MH370 was in route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it

In six months, many people try to search for MH370. Eight
countries have been contributes which are Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia,
New Zealand, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States. The
investigation is being led by the Malaysian authorities, who are also linking
with the FBI, Interpool and other international law enforcement agencies. The
underwater search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is leading by the
Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB).
Recently, Australian officials said they are confident that
they are searching the right area for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The
operation will now be focused in the southern end of the Indian Ocean search
zone that a new analysis of data shows the plane.
Deputy PM Warren Trust said officials were

likely to end by June 2016. Meanwhile, "We have a high level of confidence
that we are searching in the right area", said Assistant Minister for

Vape Liquids
Vape is inhale and exhale the vapor produced by an electronic
cigarette or similar device. Before this, vape is used as substitute of
cigarette. Actually, it can helps smoker to stop from smoking. But in this modern
technology, the vape liquids had transfer become more dangerous. At first, the
ingredients of vape liquids just flavour of fruits. Then, it slowly added with
toxins and nicotine.
Apart from that, Inspector-General of
Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said those found using drug-filled vape liquids
will be charged under the Dangerous Drugs Act if the vapers are found to be
taking drugs. This show that, the ingredients of vape liquids had improved from
time to time.
In my opinion, why not we go back to
launch an anti-smoking campaign called 'Tak Nak'. It is more effective than
change cigarettes to vape liquids. We can advertise and campaign it on
billboards, posters, television advertisements, and radio. The 'Tak Nak'
Campaign advertising creates media awareness among the public, especially among
the fashionable young crowd, that smokers have yellowed teeth and suffer from
shortness of breath and tells them that it is not cool to smoke. It is also not
responsible of them to affect non-smokers with second-hand smoke.
Also, there is a succession of
infomercials on TV and in the papers showing the weakening effects of tobacco
addiction on the body and gruesome statistics of smoke-related deaths. We are
now familiar with the graphic pictures of damaged lungs on billboards which
would scare people into not smoking.
Smoking and vaping is dangerous to your
health. If you have started smoking and vaping, say 'Tak Nak' and quit! And if
you have not started, do not, because we all know that smoking and vaping not
only damages your health but you are also literally burning your money.

Ways of improving discipline in schools
Nowadays, many people complain about the lack of discipline in schools. As we leaf through the newspapers, we often read about gang fights in schools, smoking among students, truancy and vandalism of school property.
One of the ways of eradicating problems related to bad discipline in schools is to counsel problem students who create disciplinary
problems such as habitual truancy, dropping out of school or bullying. By counseling these troubled students regularly, experienced counsellors can encourage them to air their troubles and can then get to the root of the problem.
Most of these students are emotionally unbalanced and have low self-confidence. By helping them recover their self-esteem and their self-worth, the counsellors play an important role in helping them become more emotionally stable. Thus, they will be able to see things from a more disciplined and mature perspective.
Another way of decreasing disciplinary problems is to encourage participation in extra-curricular activities. This will ensure that free time after school is well-used by students. Through participating in sports activities, clubs and societies, they gain a sense of togetherness and learn good moral values such as cooperation, honesty, leadership and independence. This in turn means they will be more disciplined, take pride in their school and not cause disciplinary problems.
If all these steps are implemented firmly and fairly, no problems of discipline should arise. As such, school can be a safe and conducive place for learning and students can thrive in such an environment.

KTM Komuter train fares
Kereta api Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) announces new Komuter fares from December 2 are set to rise, with the highest fare being RM7.10 for a single trip. KTMB President Lt Col (Rtd) Sarbini Tijan told that this was the first time fare revision for Komuter services since February 2003.
The rising of KTM fares to cover operating and maintenance costs that rise every year. Moreover, the drop of the ringgit with the expensive of spare parts make the cost become high.
In addition, the new structure will benefit for primary and secondary students, as well as university students are giving 50% of discounts on fares.
In my opinion, the rising of KTM Komuter train fares effect the increasingly of people's burden. This is because, cost of living who live in city increase steadily. The extra money that can save will now be used to cover the increase in public transportation fares, as travels daily on the KTM Komuter to go to the work. This show that the increasingly of monthly cost for using public transport seems like public transport in Malaysia does not help much to reduce people's burden.

E.D.U.C.A.T.E. yourself!
On November 2015, the form five students were taking Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). During the SPM's examination, suddenly Malaysia was shocked over death of SPM student. The student of SMK Raja Abdullah, Hon Ye was so depressed to wanting to take his own life. Even though he was hardworking and intelligent student but he can't manage his time. This is because, he studied late into the night and use his time only for study.
Thus, this is the ways on how to EDUCATE yourself. The first 'E' stands for 'Excellence': we all want excellence in everything. However, doing excellently in our school work is definitely not possible without studying. Studying is a key ingredient to achieving this excellence.
Besides, studying requires 'Discipline' on our part. With many subjects to cover, a timetable is essential. This discipline helps us when we start working, especially when a deadline has to be met, a project to be organised or a budget to be adhered to. More importantly, we have to be responsible for our own learning, especially if a particular subject is tough. Self-motivated learning and studying, is more effective than learning for examinations.
With this attitude, we students should realise that we need to develop a deeper 'Understanding' of the world around us and that studying must go beyond passively learning facts. As we think more about what we learn, we become more aware of our natural world, and understand how and why political differences exist. As we mature in our study habits, we might even see how the past affects the present.
Naturally, 'Careers' and stressed how studying is necessary for our future careers. If we are successful in our studies, we are eligible for more challenging jobs.
Moreover, we can ensure ourselves excellent academic results through regular study. Our 'Ambitions' of being high-fliers in our working life can be fulfilled if we are well-qualified, as it is obvious that very few companies will employ a poorly-educated person.
In addition, discipline study is actually 'Training' the mind to think, analyse and make valid conclusions. This is another aspect of being independent and growing up, which is necessary to cope with the challenges of working life.
The final letter of acronym stands for 'Enthusiasm'. The students agree whole-heartedly that we remember more when we are passionate about the subject matter. As such, enthusiasm is an important ingredient in true education.
In conclusion, to do the best in our examinations, we should continue learning all the time, as 'Education is not a destination but a lifelong journey'.
