Planning for your upcoming full moon festival? Bakeries have begun stocking up moon cakes - including the one with egg yolk and of course double egg yolk filling. Charming!!!
There are now many contemporary moon cakes like the ones with chocolate and strawberry filling, crusts made from jelly instead of the traditional pastry. My favourite is still the lotus seed!
But those who do like the egg yolk filling - beware! Read on why.........

The misunderstanding in this world is that debt is always bad. Governments, corporations, small businesses, working individuals, even students all have DEBT and it is believed that DEBT will be the downfall of society. However debt is not itself the evil force behind recessions, repossessions, retrenches and credit crunches! Should you get a credit card given that it is essentially debt and must be bad?
BAD DEBT is the problem. Debt itself can be a wonderful tool when used effectively. However when used ineffectively, ‘good’ debt can quickly turn to ‘bad’ debt which can leave you in a nightmare situation. So before asking the "Should you get a credit card" question or choosing which credit card is suitable, make sure you keep the following in mind before applying.

The Health Ministry’s Pharmacy Enforcement Division (PED) conducts interactive exhibitions and public lectures, and works closely with the Education Ministry to disseminate information to students on the health risks posed by unregistered health products.
“To combat the sale of counterfeit medicines in Malaysia, enforcement officers carry out routine and scheduled inspections, entry-point checking, market sampling, and conduct raids to seize and confiscate unregistered products,” says Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.
Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah director-general of Health Ministry PED is involved in Operation Pangea, Interpol’s annual cooperative effort with law enforcement and customs agents from throughout the globe, which targets illicit drug trafficking through the Internet.
Last year, during Operation Pangea VII here, 295 websites and social networking sites were found selling unregistered medicines, adulterated health products and cosmetics. More than 45,000 parcels were seized with an estimated value of RM830,000.
There’s also the annual Operation Storm, targeted at South-East Asian countries. The purpose of the enforcement action is to protect consumers from sub-standard and dangerous medicinal products. The fifth operation, Storm V, was conducted for a month last August. The result: 851,500 items valued at RM4.1mil were seized. To curb the rise of counterfeit medicine, Dr Noor Hisham explains that pharmaceutical products must be registered with the National Pharmaceutical Control Bureau.
“To enhance security and combat counterfeiting; a hologram known as Meditag security label was made mandatory and required to be attached to each medical product. Despite these measures, counterfeiters have found ways to imitate this hologram and marketed their products as genuine ones,” he says.
Since then, the hologram features have been improved and enhanced to differentiate between genuine and fake ones. The government has also initiated the “Know Your Medicine” campaign to increase public awareness on the rational use of drugs.
The nationwide campaign focuses on educating the public on knowing the authenticity of drugs and obtaining medical products from a legal source.

How to assess the needs of someone who has been injured or is in physiological distress
BASIC first aid allows you to quickly determine a person’s physical condition and the correct course of treatment, whether the distress is due to to choking, heart attack, allergic reactions, drugs or alchohol or other medical emergencies. You should always seek professional medical help as soon as you are able. The following correct first aid procedures can be the difference between life and death:
1. Evaluate the situation.
Are there things that may put you at risk of harm? Are you or the victim threatened by fire, tosic smoke or gasses, an unstable building, live electrical wires and other dangers? Do not rush into a situation where you could end up as a victim yourself.
- If approaching the victim will endanger your life, seek professional help immediately; they have higher levels of training and know how to handle these situalions.
