merdeka endurance race

31-Aug-1957.. it was a great day, the day when Tungku raised his hand and shouted "Merdeka".. the day when union jack was lowered and the Malaysian flag was raised at padang Selangor Club. and 49 years later, here we are as a Nation, seeks for balanced life, between the religion and cultural diversities, between commercial and social justice, between the old and y-generations, between family and career calls, between flight of imagination and reality...

what is obvious, we Malaysians need to continue to live in harmony in this glorious land of ours!

Bulan

Bulan yang beredar mengelilingi bumi hanya bersaiz satu per empat daripada bumi dan beredar mengelilingi bumi setiap 27.3 hari, pada jarak purata 384,400 kilometer di bawah tarikan graviti bumi. Bulan tidak mempunyai sumber cahaya dan cahaya bulan sebenarnya berasal daripada pantulan cahaya matahari. Bulan mempunyai 1/4 garispusat bumi bersamaan 3,476 kilometer dengan kekuatan graviti hanya 0.16 = (1/6) graviti bumi. Bulan dipercayai berasal daripada asteroid bersaiz Marikh yang menghentam bumi lalu berkecai. Teras asteroid itu terus menghentam bumi, tetapi lapisan luar asteroid terpelanting dan terperangkap dalam orbit mengelilingi bumi lalu membentuk bulan.
Ini berdasarkan isipadu bulan yang terlalu ringan berbanding isipadu bumi, iaitu hanya 0.012 berbanding jisim bumi. Di bulan tidak terdapat udara ataupun air, hanya banyak kawah yang terhasil di permukaan bulan disebabkan oleh hentaman komet. Ketiadaan udara dan air di bulan menyebabkan hakisan tidak berlaku dan ada di antara kawah di bulan yang berusia berjuta tahun dahulu dan masih utuh. Di antara kawah terbesar di bulan adalah Clavius bergaris pusat 230 kilometer dan sedalam 3.6 kilometer. Ketiadaan udara juga menyebabkan tiada bunyi kedengaran di bulan.

Pay Your Water Bill Mister

Day 2 (29 June): An ongoing dispute with nearest neighbour... Singapore has been dependent on Malaysia for nearly forty percent of its water supply, and water has been a source of dispute between the two countries. The water agreements were signed back in 1961 and 1962. The dispute is on pricing, the right to price revision, and the guarantee of supplies (after 2061). Johor (the Malaysian state where the supplies come from) is making losses by selling raw water to Singapore and buying back treated water from the republic.

Singapore is diversifying its water supplies, e.g. supplies from Indonesia and Newater (recycled water). Newater can be produced in sufficient quantities to replace water that Singapore is currently purchasing from Malaysia... Until then, do pay the water bill would ya!
