To my dear friends who are taking P1 next week, some tips to share with you all. I get this from a lecturer.
Open tuition has spotted the following for JUNE 2010 P1 ACCA paper
1. Something to do with External and Internal Actors – Student Accountant Article from August 2009 . Scenario involving chair who is also chief exec, too few neds, domination by one person and ineffective other board members. Role of Corporate Governance and critical commentary about why this company fails and how it could improve. 5 marks worth of definition about transparency and integrity
2. Report ( or memo ) requiring identification of business risks and recommendations of how to best manage those risks
3. Role, function and responsibilities of internal auditors and maybe a comparison with external auditors
4. Scenario question with some very questionable ethical activities – maybe incorporating problems for both directors and auditors
Which is quite reliable, given the fact that some of the article issues should be examined, I would advice a full coverage of all the articles
BPP has provided the following tips for JUNE 2010 P1 ACCA exam:
• Corporate Governance. Governance underpins the P1 syllabus so you can expect detailed questions on principles-based systems such as the UK Combined Code (2006). Make sure that you fully understand the role and responsibilities of directors (both executive and non executive), and how good governance structures help to reduce risk. Remember that you may need to discuss the various committees recommended as part of best practice, and the disclosures required by the Turnbull report.
• Risk Management. Typical risk management questions often require you to identify specific risks in a given scenario, and then suggest how the organisation might seek to respond to those risks. You may also need to give your opinion on the risks, so key models that are highly examinable are the risk mapping matrix and the ‘TARA’ response model.
• Control Systems. In order to respond to risks, organisations will implement a range of controls. You need to be able to suggest suitable controls in a given context, and show that you know the difference between the control environment and control procedures. Questions in internal control may also cover internal audit, as this is an integral part of both risk management and control.
• Ethics. Ethics questions invariably require candidates to related their opinions or ideas to key theories. Remember that personal ethics relate to how we behave or choose to behave, and key schools of thought include Deontology (duty) and Telelogy (Outcome). Kohlberg’s model of ethical development is highly examinable, and questions may ask you to recognise where a particular individual fits into the model. Professional ethics is concerned with following an ethical code of conduct, and questions may ask you to evaluate an accountant’s actions.
• Corporate Social Responsibility. Organisations have a wider duty to stakeholders. This area is always highly examinable, and questions frequently ask candidates to refer to the Gray Owen Adams model, when identifying how an organisation should choose to behave.
Good luck :)

you are what you love
Few days ago, i just said that i want to be wind so i can go to every place i like and i would like to be cloud so i can go to sky and beneath the world...Today i found this from my dear author.
有句話說：”you are what you eat ”， 人如其食，你吃什麼，你就像什麼。
那麼，是否也可以說：”you are what you love ”？
人如其愛。
你愛什麼，你就像什麼。
你愛的一切就像你。
你愛什麼，你就像什麼。我們所愛的一切，一花一木，都是自我的延伸，是內心的表徵。
你愛什麼人，你也就是什麼人，你會跟你所愛的人變得愈來愈像。你總不能說：「我愛他，但他不是我的品味。」
為什麼不愛別人，惟獨愛他？是際遇嗎？可這際遇是怎麼來的？是不是物以類聚？還是在茫茫人海中我們找到遺失了的另一半？我像他，他也像我，只是我們看起來也許完全不像。
有些愛會隨著時日與年紀改變，有些不會。無論我愛過誰，是對或錯，都是那時候的我，我無法否認。要是沒有學懂什麼，曾經的錯愛也就沒有任何意義。
一旦學懂了，才可以告訴自己，從今以後，要愛一個更好的我。
I love freedom, i like to do whatever i like........I don't like rules....I like principles........I want be a happy person........I wan to go..pls don't stop me from doing things which i would like to try and take risk..sorry......

Jay Chou: 说了再见
Phew! nice song! Jay Chou is back! This song is very touching, he did a great job. I like it so much..Let's enjoy! :)
天亮了 雨下了 你走了
清楚了 我爱的 遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡着了
想要放 放不掉 泪在飘
你看看 你看看不到
我假装过去不重要 却发现自己办不到
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌角 而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍着痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老 永恒往哪里找
再次拥抱一分一秒都好
天亮了 雨下了 你走了
清楚了 我爱的 遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡着了
想要放 放不掉 泪在飘
你看看 你看看 看不到
我假装过去不重要 却发现自己办不到
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌角 而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好
你的笑 你的好 脑海里 一直在绕
我的手 忘不了 你手的温度
心碎了一地 捡不回从前的心跳 伤心过去我无力逃跑
说再见 才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍着痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老 永恒往哪里找
再次拥抱一分一秒都好

歌曲《说了再见》收录在周杰伦第十张个人专辑《跨时代》。《说了再见》是传统的“周氏”情歌，曲风舒缓、委婉，很有周杰伦的味道。
周董于日前表示，《说了再见》将会是李连杰最新影片《海洋天堂》的主题曲。这样的新闻一出，直接的改变了对于这样一首歌的定位。从《海洋天堂》的本身剧情出发，父子情深的主题使的这一首歌由刚开始的情歌转换为一种亲情的不舍。如此的音乐很是配合于父子的主题。用说了再见来表现这样的情感，可以给人以多种的解读，不得不佩服一下写下如此好词的杰威乐员工。
周杰伦在为一款新电视产品代言活动上表示，今年没有拍戏工作，全身心投入到唱歌事业中。“不想让歌迷等太久”周杰伦如是说。距上一张专辑《魔杰座》已经一年多没有发片的周杰伦称新专辑将在5月推出，所有的录音工作已经完成，6月将举办演唱会。今年除了去年拍好的好莱坞电影《青蜂侠》周杰伦没有其他影视作品，也许是因为去年电影电视作品背了不少骂名的周杰伦又回到了老本行，“在音乐方面我还是比较自信的，我喜欢做第一的事。” 歌曲《说了再见》就是周董新专辑中的力作。周杰伦第十张个人专辑《跨时代》即将于5月中旬面世。

Bolehland - 17 A1's student failed 2nd yr university exam
Just for sharing purpose...
Many of u may have seen this one b4 but anyway it's good to refresh in our ageing memory & constantly remind ourselves what BOLEHLAND can do & produce....
This is what “Boleh-land” can produce, students with straight A’s for up to 17 subjects but fail at university 2nd year exams. If she ever gets to be a medical doctor, don’t know who wants to be her patients. No wonder my elder son was sent on a wild goose chase just for a simple leg ligament tear case! 3 doctors had a look at his X-ray but all could not or dare not give a correct diagnosis of his case. Only the doctor at the private hospital could give us the assurance.
17 A's student failed 2nd-year university exam
"The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become..."
The Failure of Nur Who Scored 17 A's!
I was really shocked and speechless to be informed about Nur Amalina Che Bakri.
Nur Amalina had held briefly the record of the most A's scored in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia . Upon the announcement of results of SPM 2004 on 26 March 2005, she received 17 1As - a record for number of A's received by a student in the history of Malaysian education back then. She was sponsored by Bank Negara Malaysia to study medicine in the United Kingdom , and did her A-levels at the Cheltenham Ladies College in the UK .
Now I am informed that she had failed her second year medical study at the University of Edinburgh . What went wrong?
Could English language be the problem? We are going back to Malay medium again and that means trouble.
Another article by Dr. Hsu
I was told that one of the girls with the most number of A's, 17 A1's, in SPM and who is currently on a scholarship in UK to study medicine failed in her second year examination.
While passing and failing examination is part and parcel of a student’s life, this case is particularly alarming, as this is supposed to be our cream of the cream. There may be other reasons why she failed , but this case typifies the trend of many of our so-called ‘top scholars’ failing in overseas universities.
I have mentioned before that among my daughter ’s year doing medicine in University of Auckland , there were many JPA's scholars (more than 10). Only one graduated with the class. The rest have failed along the way and have to repeat the year which they have failed. Some have failed one year, passed on second attempt and then failed again in another year. It is not uncommon to have someone who failed a few times along the way.
These scholars are supposed to represent the cream of our students, and yet they struggled to get through the course.
We must find out the reasons why so many of these scholars fail when they are supposed to be the our top students.
Granted that in an examination, even a good student can do badly sometimes, but to have a disproportional high failure rate among the so called top students is alarming and cannot be attributed to ‘luck’ or the lack of it. Compare this with those on their fathers’ scholarship, very few of the latter group failed.
Is it because our marking system is at fault? Is there any differential markings of papers? Is our education system at fault?
I think the time has come to have a thorough re-examination of the whole education as well as the examination system.
It really reflects badly on our country when scholarship holders fail in their examinations at an alarming rate.
P.S. When a scholarship holder fails and has to repeat a year, it would cost the Country a lot of money which can actually be used to finance more students for study. Scholarship holders also live a life of relative luxury, compared to self-financed students, and they normally stay in the best hostels and many of them have cars and so on… SO the whole system of awarding scholarship should be reviewed too…
If the students scores an exemplary number of distinctions (A's in Malaysia ) in a public exam, they are considered the pinnacle of what the Country's education system is capable of producing. They are expected to go through tertiary education anywhere in the world with flushing success. So what could possibly have happened if they fail abroad?
Malaysia 's education system has always been a laughing stock. Based purely on numeric superiority and mindless rote learning methods that even the British has long abandoned decades earlier, Malaysia continues to believe that the more A's the students attain, the better equipped they are. It doesn't matter how they get the A's so long as the aim is to get them and get as many in the process. So if the students were to labour over numerous past year exam papers in the library, memorise the answers and focus only on what the teacher 'suggests' are likely to come out for the exam, that's all right by everyone. The education system doesn't teach the students to UNDERSTAND the material. It doesn't encourage proactive teaching methods that encourage students to discover knowledge but to merely be taught.
When a student with 17 Distinctions fail in the real world, it is not a surprise. Perhaps it is to many Malaysians, but it's a system that is waiting to reward its students with spectacular failure when they leave the shores and compete overseas or when they enter the workforce. Many organisations in the private sector have continued to be horrified at the performance of such students during interviews. Communication skills are absent Standard ethics are absent. Common courtesy codes are absent. Presentation skills as well as personal grooming are absent What has the education system taught them?
If Malaysia continue to embark on the road of plain numeric superiority instead of to challenge the students to think, provoke them to create their own opinions and to communicate expressively, to eloquently define their standing in the world, there can never be an international leader in any field or industry emanating from Malaysia . It never produced one in the last 20 years. It never will for the next 100 years.
p/s: Pls don't waste our tax payer money! Malaysia is going to bankrupt.

世博开幕不及16天 大马馆弊端显现
世博会开幕不及16天，大马馆就出现多处弊端。
无法突出主题
参观了大马馆的董总主席叶新田和教总主席王超群说，大马馆算是颇有特色，但是在突出多元文化方面仍有不足之处，尤其强调着“一个大马”的大马馆，并没有充份展现大马华裔、印裔的特色。
尤其是在全世界的人都在为世博会主题：“城市，让生活更美好”提出对未来城市的向往理念时，我们的国家仍然停留在“血拼天堂”。
当新加坡馆在提出“城市交响曲”时，以水和花园作为未来城市的元素时，原本属大马美食强项的海南鸡饭成了新加坡馆的卖点。
附近的印尼馆，以“印尼生态化城市，多样化城市”作为主题，展示其生活方式、文化和经济增长。
以竹林和瀑布向世界展示城市人与自然、人与人的和谐共存，曾经七次下南洋的郑和雕像，也住进了印尼馆。
以米南加保牛角作为设计的大马馆，则鹤立鸡群，走“血拼”路线，卖的是鳄鱼皮制品、巧克力、ali cafe、不锈钢珠宝装饰、美容保健品、国家画廊的艺术品、纪念商品等。
展示的，是各族服装、F1的电视荧幕、人造的热带雨林、人造的双峰塔、槟城马六甲文化遗产的图片、人手雕刻品、峇迪布彩绘过程、燕窝、人造油棕树、皇家雪兰莪锡产品、一间室内家具设计、一只供旅游拍照的大猩猩洋娃娃、10对天然胶手套和两张按摩椅。
大马馆的主题是和谐生活，融洽马来西亚。
然而，真正的主题是什么？借用一个大马留学生的说话：大马馆像是购物广场。
舞蹈员不足
在开幕礼当天，大马馆呈现的各民族舞蹈让人留下深刻印象，那是让我国引以为傲的“民族舞蹈表演”。
当天，吸引了很多参观者的要求合照。
然而，在开幕礼之后却面对多方问题，尤其是少了笑容、多了倦容的舞蹈员。
指的不是舞蹈员的不尽责，而是原本已经准备了40多名舞蹈员，其中包括在上海生活的大马太太、留学生等，但是因为申请准证的疏忽，至今仍无法进入大马馆表演。
所以，只剩下几个从大马飞过去的舞蹈员，独撑大局，其中数名舞蹈员撑得边吃药边跳舞。
相比起附近的纽西兰馆呈现的“毛礼舞”，其古朴神秘的毛利舞蹈、粗犷高亢的唱诵祝福、象征彼此信任的碰鼻礼、舞台上数十人的热情欢愉和笑容，让现场人也随着起舞，借用张学友和郑中基的“一边是热情，一边是冷场”。
解说员素质差
已经开幕近16日的大马馆，严重缺乏的是解说板和解说员。
比较起其他展览馆的工作人员和解说员，我馆相对地缺乏自家子民。
据《光华日报》访问了一名不愿意透露名字的大马人，他说大马馆缺乏市场敏感度，因为访客大部份都是中国人，以中文为主。
然而大马馆却没有充足的中文咨询，同时解说员的素质也很有问题。
举个例子，大马馆分为上下层，楼上有一角落是专门摆设室内用具，将现代式的设计风展现人前，里头摆设的电子产品都是国内品牌。
Flaunt the new look with a Dell™ Inspiron™ 14R laptop!
从楼台设计摆设，到浴室方面的设计都很摩登。
问，为什么要展示浴室内的浴缸？一名中国志愿者答：这是为了要展示大马中上阶层人士的生活。
另外，在大马馆内有数名大马人现场示范雕刻和峇迪彩绘。
访问了一名中国参观者对于大马馆的看法，他说：很失望，因为本来想要来看马六甲和槟城这两个文化遗产区的详细介绍，结果只得几张照片几行字，也没有华裔解说员。
《光华日报》记者在馆内参观时亲眼见到一个笑话。
两名年约60岁的中国夫妻问现场的雕刻员有关雕刻的问题时，该雕刻员淡淡的抬头然后以英文回话。
现场马上出现了鸡同鸭讲的场面。不消20秒，该对夫妻就转头走人，然后抛下一句：“怎么这里都没有一个懂华文的人啊！”
资源短缺
在拜访大马馆长施月季的时候，她则坦诚在一些地方的确需要改进，而且还将弊端即时记录，她说希望讲问题提呈以后，能够有所改善。
馆长自己也承认，开幕礼当天的节目呈献不太理想，因为人力、财力和物力的考量，所以只得从中国当地请来舞狮助兴。
在开幕礼之后的数天，情况同样没有获得改善。
甚至，在魏家祥到访大马馆之际，还出现馆长施月季要求援助的请求。
当时，施月季要求华社协助安排二十四节令鼓和高桩舞蹈狮的表演。
大马“美”食?
当新加坡馆在展示海南鸡饭、印尼馆在热销黄饭的当儿，大马美食厅同样也有著名的“Nasi Lemak”、“鸡骨茶”和“拉茶”等。
唯，苍蝇也有很多只，因为少人光顾。坐在餐厅处的，大部份都是捧着可口可乐，因为在等人，所以先喝冷饮解渴。
别说外人，就连部长黄燕燕在开幕礼之后吃了大马馆的美食Nasi Lemak时也摇头。
魏家祥：大马人想时 中国人已走到
在马青总团长拿督魏家祥拜访复旦大学之际，一名大学生提出“大马馆没主题、像购物广场”的疑问时，引起小尴尬。
当时，一名在该大学念政治系的大马学生黄家俊说了一段话：大马人抱着狭窄的眼光看世界，当上海学生在谈论中美关系、台湾防卫的时候，大马留学生则在喝茶谈论谁谁谁的是非。
就国际之间的问题，也常常就马新、马泰之间的小课题争论不休，而非针对东南亚地区、亚洲、甚至是地球村提出有建设性的说话。
就连教育部副部长魏家祥自己也说，他参观世博会时，看到一个现象。
他说，中国人想得快也走得快，让大马人在想完的时候，中国人已经走到了……
副部长也举了一个排队论作为例子：在世博会看到很多人排队，也有很多人看到长龙就掉头走。
这就是等待机会和冲向机会的差别了。而大马人抱着的心态，就是等待机会。
马青观光团 半数人失望
随马青主办的“走，到上海世博看世界”的观光团到世博会看世界的团员，有170人。
其中，一半以上的人都对祖国感失望。
其中一名来自槟城的马华党员在离开世博会的时候说，对于大马馆失望和无奈。
失望，是因为凭马来西亚的能力，其实有很多人才和足够的能力物力将自家的优点展示世人眼前，然而却因为一些人为的因素而告失败。
无奈，是因为不敢说太多话，不敢向有关当局反映看法，因为担心受对付，所以只好把“爱之深、责之切”的无奈往心里吞。
I believe that whoever read newspaper will see this news. After reading it, only 1 word appeared in my mind - Disappointed! I wonder are the peoples still celebrating the by election or preparing the by election in Sibu until neglect a good chance to promote Malaysia to the world. If this incident persist, how we achieve our Vision 2020!
I love my country, I support Lee Chong Wei instead of Lin Dan! But i really hope that our beloved government don't ever hurt our heart anymore.
I'm not economist or analyst. I'm just a normal citizen who love this country. The following are my views only, not a professional view. I'm using JS and W PESTEL analyst to view our macro economic.
Political
Generally i personally feel that BN still powerful as there are cash rich compared with PKR. Due to this, i expect that Malaysia political point still strong and stable. (you know, i know, what the tactics been used to chinese school) Beside the educated urban people, most of the citizen still support them. I personally feel that PKR won't able to take over the government in the next election. I scare of ISA, so can't write more :p We not really have freedom on this issue.
Environment
Our beloved country has a strategic location with lots of natural resources eg palm oil, rubber, petroleum etc. The weather is good and free from earthquake, volcano etc.
Social
Basically, our citizens are educated and know lots of language. Basic command of English and Mandarin is an easy job to most peoples.
Technology
Our technology is not as good as US, Europe, Japan but we are improving.
Economical
Overall our unemployment rate still consider relatively low. Inflation rate is acceptable. Ringgit value is consider cheap.
Legal
I dare not to comment more on this issues too, scare of ISA for another time. Sensitive issue. If you follow the news of Raja Petra, you will know how sad story to him and his son who can swallow a blade in prison to commit suicide. Scary.. Wonder how he can get a blade, curious huh!
From the reason news showed that there are lots of foreign funds in Asia BUT our country is no longer attractive to them. WHY? Our country has lots of favourable factors compared with Singapore, Thailand etc. What's wrong to our country??
Back to the news above, actually our country has lots of things to promote, we have different types of people, different culture and background. Malaysia = shopping paradise? That's all? If they really think of this then i gonna be disagree. or me, a shopping paradise gonna be Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, some even say Jakarta is better than KL. So this still a selling point?? Since we already loss so much FDI, why not use this chance to promote Malaysia to the world? UMNO, MCA, MIC, please do something to win our vote in next election..Please...I hope that you can make us proud as Malaysian.
无法突出主题
参观了大马馆的董总主席叶新田和教总主席王超群说，大马馆算是颇有特色，但是在突出多元文化方面仍有不足之处，尤其强调着“一个大马”的大马馆，并没有充份展现大马华裔、印裔的特色。
尤其是在全世界的人都在为世博会主题：“城市，让生活更美好”提出对未来城市的向往理念时，我们的国家仍然停留在“血拼天堂”。
当新加坡馆在提出“城市交响曲”时，以水和花园作为未来城市的元素时，原本属大马美食强项的海南鸡饭成了新加坡馆的卖点。
附近的印尼馆，以“印尼生态化城市，多样化城市”作为主题，展示其生活方式、文化和经济增长。
以竹林和瀑布向世界展示城市人与自然、人与人的和谐共存，曾经七次下南洋的郑和雕像，也住进了印尼馆。
以米南加保牛角作为设计的大马馆，则鹤立鸡群，走“血拼”路线，卖的是鳄鱼皮制品、巧克力、ali cafe、不锈钢珠宝装饰、美容保健品、国家画廊的艺术品、纪念商品等。
展示的，是各族服装、F1的电视荧幕、人造的热带雨林、人造的双峰塔、槟城马六甲文化遗产的图片、人手雕刻品、峇迪布彩绘过程、燕窝、人造油棕树、皇家雪兰莪锡产品、一间室内家具设计、一只供旅游拍照的大猩猩洋娃娃、10对天然胶手套和两张按摩椅。
大马馆的主题是和谐生活，融洽马来西亚。
然而，真正的主题是什么？借用一个大马留学生的说话：大马馆像是购物广场。
舞蹈员不足
在开幕礼当天，大马馆呈现的各民族舞蹈让人留下深刻印象，那是让我国引以为傲的“民族舞蹈表演”。
当天，吸引了很多参观者的要求合照。
然而，在开幕礼之后却面对多方问题，尤其是少了笑容、多了倦容的舞蹈员。
指的不是舞蹈员的不尽责，而是原本已经准备了40多名舞蹈员，其中包括在上海生活的大马太太、留学生等，但是因为申请准证的疏忽，至今仍无法进入大马馆表演。
所以，只剩下几个从大马飞过去的舞蹈员，独撑大局，其中数名舞蹈员撑得边吃药边跳舞。
相比起附近的纽西兰馆呈现的“毛礼舞”，其古朴神秘的毛利舞蹈、粗犷高亢的唱诵祝福、象征彼此信任的碰鼻礼、舞台上数十人的热情欢愉和笑容，让现场人也随着起舞，借用张学友和郑中基的“一边是热情，一边是冷场”。
解说员素质差
已经开幕近16日的大马馆，严重缺乏的是解说板和解说员。
比较起其他展览馆的工作人员和解说员，我馆相对地缺乏自家子民。
据《光华日报》访问了一名不愿意透露名字的大马人，他说大马馆缺乏市场敏感度，因为访客大部份都是中国人，以中文为主。
然而大马馆却没有充足的中文咨询，同时解说员的素质也很有问题。
举个例子，大马馆分为上下层，楼上有一角落是专门摆设室内用具，将现代式的设计风展现人前，里头摆设的电子产品都是国内品牌。
Flaunt the new look with a Dell™ Inspiron™ 14R laptop!
从楼台设计摆设，到浴室方面的设计都很摩登。
问，为什么要展示浴室内的浴缸？一名中国志愿者答：这是为了要展示大马中上阶层人士的生活。
另外，在大马馆内有数名大马人现场示范雕刻和峇迪彩绘。
访问了一名中国参观者对于大马馆的看法，他说：很失望，因为本来想要来看马六甲和槟城这两个文化遗产区的详细介绍，结果只得几张照片几行字，也没有华裔解说员。
《光华日报》记者在馆内参观时亲眼见到一个笑话。
两名年约60岁的中国夫妻问现场的雕刻员有关雕刻的问题时，该雕刻员淡淡的抬头然后以英文回话。
现场马上出现了鸡同鸭讲的场面。不消20秒，该对夫妻就转头走人，然后抛下一句：“怎么这里都没有一个懂华文的人啊！”
资源短缺
在拜访大马馆长施月季的时候，她则坦诚在一些地方的确需要改进，而且还将弊端即时记录，她说希望讲问题提呈以后，能够有所改善。
馆长自己也承认，开幕礼当天的节目呈献不太理想，因为人力、财力和物力的考量，所以只得从中国当地请来舞狮助兴。
在开幕礼之后的数天，情况同样没有获得改善。
甚至，在魏家祥到访大马馆之际，还出现馆长施月季要求援助的请求。
当时，施月季要求华社协助安排二十四节令鼓和高桩舞蹈狮的表演。
大马“美”食?
当新加坡馆在展示海南鸡饭、印尼馆在热销黄饭的当儿，大马美食厅同样也有著名的“Nasi Lemak”、“鸡骨茶”和“拉茶”等。
唯，苍蝇也有很多只，因为少人光顾。坐在餐厅处的，大部份都是捧着可口可乐，因为在等人，所以先喝冷饮解渴。
别说外人，就连部长黄燕燕在开幕礼之后吃了大马馆的美食Nasi Lemak时也摇头。
魏家祥：大马人想时 中国人已走到
在马青总团长拿督魏家祥拜访复旦大学之际，一名大学生提出“大马馆没主题、像购物广场”的疑问时，引起小尴尬。
当时，一名在该大学念政治系的大马学生黄家俊说了一段话：大马人抱着狭窄的眼光看世界，当上海学生在谈论中美关系、台湾防卫的时候，大马留学生则在喝茶谈论谁谁谁的是非。
就国际之间的问题，也常常就马新、马泰之间的小课题争论不休，而非针对东南亚地区、亚洲、甚至是地球村提出有建设性的说话。
就连教育部副部长魏家祥自己也说，他参观世博会时，看到一个现象。
他说，中国人想得快也走得快，让大马人在想完的时候，中国人已经走到了……
副部长也举了一个排队论作为例子：在世博会看到很多人排队，也有很多人看到长龙就掉头走。
这就是等待机会和冲向机会的差别了。而大马人抱着的心态，就是等待机会。
马青观光团 半数人失望
随马青主办的“走，到上海世博看世界”的观光团到世博会看世界的团员，有170人。
其中，一半以上的人都对祖国感失望。
其中一名来自槟城的马华党员在离开世博会的时候说，对于大马馆失望和无奈。
失望，是因为凭马来西亚的能力，其实有很多人才和足够的能力物力将自家的优点展示世人眼前，然而却因为一些人为的因素而告失败。
无奈，是因为不敢说太多话，不敢向有关当局反映看法，因为担心受对付，所以只好把“爱之深、责之切”的无奈往心里吞。

在一起...
touching story from siu han.........
愛是不是等於每天思念你的次數？
是不是等於為你微笑的總和？
是不是把我為你流過的眼淚統統加起來？
是不是看看我能夠為你減去多少自私？
是不是用你帶給我的快樂除去你留給我的孤獨，看看還剩多少？
抑或，愛是在無數失望之後還有多渴望與你長相廝守？
誰又能為愛情下一個定義？
每個人的愛情，縱有許多相同，終究是不一樣的。
愛的方程式，不是算術的方程式，而是雙方、旅程、形式。 我和你，會用什麼形式一起走完這段人生客旅？是戀人？是夫妻？還是浮不上面的情人？
有一天，你驀然發現，愛只有一種形式，這種形式只有三個字，不是「我愛你」，不是「對不起」，而是「在一起」。
是跟你在一起的感覺勝過千言萬語 ，是覺得有個人在心中在身邊的踏實和幸福，那個人不是別人，只能是你，相顧微笑，伸手可及。那份親密超越了肉欲，比它更深入，伴隨著溫暖的震顫直搗靈魂，駐守在彼此心底最私密之地，相濡以沫。
