tuesday advised the public to keep their savings in financial institutions for safekeeping, citing a recent example in which a young college graduate lost most of her NT$1 million (US$33,375) savings stored in a safe at home after the cash was destroyed by termites.

The case reported in the local tabloid Apple Daily said a college graduate found in April that the money she had amassed over eight years to fund her overseas studies had been reduced to shreds by termites. The woman had been putting money away since high school in a safe at home.

According to the department of investigation, she is around more than 20 years old with long hair, graduated from Xinbei City Fu Jen Univeristy under faculty of management, she hoped to study abroad since childhood, intent to go America or Canada for further education. Unfortunately, her childhood wish would never come true.

The woman sent the damaged bills to the Investigation Bureau, but efforts to salvage the money were unsuccessful, said Liu Hui-fang, an expert in the forensics branch of the bureau who spent a week trying to piece the bills together.

The Bank of Taiwan allowed the woman to exchange the damaged bills for only a little over NT$26,000 (US$869), pointing out that the rest were beyond redemption.

Hu Hsing-yung, a section chief of the forensics arm of the bureau, said people should keep their banknotes in safe places such as banks and post offices to prevent their cash from damage.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Actually, I am quite sympathize with her, but many net friends were angry that why don't she save her money in the bank?? Anyway, look at the other angle........ We should help her by spreading this news around, maybe can find somebody to fund her overseas studies, make her dreams come true instead of keep blaming her without benefits? We should not tread upon her as I believe that she is now extremely upset more than what we think. Hence, let's share the news around to find good person who willing to help her.

Blogger: Threaded Comments/Continuous Reply On Blogspot


Finally, God never disappoints the studious. I found it!!! yay~
Most of bloggers are still using  @XXX  method, which popup in a new window.

But I found the more convenient method about comment replies as shown below:


I decided to keep these as a record by posting it. Half the day is gone, just because of this threaded comments method =.=  So funny right? Anyway, I am here showing the easiest way to add this threaded comments into your blogspot.

1) There are 2 main settings you should change to display threaded/continuous comments in your Blogger site:

a. Ensure your Blog Feed are set to  "Full"  in  Settings > Other


b. Choose to "Embed" your comment form below your post in Settings>Posts and Comments
Then, save settings.















2) Next, go to Template and click the Edit HTML button.
On the warning page, choose to proceed, then make sure you have checked the "Expand Widget Templates" box.

3) Now search for the following line of code:

<b:include data='post' name='comments'/>

If your template does not include this line of code, chances are you're already using an updated Blogger template and do not need to proceed any further.

4) If you do find the above line of code, replace it with the following:
<b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
  <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
<b:else/>
  <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
</b:if>

5) Preview your template to ensure you haven't made any mistakes in pasting the code, and if all is well, save your template!

Now when you view a post's comments section, you should see a "Reply" link beneath any existing comments. When you reply to a comment, a comment form will appear under the comment you are responding to, and your responses will appear beneath.

The only disadvantage of this comment style: Cannot popup in a new windows :((  especially friends profile name. Hence, please always be aware to
Right Click --> Open a new tab/ window.

Are you getting Depression? Let's take this test!


Depression is a major concern today. Depression is the most common mental health disorder in the world. What is depression? Generally, it may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods. Sometimes, it's not always evident when somebody is depressed. Everyone handles depression in different method. But if you choose not to share your feelings, it could make the depression to get worse and worse. Nowadays, people are depressed for so many reasons. Losing a loved one, exams, drugs, alcohol or peer pressure are a few examples of why people become depressed.

However, I believe that the significant factor for suicide starts from "depression". Hence, we cannot neglect the impact of depression. Most people will choose self-medication to treat mental illness, stress and depression. Self-medication is often seen as gaining personal independence from established medicine. Maybe it's helpful, but it's not as effective as the combination of counselling and medication. If your self-medication discontinued, depression will return back. What is counselling? It is involved in talk therapy which you talk about your feelings and thoughts, and pyschologists will help you learn how to deal with them so that you can change your behaviours and thoughts substantially.

As the saying goes, 'Prevention is better than cure.' It is the most important section to outline the prevention method for depression. Firstly, do not drink alcohol or use illegal drugs. These substances can make depression worse and might lead to thoughts of suicide. Next, take your medication exactly as your doctor instructed. Ask your doctor about the possible side effects and what you should do if you have any. Thirdly, learn to recognize the early signs or symptoms that your depression is getting worse.

The following tips might help you feel better:
  • Get more exercise
  • Maintain good sleep habits
  • Seek out activities that bring you pleasure
  • Volunteer or get involved in group activities
  • Talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling, eg. parents, friends, colleague
  • Try to be around people who are caring and positive
Luckily, nowadays effective treatments exist to help bring people's lives back under control. Yet tragically many people suffering from this illness go without diagnosis and treatment. So please get your treatment as soon as possible to avoid the increase in depression. The following depression test is a tool that help you recognize the symptoms of depression and realize to decide to get help or not. Please note that only a licensed professional can diagnose depression!!!

Here is my result. Oops, I get 47/100!! Is this level be considered critical?? How about you?

Nobody will laugh at you even though you have depression.
