It is easy to side with the Rohingyas  as we see them being displaced and even persecuted by some Myanmarese and often led by right wing extremist Buddhist groups. Anyone who visited their ghettos in Myanmar would be appalled. Before we blame Myanmar, the government and the people, for the atrocities, i t is necessary to try and understand how/why there is so much hatred , which led to the inhumanity we currently are witnessing. Trying to understand the situation is important to make sense of the probable workable solutions. You cannot just throw the ball here and there.

We do not quite have a proper unemployment index ... because our safety nets are almost non-existent (except for relatively cheap public health care, but got to wait la). When a country has some sort of unemployment benefits, we can then keep better track of the real unemployment figure. Hence it was "good" to receive this email. It is at best an indicative figure, but better than nothing. --------------------------------- Dear all Monster.com , one of the largest online employment sites globally, today announced the release of the  first ever   Monster Employment Index (MEI)  in Malaysia, reporting an overall decline by 23% in online employment activities across the country.

I love my coffee, but I am also aware how artisanal (meaning arty-farty) it has become. I like good coffee, or great coffee ... but at times, coffee is just really just coffee. Still like my Nescafe and local coffees.
