18,000 jobs on offer

Even as many worry about losing their jobs in the current economic climate, the Human Resources Ministry has declared that there are at least 18,000 jobs within the private sector available in the country.

The Ministry’s Labour Department director-general Datuk Ismail Abdul Rahim yesterday said the ministry would be holding a job fair at its Centre for Instructor and Advanced Skills Training in Jalan Petani, Section 19, Shah Alam, from 9am to 5pm this Saturday.

“Our priority is for those who have been retrenched due to the current economic slowdown and to find job placements for them. It will be managed by the ministry’s officials, with 20 employers
participating in the programme,” said Ismail.

He also reminded Malaysian workers retrenched in Singapore to register with the Labour Department’s offices nationwide so that the ministry could help them secure new jobs.

“To facilitate this process, those retrenched in the republic must register with our Operations Room (set up for retrenched workers since October last year) at any Labour Department office within the country so that we can assist them”.

Asked how many had registered with the department so far, he answered “none”. Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam had said in December last year that Malaysians laid off in Singapore could register for work at the department in Johor Baru but not many had signed up.

Some 300,000 Malaysians are said to be working in Singapore.

On another note, the minister maintained that retrenchment figures noted by employers up to middle of the year was in the region of 25,000 employees, with feedback coming from some 800 employers who had notified the Labour Department.

From October last year to Feb 20, those retrenched — or laid off from their jobs — stood at 21,699, of which 4,974 opted for voluntary separation schemes (VSS).

The others were terminated from employment.

There is also another scheme called “temporary lay-off”, whereby employees are laid off between one and two months but return.

This latter option is “encouraged by the ministry”, given that a firm’s business would have been affected by falling orders but the employees still remain on the payroll.

“Once the business picks up, the employees will resume work as usual with the employer,” said Ismail.

Adding that negotiations were sometimes needed between employers and employees for such schemes, he said: “Our records show 45,000 workers have been laid-off temporarily from last October to February. If this figure were to be added to 21,699 retrenched workers, then it is likely to be in the region of 67,000.

“To say 80,000-odd people had been terminated from their jobs in the country is not right.”
Malay Mail had reported on Jan 30 that the manufacturing, food and beverage and small business sectors accounted for the bulk of the 11,600 workers who had been retrenched since the end of October last year.

Some 18,000 employees had also opted for pay cuts, while 45,000 had been subjected to shorter working days in a week.

It was also reported then that the ministry was finalising mechanisms for those retrenched, offering retraining so that these individuals could be reemployed.

The training is facilitated by the ministry for free and is being implemented from this month onwards.

Row has authors debating freedom

By Mahmood Saberi, Senior Reporter Published: February 23, 2009, 23:47

Dubai: The controversy over a British author's book has hijacked the UAE's first international literature festival, but a positive outcome is that issues of censorship and cultural misconceptions will be debated in Dubai, the director of the festival said on Monday. "Geraldine Bedell was never invited and her book The Gulf Between Us has not been banned by the UAE," Isobel Abulhoul, director of the festival reiterated. She wondered why the controversy had surfaced now when she had rejected the publisher Penguin's bid last September to launch the book here in Dubai. Abulhoul hinted the controversy was created as a publicity stunt. One of the fallout's of this issue was that the celebrated Canadian author Margaret Atwood pulled out, but has reconfirmed her support for the festival, Abulhoul said in a statement. "We are naturally disappointed that Ms Atwood cannot now attend the Festival in person after the unfortunate chain of events over the past week, initiated by a series of misleading and incomplete press reports," she added. Atwood writing in the Guardian said she was misinformed, and goes on to say: "So what do I do now? Having leapt into this dog's breakfast, I have it all over my face. And Bedell or no Bedell, the question of censorship remains. Every country has some form of the not-permitted. In Canada, child pornography and hate literature are both illegal. What should not be permitted seems self-evident to those within a culture, though often bizaree to those outside it." The controversy erupted after a Times article which purported that Bedell's book was banned by the UAE and censored because of a character who is gay. Abulhoul wondered why the article was taken as gospel and why nobody checked the facts.

Sufiah's story

Sufiah's story

By Halimahton Yusof

• Update: I'm delighted to say that, as reported in the Harian Metro newspaper, Sufiah has now expressed regret for her previous actions and is now undertaking charity work in London instead
• This story is about my daughter Sufiah, her upbringing, and why her life has turned out the way it has
• This is the only place to get the facts about Sufiah and our family
• The recent media coverage has been largely wrong or misleading
• This story isn't about the way Sufiah was taught; my book describes in detail the way I taught Sufiah and my other children

Sufiah in Malaysia

Following the recent stories in the media about my daughter Sufiah, many people have asked us why she has chosen the path she is currently on, and in spite of her considerable talents. Much of what has been printed in the media is simply wrong — there have been many ridiculous and untrue claims such as us not attending her wedding and our old house being kept cold on purpose!

As Sufiah's mother and as a woman who has known and cared for her since the day she was born, I'd like to tell the story of her life as far as I know it. While I can only speculate like everyone else as to why she is now doing what she is doing, I hope that this will give you an idea about what Sufiah was like as a person.

I also hope that other people — especially parents — can learn something from this story, so that they can avoid making the same mistakes.

Overview

Early years (read more)

• Sufiah was just one of five wonderful children, all of whom grew up to be extremely capable
• Sufiah was a very good, well-behaved child, although people sometimes perceived her as being softer than my other children
• Life was difficult in the early years; we had little money or support as we were in a foreign country
• My (now ex-) husband Farooq was not around during these years, and I was practically a single mother
• Our family was very close-knit in the early years, as we all had to work together and support one another
• I tried to give my children a good upbringing, so that they would be able to face the challenges ahead of them

Sufiah, Iskander, Aisha, and Abraham

School (read more)

• Sufiah and my other children did not want to stay at school, as they were already so far ahead that the school did not cater to their needs
• While my children preferred to learn from me at home, I was very hesitant as I knew it would be difficult and I did not have many resources
• Eventually, however, I reluctantly agreed to continue teaching my children at home
• Things seemed to work out well in spite of our difficult circumstances, and my children ended up being many years ahead of their peers

Excerpts from Sufiah's letters to Farooq (before Farooq returned)

Things changed (read more)

• Things changed when my (now ex-) husband Farooq came back to the family
• Initially, everyone was happy when Farooq returned
• But then he insisted that he take over Sufiah and my other children's upbringing, and my kids did not like the change
• Farooq was insensitive and aggressive, and often made the atmosphere at home very tense and oppressive for my children and me
• Farooq had little respect for my opinions or anything I did with the children
• I did not have the strength or means to contend with Farooq, so I tried to compromise by encouraging him to change his ways — but he usually just dismissed anything I said
• I also feared what would happen to my children and me if I tried to leave Farooq
• Occasionally Farooq would promise to change for the better, but he invariably forgot his promise and went back to his old ways within a few months
• Sufiah never said much about her father's behaviour, but she must have bottled up her emotions inside
• Farooq's actions also took a toll on my health and self-esteem
• Farooq focused obsessively on my children's tennis, but because they were already so far ahead academically this had little impact on their studies
• At this point my kids were still doing well in their studies and in tennis, but they were not as happy and Farooq's behaviour was slowly draining their abilities

Sufiah gets accepted to Oxford (read more)

• The focus switched from tennis to exams after a while, and Sufiah was accepted to Oxford University at age 12
• Because of this and the other family achievements, we received a lot of attention from the media
• While I was happy for Sufiah, I worried that she might be too young for university life and that being in the media spotlight might put her under too much pressure
• I voiced my concerns but again was largely ignored
• The Oxford offer was accepted naively and without much thought

Sufiah's time at Oxford (read more)

• Sufiah and her father were initially delighted at Sufiah's acceptance to Oxford
• But for several reasons Sufiah began to greatly resent Farooq
• There were many other pressures on Sufiah, and her time at Oxford grew increasingly stressful
• Shortly after Sufiah entered Oxford, Aisha and Iskander were accepted to Warwick University
• Because Iskander was only 12 at the time, I had to stay in Warwick while Farooq spent more time with Sufiah
• Thus Sufiah's siblings and I could not be at Oxford to give her company
• Sufiah seemed to be happy when she was in the company of my other children and me (during the holidays)
• But I believe Farooq was very overbearing whenever he was with Sufiah
• Like me, Sufiah must have felt powerless to change things

Sufiah runs away (read more)

• Eventually, the situation grew to be too much for Sufiah and she ran away from Oxford at age 15
• Sufiah later told us that Farooq's behaviour towards the rest of our family was the reason she left, though it might have been compounded by the stress of being the youngest person at Oxford with the attendant media hype
• But Farooq blamed everyone but himself for Sufiah's running away
• Sufiah was found in Bournemouth a few weeks later, and I was just relieved to hear that she was safe and well
• While Sufiah was happy to see my other children and me, she (unsurprisingly) refused to see her father

Reconciliation (read more)

• Although Sufiah was living in Bournemouth and away from the family, my children and I visited her regularly
• Sufiah returned to Oxford after a few years and told us that she wanted to get married
• Relations slowly began to improve, and this was the start of our reconciliation
• Sufiah was even willing to make peace with Farooq
• I was very happy to see that our family seemed to be getting back together again
• Even Farooq appeared to have changed for the better, perhaps because most of my children were now adults

Sufiah leaves again (read more)

• The relationship between Sufiah and her father was still fragile, although it seemed to be improving
• Farooq apologised to Sufiah for his previous actions and they hugged and made up
• But Farooq soon forgot about his apology, and just a few weeks afterwards he verbally attacked Sufiah again
• This was the final straw for Sufiah, and she immediately left
• Everything went downhill for Sufiah after this final incident; she told us shortly afterwards that she was getting a divorce and did not want the family to contact her again
• Because Sufiah was already an adult, we had to respect her wishes and heard nothing from or about her for four years — until we received the news that she had become an escort

Final thoughts (read more)

• In the time since Sufiah left, Farooq's behaviour went from bad to worse and I had no choice but to divorce him
• My biggest mistake was probably that I didn't leave Farooq earlier, but it was an incredibly difficult decision to make when my kids were still young — I was afraid of what the consequences would be for my children
• When Farooq was not present, our family was happy and we were very close
• I do not want to speculate as to why Sufiah became an escort, as I don't know what might have happened in the four years since we last saw her
• Sufiah and Farooq aside, our family is still strong; we need to learn from the past mistakes and move on
• I still hope that Sufiah will come around one day, but we have to be patient and cannot force the issue

Genius like Sufiah in 28 STEPS

Extraordinary results, ordinary children

Have you ever wondered how some children are able to achieve extraordinary results at an early age?

How can children fluently read and write before age three, do algebra at five, or play Mozart by six?

Over the years, thousands of people have asked us how it's possible to get children to achieve at a remarkably high level. My experience has shown that any ordinary child can achieve these things — but this is only possible if the child's potential is nurtured in the right way.

The techniques I use are simple enough that anyone can use them, and yet they are extremely effective. And now your own children can also benefit from these techniques.

In my digital book, Genius in 28 Steps, I have refined and distilled my teaching methods into 28 key principles. Everything I know about teaching children to excel is contained within the pages of Genius in 28 Steps, and I hope that you can use this book to help your children fulfil their true potential.

But you might have more modest goals for your child — not everyone wants to raise a genius! This is why I've designed the book so that it is useful for everyone, even if you are a busy working parent and cannot afford to spend much time with your children.

Whether you want to help your child enjoy reading and learning generally, want to improve his or her attention span or level of independence, or are just a new mother who wants to give her baby the best possible education, Genius in 28 Steps has the answers for you.

The cold, hard, truth about finding a job during downturn

The cold, hard, truth about finding a job
Abridged: Science Careers

NEW YORK, NY -- Even when the job market is robust, a job-search strategy won't work if you're not using your time effectively. One day, my client list contained many companies interviewing for open positions at all levels; a few weeks later, the same companies put those positions on hold or had moved into layoffs. The speed and intensity of this economic meltdown hit us all by surprise. Times are tough! Still, there are jobs out there--jobs that someone is going to land.

In this unforgiving job market, you can't flounder. This is the year to organize and implement the perfect process for your job search. Consider these items as you plan your 2009 job search strategy. You must plan on a truly significant effort. If you aren't spending 2 hours a day on your search, you're unlikely to get any kind of traction at all. You need to search for jobs using all means possible--anything that is relevant to your situation.

For example: responding to journal ads, headhunters, or online job postings; attending job fairs; networking and informational interviewing. Gone are the days of using only one of these channels and succeeding. You can't count on 100 Internet job applications or on networking alone. You've got to have ALL the bases covered. This year, you will need to invest not only time but also money in your job search. You'll put in three times as much effort this year than you did during your last job search but you still have every chance to succeed.

Think twice before picking up that BlackBerry
Abridged: Associated Press

BOSTON, MA -- If there's any small solace when starting a job search in this recession, it's the proliferation of digital technology to help you re-enter the working world. Websites like Indeed.com and LinkedIn.com have multiplied the number of job openings you can track and the professional contacts you can make. E-mail and smart phones make it easier to pitch yourself and set up appointments.

But think twice before picking up that BlackBerry and thumb-typing a message to the hiring manager whose e-mail address you so slyly uncovered online. In the end, landing the right job hinges on old-world skills. "The electronic piece might get your foot in the door," said Dave Willmer, an executive director of Robert Half Technology, a tech industry recruiting and staffing division for Robert Half International.

"But you still have to present yourself well face-to-face in an interview to beat the competition, and you have to have good references," Wilmer said. "I think some job candidates lose sight of that because of all the technology options and capabilities that get your name out there." Job seekers - especially the young and tech-savvy -frequently misuse electronic gadgets and the Web and run roughshod over professional etiquette.

Maintaining a positive attitude is critical
Abridged: CareerTrax

SEDONA, AZ -- Your mental outlook--the most critical element in the 2009 job search--will either keep you open for new opportunities or close your mind and seal your fate. It's really easy to be negative about things this year. In fact, some experts believe that the economic downturn would be much less severe if there wasn't such a negative view promulgated by the media.

So, knowing it's a lousy job market out there, what facts can you keep in mind that can help you have positive expectations for your job search? First of all, remember that all recessions have a beginning, a middle, and an end. So do job searches. Very few qualified people engage in a job search without achieving their goals, or some satisfactory equivalent of those goals.

Your new job is out there, even in 2009. Grumble about the economy all you want, but when it comes to the job search, start digging and don't stop until you've got what you were looking for! A positive attitude and outlook can help increase your chances of landing a new job over the competition.

Get the job first, before your competition
Staff Writer, The Career News

LOS ANGELES, CA -- To land a job over the competition, you have to work smarter. The hard part is to get your resume into the hands of the hiring manager first! Good jobs aren't on the market very long. To succeed your resume has to be available to the employer the moment they decide to fill a position.

One easy way to be found by employers who are looking to hire someone with your skills, is to post your resume on all the top career websites. As soon as an employer needs someone, this is the first place they look. It's a proven, documented method of successful job searching. While it may take a fair amount of time to find and fill out the forms of all these websites, you will definitely multiply your chances of landing a job.

If you want all the benefits without all the work, you can let a service like Resume Rabbit do it for you. You fill out one simple form and they'll instantly post your resume on up to 85 career websites like Monster, Job.com, CareerBuilder, Net-Temps, Dice and more. Then you'll be seen by over 1.5 million employers & recruiters daily. It takes only 5 minutes to complete, and saves you 60 hours of research and data entry.

A wise investment during tough times
Abridged: Pfeiffer

DURHAM, NC -- Ask anyone and they'll tell you flat out that the economy stinks! It's tougher to find a job, it's tougher to keep a job. And with all of the economic stress right now, education is probably not on the top of your priority list. Maybe you've wanted to go back to school and obtain a Master's degree in Business Administration or Education for a long time, but now with the economy the way it is you have ruled these options out all together.

I understand that thinking, but I want to challenge it! I want to suggest that this is the PERFECT time to go back to school to further your education and acquire new skills. You don't have to stop working either. There are many accredited Universities that offer flexible class schedules at convenient campus locations and online courses. This option is one of the key factors that can set you apart from the rest. This way you don't have to stop earning money while you also invest in your future.

Going back to school is a wise investment! Once you have obtained your Master's degree or certification, it's with you forever. Every time you go into a job interview, you will have an immediate advantage. With a tough economy and a competitive job market, it can improve your chances of landing a great job, keeping a great job, and also increases your pay-scale.

Online universities offer convenience and higher pay
Staff Writer, The Career News

NEW YORK, NY -- If you think that the only way to earn a degree is to spend gobs of money and traverse across a complicated college campus, taking anywhere from two to eight years to get your Associate's, Bachelor's or Master's or even doctorate degree...think again. With advances in technology, you can now get your degree online, from an accredited university in your spare time and from the comfort of your own home.

Jennifer Day, Chief of the Education and Social Stratification Branch at the U.S. Census Bureau says, "In 1999, average annual earnings ranged from $19,000 for high school dropouts, to $26,000 for high school graduates, and $45,000 for college graduates and $99,000 for the holders of professional degrees. That includes medical doctors, dentists, veterinarians and lawyers.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau the difference in lifetime earnings between a high school diploma and bachelor's degree is a million dollars. Add on a master's degree and you can expect to earn an additional half a million dollars in earnings. Those with professional degrees earn much more - about 4.4 million dollars during their working life. To learn more about available schools & programs, and instantly request complimentary course catalogs of the ones you like, go to Find-The-Right-School.

Is your resume too good?
Abridged: The Charlotte Observer

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Faced with the cruelest job market in years, some unemployed professionals are lowering their standards for the jobs they're seeking - and even toning down their resumes to avoid seeming overqualified. To try to land interviews, they're mum about master's degrees they've earned and omitting lofty-sounding executive titles. Still others have left out everything from salary histories to the years they graduated to appear more attractive to employers.

Experts say it's a sign of growing desperation in a tough economy. In the current market, job openings are scarce. Some employers are turning away overqualified candidates, worrying they can't afford them, or that the new hires will be dissatisfied and move on quickly. Anybody who's been out of work for a long period of time begins looking for the , "what can I do to survive" job?

It's hard to say whether leaving information off a resume is unethical. Generally, recruiters say it's smart to tailor your resume to different positions and play up the strengths that would be a good match. Omitting details is not considered as serious as inventing qualifications you don't have. Some job seekers still hold out for a job that fits. They simply don't want to settle. But for others, settling has become the only option.

Easily crank out an amazing new resume
The Career News

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Many job seekers get "stuck in the mud" because they don't realize that truly amazing resumes aren't really resumes at all. Instead, they're artfully crafted, interesting and engaging sales letters, disguised as resumes. Most people think of a resume as a sort of "biography" that will be reviewed in an interview. When in fact, your resume often represents your one and only opportunity to stand out from the crowd, grab attention and get a job interview.

Fortunately for you, most resumes and cover letters do nothing to stand out and grab the attention of the employer. Actually very few people know how to create that special attention-grabbing, personal element that gets your "foot in the company door." This creates more opportunities for the candidates who do have artfully crafted resumes - designed to sell employers on scheduling interviews.

Wouldn't it be great if you could just point, click, and presto... out pops an amazing resume, 100% customized for you, complete with great sales language? Now you can with The Amazing Resume Creator. In just 10 minutes flat, you'll easily crank out an amazing resume, guaranteed to have your telephone ringing off the hook with job interviews -- without writing a single word.

Facebook rules can ruin your privacy! Malaysiakini

Earlier this month, Facebook deleted a provision from its terms of service that said users could remove their content at any time, and added new language that said it would retain users’ content after an account was terminated. Waves of protests from users ensued. On Wednesday, Facebook, trying to quell anger among its tens of millions of users, reversed its new policy.
Why the privacy backlash from those who happily plaster their pages with personal information? What do social networking sites like Facebook owe their users?

Timothy B. Lee, Princeton’s Center for Information Technology Policy
Alice Mathias, filmmaker at University of Southern California
Marcia Hofmann and David L. Sobel, Electronic Frontier Foundation
Maciej Ceglowski, writer and computer programmer
Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law
Lauren Bans, freelance writer
Nick O’Neill, founder and editor of AllFacebook.com
Susan Mernit, former Netscape and AOL vice president

So why was the uproar so loud about Facebook’s change? The primary reason is that Facebook is probably the single fastest growing site on the Web in terms of the numbers of new users registering daily (currently estimated between 470,000 and 600,000). With that sort of growth, it is pretty much the most buzzworthy company on earth today.

Some users seem to think that their information is private among themselves and their friends.
The second reason for the rapid backlash is that Facebook users are not fully educated about their rights when they register for Facebook. Users simply assume that their right to privacy will be maintained and they continue with that assumption even when they become highly active users (50 percent of users return daily). Some users seem to think that their information is private among themselves and their friends. Unfortunately, that isn’t true, even as users make private information very public.

Lots of people say they are concerned about their privacy, and yet they aren’t willing to take the time to educate themselves about what privacy settings are available to them. Is that Facebook’s fault? Is it the user’s fault? That is something that can be debated for a long time. What is clear is that Facebook has not yet clearly articulated all of its privacy settings while users have failed to perform their “due diligence” before registering for the site.

In an age when practically all of our personal information is becoming public, providing information to third parties and understanding what they are going to do with it is increasingly complex. I believe it’s the user’s duty to find out before they decide to post their deepest secrets for all to see.
