nothing is impossible

His highess Nathan , the president of the Republic of Singapore

First and foremost I wish to express my highest respect to you and your people for showing an excellent example to the world in eradicating proverty , maintaintaning high growth of economy.

The Singapore government is one who love the people and care for the welfare of the

people. With that love and care the singapore people who are smart and work hard has also shown to the world with determination nothing is impossible ,they can always make their home , their country a better place to stay , they can make their dream come true. I remember seeing a picture when I was three , it show a fishing village which was a place in Singapore , but the place had now changed to a well developed area. Today Singapore portray herself to the world as as a modern ,wealthy, clean , eff icient and transparent City State.,

All this happened not by chance but due to the hard effort of the people of Singapore. The security and order in Singapore is of not exception and the police and the security and defence force of the republic should be highly praised for.

Eventouhgh we are living in different country but we have many things in common. Firstly I fullly agreed that the Singapore should impose strict law to prevent the smuggling of drug into the country. As all of us know the abuse of drug is not only bad to the health but also will have a very negative impact on our society.Needless to say those involved in drug smuggling and trafficking need to be purnished appropriately.

Secondly what we have in common is LOVE and compassion towards our parent , our child , our friends. Every mother love their child very much because a child has been with her since gestation began.

The same thing to applies to the mother of Yong Voi Kong.This mother has bot slept well , ate well eversince hearing the bad news of her son. The same applies to the relative and friends of Yong Voi Kong and also more than 100,000 of people who has signed to petition to save Yong Voi Kong. All of us hopes that he would be given chance to be reeducated.

Another thing we have in common is the willingness for us to forgive people who are innocent ,to help the less fortunate, I remember this very well ever since I was a child , because my parent and my teachers has time and again mentined that to me.

Many are hoping that Yong Voi Kong should be given chance to continue his life through reeducation, there are many examples of criminal has been turned to a better and sucessful person and we strongly Yong will make if he is given the chance.

Once again I wish to express my highest respect to you and your people for showing the world that Singapore is a nation full of love and compassion.

May Health , fortune and Happiness be with you and your people

Thank you and warmest regard

फुएल car

A group of Scientists from Tongju University and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. have developed China's first hydrogen-powered car, which they hope is a key step toward mass production of a pollution-free vehicle by the end of the decade.

From its appearance, the car, called Chao Yue I, is no different from an ordinary one. It is based on the chassis of a Santana 2000, and can reach a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour.

The real difference can be seen on the inside of the car. Without a gas engine, the car is equipped with an electromotor and a hydrogen tank.

Wan Gang, director of the project, says the car is quite special in several ways.

"The fuel of the car is not traditional gasoline, but hydrogen. With the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, electricity can be created to drive the car, while water is the only emission."

With this characteristic, director Wan says, the air quality in many cities can be greatly improved. A survey shows that around 60 percent of air pollution in cities is caused by car emissions.

And because of the electromotor the car carries, the vibrations and noise of the car can also be greatly reduced.

In addition, while driving, surplus electricity created in the chemical reaction can be collected and stored in the accumulator installed in the car.

Talking about the reasons for replacing the traditional petrol-powered engine, director Wan gives his answer.

"China's oil demands are increasing day by day. According to statistics, each year, about 40 percent of oil is used in transportation. So if we can find some alternative recycling energy, we can save that portion of resources, and also protect the environment."

But before the car becomes a standard feature of car showrooms, they still need to be worked on.

"We still need more time to test the reliability and stability of the car during different weather conditions and over different terrains, and to test its long-term performance. Plus, before mass producing the vehicle, we will try to reduce its cost to the consumer."

In the next step, director Wan says they expect to produce a hydrogen-powered car, which can experience various road conditions, in August this year. The first batch of these cars is expected to enter the market in 2005.

But the only disadvantage of the car in the future, director Wan predicts, is its price, which probably will be 20% higher than the same brand car equipped with a petrol-powered engine.

hope the Bakun power generation will start very soon to drive our country to a higher dimension

The Bakun hydro-electric Project is a project that that involved billions of dollars and took few decades to complete However it is a project that can bring benefits to the people and country.
If the relocation of the ethnic residents who live in the area is carried out in good order, these people can also be assimilated into the mainstream of development.
We can not expect these people to practice self sufficient farming and nomadic farming (Sweedish farming )forever. They are like us, need development. Their younger generation is also hoping for the a better future
We should also welcome the setting up of aluminium and silicon factories in the Bakun area, because these will ensure the supply of essential manufacturing materials.
Raw materials such as steel, aluminium and Silicon are strategic items to Malaysia, one of the major trade and manufacturing country. The shortage of these essential items will cause to manufacturing industries in our country to come to standstill and adversely affect the social and economic performance of our country.
The emergence of china as a Second Economic power, has triggered their demand for raw materials such as steel, petroleum, and aluminium. For information one of the difficulty faced by steel manufacturer of Malaysia is the shortage of scrap and ingot , because the china government has impose restriction on the export of scrap and impose high export duty on iron ingot. One of the best way for us to get out of the difficulties is to expand the production capacity by installing more blast furnace in long run. This in term will trigger our demand for electrical power.
Excellent country administer always monitor the international market and plan the country for the future , get ready an umbrella before rain and explore more well to avoid thirst.
An efficient government is not only concerned with the daily life of the people, but also able to plan through creation and innovaton to ensure that the nation can continue to grow in the era full of competition and uncertainty. We sincerely hope
the Bakun power generationr will start very soon to drive our country to a higher dimension

Pentabir Negara yang bijaksan selalu berusaha meneroka telaga untuk mengelakan Negara dari kehausan.

GOH HOE HOE
Kerja pembinaan empangan Bakum sudah sampai ke peringkat hujung dan stesen jana elektrik Bakun dijangka akan mula beroperasi tidak lama lagi. Apakah implikasi projek janakuasa Bakun yang mampu menjana 2400 megawatt apablila beroperasi penuh kepada kita?

Adakah ini satu penanda yang menunjukkan bahawa kita mula menjejak langkah ke arah Model Baru Ekonomi (MBE) yang antaranya mementingkan daya inovatif dan kreatif sebagai langkah untuk meningikan taraf hidup rakyat?

Sebagaimana yang kita semua tahu tenaga adalah merupakan unsur yang penting dalam kehidupan harian , khasnya bagi negara pembuatan utama dunia seperti Malaysia.

Untuk makluman salah satu tarikan Malaysia kepada pelabur asing adalah perkhidmatan bekalan eletrik negara yang bukan sahaja murah tetapi juga paling stabil. Tarif elektrik Malaysia adalah yang paling rendah di rantau ini akibat subsidi jumlah besar yang dibiayai oleh kerajaan ke atas bahan api.

Tetapi masa kita dalam keadaaan selesa kita pun mesti ingat panjang panjang, kita tidak boleh bergantung selama-lamanya kepada subsidi. Perpatah Cina ada mengatakan 'jangan korek perigi hanya pada saat dahaga'. Kita perlu cari alternatif untuk mengelakan kita dari kegawatan, supaya negara dapat terus berkembang.

Pembinaan projek hidro-elektrik memang adalah sesuatu yang dilaksanakan berdasarkan prinsip pembangunan berterusan (sustainable) dan teknologi hijau. Air adalah merupakan sumber tenaga yang boleh diperbarui, kerana hujan turun sepanjang tahun di negara kita.

Dengan siapnya projek Bakun, kadar elektrik yang murah dan stabil dapat dibekalkan di sini dan menarik pelabur asing dan tempatan untuk mendirikan industri. Ini seterusnya dapat menjana peluang pekerjaan dan menambah pendapatan negara.

Selain daripada itu empangan Bakun juga dapat berfungsi sebagai pencegah banjir pada waktu monsun melalui sistem pengawalan airnya. Ini adalah baik untuk petani dan penghuni yang duduk di sekitanya.

Memang Projek hydroletrik Bakun adalah projek yang dilaksanakan dengan belanjawan yang sangat tinggi dan memgambil masa yang sangat panjang.Namun ia adalah projek yang boleh mendatangkan keuntungan kepada rakyat dan Negara .Kalau kerja pemindaan semula penduduk yang menetap dikawasan bakun dilakukan secara teratur , maka kaum ethik yang selama ini duduk dikawasan pinggir dapat dialirkan ke arus utama pembangunan . Kita tidak boleh ingat yang kaum etnik sana mesti amalkan pertanian pindah untuk selama lamanya , mereka seperti kami juga memerlukan kemajuan , generasi muda di sana juga mengharapkan masa depan yang selesa , ceria dan terjamin.
Bagi Negara pembuatan dunia seperti Malaysia bahan mentah untuk perkilangan seperti Keluli , Slicon dan Aluminium adalah merupakan barangan strategic . Tanpa barangan barangan ini aktiviti perkilangan akan tergendala, dan seterus nya menyebabkan kegawatan. Pembinaan kilang aluminium dan silicon di Sarawak harus lah disambut dengan perasaan yang ria dan gembira, kerana ia bukan sahaja dapat memastikan barangan strategic untuk akitiviti itu cukup malah juga dapat menambahkan pendapatan Negara.
Cuba kita bayangkanapa akan jadi kalau negara kita kurang besi dan aluminum , impak nya memang banyak dan panjang mahu ceritakan, tetapi impak pertama ialah industri pembinaan tentu akan tergendala, dan setrusnya membawa kesan negatif kepada industri perkilangan , pengannguran naik huru hara terjadi.
Untuk Makluman, dengan kemunculan Negara china sebagai kuasa Ekonomik Kedua , permintaan Negara ini terhadap bahan mentah seperti keluli , petroleum dan aluminium akan meningkat dan memberikan saingan kepada Negara industry utama lain seperti Malaysia untuk memperolehi bahan mentah .
Upama nya satu cabaran yang kini berhadapan dengan kilang pembuatan besi Malaysia ia lah kesukaran untuk memperolehi scrap untuk pembuatan besi , kerana kerajaaan china telah mengenakan sekatan untuk mengeskpot Scrap ke luar Negara. Kerajaan China juga mengenakan cukai yang sangat tinggi keatas Ingot besi yang diekspot. Sebahagian besar daripada ingot untuk pembuatan besi di Negara Asia Tenggara Malaysia adalah dimpot dari Negara China. Apakah cara untuk mengelakan Negara dari
Keadaan yang rumit , jawapan nya ialah memperkembangkan Kapasiti pengeluaran kilang besi dengan mendirikan lebih buah blast furnace (Dapur lebur Besi).Dan ini bermaksud permintaan terhadap tenaga akan bertambah.
Pentabir Negara yang bijaksana selalu memantau keadaan pasaran antarabangsa supaya boleh menyediakan payung sebelum hujan turun . Pentabir Negara yang bijaksan selalu berusaha untuk menerokai lebih banyak telaga untuk mengelakan Negara dari kehausan.

Kerajaan yang cekap bukan sahaja mengambil berat terhadap kehidupan harian rakyat, tetapi juga mampu merancang dengan cara yang kreatif dan innovative untuk memastikan negara dapat terus berkembang dalam zaman yang penuh dengan saingan dan ketidakpastian.
Kita amat berharap penjaanan kuasa hidroletrik bakun akan bermula dengan lancar dan setrus nya mendorong Negara Kita ke dimensi yang lebih tinggi.

马儿好，马儿跑，马儿要吃草

马华公会总会长拿督斯里蔡细历最进在华人经济大会向大马首相作出建议而引起来非议。他所作出的建议包括了1）开放石油通讯领域2）以选贤与能的原则来委任官联工司的高职，3）公开招标系统，4）绩效5）留住人才6）合理化价津贴及实行最低薪金制
笔者不是经济学家也不是管理的人才，所以无法对此作出太多的评论。本人好马，就以马与此课提相提并论。
记得刚进入小的时候有读到{马儿好，马儿跑，马儿要吃草}这一段课文。这段课文简单易记，我一直都有印象。出来社会功作之后每当对工作不满时也会念这段课文不过只是把它改为（即要马儿好，即要马儿跑，又要马儿要吃草）来对环境表示不满。到底马与人有相同之处吗。很显然两者都有共同点。两者皆为劳动之物。马除了像人需要吃，喝，睡觉之外，也是有情之物。我想这一点训马师及骑马师都很了解。要照顾好一匹兢马是非常需要功夫，除了要给它食好，住好之外每天还要给他跑步之外还要跟时常跟它沟通，鼓励它，建立好关系，这样它才可以在竞赛的时后有好的表现。培养人又何赏不是这样呢。
人作为生物，动物及有情之物需要的东西和竞马一样，就是中国大文豪鲁所讲的1）生存，2）温饱，3）发展
要让马儿在赛会赢出，就要给马赢的机会。我相信国家要在竞争中的环境赢出道理也是一样

和40年前截然不同

员工需先有赢的动机才会全力以赴，领导者就是要鼓舞个别员工从而创造非凡绩效。

带员工如待赛马，让他自信是马王，就会一举冲破终点线！

把马儿引到水边是一回事，有没有能耐让马儿饮水却是另一回事。相信许多人都对这个教训耳熟能详。在商业机构里，领薪水的员工可比喻为该机构的基本“马力”，个个都有产生卓越成效的潜力。

如何激发员工潜力，并将这转变为实际成果，实为任何领导者面临的主要挑战之一。你不能强迫马儿喝水，也不能强迫员工一定要有杰出的表现。如果企业领导者采用高压控制手段，指挥员工做这做那的，最后只能训练出一批盲目服从、遵守纪律及逆来顺受的员工。

事实上，员工是需要被鼓舞的。唯有被鼓舞的员工，才会自动自发地努力做事。唯有充满热情的人，才会主动与人协调，发挥团队精神———这通常是创造世界级绩效的前提。简言之，我们需要一个更好的管理典范。经理人的角色不是挥舞着鞭子，迫使员工一定要赢过竞争者，这样做根本行不通，就像骑师想要从起跑线一路扛着马儿跑到终点一样可笑。

相反地，员工必须先有赢的动机，才会全力以赴。因此，经理人的角色，就是要鼓舞个别员工，打动他的心，从而创造非凡的绩效。换言之，伟大经理人能鼓舞平凡员工创造非凡绩效。伟大经理人懂得唤起员工热情，使得他们个个渴望成功。

经理人应如何善用他人的努力创造事业成功，以赢得领导竞赛？自从人类懂得驾驭马儿以来，就有人一直在问这个问题：“哪匹马会赢得比赛———被骑师鞭打最凶的那匹，还是最会享受在赛场上奔驰乐趣的那匹？”

1、承诺。

任何骑师第一个要面对的任务，就是要确定马儿有赢的意志。换言之，如果组织所有成员都想要赢得胜利，离成功就不远了；仅拥有一批士气高昂的经理人是不够的。

2、沟通。

能够互相了解及倾听对方声音的马儿与骑师，才是最好的组合。能否到此种境界非常重要，因为有时只有马儿晓得最有利的跑法。聪明经理人都听得懂马儿的心声，并能向马儿学习。

3、领导者个人言行。

骑师表现的态度、动作举止，都会对马儿的表现产生微妙的影响。同样地，领导者的态度，每天都会牵动整个组织的情结。

4、监督。

优秀骑师随时视环境变化，主动调整对马儿的操控。同理，优秀经理人也会视组织发展情况，随时主动调整领导方式。他们全心全意融入自己的工作。

5、创新。

马儿有时也会想要打破常规，试试新的路径。同时，优秀经理人懂得设计出富挑战性的工作环境，引起员工的好奇心，促使他们想出更好的新方法，以取悦顾客。经理人鼓励员工从工作中寻找乐趣，因为这样的态度将会感染顾客。

6、工作环境。

跑得最快的马儿，总是出身最好的马厩。同理，最能鼓舞人心的工作环境，可以促使员工发挥最大潜力。

7、变迁。

马儿发生重大变迁时———例如怀孕生子、抚养小马、大病初愈等，好骑师一定会细心照料。同样地，优秀经理人也能理解，当公司面临重大变迁时，一定会有部分特殊的需要。

8、鼓励。

对于主人的鼓励及赞美，马儿常回以热烈的反应———如果它们相信自己能跑第一，便会全力冲刺。带员工的道理亦然。如果员工感受到，经理人肯定他们以及他们对工作的付出，一定会全力以赴。

9、制定优良决策。

马儿赢得比赛，必然表示骑师选择了正确的途径。同时，优秀企业领导者懂得让员工参与制定决策。经理人和员工共同作出的决策，往往是最佳的决策。

10、个人发展。

赢得重要比赛的马儿，仍须接受吃重的训练，好应付未来更多赛事。同理，企业领导者必须为将来的成功准备，今天就要做好养马员的工作，以及技能的养成训练。

http://www.aluminumsmeltingprocess.com/aluminum_usages.html

The aluminum is produced extracting it from the aluminum oxide (Al2O3), called also alumina, through an electrolysis process driven by electrical current. The process uses as electrolyte a molten salts called Cryolite (Na3AlF6) capable of dissolve the alumina. Carbon anodes are immersed into the electrolyte (usually referred as the "bath") carrying electrical current which then flows into the molten cryolite containing dissolved alumina. As a result, the chemical bond between aluminum and oxygen in the alumina is broken, the aluminum is deposited in the bottom of the cell, where a molten aluminum deposit is found, while the oxygen reacts with the carbon of the anodes producing carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles. The alumina reduction process is described by the following reaction:



Once passed through the bath, the electrical current flows into the molten aluminum deposit and is then collected by the bottom of the pot, usually called "cathode".



The following is a schematic picture of an aluminum electrolysis cell:

The Malaysian Chinese Economic Congress passed 13 resolutions, including one calling on the Government to show greater political commitment and support for the development of genuine Chinese-bumiputra business partnerships.
MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said the resolutions, passed unanimously by leaders from various sectors and non-governmental organisations at the congress here yesterday, would be submitted as a memorandum to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The congress called on the Government to practise inclusive policies by liberalising government-linked companies (GLCs) to have multi-ethnic boards of directors and workforce.

The Government should award contracts to the best qualified local companies in their tenders, regardless of equity composition, it said.

Another resolution called for an increase in government funding for SMEs to allow them to sustain their linkages to the growing international market.

The congress also urged the Government to strengthen the public delivery system by implementing a more transparent and rapid decision-making process in accordance with the needs of the people.

In line with the Government’s efforts to reduce budget deficits, the congress supported the gradual rationalisation of subsidies and removal of price controls together with having sufficient safety nets for the poor.

The congress urged the Government to practise an open tender system in government procurement to achieve a level playing field in the local business environment, and the gradual removal of 30% Bumiputra equity in all sectors of the economy.

马华公会在2010年经济大会的提案

）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷促請首相拿督斯里納吉逐步開放經濟領域，包括石油與天然氣領域、通訊領域予非土著，讓非土著成為政府相關公司的董事局成員，並彈性處理30%土著股權的政策。

他今日（週六，8月14日）在華人經濟大會上致歡迎詞時說，為了確保新經濟模式與第十大馬計劃的成功，他建議從船運、天然氣分銷、石油化學、教育及技職培訓做出開放，讓更多的非土著成為聯營伙伴、承包商及二手承包商。

他也建議政府開放政府相關公司董事局，讓更多的非土著及國際專才加入董事局，同時開放採購系統，讓中小企業以服務和產品素質來競爭。

在政府撤銷27個服務業次領域30%的土著股權限制後，他也促請首相考慮彈性其他領域30%土著固打股權的政策，以加倍促進國內的生產總值，使人民對政府更具信心。

“我們希望“一個馬來西亞”不會只是一個政治口號。”

Wednesday, August 18, 2010蔡细历：民调不影响本分
（吉隆坡17日讯）马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历表示，有关他仅获9%华裔支持的民调并不会影响他的工作，最重要的是他做好本身的任务，为华社谋取利益。

「我每次竞选都在都不被人民看好的情况下取得胜利，因此这件事（民调偏低）不会影响到我的工作。」

他是在今午拜访精武体育会时，受询及民调指他只9%华人支持率的问题时，表示本身的政途历经大风大浪，相较之下，此调查报导不足为道。

蔡细历在前年元旦因「光碟事件」黯然下台，并辞去官职及党职，仅保留普通党员；但在数月后的马华党选中，在署理总会长三角战激战中取胜；但在去年826遭马华纪委会革除党籍，并通过去年的「双十特大」翻身，进而在今年328重选中，击退时任总会长拿督斯里翁诗杰，以及前总会长丹斯里黄家定而当上马华总会长。

询及副首相的言论时，蔡细历表示，他已通过文告来回应，并指许多事情无需通过媒体展开骂战，因为口水战无法解决问题，反而导致问题更加复杂化。

蔡细历今天也宣布马华拨10万令吉给精武体育会，充作筹建基金。他也认为，尽管武术拥有数千年的历史，但是它流传下来并非理所当然的事，需要靠有组织及系统化地去推动，而社会不仅要给予精神上的支持，更需要有物质上的支持才能成功。

曾担任过柔佛州行政议员（掌管旅游与文化）的蔡细历也感叹，国人去旅游时，不太重视参观他国的文化与博物馆，反而重视购物及饮食。

Tuesday, August 17, 2010MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek’s statement – MCA is sensitive of its role in BN but it has its role to play as a Chinese-based party
MCA is disappointed with Deputy Prime Minister and Umno Deputy President Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin bin Mohd Yassin for raising the specter of May 13 incident.

If Malaysia wants to achieve the target set up in the 10th Malaysia Plan and New Economic Model to become a high-income nation by 2020, it has to attract domestic and foreign investment.

In order to attract RM115 billion of private investment per annum under the 10th Malaysia Plan, we must ensure that our economy is competitive and vibrant.

We can only achieve the target by liberalizing sectors such as oil and gas as well as telecommunication; rationalizing subsidy and opening tender with price preference to Bumiputras.

An expanding economic cake is like rising tide that lifts all boats, so that all Malaysians will have a fair share of wealth distribution.

In a multi-racial country, growth should not be a zero-sum game as there are reasons to worry that we will continue to be trapped as a middle-income country if we do not liberalize our economy and boost investment.
At no time, we talk about the special rights of the Malay community.
We reaffirm that affirmative action should be based on needs, merits and be market-friendly.

We advocate that Bumiputras should be given price preference in certain economic sectors when the economy is liberalized for open tender.
To enable the Bumiputras to compete on a more equitable basis, hence, we propose for gradual reduction of the 30% Bumiputra equity and the introduction of price preference.

MCA is sensitive of its role within the Barisan Nasional but we have a role to play as Chinese-based party so that we can continue to be relevant.

The loyalty of the MCA towards Barisan Nasional should not be questioned as it has gone through good and bad times when Umno suffered setbacks. Back then MCA had delivered support to ensure its victory in the general elections.

The socio-economic condition in Malaysia today is totally different from that in 1969 as Malaysians are capable of having rational discussions without beating the racial war drum.

All we ask for is fair share. Rest assured the MCA has no plans or interest to deprive other communities of what is rightfully theirs.

遗憾慕尤丁重提513事件言论 蔡细历否认马华质疑土著特权
（吉隆坡17日讯）马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生今日强调，马华从未质疑我国各族群的权益，马华也不曾因为捍卫华裔权利而质疑土著特权。

他说，马华是基于国家经济发展和前景，为达到高收入经济国家的目标而提出建议，这是不能被诠释为触及他族敏感性，或被指抵触其他族群的权益。

蔡细历今日发表文告，针对副首相丹斯里慕尤丁提醒马华，不要为本身族群的奋斗而触及他族权益的问题，作出上述的反驳。

他也对副首相重提513事件感到遗憾，并指出今天我国各族人民的经济状况和社会地位，和1969年的情恍是不可同日而语。

“今天的情况和40年前已是截然不同，如今各族人民都能更理性的看待和讨论过去被视为敏感的课题，他们更了解国家的需求和现实情况。

” 他强调，华人经济大会通过的宣言也没有质疑土著特权，我们重申和关注的是，我国必须调整和采取与时并进和更开放的政策，以适应及配合全球市场自由化的脚步，这也经济大会通过逐渐收回土著拥有30%股权的硬性规定的原因。

“为确使土著有能力竞争和参与投标，马华建议为土著投标商家提供一定数额的折扣价格，这也反映马华正视和了解土著的情况；在多元种族的社会里是不能存在'零和游戏' ，我们必须扩大经济蛋糕，让每一个族群都有机会分享，这才是治国之道。

” 蔡细历指出，如果我国要在2020年成为高收入国家，每年必须吸引高达1千115亿令吉的私人投资，这才能达致第十大马计划及新经济模式所预订的目标。

他说，为确保我国经济保持竞争力，诸如开放能源及电讯领域是有必要的，此外调整物价津贴和公开招标工程也应付诸实行，同时采取积效和亲商的政策。

蔡细历表示担心，如果我国无法吸引更多外资，经济领域也缺乏自由化，结果无法达致即定的国家发展目标，那么我国将继续的陷入中等收入国的困境。

“马华了解国阵精神和所扮演的角色，我们也一直保持敏感度，但马华作为一个华基政党，它必须负起维护族群利益的任务，这样马华才能适合时宜的继续进行政治奋斗。

” 他声称，马华对国阵的忠心是不应受到质疑，因为是巫统过去在面对问题时，马华对国阵是不弃不离，马华在过去多届的大选中，也协助国阵取得耀煌胜利。

“马华要求的是公平的对待，马华绝无意剥削任何一族群所应享有的权益。”

（森美兰‧芙蓉）马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历说，尽管政府发展教育的拨款很多，可是，大马的教育制度却出现问题，造成学术水平低落，只培养“书虫”，而不是有创意及革新思维的青年。

毕业生无法达到市场要求

他指出，教育制度出现问题导致高等教育文凭至大专水平低落；根据市场评估，这些毕业生无法达到市场要求。

他建议政府全面检讨考试制度，包括小六评估考试（UPSR）、初中评估考试（PMR）及大马教育文凭考试（SPM），再以校际评估考试来找出平衡点，才不会造成学生面对太大压力，也不会只栽培出“书虫”。

蔡细历周日（8月15日）晚上出席森美兰精武体育会举办的百年精武，印象精武纪念晚宴时致词说，大马要在2020年成为高收入国，最大的挑战是有没有足够的人才。

经济措施须朝向开明方向

“根据调查，大马的技术人员只有23%，比韩国、新加坡、香港及台湾少，加上新经济政策没有提供平等机会，行政上的偏差导致人才外流。”

他认为，今日（周一，8月16日）已不是族群之间的竞争，而是面对全世界的竞争，要吸引外资就必须确保经济措施朝向开明的方向，而且只有平等的教育机会，各族群才能在不分肤色下进入国立大专，栽培更多人才。

人民无法接受民联执政两年半就腐败

蔡细历表示，国阵政府执政53年出现一些腐败情况，但是，民联政府执政两年半就出现腐败情况，这是人民无法接受的。

他坦承国阵政府不是一个完美的政府，确有腐败、贪污和滥权情况，不过，民联政府两年半就出现腐败，只要有支持信就可拿到工程。若没有错误为何要开除自己人，还要开听证会？

一个大马不是空喊口号

他说，首相纳吉提倡的一个马来西亚理念不是空喊的口号，政府会公平对待各民族，在这理念下接受多元种族，和睦共处，国家才能稳定发展。

他说，只要领导人民度过经济难关，有正确的方向，人民感受到希望，就会对政府存有好感，也会信任国家领袖所引领的方向一起迈进。

马华不逃避反映华社意愿的责任
MCA President Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek's statement - MCA will not run away from speaking up for the Chinese community

Umno Vice-President Dato' Seri Hishammuddin bin Tun Hussein's statement yesterday that MCA should not forget the struggle of Barisan Nasional when fighting for the Chinse's demands, shows that some Barisan Nasional leaders have yet to learn from the 308 General Election and do not understand the urge of the people to reform.

The results of the 308 General Election had clearly reflected the change in people's thinking, the new MCA leadership also understands that it must change to regain the people's support and trust. If some Barisan Nasional leaders continue to live in their own world, they will certainly push MCA to its doom and it will not bring the ruling coalition any good.

MCA respects the view of Dato' Seri Hishammuddin but he cannot blame MCA for deviating from the objectives and struggles of Barisan Nasional simply because MCA has a different voice from him or other component party leaders.

The new MCA leadership strongly believe that its political struggle is totally reasonable and legal. MCA will not be afraid for sharing similar views with DAP in terms of the benefit of the community and choose to run away from making a stand.

MCA will push hard for the implementation of the 13 resolutions passed during the Chinese Economic Congress held on Saturday because the resolutions are not only related to the Chinese community but also the future of the country's economic development.

MCA reckons that it has the responsibility to reflect the wishes of the Chinese community due to globalisation.Otherwise, not only MCA will lose the community's support, it will not be able to also justify its political existence.




马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历医生文告（16-8-2010）

马华不逃避反映华社意愿的责任

（吉隆坡16日讯）马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历今日严词驳斥巫统副主席希山慕丁，指一些国阵领袖时至今日仍不明白308海啸大选的启示，更不了解人民强烈求变的心态。

他说，308大选成绩清楚的反映人民思变，马华新领导层也了解必须彻底求变以挽回人民的支持和信任，如果国阵成员党领袖还采取依然故我的态度，不但牵累马华，也会让国阵继续流失选票。

蔡细历今日针对希山慕丁提醒马华，不要忘记国阵成员党达致的协议的言论发表文告。他强调，如果马华在关系到华社权益课题上不敢明确表态或据理力争，这将导致华裔选民对马华不再寄以任何希望，在来届大选也不会给予马华一个机会。
“希山慕丁可以有个人的看法，但不能因为马华的看法，和希山或其他的国阵成党领袖有所不同，就被视为是偏离了国阵奋斗目标。”他说，马华新领导层坚决认为，马华秉持的政治斗争，是合情、合理也合法，马华不能为了避免在一些课题上和行动党的看法相似，结果为了避嫌而选择保持缄默，这样的马华还能获得华裔支持吗?

蔡细历强调，马华坚持和争取落实大马华人经济大会通过的13项宣言，这些宣言不只是关系华裔族群的权益，它实际上是关系到整个马来西亚的未来经济发展和国运，马华了解华社在全球化大趋势下的诉求，马华是不能逃避反映华社意愿的责任，否则马华将失去它作为一个政治团体的存在价值。

华人经济大会‧蔡细历诉求‧废30%土著股权

---->蔡细历（右）在华人经济大会上赠送纪念品给首相纳吉。 （图：光明日报）


（吉隆坡）马华在事隔10年后，再次举办华人经济大会，马华总会长拿督斯里蔡细历在首相拿督斯里纳吉的列席下提出多项诉求，包括要求政府逐步开放上市公司的30%土著股权，以及考虑弹性处理其他领域的30%土著股权。

他也要求政府开放官联公司给非土著参与，让首相领导下的新经济模式和第10大马计划更有效落实。

蔡细历今日（周六，8月14日）在华人经济大会开幕礼，在致词时提出以上的要求之外，也要求政府自由化27个服务领域、实行公开招标政策和最低薪金制，以及增建华小等。

对于蔡细历提出的各种诉求，首相纳吉在致词时并没有具体作出回应，惟蔡细历较后透露，首相答应会尽快召见马华领袖商讨有关的诉求。

首相没具体回应

蔡细历在记者会上指出，马华领袖发现马华已超过10年没有举办经济大会，所以他在马华重选并当选总会长后，决定举办今次的华人经济大会。

他称，他们特别邀请首相亲自来开幕，并把大会上通过的数项议案拟成备忘录提呈给首相，而首相也一口答应在接过备忘录后，将会尽快召见马华领导层进行商讨。

他说，他致开幕词时提到多项政府必须逐步开放的领域和落实的措施，而政府应根据各领域的需求和绩效提供帮助，而非以种族区分。

“虽然政府在各行业和领域已逐步开放30%的土著固打，但为了让国家有更好的竞争条件，政府更需要再逐步开放。”

他强调，他并非要求政府开放所有领域的土著股权，而目前需要开放的领域是发展商和承包商。

F级发展商应开放竞标

马华总会长蔡细历提到，在国家经济逐步开放的同时，政府也要落实土著享有“价格优先系统”（Price PreferenceSystem）的措施，以避免发生“阿里峇峇文化”；即土著发展商标获发展工程后，却因为没有能力及财力等问题，而转让给非土著发展商。

他说，此措施可使土著获得竞标优势，而土著企业也有机会参与竞标，进而避免许多发展工程遭展延，而且没有公道的售价。

“目前最好的例子就是F级发展商（土著），我们认为应该同时开放给土著与非土著竞标，而土著发展商招标的价格可以比非土著发展商具有优势，价格优遇系统需经讨论后制定。”

受询制定土著享有“价格优先系统”遭人滥用的问题时，蔡细历认为，只要政府制定良好的监管系统，就不会发生此事。

“我们只要公平竞争，只有各族都发财，这个国家才能拥有财富。”

他声称，落实“价格优先系统”的同时，也必须拥有透明的基制，让有意竞标的非土著发展商，甚至各族人民确知当中的差额。

应允非土著涉石油电讯

马华总会长蔡细历说，首相纳吉应该考虑开放石油、天然气及电讯领域，让非土著参与，成为研究、建筑平台、物流、油台等的投资伙伴、发展商及承包商，协助中小型企业的发展，并使电讯领域获得全面的开发。

他在致词时指出，目前经济开放最好的例子是石油与天然气领域，包括运输、燃料供应、燃油化学研究、教育及技术的培训，这也促成大马的石油与燃料领域发展至国际水平。

“可是，比起非石油生产国如新加坡，大马中小型企业的商机还是很微小，所以需要使有关领域成熟地发展，并开创有关领域，把大马的生产总值推上高峰。”

他提到，全面开放电讯市场可使竞争增加，使电讯服务的收费降低，并提供外资更好的商业环境，尤其跨国企业可以在大马设立公司。

他称，提高电讯业的竞争力对电讯业和消费者都有利，但目前在固打制度下，电讯服务的收费非常昂贵，而国内的宽频使用率未达到预期目标。

“我们好不容易才达至40%的渗透率，相比之下，其他国家有更高的渗透率。”

蔡細歷促首相逐步開放經濟
(吉隆坡）馬華總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷促請首相拿督斯里納吉逐步開放經濟領域，包括石油與天然氣領域、通訊領域予非土著，讓非土著成為政府相關公司的董事局成員，並彈性處理30%土著股權的政策。

他今日（週六，8月14日）在華人經濟大會上致歡迎詞時說，為了確保新經濟模式與第十大馬計劃的成功，他建議從船運、天然氣分銷、石油化學、教育及技職培訓做出開放，讓更多的非土著成為聯營伙伴、承包商及二手承包商。

他也建議政府開放政府相關公司董事局，讓更多的非土著及國際專才加入董事局，同時開放採購系統，讓中小企業以服務和產品素質來競爭。

在政府撤銷27個服務業次領域30%的土著股權限制後，他也促請首相考慮彈性其他領域30%土著固打股權的政策，以加倍促進國內的生產總值，使人民對政府更具信心。

“我們希望“一個馬來西亞”不會只是一個政治口號。”

Saturday, August 14, 2010WELCOMING SPEECH BY YANG BERHORMAT DATUK SERI DR CHUA SOI LEK IN CONJUNCTION WITH MCA’S CHINESE ECONOMIC CONGRESS
14 AUGUST 2010

Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Haji Abdul RazakThe Right Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia;

Distinguished Guests, Distinguished Speakers, Ladies and Gentlemen; and a very good morning to all of you.

Welcome to the “Chinese Economic Congress” with the theme “Role of the Chinese community in achieving the NEM and 10th Malaysia Plan targets”. We are honour that YAB Dato’ Sri Najib is with us today to officiate this event. His presence here says a lot about the importance of the matters that will be discussed in this economic congress.

The NEM and the 10 Malaysian Plan are two of the 4 pillars of national transformation that will enable Malaysia to achieve the goals of Vision 2020, that is, to be a high-income economy and developed nation by 2020. The other pillars are the 1Malaysia concept and the Government Transformation Programme.

Much thoughts and efforts has gone into crafting the NEM and 10MP, and, of course, far more work needs to be done for the actual implementation.

Let us bear in mind that these are national plans, and not just the Government’s plans. This means the nation as a whole has to come together and pull in the same direction in order for the NEM and the 10MP to succeed. Our immediate priority is to jointly grow the economic pie, instead of noisily debating over which slice we deserve. Make no mistake, failure is not an option.

Sir, you have in the launching of the NEM in which you have clearly stated that the nation is need of a dramatic transformation in order for all Malaysians to achieve the next level of growth driven by innovation and competitiveness. And, I would like to congratulate the Prime Minister for his vision and far sightedness in wanting to make a better future for all Malaysians for generations to come.

We are here to ensure that the transformation is successful and the targets for both the NEM and the 10th Malaysia Plan are met. The end result will be beneficial to the rakyat in general and in the process to further improve the rakyat’s confidence in the Government.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

1)Liberalization of the economy

For a country to achieve accelerated growth, one needs to liberalize the economy. One of the better examples of sectors is the liberalisation of the oil and gas sector which encompasses areas as such shipping, distribution of gas, petrochemicals, education and vocational/technical training, and so on. Our oil and gas sector has reached a stage in which we are already an established player in the global stage. Yet the opportunities for the SMEs are still small compared to other countries including non-oil producing nations like Singapore. Therefore, given the maturity of the sector, the opening up of the sector will boost the country’s GDP by many folds.

As such, sir, I sincerely urge you to consider liberalizing the Malaysia’s oil and gas sector, and allow many more of our non-Bumiputera investors to be joint-venture partners, contractors and sub-contractors in areas such as exploration, platform constructions, logistics, deep-sea operations and others.

Another area that needs to be liberalized is also the telecommunication sector. The incumbent players have been operating for a few decades now. With the full opening of the sector, increased in competition actually augurs well for both the operators and the consumers. With protectionism, rates of telecommunication services offered are high. Thus the country’s broadband usage is less than desired. We are hardly touching the 40% penetration rate as compared to the higher levels achieved by other countries. Full liberalisation of the market will see competition bringing down telecommunication services’ rates. This provides a better business environment for foreign companies especially the MNCs to set up their businesses here.

2)The Role of the GLCs in the NEM

The GLCs make up nearly 40% of the value of the Bursa and there is no denying that they dominate the private sector in the economy terms of their assets and capitalization. GLCs has been instrumental in helping the Bumiputera Business Community to flourish – to give them a head start to form a core cluster of Bumi entrepreneurs to which it is to spin off, mentor and nurture others to be equally competitive and to be confident in the global stage.

But at the same time, it must be recognized that Malaysia is just a small market with 26 million people. As such, GLCs must take the bold step to venture regionally and/or globally like CIMB bank. CIMB has expanded its financial wings to Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and is doing very well in South East Asia.

However, to be regionally and globally competitive, we need to make sure that the best talent remains in our shores. I encourage more GLCs to open up their Board of Directors to include more non-Bumiputeras as well as international expertise. It is important also that GLCs open up their procurement system to include competitive SMEs based the quality of their service and products that they offer. Rather than based on race or, equity requirement.

3)Open Tender System

Likewise, we call for greater transparency in our tendering process. Closed tender systems have always been associated with corruption and kickbacks. Quality of projects would also be compromised. This does not go down well with the good governance which the government is trying to project. Vying for open tender system not only remove accusations and talks of corrupted administration but also lowers the cost of projects.

We hold the opinion that all the public procurement should be open to all local SMEs, provided with equal access and opportunities. Under the 9th Malaysia Plan, over RM1 billion was allocated for SME development alone. Bank Negara estimated the number of SMEs in the country at about 600,000.

The importance of the SMEs is recognized by the government. The NEAC report stated that SMEs currently make up 35% of Malaysia’s GDP and 20% of its exports. If the future procurements were to be opened to the SMEs, the SMEs would account for much more than the current 35% of the GDP. If the value of the SMEs were to double, they will account for over 50% of the country’s GDP.

Following upon your decision in relaxing the 30% Bumiputera equity requirement for IPOs as well as the liberalization of the 27 services sub-sectors I urge you, sir in similarly consider to be flexible in implementing the 30% Bumiputera equity in other sectors.

Rather than enforcing the 30% bumi equity requirement across the board, a more flexible system in the form of a Margin of Preference system should be implemented on a sector by sector basis.

In the days of traditional economic structure, when capital and land are the major economic input, we can insist upon a certain percentage of equity distribution and still be fairly successful.

But we are now in the age of knowledge economy, where brain power in the forms of innovation and creativity, is the major (if not sole) requirement. If a talented investor, weather local or foreign, wants to start a new venture to design and manufacture a product based on his innovation for the new IT generation consumers in Malaysia, we cannot insist that he shares 30% of his creativity with us. He is talented and can go to any other part of the world to pursue his dreams. Instead we should offer him all the assistance he needs so that he can come to Malaysia, create high-paying jobs and help propel us to being a high-income economy

Ladies and Gentlemen,

4)Merit –Based and Needs – based System

Fundamentally, the Malaysian Chinese have been and still are very understanding and loyal citizens. Globalization has presented Malaysians many opportunities but it has also forced us to continue to be a competitive nation. Malaysians cannot remain globally competitive unless we go a merit-based system.

On the other hand, we must inculcate a caring society in which, the poor must be looked after. The NEM has pointed out that the bottom 40% of households earn less than RM1,500 per month. Thus, it is clear that preferential treatment must be given according needs rather, than race.

5)Retaining and Attracting Talent

Ladies and Gentlemen,

To achieve high income nation status, the NEM sets out a couple of primary thrust and enablers to move the economy up the value chain and also to address the persistent socio-economic inequalities. Amongst the enablers is to develop a quality workforce and reducing dependency on the foreign labour. In order to retain our talent pool in the country, we must recognize their contribution to the nation – to make sure that they are rewarded according to their merits.

Therefore, at this juncture, I would like to applaud Y.A.B. Dato Sri’s recent decision to offer scholarships to all students, regardless of race who scored 9A+ in their SPM examinations. This is truly in the 1Malaysia spirit.

This shows the Government’s efforts to develop human capital. Dont forget high achievers are in fact hidden talents and assets to a nation. Elevating and improving the level of education in the country also mean paying more attention to vernacular schools.

Approximately 20% of Malaysia’s total trade over the last couple of years is with countries that adopt Mandarin as its main language. Total trades of the primary countries that use Mandarin as its mother tongue have been estimated at over US$2.5 trillion per annum. Malaysia’s trade with these countries in turn accounts for only 2% of their total trade. This goes to show that the importance of this potential to date has been way underestimated. Given our multi lingual and multi cultural society, we believe Malaysia has yet to tap into the full potential of these trading nations.

The great strategist Sun Tzu has been frequently quoted on this where he said that whoever is first in the battle field and awaits the coming of the “competitors” will be fresh for the fight. Whoever trails behind in the field will arrive exhausted, having to hasten to battle.

Thus, with more schools, we would be able to produce more students from these vernacular schools. Only then we are able to generate workforce conversant in Mandarin, in order to be able to seize the opportunities offered in the global markets.

Not only are additional schools required to cater for future demand and population growth but more importantly to ease the current overcrowding problem which we have been combating exhaustively over the last few years.

To add to the problem, the number of students in the Chinese schools is expected to increase by an additional 65,000 over the next five years.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

6)Rationalisation of Subsidy, Minimum Wage and Skilled Workers

In Malaysia, only 23% of workers (11 million) are skilled workers with including those with higher education degree. We are one of the countries with the least qualified workers in the region. Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan have about 40% skilled workers. Lack of skill and qualified workers in Malaysia is impending economic progress and do not attract FDI.

Malaysia is addicted to cheap foreign workers. Study by the Human Resources Ministry show that 34% of 1.3 million works earn less than RM700 per month, below poverty of RM720 per month. What is worrying is World Bank Study on wage trend in Malaysia recorded only an annual 2.6% growth during the last 10 years. The influx of foreign workers depresses the wage increase of local workers.

To accelerate the process of reducing the reliance on foreign labour, MCA here calls for the execution of a minimum wage policy on a sectoral and regional basis. Over 90% of the countries in the world already have legislations in place on minimum wage but Malaysia is still lagging behind.

The setting up of a minimal wage system is in line with MCA’s calls for rationalisation of subsidy. Subsidy cut is a must to prevent distortion in the allocation of the country. Implementation of subsidy reduction schemes cannot stand alone as it needs to be complemented with a minimal wage system, to offset negative impact of the reduction in subsidy.

The activation of the Minimum Wage Council now is therefore looking more and more appropriate as the current situation we are in, seems to be calling for one. At this point, that our businesses can no longer win market share by trying to be the cheapest producers of goods or providers of services. In a globalised world, such an edge is only fleeting.

Lasting competitive advantage today has to come from productivity-led growth and innovation. The 10MP includes Government measures to create an environment in which the creativity, energy and initiative of private enterprises can be nurtured and harnessed.

On that note, I believe the Chinese Economic Congress held today is most timely. We need to ensure we know each and everyone’s role, to be able to tap into each’s forte to ensure that the NEM and 10th Malaysia Plan are executed efficiently to achieve the targets already set out. There is no denying the road ahead would undoubtedly be tough indeed but I have full confidence that under your leadership at the end of the day, we will see bright light at the end of the tunnel.

I acknowledge that the business community has certain expectations of what the Government should and should not do. In the overall scheme of things, 10 years is a mere blink of an eye. But for Malaysia, the next decade may well prove to be a crucial phase in our nation’s history.

As we can see from the audience today that have patronised this Economic Congress, the Chinese community is well represented here with a significant number of Chinese organizations coming out in full force to ascertain its role in ensuring the targets are met as per the theme of today’s Economic Congress.

Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Sri, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Before I end, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you and congratulate the organizing committee and those involved for the hard work rendered in organising this event successfully.

Also, permit me to end with a couple of ancient sayings by Confucius for you audience to ponder. We should “better be a diamond with flaws rather than a pebble without”. Also, “only the wisest and stupidest of men never change” and for one “to know what is right and not to do it, is the worst type of cowardice”.

So we intend to change for the better and to do what is right. We can start off with this Congress where we can brainstorm, learn of our roles and how we can help in ensuring the target of becoming a high income advanced nation can be met.

Once again, thank you.

2010年七月十八日，位于上海世界最大的单一站式的综合光电系统(光伏建筑一体化BIPV)开始通过点路网供应电源显示中国对减少碳放所作出的 承诺
这座能产生6680千瓦电能及年产630万千瓦时的太阳能发电站足以供应电能给于一万两千户的上海住家，同时也可节省一年2250屯的碳消费，减掉6600屯的碳放量。
发电站是建在位于上海虹桥的京泸高速铁道站，由两万片太阳能电板组成发电设备是装置在铁道站的两旁总面积六万一千平方米积屋顶。这耗资一亿六千人民币投的太阳能发电站投入服务以来已产生了30万千瓦时的电量。



The world's largest stand alone integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) project started transmitting power to the grid in Shanghai on Sunday in another move showcasing China's commitment to reduced carbon emissions.

The 6.68-megawatt solar system can produce 6.3 million kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity per year to meet the needs of 12,000 Shanghai households. It will cut coal consumption by 2,254 tons, while reducing carbon emissions by 6,600 tons.

The project has been installed on the awnings on both sides of the newly completed Hongqiao Station of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. Its 20,000 solar panels cover a roof area of 61,000 sq m and have produced 300,000 kwh power since the 160 million-yuan project began operation two weeks ago.

"The project is another manifestation of China's commitment to reducing carbon emissions to fight climate change. It comes after the country set a voluntary target of cutting carbon intensity per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent by 2020," said Yu Hailong, general manager of the Beijing-based China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP), the project's developer.

"As a pilot project, it will help stimulate the development of solar energy in China and promote the construction of more environmentally friendly railway stations," he said.

Chief engineer of the Ministry of Railway Zheng Jian said China will further encourage BIPV implementation at railway stations, which serve as an ideal vehicle to promote the technology.

A 2.2-MV BIPV system has also been installed at the Wuhan Station of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway. The system was connected to the national grid in May, CECEP deputy manager Chen Shuguang said.

"BIPV technology does not take up extra space, because it is integrated into buildings' design and construction. It is especially suitable for China's eastern areas, where there are limited land resources yet greater energy demand," Chen said.

The development of renewable energy has been topping the central government's agenda. It aims to have an installed capacity of 20 gigawatts of solar units and 100 gigawatts of wind power by 2020, official statistics show.

A number of world-class pilot projects have been completed this year in Shanghai, which is hosting the World Expo 2010.

They include the 4.6-MV solar energy generation system installed in the Expo Garden and China's first offshore wind farm, the 102-MV Donghai Bridge wind power project, which started transmitting electricity to the national grid in early July.

The government is also tendering for bids to develop 13 solar power projects with a combined capacity of 280 megawatts in the western regions, following last year's bidding for a 10-megawatt solar power plant in Gansu province's Dunhuang.

But Song Aizhen, of the solar energy branch of CECEP, said the government needs to come up with more detailed subsidy plans for renewable energies to encourage more active corporate investment.

"Take solar energy for instance - its cost is already three times that of thermal power, and BIPV technologies are even more expensive," she said.

"So government subsidies will be crucial to the technology's wider application

World’s Largest Solar Power Plants With Thermal Storage To Be Built In Arizona
Joe Romm, 24 Apr 09
What's the easiest way to deal with the intermittency of many renewable sources of energy? Cheap storage. And what form of storage is much cheaper and has a much higher round-trip efficiency than electric storage? Thermal storage.
That's a key reason concentrated solar-thermal power (CSP) is a core climate solution. It has the most potential of any zero-carbon electricity since it can most easily be integrated with thermal storage -- technology that is available today, as made clear by this just announced 200-MW plant Albiasa Solar of Spain will build in Arizona:




Albiasa officials said they planned to use molten salt to store heat from the plant so it can keep generating power after sunset.

That also is the plan for Solana Generating Station, a 280-megawatt solar-thermal plant planned for Gila Bend by Abengoa Solar Inc. of Spain.

APS announced that it would buy the energy from that power plant once it is running in 2011. Last year, officials said they were struggling to get financing for the project, but APS spokesman Steven Gotfried said Friday the plans were moving forward.


The ability to provide power reliably throughout the day and evening in key locations around the world (including China and India) is why CSP delivers 3 of the 12 - 14 wedges needed for “nuclear needs a place for its waste, which CSP doesn't, and nuclear has obvious production bottlenecks and takes forever to build safely, which CSP doesn't).

Moreover, unlike nuclear, the world hasn't really built many CSP plants until very recently, so costs are projected to drop steadily down the experience curve for new technology in the coming decade thanks to economies of scale and technology learning. As the 2006 report “Economic, Energy, and Environmental Benefits of Concentrating Solar Power in California,” for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, by Black & Veatch concluded:

A comparison of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) revealed that the LCOE of $148 per MWh [14.8 c/kwh] for the first CSP plants installed in 2009 is competitive with the simple cycle combustion turbine at an LCOE of $168 per MWh, assuming that the temporary 30 percent Investment Tax Credit is extended.
The ITC was extended 8 years in the bailout bill. And this analysis was really aimed at 2015 costs:

CSP plants installed in 2015 are projected to exhibit a delivered LCOE of $115/MWh, compared with $168/MWh for the simple cycle combustion turbine and $104/MWh for combined cycle plants. At a natural gas price of about $8 per MMBtu, the LCOE of CSP and the combined cycle plants at 40 percent capacity factor are equal.
And that is without a carbon price.

Look out nukes and dirty coal, the future is here!

高炉炼铁

http://www.zidonghua.com.cn/hygc/yj/gl.html

　　高炉炼铁生产是冶金(钢铁)工业最主要的环节之一。高炉冶炼是把铁矿石还原成生铁的连续生产过程。铁矿石、焦炭和熔剂等固体原料按规定配料比由炉顶装料装置分批送入高炉，并使炉喉料面保持一定的高度。焦炭和矿石在炉内形成交替分层结构。矿石料在下降过程中逐步被还原、熔化成铁和渣，聚集在炉缸中，定期从铁口、渣口放出。 高炉生产是连续进行的。一代高炉（从开炉到大修停炉为一代）能连续生产几年到十几年

高炉:炼铁一般是在高炉里连续进行的。高炉又叫鼓风炉，这是因为要把热空气吹入炉中使原料不断加热而得名的。这些原料是铁矿石、石灰石及焦炭。因为碳比铁的性质活泼，所以它能从铁矿石中把氧夺走，而把金属铁留下。

　　高炉冶炼目的：将矿石中的铁元素提取出来，生产出来的主要产品为铁水。付产品有：水渣、矿渣棉和高炉煤气等。


　　高炉冶炼原理简介：

　　高炉生产是连续进行的。一代高炉（从开炉到大修停炉为一代）能连续生产几年到十几年。生产时，从炉顶（一般炉顶是由料种与料斗组成，现代化高炉是钟阀炉顶和无料钟炉顶）不断地装入铁矿石、焦炭、熔剂，从高炉下部的风口吹进热风（1000～1300摄氏度），喷入油、煤或天然气等燃料。装入高炉中的铁矿石，主要是铁和氧的化合物。在高温下，焦炭中和喷吹物中的碳及碳燃烧生成的一氧化碳将铁矿石中的氧夺取出来，得到铁，这个过程叫做还原。铁矿石通过还原反应炼出生铁，铁水从出铁口放出。铁矿石中的脉石、焦炭及喷吹物中的灰分与加入炉内的石灰石等熔剂结合生成炉渣，从出铁口和出渣口分别排出。煤气从炉顶导出，经除尘后，作为工业用煤气。现代化高炉还可以利用炉顶的高压，用导出的部分煤气发电。 【查看全文】

电量单位的正确使用

我们要与世界节轨，要与时并进就要对数字搞清楚。数字搞不清楚，哪有卓越文化，希望大家不要要一错再错。

最近非常关注接进完功的巴贡水灞的报道。我对于本地华文报章所报导的2400兆瓦电量感到惊奇因这与英文报章所报导的的2400megawatt有很大的差别。Mega在英文是指百万如再乘上2400就是二千四百百万也就是24亿瓦。五经算术里有到万万曰亿，万亿曰兆，那2400兆瓦就是英文的2400tegawatt，一共有15个位数。

根据我在网上所获取到的资料，在汉字文化圈的不同地方对兆有不同的定义或用法。中国大陆及港澳地区将一兆默认为一百万，有六个位数(10^6)。而台湾，韩国，日本，新加玻地区多认为一万亿有十二个位数(10^12)。

百度百科的一段关于巴贡水灞文章有写着[巴贡水灞发电站装有8组发电机，装机总容量240万千瓦]=24百百关瓦也就是24亿符合了英文的2400megawatt。

互动百科的一段关于三峡水灞水电站章文有写着三峡电站总装机容量已在2008年10月29日完成最后一台机组（右岸15号）安装后，达到了1851万千瓦。

兆这数目不仅在科技报导上有用到，在财经报道也有用到。比如日本的经济新闻最进有作出这样的报道，2010年46月以美元计算日本的国内総生产是次于中国，根据日本内阁的推算，这期间日本的国内総生产是1兆2883亿美元而中国的是1兆3369亿美元。基本上看来中国已超越日本成为仅次于美国的世界第二大经济体。

还有最进一所位于中国的经济研究机构所发表的报告也有提到中国现在拥有1兆5000亿美元储备金，即将将迎上日本成为世界第二大的经济体。因此中国和日本在财经报导方面，于兆的用法是一样的。

Bakun , the significant Benchmark

The Bakum dam construction work has come to the final stage and is expected to
start operating soon. What is the implication of the Bakun power projects which
is capable of generating 2400 megawatts when in fully operational to us?

Is this a bench mark to show that we are beginning to move towards the New
Economic Model (MBE) which amongst other emphasize on innovation and creativity
to raise the income of our nation.

As all of us know energy is an important element in our daily life, especially for
the world's major manufacturing countries such as Malaysia.

One of Malaysia's attraction to foreign investors is the country's electricity
supply service which is not only cheap but also reliable. Malaysia's electricity
tariffs is one of the lowest in the region as a result of substantial amount of
subsidies financed by the Malaysian government

But in time of comfort we must also plan for sustainable development. we can not
rely on subsidies forever. The Chinese proverb says do not dig the well only
to quench the thirs. We need to find alternatives to prevent us from crisis, so the
country can continue to grow.

The Construction of hydro-electric project is implemented according to the
principle of sustainable growth and green technology. Water is a renewable source
of energy because it rains throughout the year in our country.

In long run the Bakun project will enables us to acquire reliable electricity
power supply at low cost .This in turn will attract foreign and local investors to establish their industries here.As a result more job will be created to increase national income.

Apart from that ,the Bakun dam will also serve as flood mitigation system to prevent flood during the monsoon season. This will make the life of farmers and residents in the vicinity more secure.

A good government not only concerned about the daily life of the people, but also
able to plan through creativity and innovation to ensure that the nation can
continue to grow in the era which is full of competition and uncertainty.

Bakun mampu jadi mangkin MBE

Kerja pembinaan empangan Bakum sudah sampai ke peringkat hujung dan stesen jana elektrik Bakun dijangka akan mula beroperasi tidak lama lagi. Apakah implikasi projek janakuasa Bakun yang mampu menjana 2400 megawatt apablila beroperasi penuh kepada kita?

Adakah ini satu penanda yang menunjukkan bahawa kita mula menjejak langkah ke arah Model Baru Ekonomi (MBE) yang antaranya mementingkan daya inovatif dan kreatif sebagai langkah untuk meningikan taraf hidup rakyat?

Sebagaimana yang kita semua tahu tenaga adalah merupakan unsur yang penting dalam kehidupan harian , khasnya bagi negara pembuatan utama dunia seperti Malaysia.

Untuk makluman salah satu tarikan Malaysia kepada pelabur asing adalah perkhidmatan ekalan eletrik negara yang bukan sahaja murah tetapi juga paling stabil. Tarif elektrik Malaysia adalah yang paling rendah di rantau ini akibat subsidi jumlah besar yang diberikan oleh kerajaan ke atas bahan api.

Tetapi masa kita dalam keadaaan selesa kita pun mesti ingat panjang panjang, kita tidak boleh bergantung selama-lamanya kepada subsidi. Perpatah Cina ada mengatakan 'jangan korek perigi hanya pada saat dahaga'. Kita perlu cari alternatif untuk mengelakan kita dari kegawatan, supaya negara dapat terus berkembang.

Pembinaan projek hidro-elektrik memang adalah sesuatu yang dilaksanakan berdasarkan prinsip embangunan berterusan (sustainable) dan teknologi hijau. Air adalah merupakan sumber tenaga yang boleh diperbarui, kerana hujan turun sepanjang tahun di negara kita.

Dengan siapnya projek Bakun, kadar elektrik yang murah dan stabil dapat dibekalkan di sini dan menarik pelabur asing dan tempatan untuk mendirikan industri. Ini seterusnya dapat menjana peluang pekerjaan dan menambah pendapatan negara.

Selain daripada itu empangan Bakun juga dapat berfungsi sebagai pencegah banjir pada waktu monsun melalui sistem pengawalan airnya. Ini adalah baik untuk petani dan penghuni yang duduk di sekitanya.

Kerajaan yang cekap bukan sahaja mengambil berat terhadap kehidupan harian rakyat, tetapi juga mampu merancang dengan cara yang kreatif dan innovative untuk memastikan negara dapat terus berkembang dalam zaman yang penuh dengan saingan dan ketidakpastian.

巴貢水壩對能源領域成長扮要角

http://www.kuchingren.com/viewthread.php?tid=10504&page=1&authorid=1771
(吉隆坡17日訊)儘管砂拉越的巴貢水壩(Bakun Dam)受到抗議和引起爭議，但部份分析員相信這計劃對能源領域的成長扮演重大角色。
當巴貢水壩完成後，它將會是區內除了中國之外的最大水壩。近期，由於對原住民的家園造成影響，所以該計劃吸引了媒體和環境保護論者的注目。
為了興建2400百萬瓦特的巴貢水壩和其他水力發電廠，原住民必須搬離他們的家園。
MIDF研究主管祖基費裡表示，假設巴貢水壩以每單位11仙供應1700百萬瓦特，它每年將能夠帶來接近16億令吉的營收。
利多於弊
雖然環境上面對風險而引起爭議，他相信該計劃將如期進行，其中利多於弊。
「水力發電證明了成本效率和穩定性。不像煤炭，水力發電是可再生的能源。」能源、綠色科技及水務部長拿督陳華貴指出，政府承諾確保計劃順利推展，預期全面在2012年完成。
僑豐投資銀行研究主管吳保雲認為，巴貢水壩預期能夠在2011年開始生產電源，供應給砂拉越。「在2015年的時候，它將能夠輸出電源到半島。」
依據祖其費透露，超額供應並不成問題，因為大馬將能夠把電源輸出和供應給鄰國。在03年，東盟大國的能源設施當局對東盟聯繫的大藍圖進行研究，促使一份電源連繫在07年至2020年設立的建議書浮現。
巴貢水壩將需要在海底舖設電纜，以輸電至砂拉越之外，並成為部份能夠互相連接的能源中心。
他指出，針對要跨越印尼海域的海底電纜，相信雙方政府會在有需要的時候簽署諒解備忘錄，而工程是否成功，將有賴兩國的關係。
巴貢水壩計劃是在97年的亞洲金融風暴暫停後，再重新展開。一路以來，成本因素都是阻擋工程展開和建材價格上揚的最大問題。
祖基費裡預測，只是巴貢水壩本身的成本，不包含海底電纜之下，將達60億令吉。
「就如其他大型計劃，成本超額都是難以避免的事情，但是卻還是能夠被減低。」
吳保雲則透露，連繫水壩到半島的海底電纜，成本預計大約是90億令吉。
他認為，相比於煤炭、天然氣或燃油發電的水壩，巴貢水壩營運成本較低，惟建築成本卻更高。

The Phenomenal Universe

http://www.thebuddhadharma.com/issues/2006/fall/phenomenal.html

The Phenomenal Universe
of the Flower Ornament Sutra
The Huayan, or Flower Ornament Sutra, with its vivid metaphors and extravagant visions, is not widely known in the West, yet it has had a profound and lasting impact on the way Zen and Chan Buddhism are practiced. Taigen Dan Leighton explores the sutra’s teachings on interconnectedness and the inspiration that it holds for practitioners today.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Chinese Huayan Buddhism is considered by many Buddhist scholars to be one of the highpoints of Mahayana thought, even of world philosophy.

The Huayan worldview—which emphasizes interconnectedness and employs provocative holographic metaphors such as Indra’s Net—is a fascinating, illuminating resource that can be very useful to contemporary Buddhist practitioners, even though very few know much about it. It was hardly predominant in ancient times either. The major Huayan commentators were active in China for a relatively brief period—from the sixth to ninth centuries—and their profound, dense, and challenging writings were never widely read. Furthermore, the school they established in China never achieved any lengthy institutional prominence, and in Japan, Huayan barely survives formally today as the Kegon school. Nevertheless, Huayan—with its intricate dialectical philosophy—provides the philosophical underpinning for Zen and much of the rest of popular East Asian Buddhism and its offshoots in the West. As a result, Huayan perspectives, and the practical instructions that grow out of them, have an enduring influence and applicability to modern Buddhist practice.

The Flower Ornament Sutra
The starting point for Huayan Buddhism is the extravagant, lengthy Flower Ornament Sutra, or Avatamsaka Sutra in Sanskrit, considered the most elevated scripture by the Huayan school. (Avatamsaka is translated as Huayan in Chinese, which is read as Kegon in Japanese.) The Chinese Huayan school features intricate, didactic philosophical speculations, illustrated with fascinating metaphors inspired by the sutra. Yet the Flower Ornament Sutra itself is a very different type of literature. It consists of highly sumptuous visions that offer a systematic presentation of the stages of development and unfolding of the practice activities of bodhisattvas. This sutra is sometimes described as Shakyamuni Buddha’s very first awareness upon his great enlightenment, which was too lofty for anyone else at that time to hear. Over 1,600 pages in Thomas Cleary’s translation, the Flower Ornament Sutra is a samadhi text, designed to inspire luminous visions and exalted experiences of mind and reality through its use of lush, psychedelic, evocative imagery.

Because of the book’s length, but also because of its unique quality as a text, most practitioners need some guidance on how to read the Flower Ornament Sutra, as it may seem impenetrable at first glance. This is not a book to read to gain intellectual comprehension. Rather, the cumulative impact of its profuse imagery inspires heightened states of samadhi, or concentrated meditative awareness. This effect can best be appreciated by bathing in the imagery, as if listening to a symphony, rather than trying to decipher a textbook. Reciting it aloud, by oneself or together with a small circle of practice friends, is a traditional approach.

Also, this extensive sutra doesn’t need to be read in its entirety to experience its impact. Of the thirty-nine chapters, two stand out as inspiring, independent sutras in their own right. One is the chapter on the ten stages, or grounds (the Dasabhumika Sutra in Sanskrit), one of the earliest Mahayana sutras, which details the ten stages of development of bodhisattvas before buddhahood, even the first of which is quite lofty.

The other sutra is the final chapter, the “Entry into the Realm of Reality” (Gandhavyuha Sutra in Sanskrit), which relates the journey of the pilgrim Sudhana to a sequence of fifty-three different bodhisattva teachers. These great bodhisattvas present a democratic vision of dharma, as they include women and men, laypeople and priests, beggars and kings and queens. The chapter culminates with Sudhana’s entry into the inconceivably vast tower of Maitreya Bodhisattva, the next future buddha—a lofty, mind-boggling episode that even the special-effects wizardry of George Lucas and his colleagues could not begin to capture. Maitreya’s tower, as extensive as all of space, contains a vast number of equally spacious towers overflowing with amazing sights, each without interfering with the space of any of the others.

Although these two sutras within a sutra stand out, any chapter of the larger Flower Ornament Sutra can serve as an entryway to its awareness because of the holographic quality of the text, in which each part fully exemplifies the whole. This interfusion of the particular with the totality is the heart of the Huayan philosophy and practice. The larger sutra is replete with myriad buddhas and bodhisattvas, described as filling every grass tip or atom. But the primary buddha of the Flower Ornament Sutra is Vairocana, the Reality Body Buddha (dharmakaya in Sanskrit) whose body is the equivalent of the entire phenomenal universe, which is known in Buddhism as the dharmadhatu. Vairocana is also the primary buddha in many mandalas in Vajrayana, or tantric Buddhism.

The heroic bodhisattva most prominently featured in the sutra is Samantabhadra (Puxian in Chinese; Fugen in Japanese), whose name means “universal virtue.” Often depicted riding an elephant, Samantabhadra, with his calm dignity, specializes in performing devotional observances and in artistic, aesthetic expressions of the sacred. He also resolutely practices the bodhisattva vow through accomplishing many varieties of helpful projects, each aimed at benefiting all beings and engaging the societal systems of the world. As a result, Samantabhadra can serve as a great encouragement and resource both for artists and for modern “engaged” Buddhism and its renewal of Buddhist societal ethics.

Masyarakat Malaysia kurang hargai kehebatan hasil seni pelukis tempatan

2010/08/06


KETIKA mengunjungi Kompleks Kraf Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini, saya rasa kurang selasa kerana pakaian dibasahi hujan. Namun, dua pelukis tempatan yang hanya saya kenali sebagai Salleh dan Rahim Mat masih mampu menghasilkan potret yang penuh keperibadian dan bernyawa melalui lukisan mereka.

Apabila saya bertanya bagaimana menghasilkannya? Jawapan mereka ialah kesungguhan dan kuasa penglihatan ketiga atau third eye power yang ada pada mereka.
Kunjungan saya ke kompleks itu sesuatu yang bermanfaat dan memberikan kenangan paling manis. Selepas melihat pameran, saya makan roti jala Kedah di tempat jamu selera sambil berbual dengan sekumpulan pelukis yang bertapak di kompleks itu.

Saya tertarik dengan persembahan seni lukis yang mereka tunjukkan pada masa itu dan meminta mereka melukis potret saya.

Perjumpaan saya dengan kumpulan pelukis itu memang memperluaskan pengetahuan dan pengalaman dalam bidang seni lukis.

Kerja yang dihasilkan pelukis profesional bukan sekadar gambar tetapi seni bernilai tinggi yang merakamkan peristiwa istimewa. Lukisan juga adalah satu media komunikasi yang menghuraikan keperibadian dan suasana melalui pandangan ketiga pelukis.
Ia juga dapat membawa perutusan penting dan menyampaikan hasrat individu atau masyarakat.

Masa yang diambil untuk menghasilkan lukisan sangat panjang selama beberapa hari malah berpuluh tahun berbanding fotografi digital, namun nilainya memang tidak dapat diukur.

Seni lukis adalah bahagian rohani yang tidak terpisah daripada kehidupan harian kita dan daya dorongan inovatif, dalam erti kata lain ia melambangkan jiwa sesebuah negara.

Perkembangan seni lukis juga ada kaitan dengan perkembangan ekonomi dan sosial sesebuah tamadun. Umpamanya hasil seni lukis cemerlang yang paling banyak dihasilkan di China adalah pada zaman kegemilangan Tang, Song dan Ming.

Tidak dapat dinafikan banyak insentif dan bantuan diberi kerajaan untuk pembangunan seni lukis di negara ini, tetapi kesedaran khalayak terhadap nilai dan kepentingan seni lukis masih rendah dan ini adalah gejala yang sangat membimbangkan.

Kita mesti mengambil tindakan segera membangkitkan kesedaran rakyat terhadap nilai seni untuk mencapai pembangunan yang seimbang dan berterusan.
