Transport disasters: Blacklisted driver

KUALA LUMPUR: The driver who was driving the ill-fated bus, that skidded and overturned at KM38 Genting Sempah Friday night, killing seven and injuring 39 others, did not have a driving licence.

     In fact, he had held only a learner licence in 1997. After that, he was blacklisted, Kong told Sin Chew Daily on Saturday.

     “What makes me angry is that the bus operator had employed a driver without a licence.

     “This driver must be charged in court and his employer must take full responsibility,” he said, adding that the ministry had constantly advised public transport companies to ensure all drivers had valid licences, were in good health and a clean driving record.

Healthy Breakfast Tips

By K.M. LEW

Breakfast is important, not just as the first food of the day.  Studies have found that when you eat breakfast, you are less likely to be obese or develop diabetes, and that what you eat for breakfast influences your food choices all day.

When you skip breakfast, you are likely to become tired when your brain and body run low on fuel. By mid-morning, you might grab a cup of coffee or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time you are hungry, crabby, and perhaps your mood might make you a little more prone to make unhealthy choices at lunch.

So You Think You're Short?

By M.K. Lim,

There is no single person in this world that is satisfied with himself. Men are not satisfied with the size of their muscles. What more is there to say for ladies? Why do you think silicon was created?
   
      There are just things we cant change. If you’re fat, go on a diet. If you’re thin, eat more. But what if the things you’re not satisfied with cannot be changed no matter how hard you try? Try change from being short? Guy complaining not being tall enough, girls complaining being too short. Now, don’t you think it is better to just accept who  you are and get on with life? Life ain’t gonna get any better if you’re 5 cm taller or shorter.
But life sure is good for this man. Hei, he maybe once the shortest and smallest man on earth, but he sure made everything else in his life BIG.

That's just how you live oh
Take take take it all
But you never give,

From the first kiss had your eyes wide open,
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash,
You tossed it in the trash, you did. (more)

Health and Food for Thought

By K.M. LEW

     Are you feeling like you could use a little spring cleaning for your body? If so, how about looking at what you eat? For many people, eating is "just something you have to do everyday." This way of thinking can affect your diet in many ways.

     Most often, someone who only eats to satisfy their hunger may not consume a variety of foods, which are necessary to meet their nutrient needs. Over time, if your body does not receive the amounts of vitamins and minerals that it requires you may become deficient in certain nutrients.

How It All Started - Iker Casillas
