More Earth Shaking News : China Throws Money To Buy Top Scientific Talent !

Here is something else from China that is going to impact on all of us. Meaning we are all going to end up working for the Chinese, in one way or another. This news is very relevant. 

Sadly in Malaysia, few will appreciate this. 

China's million dollar funding packages to recruit top international science talent

China has launched a program of bonuses and funding to recruit top scientific talent

1. The "Thousand Talents Program" Scientists

(1) Long Term Talents: The employee shall receive a personal funding package of 1 million RMB (US$144,000) from the nation's central budget and 3 million RMB ((US$432,000) from CAS special talents funds.

(2) Short Term Talents: The employee shall receive a personal funding package of 0.5 million RMB from the nation's central budget.

(3) Young Talents: The employee shall receive a research funding package of 1 million to 3 million RMB, a personal funding package of 0.5 million RMB from the nation's central budget and 0.5 million RMB from CAS special talents funds.

(4) Foreign Experts: The employee shall receive a research funding package of 3 million to 5 million RMB and a personal funding package of 1 million RMB from the nation's central budget.

2. The "Hundred Talents Program" Scientists

(1) Academic Leaders (A-Class of the "Hundred Talents Program"):

CAS will allocate a funding package of 7 million RMB (a little of US$1 million) to the Academic Leaders and 1 million RMB to cover the infrastructure construction.

(2) Technological excellence (B-Class of the "Hundred Talents Program")

A technological Excellence will get the package of 1-2 million RMB and an infrastructure services funding of 0.6 million RMB from CAS.

(3) Young Talents (C-Class of the "Hundred Talents Program")

CAS will allocate a funding package of 0.8 million RMB for the Young Talents and after a period of time, the young talent will be reviewed and mit supported by auto recruited in the "Hundred Talent Program" with a funding package of 2 million RMB and an Infrastructure construction funding of 0.6 million RMB from CAS.

CIAC will also provide extra start-up funding, settling-in allowance and housing allowance for these employees. 

Chinese employer takes a cut of any patents or inventions — important markers in Beijing’s efforts to measure its progress. Employees can retain about 42.5% ownership of patents and inventions which is competitive with international standards.

China is and will continue to put hundreds of billions to buying key technology companies and making large investments in automation and robotics.

My comments : What happened to Talent Corpse? When are the Summer Sales starting in London?

Anyway, an RM2.0+ million funding package for Chinese scientists is a lot of money. And you can bet they will not be using these funds to invent 'Anti Hysteria Kits' or "Prayer Direction Finders".

These funds will most likely generate cutting edge technology products. The Chinese will create new wealth.   They will create legions of technopreneurs.  

China is now designing "super-cities" which are actually super regions with 300 million people within one "super-region'. 

Can you imagine how many pau they can sell within a 300 million mega-region? Or how many selfies can be taken with that long rod that holds the smart fone? 

We have to keep up with China, Singapore, Europe, the US. When I say "we" I dont mean the GLCs, the gomen or the elite groups.  I mean every single one of us Malaysians.  

Our people in the rural areas, on the estates, in Sabah, Sarawak, in our towns, cities - all of us. Tanpa mengira bangsa atau agama. 

As things stand now, many of us are already doing it.  Many others will not make it. They are actually regressing.  The danger is those who are regressing may pull down those who are progressing.    The other danger is those who are progressing will leave those who are regressing very far behind.   

1.5 Million Applied For 57,000 Civil Service Jobs !! - From the Blogs

What is happening in Malaysia, instead of having an expanding economy, stronger Ringgit and expanding job market, we are seeing a contraction and it is at breakneck speed. Soon we will be exporting out multi-talented Politicians from the ruling Party to test the overseas jobs markets. Maybe she is the first for our export of manpower

Bit no worries they are the same

1.5 Million Applied For 57,000 Civil Service Jobs !!

1.5 million applied to join civil service in 2016, 57k hired

57,686 hired on permanent and contract basis in civil service 2016

> 1.5 million applied to (SPA) to join civil service in 2016.

1.5 million applications

162,944 called for interviews

101,564 attended interviews 

57,686 appointed in public service.

Of 57,686 appointed, 25,046 permanent,  32,640 on contracts

applications to join public service rises every year

vacancies offered limited - 60,000 to 80,000 openings each year.

Each year nearly 1.5 million applications

200,000 diploma holders, graduates

So what happened to the 1.45 million who were unsuccessful?   Can they all become Uber or Grabcar drivers?  Are they all gainfully employed? 

Shouldnt it be a cause of great concern that 1.5 million people (5% of the population) feel that a Civil Service job should be the career of choice ? 

We need new jobs in manufacturing, in the services, in agriculture, in tourism, in the financial industry, in fishing, farming, imports and exports, trading, entrepot trade.

We need to abolish foolish restrictions and non competitive behaviours in our economy.

1.45 million people did not get a gomen job. What will they do? Remain in their part time jobs, selling 'kosmetik halal' for the girls or 'baucer diskaun' for restaurants and credit card companies for the boys ?

Here is a simple hint. To grow our agriculture for example, to create new jobs, new areas of agricultural growth etc let the people who know how to farm, cultivate, grow, plant and harvest food do what they do best. Do not obstruct them. 

Help them, regardless of race, religion or language. This way we will become a world power in agriculture in no time. They will know what to do. Then we train our young people to keep up with them, to work with them, to grow and learn with them. Win win situation.

If we train young people to be good and skilled workers, no employer in their right mind will NOT offer them a job. 

It is so easy.  I learnt this myself personally. I have taught this myself to other young people. It works.  

There is no excuse to be poor or to suffer hardship, year in and year out, generation after generation. 

How, my dear Shahrizat, will the Malays have any dignity left if you are in government? - From the Blogs

From around the Blogs - Steadyaku47

How, my dear Shahrizat, will the Malays have any dignity left if you are in government?

"Picking the opposition means selecting DAP to become the government... if we look at the DAP-led government in Penang...which spelled the end of the road and dignity of bumiputeras, specifically the Malays there," she said.

Shahrizat speaks of dignity for the Bumiputras, how my dear Shahrizat, will Malays have any dignity left if YOU are in government? 

This is the same Shahrizat whose family used many many millions of the rakyat money to buy condominiums and land in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and an expensive Mercedes

 for themselves. 

The same Shahrizat whose husband and children paid themselves many hundreds and thousands of ringgits monthly to manage a failed public funded cattle-rearing project.

The same Shahrizat whose husband has been charged for corruption in handling the RM250 million soft government loan meant to develop the cattle project. The money was  instead used to "develop" the living standards of himself and his family...who also happens, surprise surprise, to also be Shahrizat's family!

The same Shahrizat who had stepped down as a "responsible member of the cabinet" but who had also promptly accepted another appointment in the same government as advisor on women's affair to najib razak.

So this dignity that you speak of for the Bumiputra does not include what your family has done to Bumiputras? 

My dear Sharizat you have not grown old graciously. If you do not watch what you do in public and privately, you will find yourself in the likeness of the pig and the mule. The pig's greed you already have while the mule likeness becomes you with each passing day.

Do not worry about the dignity of the Malays. What you morons in umno do in the name of Malay dignity already burdens us Malays much too much each and every day.

Like the Attorney General and that tweet of an IGP, go lick najib's a**e for you all are beholden to that wife of rosmah for your daily bread. Go look for ways and means to address your greed and avarice...but do not think yourself as the guardian of Malay dignity. You do not even know or understand what dignity means....but let me tell you that it certainly does not mean you claiming not to know what your husband and children do with the millions belonging to the rakyat!

Menteri Kewangan II no Match for DAP Puchong and pity the Minister it was Lion he was tangling with

 Menteri Kewangan II no Match for DAP Puchong and pity the Minister it was Lion he was tangling with

Feel very sorry for the Minister as he got wallop by a superior being from a superior race. Yes I know how he felt and blame his parents for him to be born in an inferior race and not a superior race like Gobind’s. If he was born in the superior race, sure he can take it and whack back big time. It is all a dream for him

Golden Screen Cinemas announces the Disney movie will be screened on March 30.

PETALING JAYA: Disney’s Beauty and the Beast will finally be screened without any cuts whatsoever on March 30, Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC) has announced.

This comes days after Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed said the government was firm in its stand against allowing the screening of the film if Disney couldn’t meet the Film Censorship Board’s request for a minor cut involving a gay scene.

Nur Jazlan had said Malaysia had its own laws and culture that should be respected by Disney.

The live-action adaptation of the Disney classic was supposed to be screened in Malaysia on March 16, until Disney postponed the release of the film after authorities here made cuts to the film over a gay scene.

Disney said it would not show a censored version of the film and appealed to the home ministry to review its decision to cut the “gay moment” in the film.

“The moment you’ve been waiting for… Beauty and the Beast confirmed for 30 March without cuts!” GSC said in a Facebook post.

“Akhirnya (Finally) we still can #BeOurGuest! Woohoooo #NoCuts.”

Beauty and the Beast, featuring Harry Potter star Emma Watson, has raised hackles worldwide among religious groups angered by its depiction of Le Fou, the sycophantic sidekick to antagonist Gaston, as a gay man, making him Disney’s first-ever LGBT character.

Theft in Paradise - Kelantan admits leakage in sand mining dockets

Corruption or they call it leakage in PAS Shangri-La Kelantan. Why not use the direct word corruption or the honest word which is stealing. Stealing of sand can only be done if the Contractor , lorry drivers , enforcement officers, State mining officials and all who are involved it the theft of sand mining theft are agreeable. Are they willing to chop of their own people’s hands for stealing and if yes than there will be a lot of them in Kelantan PAS.

Power is a two edged sword and one is for bad and one is for good. All depends how one uses. Look at Kelantan not even an arrest by MACC because not that are no corruption and stealing by state civil servants and the political leadership but the Police and MACC as a Federal agency is used as a carrot and stick. For Kelantan this has helped to herd the present PAS leadership towards BN-UMNO. Nothing much to say about something which is rotten because whatever you say or do it smells the same a rotten smell

Kelantan admits leakage in sand mining dockets

State government expects revenue from sand mining to go up from RM600,000 in 2015 to RM4.8 million this year with stricter enforcement.

OTA BHARU: The Kelantan state government has admitted there were leakages in the collection of dockets from sand mining.

State Infrastructure, Utilities and Information Technology Committee chairman Hanifa Ahmad said the state government had intensified enforcement on the docket (a form for the production of minerals) collection and received support from the sand mining operators.

“For example, in 2015, our revenue was more than RM600,000.

“However, for the first two months of this year, after various serious enforcement actions being implemented, we collected RM800,000.

“With an average of RM400,000 a month, the government expects the docket collection for 2017 to be at RM4.8 million.

“The docket rate is at RM1.65 per tonne,” he told the Kelantan Legislative Assembly sitting at the Kota Darul Naim Complex here today.

He was replying to a question from Azami Mohd Nor (PAS-Kadok) who wanted to know about the leakages in the docket collection from sand mining activities in the state.

Earlier, Hanifa had replied to a question submitted by Md Alwi Che Ahmad (BN-Kok Lanas) who requested for a list of companies that succeeded in getting open tenders for sand mining in the state for 2017.

Meanwhile, outside the assembly, Alwi told reporters that PAS’ allegations that there were leakages at the federal level have now implicated things as well.

“Not only has Umno suffered leakages over the years, but now they (PAS) have leakages, too. This means that leakages occur everywhere.

“I have shown them where the leakages are, now the state government must rectify the problem,” he said.

Bravo - Johoreans hail Sultan Ibrahim’s affordable housing scheme

No wonder the Johor rakyat loves the Sultan as he is doing a lot for the rakyat. Sure if Sultan stands for election, he will win big for sure.

Can the PH governments in Penang and Selangor at least emulate what the sultan is doing in Johor? The rakyat in Penang and Selangor are hard hit with the increase in property prices and need help from the Government. Free up state land and sell to developers at reason price , so that the developer can build homes at reasonable priced PH to be Rakyat government as the Rakyat are also stakeholders of the the PH government as they are the ones who voted in the PH government in power. Please do not make the fatal mistake of been the masters of the rakyat as you were elected to be the servants to serve the Rakyat as you all promised. Come next election we may just change our votes to BN as they were corrupted yes but delivered on the basic services

Johoreans hail Sultan Ibrahim’s affordable housing scheme

 | March 22, 2017

People flocking back to state, eager for details of the project which will feature houses priced at below RM100,000 per unit, says report.

PETALING JAYA: Johor has become a hive of activity following an announcement by Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar yesterday of an affordable housing scheme in the state with home prices under RM100,000.

Yesterday, the Johor ruler unveiled the freehold project to mark his 59th birthday celebration which takes place tomorrow.

Sultan Ibrahim called the project a “gift” for his subjects, adding that he wanted them to become “a home-owning society”, The Star reported.

“I want this to be a first-of-its-kind housing scheme that is truly affordable, offering the cheapest and best quality houses to the people.

“Imagine owning a three-bedroom bungalow or a semi-detached house priced at below RM100,000 per unit,” he said in a statement.

Amid growing excitement over the project, The Star said today that many had taken leave to attend the soft launch of Phase One at the Galleria@Kotaraya Mall in Johor Baru, while those working in other states had also gone back for the event.

They told the daily they were impatient for details and thanked the Johor ruler for providing affordable housing as property prices there were skyrocketing.

“This is a really fantastic opportunity,” one Johorean was quoted as saying.

According to The Star, Sultan Ibrahim said the offer was open to all eligible Johoreans, and that successful applicants would only need to pay a deposit of RM1 for a full loan with an easy repayment scheme.

However, in the interest of fairness, the selection process for the houses would be stringent, the report quoted the Ruler as saying.

The project is said to be under the Sultan Ibrahim Foundation and in collaboration with Bank Rakyat. The ruler said a total of 1,840 homes would be built over several phases at Bandar Dato Onn, Bandar Baru Majidee and Jalan Yahya Awal.
