FIRST AID WORKSHOP FOR TOW TRUCK DRIVERS

FIRST AID WORKSHOP FOR TOW TRUCK DRIVERS
by PP Lim Chang Mee

Rotarians of The Rotary Club of Port Klang under the chairmanship of PP Kuah Leong Qui, organized a first aid workshop for tow truck drivers on 11 November, 2007. A total of 28 tow truck drivers and several Rotarians took part in the workshop.

The first aid workshop was conducted by members of the St. John Ambulans Malaysia. Our club’s involvement with St. John Ambulans Malaysia has gone back a long way. In 1996, when Rotarian R S Kumar was President, our club donated a RM$40,000 ambulance to St. John Ambulans Malaysia. Much of the fund was personally raised by President R S Kumar. In 1999, when Rotarian Ng Boon Su was President, our club conducted the first of such a workshop for tow truck drivers.

According to the Royal Malaysian Police, in 2006 there were 6287 fatalities in road accidents, 9253 people were seriously injured and 19,885 suffered from light injuries. Hence, it was a good idea to hold a first aid workshop for tow truck drivers since they are very often the first to be at the scenes of accidents. By having the knowledge to dispense first aid to the victims of accidents while waiting for paramedics to arrive, many lives can be saved.

The first aid workshop taught the tow truck drivers the necessary steps to be taken during an accident such as preventing the victim(s) from further danger, stopping the flow of blood, assisting the victim(s) to be more comfortable, as well as calling the ambulance. The tow truck drivers were also taught how to bandage the victims, the method of carrying the victims and in serious accidents, how to perform the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or CPR.

The course was conducted by Mr Athi Arasan who is the current State Training and Examination Officer of St. John Ambulans Malaysia and he was assisted by several members of the organization. The closing speech was made by Dato Dr Low Bin Tick, the Commander-in-Chief of St. John Ambulans Malaysia in the presence of Mr Bernard Yeo, its State Commander. Our Lady President, Rotarian Cheah Liyen gave away Certificates of Appreciation to the members of the St. John Ambulans Malaysia as well as Certificates of Attendance to the participating tow truck drivers. A first aid kit was also presented to each and everyone of the tow truck drivers with the hope and prayer that the kit will be used to save lives.

CLEAN WATER PROJECT, BAN LUANG VILLAGE, CHIANG MAI, THAILAND by Rotarian Lim Chang Mee

CLEAN WATER PROJECT, BAN LUANG VILLAGE, CHIANG MAI, THAILAND by Rotarian Lim Chang Mee

One of Rotary’s mission is to be able to provide clean drinking water to those who are badly in need of this precious resource. The opportunity came to the Rotarians of Port Klang when President Mongkon Saylaman of our sister club, The Rotary Club of Chang Puak Chiang Mai, Thailand proposed a joint project to construct three water reservoirs complete with water filtering systems which will benefit about 2000 people who lived in Ban Luang Village, a village situated about 40 km from Fang, Chiangrai Province, Northern Thailand. Ban Luan Village is one of the five villages located at the top of Doi Angkhang, a mountain range that is over 1,400 metres above sea level.

As the villagers of Ban Luang are living at the top of the mountain, maintaining water and sanitation is a major problem. Whilst rainfall can provide an adequate volume of water every year, there is no way of retaining the water as it drains under the soil and flows down to the bottom of the mountain. Furthermore, during the rainy season most of the water becomes yellowish brown because of soil or particle suspension, rendering the water undrinkable. Hence, there is an urgent need to build the reservoirs to save the water especially during the times when water becomes scarce.

With the traveling arrangements meticulously prepared by Rotarian Jerry and Rotarian John Low, seven Rotarians and eighteen family members led by President Cheah Liyen made their way to Ban Luang Village on 9 December 2007 and visited the sites where the reservoirs would be constructed. A sum of RM10,000 was contributed by our club to the Rotary Club of Chang Puak Chiang Mai in conjunction with this joint project. We hope the villagers of Ban Luang Village will soon be able to enjoy clean water supply for their daily needs throughout the year.

worse than the Melamine Milk Scandal 带毒的食物

worse than the Melamine Milk Scandal 带毒的食物

Greed ! Survival !! Lack of Control !! Or lack of knowledge by the mass population !
Recommend you bring your own Maggi Mee when traveling to China / HKG.
TOXIC Hairy Crabs, Eels, Turtles, Bean Sprouts, Farmed Fish - worse than the Melamine Milk Scandal
------------------------------------------------
比三鹿厲害100倍的大閘蟹 - (with English Translation)

Yale Professor Chan CM, in his lecture at Beida Univ about poisonous eels being sold in China and how widely the local eel farms are using hormones which remain in the human body sometimes for 7-8 yrs.

An Environmental Scientist whom he met at Suzhow told him "my relative who owns a bean sprouts farm said that because of the use of hormones, the sprouts normally take 5 days to be ready for sale are now ready in 1 day. Truckloads are sold to Canton and no one in his own village will eat the stuff they farmed. "

耶魯大學經濟學教授陳志武去年在北大演講時,談到毒黃鱔問題。他說,當年七月,他到蘇州參加會議時,一位科學院環境研究所知名學者對他說:“你們知道如今的黃鱔為什麼長得這麼快嗎?就是因為飼養者用了激素.人吃了黃鱔,激素在人體內七、八年還發揮作用。”聽到這話之後,嚇得那些與會學者們沒人再敢吃黃鱔了。

陳志武還說,“我有一個親戚是賣豆芽的,他說:這些豆芽不能吃.用了激素,本來要五天才能長大的豆芽只要一天就長好了。本村人都不買這種豆芽,都賣給廣州,一卡車一卡車,一夜就到了廣州的菜市場。”

Hairy Crabs : Mostly from Jiangsu. Each year, the crabs became more affordable due to large harvest. They are bred using all kinds of toxins : hormones, antibiotics. From the baby crabs stage, the crabs are fed around 10 types of chemicals. In Fujian, they are worse, they feed female crabs with birth control hormones so that the mother crab will be plumb and ready.

不僅黃鱔、豆芽,還有廣東、香港人最愛吃的大閘蟹,也是用激素餵養的。江蘇是中國盛產大閘蟹之地,有600多個蟹場。

香港廣東的大閘蟹,多是從江蘇運來的。香港《壹週刊》去年十月報導說,“香港人喜歡吃大閘蟹,蟹價越來越便宜,幾乎成為市民家常便菜。大閘蟹賣得愈便宜,市民吃得愈凶。”大閘蟹怎麼越賣越便宜,是大豐收嗎?

該刊記者專程到江蘇蟹場採訪,結果發現,那些大閘蟹都是用激素快速養成的。湖裏的大閘蟹一般至少兩年才能長到二兩以上,但江蘇養殖場的大閘蟹,使用激素之後,都是一年蟹,當年下苗,當年養成上市。《壹週刊》的記者把從江蘇蟹場買回來的螃蟹送到香港“標準及檢定中心”化驗發現,蟹肉裏不僅有激素,還有多種對人體有害的抗菌素。

江蘇使用“高科技”養蟹聞名的“大發水產養殖場”徐場長對香港記者說,“

從蟹苗到上市,至少要十種藥,例如:氯黴素、土黴素、乙醇、痢特靈、諾氟沙星、恩諾沙星、病毒靈、多西黴素、己烯雌等。”

他還說他們比較守本份,福建人更毒,在蟹產卵時喂避孕藥,這樣母蟹不會變瘦,蟹苗更容易長大。這蟹場負責人撈出兩隻蟹對記者说: 你看看,多凶,不吃藥哪有這麼凶!”記者問這麼做不是害人嗎?這位廠長直率说: “現在的魚類、家禽, 哪一樣不是餵藥物長大的!”你不這樣做,別人做,你還能做生意嗎?

24 hours after they were fetched, the crabs arrived at HK dinner table, but not before they were fed one last time with antibiotics so that they would stay healthy enroute.  If you walk along the small streets in the Crab Farms, you will see many shops selling "Medicine for Crabs". There are at least 10 different kinds on their "menu".

香港記者在江蘇蟹場看到,“工人將藥物攙入飼料,站在船上撒飼料,有如天女散花。”江蘇的大閘蟹,多數外銷香港、廣東,而且使用飛機運,當晚撈蟹,次日上午就運到香港、深圳,下午上市,晚上香港人就吃到了。徐廠長透露,為了防止運輸途中大閘蟹死亡,他們在捕蟹前再餵一次抗菌素。而24小時後,那些抗菌素就經蟹肉到了港人肚子裏。

香港記者說,在“大發養殖場”附近路上,隨處可見“蟹藥店”。他們進去一家,賣藥人拿出十多包不同的藥物,告訴記者用法:土黴素每百斤飼料攙500顆、痢特靈每百斤飼料攙8兩、乙醇每百斤飼料攙9兩……

Next Magazine Investigative Journalists took 12 Hairy Crabs for lab test. 11 of them have 土黴素. 6 have 氯黴素 All damaging to blood, and esp bad for pregnant women and foetuses.

《壹週刊》記者把從港九、新界、深圳、江蘇四個地方買回的12只大閘蟹,送去化驗,結果發現11個樣本有土黴素,6個樣本有氯黴素。土黴素屬“過時”抗菌素,因副作用太多,很少使用;而氯黴素屬香港違禁物質,因會壓抑骨髓功能,影響人體產生血球和血小板,導致貧血、抵抗力下降和凝血困難問題。孕婦吃了含有土黴素的毒蟹,胎兒的骨質會變灰、變脆。

香港記者在江蘇瞭解到,蟹場附近的女性,很多因吃了帶毒的大閘蟹而有流產症。在“大發蟹場”附近住的周紅梅說,“我生在水邊,吃水產長大,懷上三個孩子都流產了。後來醫生禁止我吃螃蟹,說裏面的藥物會對我不利,我照做了,才有了這個小寶寶。”

If they tell you their crabs are fed organically (versus Chemically Fed), that means they are fed by decomposing carcases of dead cats, dogs, chicken. The dogs died from

first being poisoned, or from diseases. The owner of the crab farm pulled from under a bed a dead carcass, deskin and dehaired it, waving a piece of the leg proudly pronouncing it as "organic feed" These dogs came from a private vendor that kills the dogs by poisonous gases. The dog died from chemical poisoning.

The investigative journalists from HK witnessed such display of "organic feeding" when the farmer tossed the dog carcass into the pond. They watched 2 crabs feeding on the decaying carcass.

除了使用激素、抗菌素,江蘇的蟹場還使用死貓、死狗、死家禽等餵養大閘蟹。

江蘇“新群蟹場”稱為“李叔”負責人的床下就放著兩隻未剝皮的死狗,還有一堆死雞鴨。他說,“一星期放一次,蟹特別喜歡吃爛肉!”香港記者看到蟹塘中浮著一隻剝了皮的死狗,兩隻大閘蟹爬在狗上進食。水面的狗血紅中帶紫,狗頭呲牙咧嘴,樣子很恐怖。但那位“李叔”卻很輕鬆地從他的床下拖出一隻死狗,剝去皮毛,拎著狗腿對記者得意說:“這是天然飼料,我的蟹營養豐富,從小吃肉,不像別人的蟹從小吃藥!”但這些狗都是走私團夥將路上的狗用劇毒氰化鉀毒死後,拿來出售的,本身就是毒狗。

The Fishery Dept showed that the most famous YC Lake for Hairy Crabs, at maximum can only produce 13,000 Class 1 Crabs. HK imported 13,000,000 crabs all claiming it's from YC Lake.

養蟹的人說,現在大閘蟹飼料有兩種:素和葷。吃素就是喂激素,以及土黴素、氯黴素,金黴素等抗菌素;吃葷就是往蟹塘裏扔死狗、死豬、死雞、死老鼠、死魚、死蝦,這叫“天然飼料”。

江蘇陽澄湖出產的大閘蟹最出名,但據水產部門統計,陽澄湖的一級大閘蟹,每年只產一萬三千隻。但去年香港人吃了一千三百萬隻螃蟹(平均每人吃兩隻),可見大部份是冒牌貨。江蘇淡水研究所工程師唐天德說,現在全中國除西藏外都說出售正宗陽澄湖大閘蟹,但八成以上是雜種蟹,是毒蟹。

Jiang Su natural water engineer Mr Tong said the the whole of China claims that the hairy crabs they sell are from YC Lake. The only exception being those sold in Tibet, a desert. Turtles, Snakes, are all fed by chemicals, as well as birth control hormones.

廣東人、香港人喜歡吃烏龜認為大補。但養殖戶用避孕藥替烏龜增肥,本來五、六年才長大的烏龜,現在一兩年就能上市。香港人和廣東人還喜歡吃蛇,據深圳《晶報》報導,蛇場為了使蛇在短期內份量加重也喂避孕藥。深圳、香港市面出售的蛇,體形肥肥大大的都是食藥蛇。

據廣州《南方週末》報導,中國每年生產700噸諾酮類(一種抗菌素),但其中有一半被蟹場、蛇場、烏龜場、黃鱔場等養殖業用掉;再加上其他種類的抗菌素,不知總數有多少噸,最後全部轉到了香港人、廣東人,以至各地中國人的肚子裏,不知慢性殺死了多少國人。誰知道薩斯病是不是這些毒藥經毒動物再轉化到人體後產生的呢?專家們不是說這種病毒以前只在動物體內產生過嗎。

Toxin fed Crabs, snakes, eels, turtles, all fed for revenue, not forgetting fake milk powder, fish from fish farms, bean sprouts, fake soya sauce, fake seaweeds, fake eggs ....... Color-enriched tomatoes, melon seeds, grapes...... all massive exploits to milk cash. Why is all that happening in China ?

First: Greed.
Second: Lack of govt control. The govt cannot keep up with the sudden market demand, as the surging middle class have a lot more cash nowadays.
3rd and most fundamental reason : This has led to the current problem of the maximization of profit at the cost of morality.
4th: The lack of Family Values (as kids growing up, the only value is how to make money). The daily mantra is "Study hard to ultimately get rich."

The adults feel that they have to make up for "lost" time when they were deprived under the Totalitarian regime when the govt kept what they harvested. While their bank accounts swell, they are morally bankrupt.

這些毒螃蟹、毒蛇、毒黃鱔、毒烏龜等,只是當今中國摻毒食品巨大冰山的一角。中國人突然有了發財的機會、又處於一個無法無天的 道德真空(既無宗教信仰,傳統倫理也全部淪喪)狀態下,不顧一切賺錢的欲念可誘發出人性中最冷漠、最惡毒、最瘋狂的部份。像往番茄、葡萄等水果上撒藥、塗色以增加鮮亮等,根本不足一提。在這種情況下,中國食品檢驗制度不完善,人為的漏洞比大閘蟹還多。香港記者曾在江蘇蟹場問徐場長,“國家有沒禁止或者化驗標準?”徐場長毫不忌諱地說,“笑話,你不瞭解國情吧!放藥多少上市測試也沒個准,他高興就放行,不高興,再乾淨也沒用!”

當年第一個吃螃蟹的人,被稱為最勇敢的人。但今天敢吃中國大閘蟹的人,才是世界上最勇敢的人。
