9 Superfoods for Beautiful Skin

Find out what foods to eat to help combat sun damage, wrinkles and more

By Alexandra Gekas from WomansDay.com

You’ve heard the sayings “You are what you eat” and “Beauty is on the inside,” and when it comes to your skin care regimen, both just might be true. Not only does a healthy diet help keep skin in tip-top shape, but there are foods that may actually combat specific skin problems. Whether you’re trying to protect yourself against sun damage, clear up acne or decrease fine lines and wrinkles, here are nine foods that can help you toward achieving glowing, healthy skin.

Lowfat Dairy for Acne and Wrinkles

An important contributor to overall skin health, vitamin A helps your cells mature properly, according to Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Medical Center’s dermatology department in New York City. In fact, retinol, used to treat both acne and fine lines, is actually a compound of vitamin A. Lowfat dairy products like plain yogurt are a great source of vitamin A, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, as are liver, carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, spinach and kale.

Flaxseed for Wrinkles

You’ve heard a million times how good salmon is for fighting wrinkles because it contains omega-3 fatty acids (otherwise known as “good fats”), but according to the Mayo Clinic, flaxseed also contains high levels of these super fats. Not only do omega-3 fatty acids make your cell membranes stronger—which helps prevent harmful toxins from being absorbed—but they also keep moisture from getting out. “Healthy membranes allow cells to hold as much water in as possible, which makes the skin look plumper and younger,” Dr. Zeichner says. Other good sources of these essential fatty acids include walnuts and canola oil.

Green Tea for Sun Damage

Green tea has garnered a lot of attention for its various health benefits, but it’s truly a powerhouse when it comes to preventing skin damage. The polyphenols in green tea contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, according to a study from the Department of Dermatology at the University of Alabama School of Medicine, which means they protect against damaging ultraviolet rays. “In cultures where people have a high intake of green tea, it has been shown that they have a lower rate of skin cancer compared to other cultures,” Dr. Zeichner says.

Tuna for Sagging

In recent years, tuna has gotten a bad rap because of high mercury levels. However, when eaten in moderation, it still offers numerous nutrients, including selenium. According to the National Institutes of Health, the trace mineral helps prevent cellular damage. It also promotes elastin, a protein in your connective tissue that keeps your skin smooth, tight and flexible. Selenium can also be also found in beef, cod and turkey.

Avocados for Elasticity

One of the best sources of healthy fat is avocados. The high levels of monounsaturated fats in this smooth and savory fruit protect your skin cells and prevent wrinkling. “Similar to fatty acids, monounsaturated fats are incorporated in your cell walls, making them stronger,” Dr. Zeichner says. “There have even been studies showing that cultures with a high intake of monounsaturated fats have less wrinkling.” Other good sources of monounsaturated fats include olive oil, almonds and peanut butter.

Cooked Tomatoes for Sun Damage

Tomatoes—particularly cooked ones—are a terrific source of lycopene, an antioxidant compound in the carotenoid family that gives the fleshy fruit its red color. Lycopene helps defend against sun damage and wrinkles—and might even help both prevent and treat skin cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. “A very potent antioxidant, it can neutralize free radicals caused by ultraviolet exposure from the sun,” Dr. Zeichner says. Other healthy sources of lycopene include watermelon, pink grapefruit, papaya and red bell peppers.

Sweet Potatoes for Smooth Skin

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, which has been shown to support the growth of collagen, a protein that smoothes out wrinkles and gives the appearance of a fuller, more youthful face. In fact, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that volunteers who consumed 4 milligrams of vitamin C daily for three years were 11 percent less likely to have a wrinkled appearance. Other great sources of vitamin C include papayas, carrots and citrus fruits.

Berries for Sun Damage

Packed full of antioxidants, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries protect the skin against sun damage. Blueberries are particularly rich in flavones, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. “Kind of known as longevity genes, they are involved in expanding the lifespan of cells, leaving them looking younger and healthier for a longer period of time,” Dr. Zeichner says.

Almonds for Sun Damage

Several vitamins work as natural sun blockers and are often included in sunscreen formulas; vitamin E—which almonds are chockful of—is one of the most common. “Antioxidant vitamins are used in sunscreens because anything that does get through in theory can be neutralized by the antioxidants to prevent free radical damage,” Dr. Zeichner says. Other great dietary sources of vitamin E include wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds and hazelnuts.

New year, new goals - 2011

New year, new goals

TEACHER TALK

By NITHYA SIDHHU

Teachers must take time to take stock and bring about positive changes in class for the year ahead.

IT WAS Khalil Gibran who said that “the significance of a man is not what he attains, but rather in what he longs to attain”. Yes, what is it that you would like to achieve in the coming year?

For the Chinese, 2011 is going to be the Year of the Prosperous Rabbit so if there is one thing that teachers can choose to focus on, it could definitely be their productivity!

If you have no idea as to what your resolutions should be, here are 10 suggestions that can help you become a better teacher. Each one of them is inspired by a famous personality and I hope you will be motivated by them :

Resolve to be the master of your own will. According to motivational guru Robin S. Sharma, “people blame everything and everyone except themselves for their lack of willpower”.

You can, if you should choose to do so, adopt a more positive attitude towards your job and not let your frustrations affect your productivity and performance.

Sharma advises, “If you doubled or tripled the amount of willpower you currently have, you could be far more efficient with your time, erase all your bad habits and rekindle your drive and energy for living”. Try it!

Resolve to be a more interesting teacher. Think of the avoidance vs. approach principle. You have to attract your students to your teaching. Therefore monitor constantly your teaching style and reflect on the methodologies you employ and note which aspects of your personality ought to be highlighted in order to generate a positive response from your students.

Voice, body language, interaction levels and mannerisms can all be modulated. Offer your students learning stimuli which are varied and fun. As Mahatma Gandhi put it: “Be the change you want to see in the world around you.”

Resolve to communicate more with your students and be more connected to them. American management guru Peter F. Drucker was convinced that the “most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said”. What are your students not telling you? Do not take their comprehension for granted.

The silence of students who neither like nor understand their teacher can be as deafening as the enthusiastic accolades they give to a teacher who can genuinely communicate and interact with them.

Resolve to improve your pedagogical content knowledge — that is, know how to teach better. The former CEO of Ford, Lee Iacocca, explained that a person can can have brilliant ideas, but if he can’t get them across, then his ideas won’t get him anywhere”.

Think of how you convey content. Use clear and succinct explanations, systematic and efficient presentations, varied and apt examples and language that is clearly understood.

Even if it takes time, get the students involved and thinking. Shift your teaching goals from covering material to gaining understanding. Remember what author E.M. Forster said —“Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.”

Resolve to be a more effective teacher. In her book, Effective Teaching, educator Elizabeth Perrot emphasised that effective teachers exhibit a set of factors (known as the Ryan factors) which include the following three characteristics : ‘brisk and businesslike ; warm and understanding ; stimulating and imaginative’.

Also, teachers who are effective often use an open style of questioning which include techniques like probing, prompting, seeking clarification and re-focusing. Nothing escapes their eye in the classroom.

Resolve to find out what your students think of your teaching. Cast out your fears and get them to provide you feedback on the efficacy of your lessons. The evaluation method I myself like to use comes from lateral thinking advocate Edward de Bono.

Known as the PMI method – the format involves three columns — Plus, Minus and Interesting — in which the students can freely describe (using either words or sentences) your strengths, your weaknesses and your uniqueness (special qualities) respectively. Use the ‘plus’ comments to motivate you, the “minus” input to guide you on the improvements you need to make and the “interesting” observations to remind you of what makes you special to your students. If certain columns yawn empty, they are telling you volumes!

Resolve to look beyond race when you teach. Think of how you would feel if someone discriminated against you just because you were not of the same race! Martin Luther King, Jr. was guided by God when he said, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Resolve to be a more giving, kind, caring and concerned teacher. Be moved by a person like Mother Teresa who worked tirelessly among the sick, diseased and destitute.

She said, “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.” Think of this when your students approach you for help, support and understanding.

Resolve to have the right perspective on principals, paperwork, policies, pay and promotions. Each comes with its own attendant demands and in order to rise up, you sometimes have to bow down, put your shoulder to the wheel and press on.

In the face of adversity, have resilience and faith. As Calvin Coolidge put it: “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Finally, resolve to stay positive. Mix, mingle and be motivated by colleagues, students and people who are big and open-hearted. Paste Mark Twain’s wise words where you can read them daily for he was the one who said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

Have a great 2011.

Happy New Year!

Sekolah budayakan pembacaan al-Quran

Pengetua, Zakaria Awang (berbaju biru)
turut bersama para guru dan pelajar membaca al-Quran
di surau sekolah.

Sekolah budayakan pembacaan al-Quran

PEMBUDAYAAN membaca al-Quran sewajarnya dijadikan agenda di sekolah dalam membina keperibadian pelajar yang berjiwa luhur. Ketika fenomena gejala sosial yang semakin melanda golongan remaja, satu langkah konkrit seharusnya diambil membendungnya.

Lagi pun, dalam membina kecemerlangan pendidikan di sekolah itu sebenarnya tidak sekadar menggemilangkan kualiti akademik sahaja.

Aspek pembinaan akhlak dan moral yang mulia mesti menjadi teras utama dalam agenda sesebuah sekolah.

Sesebuah sekolah yang berprestasi tinggi dan hebat mestilah diukur dari pelbagai dimensi dan ini semestinya merangkumi pembentukan pelajar yang berakhlak unggul.

Meskipun negara sedang rancak dalam mengagendakan aspirasi menjadi sebuah negara maju pada tahun 2020, elemen pembentukan sahsiah generasi muda tidak pernah dikesampingkan begitu sahaja.

Seperti kata bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, matlamat negara adalah menjadi negara maju pada tahun 2020.

Takrif negara maju sudahpun dijelaskan. Ini tidak bermakna pembangunan material yang membelakangkan kerohanian. Matlamat kita adalah sebuah negara maju dari segi ilmu, kecekapan dan kekayaan tetapi tidak kehilangan moral dan pegangan kepada ajaran agama.

Sehubungan itu, jelaslah bahawa aspek kerohanian dan pembangunan sahsiah yang murni menjadi teras kepada kejayaan negara pada masa akan datang.

Membudayakan pembacaan al-Quran di sekolah juga selari dengan intipati yang tersurat dan tersirat dalam Falsafah Pendidikan Kebangsaan (FPK ) yang ingin melahirkan generasi pelajar yang seimbang.

Atas faktor tersebutlah maka Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sultan Sulaiman, Kuala Terengganu menjadikan membaca al-Quran sebagai pendekatan terbaik dalam membentuk sahsiah diri murid-muridnya.

Aktiviti tersebut diadakan di surau sekolah iaitu Surau At-Taqwa.

Menurut Guru Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid (HEM), Arman A. Razak, melalui pembacaan al-Quran ia dapat melentur jiwa para murid ke arah pemantapan dan penghayatan roh keagamaan yang tinggi.

Untuk itu, katanya, sekolah tersebut menjadikan setiap pagi khamis sebelum memulakan sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran sebagai aktiviti membaca al-Quran dan solat hajat.

Insya-Allah tahun hadapan, kata beliau, sekolah itu merancang menjadikan setiap waktu pertama persekolahan diisi dengan kegiatan membaca al-Quran bagi pelajar-pelajar beragama Islam.

Manakala untuk pelajar bukan Muslim, mereka akan mengikuti ceramah moral.

“Ini dilaksanakan dengan matlamat menjadikan jiwa para pelajar terbina dengan nilai-nilai agama dan moral yang mulia.

“Lagipun, ia sejajar dengan dasar Jabatan Pelajaran Terengganu yang akan menjadikan waktu pertama persekolahan pada tahun hadapan diisikan dengan kegiatan bertadarus al-Quran,” katanya.

Twitter Khairul Fahmi kelima tertinggi di dunia

KUALA LUMPUR 30 Dis. – Persembahan cemerlang penjaga gol Malaysia, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat bukan sekadar mampu menarik peminat baru ke akaun Facebook beliau, malah menempatkannya di kedudukan kelima tertinggi di seluruh dunia bagi trend terkini rangkaian sosial Twitter.

Dalam tempoh sejam, penjaga gol kelahiran Kelantan yang sebelum ini tidak begitu dikenali, meningkat secara mendadak ke tempat kelima, menumpaskan Support Timnas, yang menyokong pasukan bola sepak Indonesia.

Fahmi juga menjadi topik paling popular untuk Twitter di Indonesia.

Laman Facebook beliau mendapat hit sebanyak 57,000 daripada peminat, ketika artikel ini ditulis kurang daripada dua jam, berbanding tidak lebih daripada 50,000 peminat sebelum perlawanan bermula.

Khairul Fahmi, 21, berupaya menyelamatkan lebih daripada 10 percubaan mendebarkan oleh pasukan Indonesia yang menyerang secara agresif sejurus selepas wisel perlawanan dibunyikan.

“Terima kasih kerana mengembalikan ‘keseksian’ dalam bola sepak Malaysia,” kata seorang peminat dalam laman bola sepak pemain itu.

Kegiatan jadi bahagian khusus, dipisahkan daripada seni, kokurikulum

KUALA LUMPUR: Kementerian Pelajaran semalam memutuskan pelaksanaan beberapa langkah bagi memperkukuhkan pembangunan sukan di sekolah mulai tahun depan, termasuk memberi lima daripada 10 peratus markah yang diperuntukkan untuk kokurikulum.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, berkata antara lain yang diputuskan ialah menjadikan kegiatan sukan sebagai satu bahagian khusus yang mempunyai pengarah dan timbalan pengarah yang akan dilantik seramai empat orang, di samping memisahkan bahagian sukan yang sebelum ini dicantum dengan seni dan kokurikulum.

“Selain itu, kerajaan juga memutuskan bahawa pemarkahan kepada pelajar yang menyertai aktiviti sukan adalah lima peratus berbanding 10 peratus yang diperuntukkan di bawah aktiviti kokurikulum sebelum ini yang tidak memberikan sebarang penekanan terhadap sukan.

“Sebelum ini, kegiatan kokurikulum sukan tidak diberi penekanan di sekolah. Bermula tahun depan, dasar 1Murid 1Sukan akan dikuatkuasakan,” katanya selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Induk Pembangunan Sukan Sekolah di Bangunan Parlimen.

Muhyiddin berkata, turut diputuskan ialah penambahan tenaga kerja seperti guru khas untuk melaksanakan pembangunan sukan di sekolah yang akan dibuat secara berperingkat.

Katanya, peruntukan untuk aktiviti sukan juga akan ditambah bagi setiap pelajar iaitu RM4 bagi pelajar sekolah rendah dan RM6 untuk pelajar sekolah menengah, berbanding peruntukan RM2.40 bagi setiap pelajar sebelum ini.
“Kementerian juga akan mengambil langkah untuk menambah jadual kokurikulum dan ia akan susun balik, kalau boleh sukan itu diajar dalam jadual waktu persekolahan, jadi pelajar tidak perlu pulang,” katanya.

Beliau berkata, bagaimanapun, langkah itu perlu dilakukan tanpa menjejaskan waktu pembelajaran akademik dan tidak membabitkan keperluan untuk memanjangkan waktu persekolahan.

“Cara ini untuk menggalakkan pembangunan sukan di sekolah, bukannya nak tumpu untuk lahirkan atlit, tetapi jika nak majukan sukan di sekolah, mesti dapat mengenal pasti bakat yang boleh diketengahkan menerusi Majlis Sukan Negara, tapi sasaran kementerian ialah pembabitan pelajar dalam bidang pasukan,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Muhyiddin berkata, satu jawatankuasa akan ditubuhkan untuk mendapatkan pandangan pelbagai pihak berhubung dasar pendidikan seks di sekolah.

Timbalan Perdana Menteri berkata, jawatankuasa itu akan dianggotai pakar dalam bidang pendidikan seks, biologi dan hal yang berkaitan.

“Mungkin kita boleh mengambil sedikit contoh daripada apa yang berlaku di setengah negara yang sudah memperkenalkan (dasar ini) dan juga pakar yang ada di kementerian,” katanya.

Muhyiddin yang juga Menteri Pelajaran berkata, isu pendidikan seks di sekolah sudah dibincangkan oleh banyak pihak.

“Cuma kementerian yang belum lagi membuat keputusan kerana kita faham yang ia adalah suatu perkara yang agak besar dan dinanti bukan saja oleh kementerian tetapi pelajar, ibu bapa dan masyarakat. Oleh itu, ia adalah satu perkara yang perlu kita halusi semasak-masaknya.

“Jadi, saya bercadang untuk menubuh satu jawatankuasa untuk mendapatkan pandangan pelbagai pihak yang setakat ini (hanya menyuarakannya) kepada media saja, ada pakar kata bagus, ada yang kata tak bagus, ada yang kata sudah sampai masanya,” katanya.

Tense and anxious mood hours before kick off

Tense and anxious mood hours

before kick off

By ERIC SAMUEL

JAKARTA: Its hours away to kick off and the tense atmosphere could be felt outside The Sultan hotel where the Malaysian football team is staying on Wednesday.

It has been tense ever since the team arrived Monday and since Malaysia beat the Indonesians 3-0 in Sunday's AFF Suzuki Cup final first leg at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

In fact, the Malaysians have a bird's eye view of the going-ons outside the hotel, a five-minute drive from the Gelora Bung Karno stadium, venue of the much-awaited second leg.

Since morning, red-shirted Indonesian fans began to arrive in large numbers at the stadium.

Fans anxiously waiting for the game to start.

Some have been camping there the whole night. The car horns have been blaring most of the day and traffic is starting to come to a standstill.

The TV stations started their live coverage early by conducting on-the-spot interviews and game assessment from the fans at the stadium.

Team manager Datuk Subahan Kamal said they have been provided with adequate security and even given a senior police officer to attend to the team's needs round-the-clock.

"The mood is good inside (the team) but we are quite worried what is going to happen outside. I was told that it is tensed out there.

"The Indonesian fans are upset with our victory in the first-leg at Bukit Jalil," Subahan told The Star.

Coach K. Rajagopal advised the boys to remain focussed and not get distracted by the happenings outside.

"We have a game to play on the field. What happens outside is not our concern. We came to play football," said Rajagopal.

FA of Malaysia (FAM) deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah joined the team for lunch Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the team's final training at the Senayan C ground was called off due to security concerns.

Even their plans to train at an alternative venue backfired when they got caught in a traffic jam. Rajagopal was left with no other choice but to concentrate on light training at the hotel grounds.

There were reports of Indonesian fans mobbing them with banners carrying anti-Malaysia slogans during the training at the hotel ground.

M'sian team trains at hotel

as tensions remain high in Jakarta

By ERIC SAMUEL and AMY CHEW

JAKARTA: Tensions remained high in the Indonesian capital as football fans awaited the much-anticipated Asean Federation Football (AFF) Suzuki Cup final second-leg match tonight.

Indonesian fans are upset with the Malaysians, alleging that laser light beams had been shone on the faces of the republic’s players to distract them in the first-leg match at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. Malaysia won that match 3-0.

The Jakarta Metropolitan Police are serious about keeping the peace and are deploying 10,000 policemen at the Bung Karno Stadium. Police have also banned sharp weapons and the use of lasers or firecrackers by spectators. Some 85,000 fans are expected at the match.

The training session for the Malaysian team – originally scheduled to be held at the stadium amid tight security – was moved to the hotel where they are staying, for safety reasons.

Even Malaysian journalists were advised not to wear the national colours for security reasons. Many turned up in red, pretending to be Indonesian newsmen.

Masalah Disiplin Pelajar Masih Terkawal

Masalah Disiplin Pelajar Masih Terkawal

PUTRAJAYA: Tahap disiplin pelajar sekolah di seluruh negara masih berada dalam situasi terkawal dengan hanya dua hingga tiga peratus daripada lebih lima juta pelajar sahaja yang terlibat dengan masalah tahun lepas, kata Timbalan Menteri Pelajaran, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Beliau berkata prestasi itu dapat dicapai hasil daripada pelaksanaan pelbagai program dan kempen yang dilaksanakan secara berterusan bagi menangani masalah itu.

Menurutnya pada tahun lepas seramai 111,484 pelajar terlibat dengan salah laku disiplin iaitu 72,557 orang atau 65.08 peratus pelajar Sekolah Menengah, manakala 38,927 atau 34.92 peratus lagi adalah murid Sekolah Rendah.

"Jumlah salah laku bagi kategori berunsur jenayah adalah sebanyak 0.32 peratus atau 17,595 orang; kurang sopan (0.39 peratus atau 18,346); tidak pentingkan masa (0.33 peratus atau 17,808) dan ponteng sebanyak 19,545 atau 0.36 peratus.

"Kategori salah laku yang berada pada kadar yang kecil adalah berunsur kelucahan sebanyak 3,031 atau 0.06 peratus, vandalisme sebanyak 5,212 atau 0.1 peratus dan kenakalan sebanyak 8,563 (0.16 peratus)," katanya kepada pemberita selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Induk Menangani Gejala Disiplin Murid di sini, Isnin.

Mengenai gejala ponteng sekolah, Wee berkata tumpuan akan diberikan kepada semua sekolah termasuk sekolah-sekolah menengah di Felda dengan melaksanakan mekanisme tertentu supaya mereka juga tidak akan terabai.

"Ibu bapa mungkin terlalu sibuk dengan tugas harian sehingga mengabaikan anak-anak dan membawa kepada masalah disiplin seperti ponteng, menghisap dadah dan sebagainya," kata beliau.

Beliau juga menasihatkan ibu bapa supaya tidak menggalakkan anak-anak untuk tidak hadir ke sekolah terutamanya selepas musim peperiksaan.

Mesyuarat hari ini turut membincangkan program-program yang akan dilaksanakan untuk menangani masalah disiplin di kalangan pelajar untuk tahun depan termasuk mengadakan kursus undang-undang dan penguatkuasaan peraturan kepada guru-guru disiplin.

"Selain itu program lain yang akan dilaksanakan termasuk pemantapan kemahiran pengawas sekolah, kempen menangani gejala ponteng, buli dan kelucahan serta program jati diri kepada pelajar yang berisiko, program melibatkan Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru (PIBG) serta pemantapan sistem pemantauan masalah disiplin secara online," katanya.

Dalam pada itu beliau berkata setakat ini keadaan masih belum mendesak untuk meletakkan kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) di sekolah-sekolah berikutan masalah disiplin di kalangan pelajar masih terkawal.

Bagaimanapun beliau berkata inisiatif untuk meletakkan CCTV itu bergantung kepada PIBG serta pihak sekolah. - BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR 27 Dis. – Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) dijangka dapat melaksanakan skim potongan gaji secara automatik terhadap peminjam Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi Nasional (PTPTN) mulai 1 Januari, 2012.

Ketua Pengarah dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif LHDN, Tan Sri Hasmah Abdullah berkata, pihaknya sedang membuat draf undang-undang, sistem dan operasi dengan PTPTN bagi membolehkannya mengutip pinjaman dengan lebih berkesan.

"Draf yang sedang dikemas kini akan dibawa ke Parlimen selewat-lewatnya pada bulan Jun tahun depan,” katanya pada majlis penutupan Projek Sistem Perakaunan Hasil Berelektronik (eRAS) LHDN di sini hari ini.

Hasmah berkata, undang-undang ini penting bagi membolehkan LHDN mengambil tindakan sekiranya peminjam tidak membuat bayaran.

Buat masa ini, katanya peminjam masih boleh terus membuat bayaran secara sukarela di LHDN kerana pihaknya adalah salah satu daripada saluran untuk membayar balik pinjaman. – Bernama

AFF Suzuki Cup:

Malaysia 3 Indonesia 0

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia picked up a handsome 3-0 win over arch rivals Indonesia in the first-leg of the final in the Suzuki Cup Asean Football Federation (AFF) Championships at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Sunday.

Mohd Safee Sali was the toast scoring a brace in the 60th and 73rd minutes while substitute Mohd Ashaari Shamsuddin scored the other goal in the 67th minute to give Malaysia a comfortable three-goal cushion for the second-leg final at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Malaysia had lost to Indonesia in the opening Group A match 1-5 in Jakarta on Dec 1.

Since the defeat the Malaysians have picked up momentum going three games undefeated - holding three-time winners Thailand (0-0), thrashing Laos (5-1) and knocking out defending champions Vietnam 2-0 on aggregate in the semi-finals last week.

Malaysia have never won the AFF series since the inaugural meet held in Singapore in 1996.

They made the final in 1996 but lost to Thailand 0-1.

Final Piala Suzuki AFF





......Malaysia vs Indonesia....




good luck Malaysia!!...

Lagu Bola Malaysia

Sejarah baru bakal tercipta

EDISI kelapan Piala Suzuki AFF pada tahun ini bakal menobatkan juara baru apabila Malaysia dan Indonesia buat kali pertama bertarung pada perlawanan akhir.

Malaysia mara ke final selepas mengharungi laluan berliku bermula dengan episod dimalukan Indonesia 5-1 pada peringkat Kumpulan A namun kemudiannya bangkit mendadak mengikat juara tiga kali, Thailand tanpa jaringan serta membenam cabaran Laos pada perlawanan terakhir kumpulan.

Skuad bimbingan ketua jurulatih kebangsaan, K Rajagobal itu bagaimanapun berterima kasih kepada Indonesia yang menewaskan Thailand pada perlawanan akhir kumpulan bagi membolehkan Malaysia mara ke peringkat separuh akhir dan berjaya menyingkirkan juara bertahan dan tuan rumah Kumpulan B, Vietnam dengan agregat 2-0.

Situasi sebaliknya diharungi Indonesia apabila meraih mata maksimum daripada tiga perlawanan peringkat kumpulan untuk mengesahkan tempat sebagai pasukan pertama ke peringkat separuh akhir.

Malah tuah memihak mereka pada separuh akhir menentang Filipina apabila kedua-dua perlawanan berlangsung di Stadium Gelora Bung Karno selepas lawan nasib baik mereka berterusan apabila bertemu dengan Filipina pada peringkat separuh akhir dan beraksi pada dua perlawanan di laman sendiri iaitu Stadium Gelora Bung Karno di Jakarta selepas lawan gagal menyediakan stadium yang memenuhi kriteria ditetapkan penganjur.

“Inilah keadaan menarik untuk saya saksikan kerana sepanjang kejohanan ini bermula Indonesia hanya beraksi di tempat sendiri saja diiringi ribuan penyokong fanatik mereka.

“Saya nak tengok reaksi pemain Indonesia di dalam tempoh 15 minit pertama permainan,” kata Rajagobal yang menjadi jurulatih kedua membimbing Malaysia ke final Piala Suzuki AFF selepas Wan Jamak Wan Hassan melakukannya pada 1996.

Sikap tenang dan perancangan rapi serta tidak cemas selepas hilang sekurang-kurangnya 10 pemain utama yang sering menjadi pilihannya akhirnya membuahkan hasil awal daripada disangka.

Adunan pemain muda yang berusia seawal 19 tahun dan pemain senior seperti Mohd Amri Yahyah yang mencecah usia 29 tahun akhirnya sebati apabila berjaya mara ke pentas akhir dengan menyingkirkan juara bertahan, Vietnam. Kelebihan diatas kertas memang memihak kepada Indonesia kerana mempunyai barisan pemain berpengalaman dan beberapa pemain asing yang diberikan taraf kewarganegaraan serta penyokong fanatik skuad bimbingan Alfred Riedl itu.

Malah jentera serangan mereka sudah meledak 15 gol dan hanya melepaskan dua berbanding Malaysia yang menjaringkan lapan gol serta melepaskan enam.

Selain itu kali terakhir Malaysia menewaskan Indonesia di gelanggang sendiri adalah 21 tahun lalu ketika Lim Teong Kim menjaringkan dua gol pada perlawanan akhir Sukan SEA 1989 dan baki lima perlawanan di Malaysia selepas itu menyaksikan Indonesia menang dua daripadanya dan tiga keputusan seri.

Namun statistik itu tidak berguna lagi apabila memasuki final kerana ia pentas berbeza.

Pemain kebangsaan menyedari harapan disandarkan bagi menaikkan kembali maruah bola sepak di pentas antarabangsa dan langkah pertama adalah menakluki Asia Tenggara dengan menjuarai Piala Suzuki AFF.
