same old shit.. and man... it's really hot.. i went there on a business trip last year.. and i prayed all the time that.. god would place his mercy on me and send me back home earlier than i had anticipated..
2 :
Naw, it isn't that bad lol. I'm living in Singapore and so it's pretty similar. Yes, you have to get used to the heat but I think you come from a similar environment anyway.Malaysia is a great place to live in and if you actually get out and explore, there's a lot of unique stuff to discover. What daily life is like might depend on where exactly you are in Malaysia. Some places are well developed like KL, others are still very rural. There's loads of good food if you like to try new stuff and if you do go, then you do have to keep your mind open. Life there is different but if you can learn to enjoy these differences instead of complaining, you'll enjoy your time there.
3 :
Hot and wet. No problem for you because it is an Islam country.
4 :
I am not a foreigner, so I would not experience how a foreigner's life in Malaysia.
5 :
It's a great place for work. However get ready to work hard because Malaysians are generally hardworking too. However that's if you are working Managerial level you'd be working in hell. In terms of economic stability & peacefulness it's awesome. Living here is nice. It has a good night life here in the city. We have got lots of air-conditioners and "mamak" food stalls that operate 24-hours. You want to make it big here in Malaysia. It's easy if you're hardworking. I have seen many Arabs living near my housing area. They buy cars & shop & no one bothers. And yeah, we're close to Singapore, but you'd be surprised how so many people are so fair skinned and life in general here is so slow paced & relaxed. Good on you!
6 :
On the whole, Malaysia has lots to offer in terms of food and places to visit. It could be an eye-opener of a sort for you. As a foreigner living in Malaysia, you can easily mingle in with the crowd as it is a pot-pourri of different races. Population is mainly multi-lingual unless of course you are based in a very remote area. It's not hard to assimilate and adapt as long as you don't do anything that would make you stick out like a sore thumb. But seriously tho', it is a great place and there are many foreigners who treat Malaysia as a second home. So go for it.. the food is fantastic!
7 :
the police here r corrupter maybe their salary problems so nobody really worry about alcohol test on drivers That make everyone worry to driving after nite cos we do not know who is drunk drivers
8 :

9 :
It is agreat offer you should grab. almost all facilities in malaysia are complete and the local people are friendly ones. You'll enjoy since you follow the regulations which are consider almost the same as othe countries'.
10 :
HOT HOT HOT RAIN RAIN RAIN
11 :
Great, plenty of hot guys like me. : )
12 :
One word to describe Malaysia, its the center of multiracial people. You can see every race of asians here, be it Malay, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Arabs and many more. You will feel at home immediately after you've landed to Malaysia. Good food, any types of food are in Malaysia. Best weather, sunny season, rainy season but you'll enjoy your stay here. Trust me, I've worked with few German interns, and believe me not, they doesnt want to leave Malaysia. How good is that? Developed country, many public transportation, friendly Malaysians (most of us speaks English as second language, so communication isn't a barrier) Come and experience here as a tourist then make up your mind. :)

Will xbox 360 games bought in malaysia work on a console which was bought in Australia

Will xbox 360 games bought in malaysia work on a console which was bought in Australia?
I know there's an issue with the region or something, how does it all work? Also, are controllers the same? Last thing, are PC games different? Will they work?
Malaysia - 2 Answers

1 :
sure why not, the only thing that is not the same is the electrical plug on the console
2 :
Xbox 360 games are unusual in that they do not necessarily have region coding. It is up to the publisher to decide whether or not to include the region coding in their games. This means that for some games, it is possible to buy the Australian versions and still use them on your Xbox 360 no matter what region it is (malaysia,singapore etc). Malaysia is a PAL country..and so is australia..so,the answer is yes.. EDIT : controller the same.. EDIT(again) : For pc games They're not region-locked, and no, they're not subject to differences in resolution either. PC resolutions are universal, you got yer 800x600, yer 1024x768, yer 1280x768, yer 1280x720, yer 1920x1024, and yer 1920x1080. Games are generally versatile in being able to adapt across various res's and many will allow you to play in a window if it doesn't match the res exactly.

2 :
Probably, if it is a multi band model and works with Celcom....but on registration with AT&T, you may need to pay extra, as you are not buyig the phone from them.....
3 :
Like the gentleman said above you could unlock the phone then you can load a prepaid sims to any phone carrier here in the U.S. You might also ask your AT&T provider (Malaysia) if international roaming are available, meaning you can call Malaysia anytime w/o any problem. Of course, that will be an extra charge on your phone bill from AT&T.

I am a foreigner came with my wife to visit Malaysia but its eyesore to see the roads with many pothholes? Why?
I heard from friends that Malaysian is a fast developing country and has got excellent airports and landmarks like Petronas Twin Towers etc. But, to my supprise when I travel along Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Petaling Jaya ( Jalan Gasing), OUG, Jalan Puchong, and other important roads in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, a lot of pothholes are found. Most of the roads are badly maintained. What the Transport Minister and Public Works department in your country is doing? What about the KL Mayor or Federal Territory ministor or Deputy Ministor doing? Daily I watch in your TV, ministers and MPs are talking and talking on stage about petty matters related to opposition only? When read newspapers its same story.

Where is the best Island(s) in South East Asia to go to in mid-January

Where is the best Island(s) in South East Asia to go to in mid-January?
I plan on taking a trip from Kuala Lumpur (where I currently live) to a chilled out island, relatively nearby, but want to avoid the monsoon/any bad weather. I'll be traveling on my own, which I like to do sometimes and I really want peace and quiet, a good beach, plenty of sun and clear water. I want to avoid any of the horrific tourist traps and overpopulated, areas of the South-East Asian Islands. As my girlfriend is overseas and my friends are working, I want a place that I can just read a good book, get a tan, eat some excellent local food, take stunning photos (I'm an amateur photographer) and recharge for the eventual rat-race to come. I have been to: *Perhentian Islands (My favorite) *Tioman (Ok-la) *Redang (Too many tourists... but met some fellow Londoners here!) *Langkawi (Liked it) *Bali (Need to explore more). I was considering Phi Phi / Phuket / Boracay or one of the Sulawesi Islands. I might even go back to Bali, but NW/NE and explore the SE Islands like Lombok. :P

Contact the nearest British Embassy and ask how to get a visa. This could be a long process. You will also need a ticket and be able to prove that you have enough money for your stay in Britain.

You will need a visa to be able to come to the UK for a visit. You can find all the information about that at this link to our Government Border Agency site... http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ukvqr;jsessionid=2D5D2436637749C672DC7F65374F7842.tomcat3?redirect=true&promoId=1910262&reason=Visit&nationality=Philippines&location=Malaysia You will also need to prove to our immigration that you have enough money to support yourself whilst you are here, and that you intend to leave the country before your visa expires. Unfortunately too many people have come here in the same circumstances as yourself and have abused the terms of their visa, and not left the country...this has a rebound effect on other visitors to the UK in as much as it makes it harder for them to enter the UK.

Hi all, I would like to know how about salary ranges in Changzou, Jiansu, China. I a foreigner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and recently I am offered to be a DBA in Changzhou. I have been asked about the expected salary and since I have no idea about living expenses and job market in China, I am seeking for advices. I really appreciate any information on living expenses, job market, and life in Changzhou. Another concern for me is how secure will be my job in china.

About the position: DBA to enhance companies data life-cycle, organize and analyse data, reporting, business intelligence. Thanks in advance

According to one investigation initialized by ITPUB in 2009, the biggest Database tech community. The monetary unit is Chinese currency RMB here. Firstly, the salary of DBA is generally higher than software developer. 72.1% of them is higher than 4000. Among them, 31.3%'s salary are more between 4000 and 5999; 17.7% can have 6000 to 7999; 11.6% can get 8000 to 9999; 11.5% can earn more than 10000. Changzhou is not a big city. But it should be convenient for living. The house price there is much cheaper than the major big cities in China. So the money you make is enough for your living. Maybe you can even afford the loan of buying an apartment. As you know, DBA is one of the stablest job in IT area. But language fluency is required for DBA, you are safe if you can communicate with your technical colleague and your boss.

What is wrong with Monday

What is wrong with Monday ?
Please, tell me why I don't like Mondays. It's only 7:30 AM, and I am already melancholy. I just figured out some chick who I thought was just a nice girl who liked to to chat online, has been working me hard for a couple of weeks, trying to set up one of those financial scams. You know the one, "I've got money in some mysterious bank accout, somewhere, I need your help to get it. Can you help me, please?" I am so naive, I gotta stop that. She finally got around to it. Worked me, set me up for weeks! B**h! Probably wasn't even a girl, it was some hairy guy in Kuala Lumpur, who posted a pretty picture. Darn! I should have seen that one coming, instead, I just stepped right in front of the bus, got out of the way just in time, though. Like ,I said, I am so naive. If people do not stop messing with my mind, playing with my emotions, I am just going to stop associating with anybody! I swear to God, I am tired of it. And, I'm not being paranoid. Well, maybe a little, it just pisses me off. I am not sure I'd call it punk, but it was a song. Boomtown Rats, I believe. I do get out in public, meet people, face to face. One of those just tore me up recently too. I am just way too easy, that's the problem. Gotta get tough! Not cynical. I love humanity. Just have to be careful.

Tell me why I don't like Mondays. Wasn't that a punk rock song? lol Yes, your situation does suck...but you're not the only person this has happened to. When one is lonely, they can be extremely vulnerable. I had something similar happen four years ago. A guy from England whom I met at a US/UK romance website was pretty much pretending to be my friend, that he wanted something "more." and even though I was 43, and college educated, I was STILL dumb enough to believe it. With each email and IM, he let me build up a bunch of hopes, dreams, fantasies...and I told him things I had never shared with anyone else. He even went so far as to talk about the possibility of marriage (and when you're a woman over 40 that's not something to be trifled with). I broke up with a guy I had been dating three years because this other guy sounded so promising...and then one day suddenly without any warning he knocked me down viciously in one fall swoop. I had never had such a cruel, attacking and abusive parting email before or since. I was left feeling like I had gotten broadsided by a car or something! Even worse? After that, he disappeared off my MSN messenger, I couldn't reach him by phone or email. It was as if he had never existed! I found out later on that the guy was MARRIED and that he had attempted to scam several other women at that same website...all of us with the same fantasy that they were going to meet that smart, kind Englishman ala Hugh Grant and settle in a manor house somewhere in the countryside and live happily ever after with no worries. He "dumped" us all in the same way...basically when he was getting close to getting found out! Anyway, it was just terrible. I remember I was just devastated by this. I cried for weeks, lost weight, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep... and over what? A few romantic words and some empty promises on a screen and one phone call to a guy who had the WORST British accent I had ever heard! Why? Because it felt like a violation...almost a psychological rape of sorts. Maybe you're feeling that way about now? It would only be natural... Anyway, now I look back and think WTF were you thinking, girl? Yeah, because I let my guard down, I let this phantom lover "break my heart" but I'm so thankful that a lot worse didn't happen (like him stealing my money or identity). Yeah, Mr. "Wonderful" from Wiltshire pretty much wrote me a big fat reality check, that's for sure....the tear I shed at that time forced me to open my eyes and look at things differently...and I eventually realized that I was looking for happiness/love in all the wrong places...and not appreciating what I had right in my own backyard...and realizing that made all the difference in the world. but still this is not really about Mondays...or any other day of the week. It's about regaining trust in your fellow human beings, about how yow you plan to deal with your emotions ,and what attitude you'll choose to take...it's all about your attitude, trust me on that. You don't have to choose to let that one situation define your entire experience with humanity or let it leave you embittered. Consider it a hard lesson learned, then move on. (However, if I were you, I'd consider reporting this with your bank or the Federal Trade Commission FTC if they got any $$ from you) Why not look at it this way? Since the baggage has been removed, you now know know what doesn't work. You have a new opportunity here. If you really want to meet people, then shut off that computer and get out into your community and TALK to other people in real time. Take a class, do volunteer work, walk a dog...something other than just relying on stuff online. If you do meet others online, set some guidelines (like being in the same or a neighboring state wher you can take it into real time a lot faster)...in other words, think globally but DATE locally, that's the answer. That's what I did. Luckily, the guy had been dating took me back, and now we've been together 7 years and I've never been happier. No it's not a "movie" romance, but I've learned there's nothing more romantic than reality :) Hang in there, it will get better. Honest.

That would hurt. I think honesty and love are the foundations of happiness - and parts of society are not like that anymore. You have 2 choices as I see it - get bitter, or, believe in decency and hold out for it in your own life.

If you can buy a round trip bus ticket from the airport to Down town KL, do. its almost 45 minutes away and the taxi fare is expensive. but they do have very nice buses that make the trip every hour or so and you can get a deal as part of your air ticket. even after you have purchased it. KL can be quite expensive but there is much you can do for small amounts of money. The butterfly and bird cages at the park are amazing. Temples and towers with great views etc. If you can get a rogue taxi he will make you a package deal. I found and Indian guy in the backpacker district and he made my trip. I ended up eating lunch with his family at a small restaurant they owned and it was fantastic. India is a different matter. it is generally much cheaper and has so many sights and things to do that I just can't list them. Again its a good idea to get a local driver for the day to show you around and be your protector. He will make sure you don't get taken while shopping and generally keep you safe. A rule of thumb. No matter how fancy the restaurant. If you cannot see their kitchen do not eat there. Some of the hotels kitchens are disgusting. When you decide to eat street food. Pick out a shop that has lots of people eating at it. the food will be fresher and safer. and you get to watch your food prepared so you know how clean the process is. With your travel and hotel costs covered... $2000 should be a very safe number and you don't have to spend it all of course. and remember that there are banks and ATM's in India and KL so you don't have to carry large amounts of money around. If you email me I will send along a list of things to remember for your trip, Just safety tips and tricks that I have learned in years of international travel. Aslocran@yahoo.com this is not a commercial thing. Just advice from a fellow traveler. You will have a blast. Do not decide to take the Waters at Varanasi. its a good way to be sick for the rest of your life. And if you get a chance go by the Bodi tree and get a fallen leaf or two off the ground. A great little present that is free for any people that you know that are into Indian religions. The Taj is pretty cool and the surrounding grounds are amazing. If you can go early in the morning you will do better and its usually clearer at that time making for better pictures. and get a bag that has a strap long enough to put around your neck. a little thought can save you lots of trouble. There are a couple of neat little book stores in Varanasi but I can't remember their names. You definitely need a good guide in this town, Have fun.

How many languages spoken in the world???? do you know friends

How many languages spoken in the world???? do you know friends??
The top 10 languages spoken in the world 10. French -- Number of speakers: 129 million Often called the most romantic language in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too. We're actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!). To say "hello" in French, say "Bonjour" (bone-JOOR). 9. Malay—Indonesian Number of speakers: 159 million Malay-Indonesian is spoken - surprise - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian. But they're all pretty much based on the same root language, which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the world.Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000 islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world. Malaysia borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur. To say "hello" in Indonesian, say "Selamat pagi" (se-LA-maht PA-gee). 8. Portuguese -- Number of speakers: 191 million Think of Portuguese as the little language that could. In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator. (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named "Prince Henry the Navigator" became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the language established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it's the national language), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique. To say "hello" in Portuguese, say "Bom dia" (bohn DEE-ah). 7. Bengali -- Number of speakers: 211 million In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks Bengali. And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the population is growing so fast, just breathing the air can get you pregnant), the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people would expect. To say "hello" in Bengali, say "Ei Je" (EYE-jay). 6. Arabic -- Number of speakers: 246 million Arabic, one of the world's oldest languages, is spoken in the Middle East, with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in 1974 it was made the sixth official language of the United Nations. To say "hello" in Arabic, say "Al salaam a'alaykum" (Ahl sah-LAHM ah ah-LAY-koom) . 5. Russian -- Number of speakers: 277 million Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Yakov Smirnoff are among the millions of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie enemies. Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. (to name just a few places). To say "hello" in Russian, say "Zdravstvuite" (ZDRAST-vet- yah). 4. Spanish -- Number of speakers: 392 million Aside from all of those kids who take it in high school, Spanish is spoken in just about every South American and Central American country, not to mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish in the U.S., as many English words are borrowed from the language, including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande supreme. To say "hello" in Spanish, say "Hola" (OH-la). 3. Hindustani -- Number of speakers: 497 million Hindustani is the primary language of India's crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi). While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world. If you're interested in learning a little Hindi, there's a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/ musicals every year. To say "hello" in Hindustani, say "Namaste" (Nah-MAH-stay) . 2. English -- Number of speakers: 508 million While English doesn't have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around the world, including the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. We'd tell you more about English, but you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already. Let's just move on to the most popular language in the world. To say "hello" in English, say "What's up, freak?" (watz-UP-freek) . 1. Mandarin -- Number of speakers: 1 billion+ Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet, China. Beating second-place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don't let that lull you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways (or "tones"), and a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another. But if over a billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello! To say "hello" in Mandarin, say "Ni hao" (Nee HaOW). ("Hao" is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end.)

According to sources, there are 45,000 languages worldwide. Not to mention made up ones. Some of them have fewer than 100 speakers and for a smaller portion, there's just 1 sole-speaker.

Sorry to say, but in your "statement" on languages there are many things which are simply not true nor accurate, since I'm portuguese and a portuguese language teacher, here's what's real about Portuguese and Portugal: - Portugal did not gain it's independence from Spain, in the 12th century Spain did not even existed... Our first king, Afonso Henriques, the son of a french templar knight, turned the territory of Portus Cale (given by the pope to Count Henry as a reward for his participation on the Crusades), into the first and thus oldest European country in 1143. Spain became a kingdom under that name and with those borders in 1492, so, as you can see, Portugal is 350 years older than Spain and the portuguese language is equally older. - Portuguese is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, St. Tomé and Principe, Guine-Bissau, Angola, Moçambique and East Timor. Portuguese is also spoken in the indian cities of Damão, Diu and Goa, former portuguese territories untill the 1950's and Macau, untill 1999 a portuguese territory in China, that, unlike Hong Kong, taken by force from the chinese in the 19th century, Macau was actually given as an offer by the chinese emperor to the portuguese king in the 16th century for getting rid of the thousands of pirates that controlled the China Sea. - The portuguese language IS NOT number 8 in the world but actually number 6, it has more than 250 million speakers and that's just the combined populations of the countries I mentioned above, there are more speakers born in those countries, but who live abroad, roughly 30 million more. In Brazil alone there are close to 200 million speakers, making it the number one language in South America, more than spanish... - Finally, Hello in portuguese is olá and not bom dia which means good morning... I could make the same if not even more corrections on the other languages you mention. You should do a better and real research instead of a fiction...

Anyone able to answer

Anyone able to answer?
I am an archivist of my former school. And I have question. Lets say during the late 1910s, there's a teacher who had a camera (quite a good possession back then), and she was working for a missionary school, and she worked there for 2 years from 1919 to 1921, do you think that particular teacher will take photos of the school, the place she worked? And she was from the States, but the school is in the then Malaya, now known as Malaysia. I just want to know how people might judge this case based on their point of views in general. Cause I have found out all the belongings of her including here photographs are in the Yale Archive. And I am trying hard to judge, did she take any photographs of my former school, Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur as I am involved with my former school's archive. We want to depict life from 1897 to 1960s.

Why not? She was certainly working in a country that differs a lot from hers and would think it interesting to take pictures for the school and other places to show or send home. If you have the photographs then I think she would label them at the back with date and definition. Pictures were a rarity at the time and people would take care of them and make sure they indicate when and where they were shot.
2 :
sure she would photographers with good equipment use it all the time write to the archivist at Yale see if they can get you some copies its quite easy to do these days so maybe they would.

Hi, I have an offer of RM 3000 from a marketing research company in Malaysia for working as Project Manager.

Hi, I have an offer of RM 3000 from a marketing research company in Malaysia for working as Project Manager.?
I am currently working in India as Project Manager,in Gurgaon, for a MR company. I would like to know if the Malaysian offer, of RM 3000, is worthwhile to make a shift from India to Malaysia. What is cost of living in Malaysia like, will I be able to save enough to send back home or barely survive with RM 3000. Also what are pay packages like in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur for PM in MR? I really need help as I do not know any one living in Malaysia. Please send your responses soon as I have to get back to the company with my answer....

Hi there, are u being offered more than what you're currently earning? RM3000 is pretty low.. it's equivalent to only US$875.. I suggest u not to switch since the pay is too little and further more you don't know anyone there. I'm from Singapore, so the cost of living in KL should be quite similar. Only in non-city areas in msia would the cost of living be much cheaper. U still have to consider accomodation and etc.. I'm not too sure about the market rate for PM in MR but a standard package should at least be RM4000. Unless there's a huge difference, or you're a really thrifty person, I say stick to your current one as it's more convenientas your offer is really not enough.
2 :
If the company offers you the following in addition to the RM3,000 then you can accept the offer. 1. Company car plus petrol and maintenance of the car. 2. Company paid accommodation. 3. Company pays for your income taxes. 4. Company pays for your air passage at the end of your contract, or at least once a year. 5. Company provides and pays for your mobile phone subscription. RM3,000 alone without any other benefits is too low a salary for a Project Manager. Expenses: Food: A typical meal could cost you anywhere between RM5 to RM8. Traveling: If the company pays for your local traveling, then budget RM150 to RM200 a month for your personal traveling. Else, budget RM400 to RM600. If the company provides you with a car + petrol + maintenance and you are allowed to use this car for your personal traveling, then you can ignore this expense. Accommodation: Renting a decent room in the city center could cost you anywhere between RM350 to RM700 Mobile phone service: Anywhere between RM30 to RM200 a month.

Medical student in Dublin wondering why she coudnt get a summer job

Medical student in Dublin wondering why she coudnt get a summer job.?
Hi, this is just a q's in my head actually but I would like to share it with others. I am a medical student from Kuala Lumpur studying medicine in one of the top university in Dublin. As a medical student, I believe i posess very strong skills( at least something). I wonder why I didnt get any job even I have send my cv to most of the stores and shops. Is it because I am an Asian student or is it because I am wearing scarves as I am a muslim and maybe some ppl taught I might not be suitable working in the shops (eg; fashion department). I am soo frustrated and maybe also some ppl taught I didnt posses good english skills but as a medical studnt I have attended a lot of english exams to grant for my scholarship to study in europe. pls give ur opinion. thanks! =)

Maybe who you are and where you are from is not as important here as where you going and who you are going to become. Instead of applying at stores and shops, maybe you should send those CV's to clinics or hospitals who could use someone with your knowledge and skills. If if you can only work as a patient transporter or registration clerk, you will be in the right place at the right time and gain some valuable experience

wow that's bad. Indonesian maids in Malaysia usually come from villages in Java. They are very shy and quite to other people. I think she probably ran to someone she knows best, maybe her best friend in KL (could be a maid too). Other option she might have ran away to the port to get a ship back to Indonesia since she has no money. It's a really complicated problem. Try to contact again the Indonesian embassy if needed. Report to local housing block security, or if there is no, contact the police.
2 :
Unfortunately domestic violence isn't just limited to immediate family members and these days it extended to the maids that worked for them. These kind of cases happened a lot and the Indonesian Embassy won't be able to help that much am afraid. Sadly I've heard lots of cases like this not only in Malaysia but from other places such as HK, Singapore and Saudi etc. Its a matter of human's basic rights but then again we tend to ignore it in Asia! ;]]] If the employee goes through an agent, would be better off for you to just ask the girl to contact her agent that found her the work to get in touch with her former employee and hope that they could resolve it. Worse comes to worse you could suggest to her that she lawyered up and sue her former employee to demand her pay. Hope this helps.
3 :
She can file a complain with the Indonesian embassy.(Jalan Ampang opposite the American embassy - refer to Google map for exact location) The embassy have facilities to house her temporary in their maids protection home while waiting for investigation. Tell her not to be afraid as she is not alone in facing such problems while working in Malaysia.
4 :
Do nothing more than to ask her to go to the Embassy of Indonesia. That's her ONLY way out.

bob p comment on karen tumulty concerning general colin powell?
Bob P UserMember since: December 30, 2007 6,833 points Level 5 So who might be pizazz choices for this year's contenders? McCain might turn to his longtime hero Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. THANKS FOR WRITING ABOUT KAREN TUMULTY WHO PROPOSED THAT GENERAL COLIN POWELL WHO IS THE FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE AND CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEF OF STAFF BE MADE THE US VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE US 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THE JOUNALIST PROPOSITION THAT GENEAL COLIN POWELL BE MADE THE VICE PRESIDENT ON SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN REPUBLIIC TICKET IS A GOOD IDEA AND THE BEST TICKET FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO WIN THE 2008 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO WAR WITH RUSSIA AND THE IRON CURTAIN NATIONS THEN YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT WITH RUSSIA AND CHINA WHICH ARE THE WORLD SUPERPOWER AS A TEAM. RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE COMMING UP WITH A BLUE NAVY WITH OIL AND FOOD POWER. THIS IS A NEW BALL GAME IN GEOPOLITICS. SO, RUSSIA WILL ATTACK ISRAEL AND CHINA WILL ATTACK IRAQ AS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK OF EZIKIEL AND REVELATION OF THE BIBLE. WE NEED THE BEST AMERICAN GENERAL AS NO. 2 TO OVERSEA THESE TWO WAR FRONTS. AMERICA IS GOING TO KEEP ALL THOSE ONE TRILLION BARREL OF OIL FOR THE NEXT 120 YEARS. (1,100,000,000,000 BARREL OF OIL FROM ALL OIL PRODUCING NATIONS" OTHERWISE, AMERICA NEED 300,000,000 HORSES TO GO TO CHURCH, WORK, AND GAMES? AMERICAN SHOULD START CLONING HORSES AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT BEFORE THE OIL AMBARGO TAKE EFFECT DURING THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF THE ARAB WORLD. THIS IS NO JOKE WHEN THE NEXT OIL AMBARGO TAKE PLACE SINCE 1973 OIL CRISIS WHEN ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD TO LINE UP AT GAS STATION FOR OIL. IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY SOON FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE SOVIET UNION MICHAEL GOBACHEV IS COMING BACK TO POWER AND LEAD THE RUSSIAN RED ARMY TO INVADE THE STATE OF ISRAEL AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT BEFORE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN FINISH THEIR BREAKFAST. YA MAMA I TOLD YOU SO? MR. MIKHAIL GORBACHEV IS THE REINCANATION OF NAPOLEAN BONAPARTE. ANY AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTY THAT SUPPORT THE CONQUEST OF THE ARAB WORLD WILL WIN THE 2008 AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MR.
