Good to see many people chip in to donate to the cause. Guang Ming Daily has also set up an account for her, as well as her classmates and friends set up a blog site as well.

Michael Reyes has also leveraged on HOPE to carry out fund raising for Yen Kee, besides many who have helped to spread the words around.

Agnes Tan has also rallied among the Bukit Tabur hikers to offer hiking guide trips for those who donated to Yen Kee via Guang Ming Daily. You can get the info at here .

Rescuing Abandoned Dogs in Pulau Selat Kering

Thanks to Bin Wei for highlighting this to me. It is great that she is doing this for community, to help saving the 300 dogs that were abandoned by Pulau Ketam residents to Pulau Selat Kering.

Bin Wei was very discouraged by some remarks like "those are not human", "those are just dogs", "i am not rich as you" etc, when she asked people to support the initiatives. I would call upon those of you who support this initiative to learn your comment here, as a motivation for Bin Wei and others to keep on working on this issue.

For more info, go to MYCEN website or SPCA website .

Hope that you can help to create awareness or support to donate money/energy for the effort.

Donate to Yvonne Foong's Medical Cost

To all my blog readers, I would like to wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Time flies and 2008 is about to leave us.

In this festive season, I would like to call upon you to do a good deed. I just came across this from Kenny Sia's blog and he helped to highlight on a donation drive by Yvonne Foong to save her right eye.

Quoting it from her blog, which was posted on 17th December 2008:-
---
I had been feeling a little scared the past few days. I’m going to raise funds for Proton Therapy to save my eyesight. This is an advanced but rare form of radiosurgery, used to treat tumors involving delicate structures where slight mistake can cause irreversible damages. Since my left eye is blind, my ears deaf, we must save my right eye. But Proton Therapy is said to be very expensive. There are cheaper alternatives but not as accurate as this one. I was intimidated by the prospect of having to put myself out here again, raising funds for something most would consider a luxury, and get questioned again for my authenticity and as a moral person.
---

Yvonne Foong is diagnosed with NF2 tumours and her medical fees are very hefty. It would be great if some of you, my blog readers, could help Yvonne in any way you could. She has set up a trust to help her handle the donation. You can read about it here .

Some of the ways you could help:-
1. Donate. You can donate at here .
2. Blog about it and encourage others to donate.
3. Give her emotional support.
4. Any other ways that you could help!

Lets hope that Yvonne Foong could recover soon.

She has written a book too, "I'm not sick, just a bit unwell", and the proceed of that book would help her to cover her medical cost. You can get her book by going to Borders (Times Square), MPH, Popular etc. You can contact her too at yvonnefmn(at)gmail(dot)com . To see the book, go to here .

Hope that you can take proactive step to help!

To know more about Yvonne Foong and her condition, do read here . She was born in 1986, so she is just 22 years old, and unfortunately, she faced this situation.

I reproduced some of her medical situation here. Those were quoted from her link above.

Clinton's Lecture in Malaysia

Thanks to a fellow ReComer for providing me this opportunity to hear Bill Clinton's live today 6pm at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center.

Let me attempt to share as much as I can capture from the lecture, for the benefit of my blog readers! It is a waste that in the hall, there are so many empty seats. :(

Datuk Vinod Sekhar quoted his father, the late Tan Sri BC Sekhar, for saying that "the world as it is today cannot remain. We must have a paradigm shift". We should involve in world harmony. And he asked the audience on whether we involve ourselves, and he highlighted that Bill Clinton is a very suitable person to share with us, especially with his fantastic experience in challenging the world to dream.

He pointed out that Malaysia is a multi racial, multi cultural and multi colours country, and we have been able to thrive together, and it is very critical that we work together.

He hope that it would be ideal with the late Tan Sri BC Sekhar has the opportunity to meet Bill Clinton, but unfortunately he didn't.

Clinton went straight to the podium after Datuk Vinod Sekhar finished his introductory speech. So, the schedule was mixed up, as Clinton was originally supposed to receive his award first, before speaking.

Clinton started his speech by saying that he would be talking about how we suffer the world financial crisis. He apologized for being late, as his journey was delayed by traffic jam, after paying respect to Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister at Putrajaya.

He has just come from Hong Kong, after conducting the meeting of Clinton Global Initiatives there, and it has managed to raise hundreds of millions. They flew in a bunch of poor people from developing nation to join the event, and it is the first time, it is held outside of the United States.

He highlighted that Malaysia represent the hope of the world, where people of all religious background work together. He highlighted his visit to KL Bird Park earlier in the day, and he saw how a male peacock was friendly to 2 other birds. He pointed out of 2 friendly Muslim ladies who greeted him as well.

He is lucky to have the opportunities to serve US, and have visited about 100 countries since he left White House 8 years ago. He has been working on aids relief and educational issues and have been visiting remote villagers in Asia/Africa/Latin America, and these people are the hope of the world.

Today, we have global inter-dependence, and we have to deal with the failure of interdependence, and "divorce is not an option". We have to face the certain consequences that we have today, and most of those are negative now, example would be the negative disaster in Mumbai.

Palestine and Israel share a small piece of land, and that land is the birth place for 3 major religions around the world and how good it would be if both the nations can make peace. For Palestinians, there aren't many poor Palestinians around the world, except in their own home country. He quoted example of how they are being the main economic controller in Eucador, and in US, a number of them are millionaires or college professors. Bill Clinton highlighted that he does know a number of Palestinians.

And beyond the border, if we fail to resolve issues, we would continue to have problems. We need to see global poverty. Like in Ethiopia, most people live poorly. Out of 80 Million population, there are only 700 clinics and the Clinton initiative is trying to create 3,500 clinics there. Yet, in some of those remote areas, we see the people being very resourceful. They power their area by solar panels, and they design school buildings, where in the day, it would be the place, where students study, but at night, it is the place where the women work. And it would have like 4 lights, where 2 of the lights are compact fluorescent lights, which is bright and it is used for gathering and there are another 2 LED lights (which even Americans are not using), and these are highly concentrated lights and it is used for studying or working.

In poor countries, many of those people are working even harder than most of us, and they deserve to be part of this world, to enjoy what we get. The late BC Sekhar highlighted of the need for us to change the way we think. We were always told that we would be successful if we do better, eg: run faster, do it better, have better grades etc, but when we have a winner, we have a loser too. Perhaps, we can think of a way to change the definition of success, although it is easier said than done.

If you believe fundamental of life is global interdependence, then lets share with the world. Embrace anyone who share our values.

This financial crisis is caused by too much debt or leverage and it got spreaded around quickly. Clinton highlighted on the many right things that Malaysia has done during the financial crisis, and yet our growth rate is affected now, even though it is of no fault of us.

In Clinton's last year of presidency, the human genome project was started. And it was interesting that between 99.5% to 99.9% of our genome are the same, and what makes us all look so different is the 0.1% to 0.5% of genome. We have more similiarity than differences.

There is support of common humanities in all religious faith. He went on to cite some quotation of religions, which show that. For example, for buddhists, the only people who are truly human are those who feel the arrows that pierce the skin of others, even though they are not being pierced.

Once we accept the global inter-dependence, then we should look for a world that we share, and we will be in harmony of many great ways that we share. For example, now in California, there is no majority race, and by 2050, there is no majority race in US. And for US, we have just elected an Afro-American as the new President and the father of this president-elect was born in Africa. So, he is just first generation American.

For the past 16 years, US has been moving towards larger community and we have to go forward togehter. When we try to grow top-down, we would create more and more inequality. And no matter how powerful US is, there is no way that US can solve any global issues on its own. It needs the support of others. War for protection should be the last resort.

In WW2, Winston Churchill were constantly taunted by British media for defending US, and he said "US always does the right thing, after exhausting all the other alternatives.

Clinton does hope that US would be able to do better in the next 20 years.

What US have to do now?

While every country should order its own house, US should engineer a fast recovery of the economy, especially in the financial sector and restructure the credit. We can't fix US's problem, unless we stop the devaluation of the asset prices. US should be altering the amount of energy and the way we use energy, and the rest of the world should too. He hopes to see US pay more attention on climate change. No matter how tough the economy is, the developed nation should also invest more in the poor countries. He cited that he is impressed with Malaysia, for helping Sierra Leone.

He gave credits to Bill Gates for being full-time into charity, where he hope to give everyone in the world with the same chance as him to have some kind of life that he has. He hope to reach out to others. He is hopeful about creating future potential, by helping others in educating themselves. He hope for coordinated response for financial crisis too.

The world today is not sustainable. Half of the world is living below USD2 a day. 25% of people who die are due to diseases like aids or poverty-related diseases, including 80% of these people are children below 5 years old. These are all very innocent people.

Coals/Gas/Oil, all these resources were stored in the earth for millions of years, and now we are really utilizing them and we might finish off all these resources in years. And we need to make sure that Greenland does not melt, and it would not be sustainable if the Tibetan ice melts.

Today in China, there are 1.3 Billion population, with 130 Million in China are those migrants in the city. With economy turns bad, these people might not be able to make a living in the city, and if they were forced to go back to outskirts, they might not be able to sustain themselves. Some people do even sell blood using shared needles. Hong Kong, which is the biggest port, might be flooded, if those ice continues to melt.

Clinton then moved on to something controversial. He said that political conflict is good, where nobody is right all the time, and we need to have disagreement. He pointed out that he and his wife do have disagreements sometimes. Today, Barack Obama has a group of economists and they spend time argue over the right policy. However, if we turn back the clock to 15-20 years ago, Americans would not accept a bunch of economists who are arguing among themselves.

Clinton highlighted that he is impressed by Malaysians, where we respect faith and we see someone, we can look straight into their eyes.

Clinton also pointed out that Hillary's aide is a Muslim and her best friend is Jewish, and they can talk about each other's religion openly. We need to be able to share the future, and if we do, the world best days are ahead.

Above is Clinton's sharing, and then it is a video of the late Tan Sri BC Sekhar.

He pointed out that the strength of man is by how much responsibility he is holding. Tan Sri has played a huge part in moving the nation with credibility and ingenuity and he delivers through great people, and he was a scientist, administrator, philanthropist, innovator etc.

Bill Clinton is the first democratic president in 6 decades to be elected twice. He helped to make the longest period of economic expansion in the US and helped to create 22 Million jobs.

Clinton's Foundation helps to meet challenges in global initiatives. They help 1.4 Million people with AIDS and focused on climate change and sustainable growth too. He spent most of his work at Africa and Latin America.

In US, he hoped to help America to reduce the obesity of children. He was also the envoy to help the rebuilding efforts after tsunami. He was born on 19th August 1946 in Arkansas.

Tan Sri BC Sekhar has brought changes to the world and have the vision and make the vision a reality.

He quoted John Quincy Adams, "If your action inspires others, to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

It is great to see Bill Clinton tries to solve the planet's greatest problem and if there is a will, there is a way!

Would blog about the Q&A session later.

Hope that this sharing of this lecture would be beneficial to my readers.

The Star has a write-up too here

For full article by The Star, it is as follow:-
-----
PUTRAJAYA: Former United States President Bill Clinton met with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at Bangunan Perdana Putra here on Friday.
Clinton was in Kuala Lumpur to give a talk at the inaugural BC Sekhar Memorial Lecture on Friday.

During his address on Friday, Clinton said political conflict is a good thing whereby disagreements or discussions only promote thinking.

“I was told that there are political conflicts here. That is a good thing. Nobody is right all the time,” Clinton said in reference to the current political situation in Malaysia.

Clinton said just like when he was president of the United States, he would prefer a slightly negative press as opposed to a press that only sings praises of the administration.

“My wife Hilary and I also disagree on many issues but it is this disagreement that allows thinking. It is also healthy to have discussions,” he told a packed hall.

Clinton said he paid a courtesy visit to Abdullah, visited the KL Bird Park and did some shopping for souveniors for his wife and daughter.

Clinton had actually turned up half an hour late for the lecture, arriving at 6.30pm, instead of 6pm as scheduled. He however said it was due to the traffic that lengthened his journey from 35 minutes to 65 minutes.

“Given the current economic climate, having that much traffic indicates that your economy is doing just fine,” he said to laughter from the crowd.

On his visit to the bird park, Clinton said he had met two Muslim women who came up to greet him.

“It is this ability to respect people’s faith that I admire in Malaysia. If only everyone could look another person in their eye and welcome them to their common space, what a different world we would have.”

During the 40-minute lecture, Clinton touched on a vast array of topics ranging from climate change, health issues, global interdependence and empowering people to take control of their lives. He also related the many experiences he had gone through in the 100-odd countries he had visited since setting up the Clinton Global Inititive foundation.

Clinton said the current global economic crisis showed that it was now a fact that the people of the world were simply more interdependent than the entire human race has ever been.

“It shows that divorce is not an option. We’ve seen the negative aspects of the interdependency from terrorist attacks and the financial crisis but good things can also come out of it.”

In this context, Clinton said that the definition of success also had to change from comparing what one person had over another to a situation that ensured all parties benefited. He said it required people to embrace anyone who they shared common values with.

“We have no choice but to share the future. Since most of us care for the future of our children and grandchildren than ourselves, I’m sure we will make the right decision,” he said.

Later during a question and answer session, Clinton said the only way to balance the growth of developing countries at the expense of the environment was to make the business of environment a good business.

“Most cities have landfills. The organic waste could be compacted and used as biofuel and the tyres can be recycled.”

He said the problem was that people think profits could only be made in the way it is already being done rather than challenging the status quo to make profits in a different manner.
Clinton gave the example of how the business model for AIDS medication was changed from one of low volume, high profit margin and uncertain payment to one that is now of high volume, low profit margin and certain payment. He said this sort of paradigm shift could also be done in the environmental industry.

Organised by the Sekhar Foundation, the lecture was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and aired live on Astro Awani.

This is Clinton’s first trip to Malaysia. He will also receive the BC Sekhar Medal for Transformational Leadership which is handed out to world leaders who have an excellent record and have brought positive change to the lives of the people.

双福爱心义卖会--9月21日

以“圆聚欢喜心”为主题的双福7周年爱心义卖会的脚步已近！感谢许许多多关爱双福的朋友，用爱心化为行动，陪伴我们走过这七年里甘苦的岁月。因为您，双福从无到有，从职能培训，到积极开拓外展服务：居家就业以及居家手工授课，现在更把服务延伸到柔佛分会的居家探访、教学和个案就铺，许多被遗忘在一角的残障朋友因此而蒙福，他们慢慢地走出黑暗，接受职训，并开始拥有自信与尊严。

2. “圆聚欢喜心”爱心义卖会的宗旨是让大众的爱心与双福感恩的心欢喜团聚。同时，也是一个平台，让拥有煮食天份或糕点大师、游戏王、才艺天王等等大展身手，我们也荣幸邀请到“共享空间”专业舞蹈团作为我们的表演嘉宾，并为当天的活动精心策划一番。配合中秋佳节，我们特别会在现场进行一系列的节目，让公众能够饮水思源，纪念中秋的意义。我们希望藉着这次的活动汇聚社会大众的爱与支持，为残障朋友常年就业职能培训基金而筹募，所以设下RM 200,000.00为这次的筹募目标。

3. 双福7周年“圆聚欢喜心”爱心义卖会的时间及地点如下：

日期 ：9月21日(星期日)

时间 ：10am-3pm

地点 ：吉隆坡尊孔独中

4. 此外当天我们也非常荣幸的邀请到士布爹区国会议员YB郭素沁硕士在上午11时主持开幕仪式及见证颁发感谢状给所有赞助人。其他出席的爱心伙伴则有乌鲁冷岳兴安会馆妇女组和雪兰莪福建会馆妇女组、安邦狮子会、共享空间舞蹈团、尊孔独中、宝岛妇女联谊会、北区区部八打灵民政党及“新闻报报看”5位主播也将到场为我们打气。

5. 我们诚心邀请您带着一家大小参与我们的爱心义卖会。许多爱心的捐献者和商家们已为您预备琳琅满目的物品、食物以及多姿多彩的游戏和节目。当天将摆设的100个摊位及节目包括：台湾小吃及本地各籍贯美味小吃、素食食物、雪糕、各种健康饮料、糕点、包子、面包、手工艺品、二手货品、舞台表演、轮椅舞蹈、盲人按摩、青光眼检验；猜灯谜比赛、趣味游戏、体验游戏（可赢取丰富的奖品）等等。这个老少咸宜的义卖会肯定让大家乐而忘返，我们等着您来哦！

Looking for volunteers for World Vision's One Life Revolution

Looking for volunteers for World Vision's One Life Revolution (OLR)
-----
hi friends,

One Life Revolution reached over 10,000 lives !!

Due to the overwhelming response, One Life Revolution is embarking on our second leg to 5 more venues in the Klang Valley (2), Penang, Kuantan and Johor Bahru.

One Life Revolution (OLR) is a unique walk through experiential exhibit that's held in Malaysia for the 1st time. OLR lets people 'walk in the shoes' of others who have suffered the plight of social injustice. The life-size exhibit gives people the opportunity to have a direct encounter of someone else’s life as they struggle to cope with HIV/AIDS and living in harsh conditions prone to child trafficking.

OLR is basically a public awareness and advocacy campaign. The exhibit aims to raise awareness, among Malaysians, of the plight of children affected by HIV/AIDS and child trafficking. It is hoped that having 'walked in the shoes' of the children featured, visitors would develop a sense of compassion and be challenged to help those affected in various capacities.

Now we are once again seeking your kind assistance at our 1st venue as stated below:

Venue : Community Excel Services (CES), Dream Centre
2, Jalan 13/1, Seksyen 13, 46200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

a) Shift 1 = 10:00am - 4:00pm

Combat Epidemic Outbreak Fund-raising Campaign

This is a pleading of donation by China Synergy Programme for Outstanding Youth Alumni. It is a program that I got the opportunity to go in 2004.

-----
Dear CSPers,
Synergizing Out
Fight Against Epidemic with Earthquake-ravaged Sichuan

May 12 2:28pm - a moment that all Chinese will never forget. The devastating earthquake in Sichuan has taken over 60,000 lives. Over 200,000 people were injured and more than 80% of the buildings in some cities collapsed. For the past week, the earthquake scene touched our hearts. To show our borderless support, the CSP Alumni in Hong Kong launched the “Combat Epidemic Outbreak Fund-raising Campaign” to synergize our power again to help our fellow friends in Sichuan.

Polluted waters, cramped living conditions in temporary shelters and insufficient sanitary facilities are now seriously threatening the lives of those who just escaped from the earthquake. Without clean water and proper treatment of waste disposal, infectious disease outbreaks are likely to occur soon. According to Hong Kong’s infectious disease specialist, who came back from the quake-suffered area in Dujiangyan, some people there are already showing signs of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.

Restoration of good sanitation are vital for controlling any outbreak of communicable diseases. Therefore, we call for the support of all CSPers on our “Combat Epidemic Outbreak Fund-raising Campaign”. Every dollar you donate will be used to acquire supplies including chlorine disinfectant equipment, shelters, and mobile sanitation facilities.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all for your generous support in advance. We hope that through our donation, we can show them that our love and care for them goes beyond our respective borders.

Please also forward this email to your friends so that more people can support our campaign.

Yours sincerely,
China Synergy Programme for Outstanding Youth Association

Letter of Appeal – Draft 1Attachment

1:Zhou Peng, an CSP7 Alumni graduated from the Medical School of Sichuan University, is involved inthe rescue team at Huaxi Hospital in Sichuan. Below is the message he sent to the CSP students overthe past week.

Date: 13 May 2008 11:16:52 PM GMT+08:00All your caring messages touch my heart. There had been no mobile phone reception here inSichuan since yesterday and the connection has just resumed.I came back from the hospital at 6pm last night. I am still in fear every time I think about theearthquake last night. Most patients here are from nearby Chengdu. The patients fromquake-affected areas are still unreachable. Even though the first medical team we sent toWenchuan yesterday hasn’t come back, a second team, today, forged ahead and left for the city,without fear and regret.Rain is pouring all day today, just like yesterday the people here in Chengdu are mourning. Wehaven’t experienced such a disaster for almost 80 years!Tomorrow will be a better day!

Date: 14 May 2008 9:01:26 PM GMT+08:00Come back from DujiangyanToday I went to Dujianyan with the ambulance. I thought I was already psychologically prepared,however I was still shocked when I arrived. The earthquake flattened the entire city, with only a fewbuildings barely standing with gigantic cracks. Dead bodies are put on the road side. The schoolthat our rescue team went to found 100 students dead and only 5 children survived.

Date: 15 May 2008 12:29:19 AM GMT+08:00Come back from DujiangyanThe Huaxi Hospital I served at is the world’s biggest single block hospital with 5000 beds and is thesupport centre for the province for this disaster. We received patients that who were not able to getfurther treatment at the quake-affected zone. We have cleared all the beds in order to have morespace for the patients. We are now in immediate need for surgeons.

Date: 15 May 2008 12:35:50 AM GMT+08:00Support Arrived!The medical team from Zhongshan hospital arrived and brought us 35 anesthesiologists!

Date: 15 May 2008 12:48:22 AM GMT+08:00First group of injured from earthquake
Today, the air force transported 47 children to the hospital. Some of them have family contactinformation with them, meaning that their parents are still alive. Sadly though, most of the childrenare without family contact information and are believed to have been orphaned by theearthquake catastrophe. Upon arrival, 12 of them are affected by bacteria and their limbs had tobe removed. As all operation rooms are full, we can only do the operation along the stairways.

Date: 15 May 2008 1:08:30 AM GMT+08:00Our Spirits are with themJust want to send a text message to everyone during the break. Thanks so much for all yourencouragement. I feel that you are all besides me cheering me up. People around me showedunwavering determination during this battle. Though we are in need, we also help others. Our spiritsare with them. Thanks so much!

Date: 18 May 2008 11:13:43 PM GMT+08:00Psychological StatusThe psychological impact for the injured is increasing. More and more patients came to our hospital.Now, together with Sichuan Hospital we have more than 2000 patients, and the hemodialysisapparatuses runs 24-hour everyday. More importantly, now there are only a few hemodialysisapparatuses for children and it’s definitely insufficient.Dear folks please be assured that I am still fine. Just that the aftershocks every night disturbed mysleep and scare me a bit! Yesterday Ms. Leung gave a call to the CSP at Sichuan University and wereally appreciated it!The weather is very hot these days and today the trucks from Chengdu carried strong odors. Weexpect that we will have a tough war against the epidemic in the next few days!

Hope that my blog readers would be more than willing to show your sincere heart to help the needy ones!

Dear World Vision Donor/Sponsor,

Cyclone Nargis has wreaked major devastation on the Irrawaddy Delta region and Yangon city of Myanmar.
According to state news reports more than 22,000 people were killed and over 1 million have lost their homes. The cyclone is the deadliest natural disaster to hit Myanmar in recent history. The government has declared a state of emergency in five provinces, and has invited World Vision to assist in relief efforts.

World Vision is distributing relief items and has sent assessment teams to the worst hit areas.
For updates, please visit http://www.wvasiapacific.org/

To those who have responded, we thank you for your contributions.

Note: World Vision Malaysia's project in Myanmar was not affected as it is situated in the northern region.

亲爱的捐款者/助养人，

您或许已经听闻有关热带风暴"纳尔吉斯" 严重破坏缅甸的伊洛瓦底三角洲及首都仰光的新闻。

根据缅甸官方媒体报导，这场风灾夺走了22,000人的性命，造成逾一百万人流离失所。这场热带风暴是缅甸历史上最严重的天灾。缅甸军政府已宣布5个受重创的省份进入紧急状态，并邀请世界宣明会协助展开紧急救援工作。

目前世界宣明会已开始分派救援物资，也委派了考察团队到最严重的灾区进行调查。
欲知最新情报，请浏览http://www.wvasiapacific.org/

任何有心捐款支持世界宣明会在当地进行救援工作的善心人士,请击此处。谢谢。
我们非常感谢所有热心捐献者的回应。

备注：由于位置偏北，马来西亚世界宣明会在缅甸的社区发展计划并没有受到这次风暴的影响。
