Universiti Malaya (UM) reaffirmed its status as the nation's premier university for the fourth year in a row, achieving its best position in the QS Asian University Rankings 2012 at 35th overall and the first among all higher learning institutions in the country.
UM extended its domination as the top university in Malaysia since the first QS Asian University Rankings was introduced four years ago and has seen a steady improvement in rankings year by year.
"In this year's Asian rankings revealed by QS, UM achieved an overall score of 71.4 out of a possible 100 and ranked fourth for inbound and outbound student exchange.
"It was also ranked number one in Malaysia for academic reputation and employer reputation," said its vice-chancellor Tan Sri Dr Ghauth Jasmon in a statement on Wednesday.

Long Range Wireless doorbells
Wireless doorbells are the norm these days rather than the exception and are useful for both homes and offices. Long range wireless doorbells are generally used in a place with a lot of wireless interference. They are also great for out-buildings and businesses. Looking for a long range doorbell? Below are the longest ranged wireless doorbells on the market and are available on the Wireless Doorbell Store.
The Optex 1400 ft. Range Wireless Doorbell works great where you need a little more range to transmit a signal through an area with high interference, or if your shops or outbuildings are outside the standard distance of your current range capability.
This long-range wireless alert system includes one push button and one receiver. Up to twelve additional sensors may be purchased and added to each receiver (3 on each zone) allowing coverage of multiple locations simultaneously. The receiver can be programmed to use four distinct tones to enable you to identify which sensor is being triggered. This system is compatible with their 1400 ft. range motion sensor, allowing you to have both a doorbell and a motion alarm all in one system. This system also allows for added range.
The Dakota 1000 ft. Range Wireless Doorbell is an easy do-it-yourself system for adding a doorbell in a home or business. The wireless push button can send its signal up to 1000 feet to the base. There are 16 separate musical alerts to notify you as to which button has been activated. Up to four separate push buttons can be integrated with one base and every button can be set to use a different melody or tone for easy identification. The base also has four indicator lights, allowing review of activated zones at a glance. This wireless doorbell is easy to install, ideal for any home or office. This product comes with a discount at the moment.
Here is a wireless doorbell that can also serve as a pager, perfect for monitoring a patient or bed-ridden family member. When your assistance is needed, they can simply press a button to notify you.
The Dakota 600 ft. Range Wireless Doorbell w/ Pager is great for large homes or work places which need additional distance between the push-button and the receiver. For security reasons, I see a lot of offices using this system.
Being portable, it allows for free movement at the same time alerting you when someone arrives at your door. The portable receiver is very compact at only 2.5” x 1.25” x .75” and fits snugly in your pocket. This unit also receives and stores alert signals. Each time the doorbell is pressed, the receiver alerts you and registers date/time of the activity (up to 400 day/time stamps can be recorded). The battery on this portable receiver can even hold a charge for up to 10 days.
This long-range wireless doorbell includes one push button and one receiver. An unlimited number of additional push buttons may be purchased and added to each receiver, allowing you to cover multiple locations at once. The receiver can be set to sound off four distinct beeps so you know which doorbell is being pressed. There is also a discount on this product currently.
All products including long range doorbells sold on Wireless Doorbell Store come with a 30-day money back guarantee! They ensure quick delivery, product being shipped the same day it is ordered. There is not sales tax, except for WA state.

Nurses in the country encouraged to specialise
This is a step in the right direction encouraging nurses to specialise and in the process enabling them to enjoy monthly cash incentives.
From the Star:
SHAH ALAM: More specialist nurses will enjoy monthly cash incentives, as the government bids to encourage more nurses to specialise in 26 fields of healthcare.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said there was a shortage of specialist or special care nurses, with only 21,814 nurses having post-basic qualifications from a total of 96,598.
To encourage them to specialise, he said the government had expanded the list of critical care and clinical specialisation to 26 fields from the initial 18.
Liow said a post-basic certificate was equivalent to an advanced diploma, and the added skills and knowledge would help nurses care for their patients better.

Insure all foreign workers
Foreign workers make up a big part of Malaysia's labour workforce in a number of industrial sectors including construction, manufacturing, food and beverage and others. The Malaysian government has made it compulsory for foreign workers to have insurance coverage.
Beginning May 14, the Labour Department will begin to trace and penalise employers who have not provided insurance coverage for their foreign workers. Employers who fail to provide insurance coverage can be charged under Section 26 (6) of the Act, which carries a maximum two years’ jail, a fine of up to RM20,000 or both.
Government records show only 1.2 million workers out of 1.8 millions workers in the country are covered by insurance leaving more than 600,000 yet to be provided with insurance coverage.
The Labour Department takes the failure to insure foreign workers very seriously. Currently, 28 insurance providers were approved by the department.

Security Monitoring via The SNARE System
The advent of the Internet has revolutionized the world, changed the way we do things, the way we live. With technology, we can now perform a lot of tasks online, run errands, making it convenient to go shopping, pay bills, do banking, and so forth. It has even enabled us to shop and pay bills without literally handling cash and all in the comfort of our home still in PJs even.
The convenience of doing business online calls for personal information to be available online and with that the risk of private information being compromised. Government and regulatory bodies are now mandating that corporations protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the sensitive information. This requirement has placed a burden on organizations as they attempt to conform to specific regulatory acts.
Data protection can best be protected within an organization by constantly reviewing the log files of the various devices to ensure that critical systems have not been compromised. Log files provide a wealth of information, but event log management has until now been a manual process.
The SNARE System from IntersectSecurity provides clear, concise, accurate reporting (including windows security log reporting) of the information that is pertinent to your organizations security and audit requirements. The SNARE System toolset is comprised of the SNARE Server and the SNARE Agents.
The SNARE system enables data to be analyzed, recorded and reported based on the corporate audit requirements. Reports can be created as well as template adjusted providing flexibility to an organizations reporting structure.
The SNARE Agents have been developed for a number of applications and operating systems including Windows, Solaris, AIX, Irix, Linux, ISA, IIS, and others. The Agents are installed and configured on systems that are to be monitored for specific audit activity. They forward only those events that match the configured audit criteria to the SNARE Server. The SNARE Open Source Agents are licensed under GPL.
SNARE is an easy to install and configure solution, ensuring that an organization can be up and running in a short amount of time, the windows security log reporting system securely in place ensuring your organization is in compliance with Regulatory Acts and Best Practices in Security.

MRT in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur
No visit to Kuala Lumpur is complete if you don't visit Chinatown and its famous Jalan Petaling or Petaling Street where the place comes alive in the evening with its world-famous street market and its associated hustle and bustle of activities. Here is where visitors and locals alike haggle for a good bargain on an ecclectic array of goodies you can bring home for yourself, your friends and family.
You can find toys (and if you look further beyond the streets, there are a number of toy stockists); fashionable clothes for men, women and children; soccer jerseys (great bargain for very close to the real thing); replica watches of any designer brand (if you bargain well, you may even be able to snag a good deal - maybe at half the price!); bags of any kind, including travelling bags and suitcases; shoes of any kind; leather belts and wallets; even gemstones from travelling Nepalese traders; antiques, artefacts and paintings; beads for jewelry; music CDs and DVDs; and lots more.
Food, of course, is synonymous with Chinatown. Chinese food is the main fare and over here in Chinatown, the Chinese food served is authentic Chinese food some still operated by the original family who first started out here.
In line with the government plan to improve public transportation with the increasing population, work will start soon on the MRT project. Chinatown has been slated where the MRT line will pass through.
Three government-owned buildings, Plaza Warisan, UDA Ocean and Klang Bus Stand in Jalan Sultan, will be demolished to make way for the MY (Malaysia) Rapid Transit (MRT) station.
Hoardings, heavy duty scaffolding, strong propping and bracing will be set up to prevent dust and noise pollution. Covered walkways will also be built for pedestrians’ convenience.
The closing of the affected areas will only be from midnight to 5am and safety personnel will be on site at all times to monitor all activities and to safeguard road-users passing through the area.
The MRT project is expected to be completed by the end of 2016, so when the time comes, it will be easier and more convenient to drop by at Chinatown.
The authorities' plan is to transform Kuala Lumpur into a world-class city with an effective transport system to cater for the increasing population in the Klang Valley. The MRT will facilitate improved accessibility for all at the same time preserving heritage buildings in Jalan Sultan so that local and international tourists can enjoy the area’s unique charm. Welcome to Kuala Lumpur!

Redevelopment plan for Jalan Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur
When you visit Kuala Lumpur, besides Chinatown and other attractions in and around KL, one of the places you don't want to miss is the area around Jalan Masjid India. Jalan Masjid India is one of Kuala Lumpur’s earliest shopping districts famous for traditional Malay products but can get chaotic during festive seasons like Hari Raya and Deepavali.
The area is home to shopping centres and petty traders which make the area unique.
In the 1900s, traders came in small boats from Indonesia and docked at the confluence of Sungai Kelang and Sungai Gombak and set up trade in the area.
A redevelopment plan is in the pipeline to transform the area into a more happening spot in the city along the lines of London’s Oxford street. Details of the proposal include turning the inner roads into covered pedestrian walkways linking the malls and shops in the area.

Medical qualifying exam now available at 16 local varsities
Good news for overseas medical students..
KUCHING: Medical graduates from unrecognised universities overseas can now sit for the Medical Qualifying Examination (MQE) at all 16 medical schools in the country, including private universities.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said previously these graduates could only sit for the exam at three local universities - Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
"From now onwards they can sit for the exam in all medical schools in Malaysia. We have 16 medical schools offering 17 medical programmes.
“All students coming back from unrecognised universities overseas can sit for the exam in all these universities," he told reporters after holding a dialogue with several Sarawakian medical graduates who earned their degrees in China here on Tuesday.
The 16 universities are UM, UKM, USM, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Penang Medical College, International Medical University, AIMST University, Melaka-Manipal Medical College, Royal College of Medicine Perak, Monash University Sunway Campus, UCSI University, Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, and Management and Science University.
Liow also announced that the medical graduates could now take the exam an unlimited number of times.
"In the past it was limited to three times. Now they can sit for it unlimited times to make sure they pass," he said.
Medical graduates from unrecognised universities need to pass the MQE in order to start their housemanship and be registered as medical doctors in Malaysia.
In addition, Liow said the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) was currently in the process of recognising medical programmes in China.

KUCHING: Medical graduates from unrecognised universities overseas can now sit for the Medical Qualifying Examination (MQE) at all 16 medical schools in the country, including private universities.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said previously these graduates could only sit for the exam at three local universities - Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
"From now onwards they can sit for the exam in all medical schools in Malaysia. We have 16 medical schools offering 17 medical programmes.
“All students coming back from unrecognised universities overseas can sit for the exam in all these universities," he told reporters after holding a dialogue with several Sarawakian medical graduates who earned their degrees in China here on Tuesday.
The 16 universities are UM, UKM, USM, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Penang Medical College, International Medical University, AIMST University, Melaka-Manipal Medical College, Royal College of Medicine Perak, Monash University Sunway Campus, UCSI University, Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, and Management and Science University.
Liow also announced that the medical graduates could now take the exam an unlimited number of times.
"In the past it was limited to three times. Now they can sit for it unlimited times to make sure they pass," he said.
Medical graduates from unrecognised universities need to pass the MQE in order to start their housemanship and be registered as medical doctors in Malaysia.
In addition, Liow said the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) was currently in the process of recognising medical programmes in China.
He said MMC would focus on accrediting the 11 top universities in China first as many Malaysian students were studying there.
At present, MMC recognises 375 universities in over 30 countries, not including China.
