The well-known lawyer and a senior judge allegedly discussed appointments to the Bench in this telephone conversation.

 Dear All
DO NOT ANSWER CELL PHONES WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN!
Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being CHARGED!!
A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time a call came and he answered it with the instrument still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Cell phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death. Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

Pak Lah pet projects

COMMENT
By WONG SULONG

WHENEVER he has an opportunity ?be it with ordinary Malaysians, party supporters or newspaper editors ?Pak Lah loves to bring up two subjects close to his heart: the development of human capital and the modernisation of agriculture. 

 have spoken many times on these two subjects. Some people might think they are not important or boring, but they are crucial to Malaysia future,?he said. 

The Prime Minister confessed he was not into building reat monuments and glittering cities.?nbsp;

That was why he agreed to launch Mentalite 2006, a competition on how to make better use of the mind, organised by the Malaysia Mental Literacy Movement at the Kampar campus of Kolej Tunku Abdul Rahman two Sundays ago. He complimented Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Council chairman Tun Ling Liong Sik for his work in this field. 

he development of the mind is a critical part of the development of human capital,?he said. 

The Prime Minister said he was amazed at the demonstration by three young participants. One rattled off 32 numbers and two of them were able to repeat all 32 numerals. One was asked to recite the numbers backwards, and she did. The third participant was able to remember an entire deck of shuffled cards after examining the cards for 15 minutes. 

hese students are not geniuses. They are trained and all of us can be trained to make better use of our brain,?he said. 

But he stressed that knowledge was not everything. It how one uses the knowledge acquired. 

f not, a person can be very intelligent but be a thief who can open all kinds of locks,?he said. 

Pak Lah then touched on civilisations that had contributed to human greatness such as the Chinese, Greek, Roman and Islamic, and said Malaysians should seek knowledge from these sources. 

e must be a nation which does not only make use of technology developed by others but we must also be innovative and contribute to civilisations.?nbsp;

He outlined the qualities of the omplete?(the word is mine) Malaysian. 

The omplete?man must not only be someone with knowledge, but must have high moral values and lead a healthy life. Like the ancient Greeks, Pak Lah places a lot of emphasis on sports in character-building. 

t must be a combination of knowledge, a good mind and a healthy lifestyle. There is no point in being clever but we are sick,?he said. 

ith a strong mind, healthy body and being grounded in high moral values, the development of our country will be dynamic and we will be able to achieve developed nation status,?he said.
