An extract from the New Straits Time.
Please read through and you will understand why the school usually request students to return home after school is dismissed.
If or when you know that your transport will be late to fetch you, please wait for your transport within school compound. Its for your own safety. I noted that in most school students like to hang around the bus stop or coffee shop to have a chat with their friends, please be careful I am very sure that your parent do not wish that your are a victim.

True story of """KIDNAPPED""""
Today, I received an email from a friend in which one of his family friend was caught with this so called "YOUR CHILD IS KIDNAPPED"
Date: Tue, May 5, 2009 at 2:30 AM
Subject: My experience. Pls read!Hey guys,
I hope you guys will read this mail. Something happened in my family this afternoon. Just want to share with you guys.
Hope my experience will prompt you guys to be alert and careful as well.
This afternoon, I went out for lunch at 1.30pm. Then I went to salon at 4 something.
Then, I received a call from my mum at 5pm.
She asked "where are you?"
I said "I'm at the salon".
Then she said "I thought you were being KIDNAPPED!"
Something unexpected happened. Someone called my house number after I left the house for about 15 mins (1.45pm). A guy called, then there was a girl crying and shouted "mum, mum, i'm being kidnapped". Then the guy said, "your daughter is being kidnapped, I want RM50000".
My mum really thought I was kidnapped (which I wasn't). Then, my mum told the guy she doesn't have such big amount of money. The guy threatened her that he will do something to me, and many negative words. Somehow my mum negotiated with the guy, saying that she doesn't have enough cash on her hand now. She said she only has RM1000. The guy got angry, scolded..bla n bla.
In the end, my mum said she will pay RM2000. And the guy accepted. The guy told my mum not to call anyone, including my dad. So, my mum wanted to just settle everything herself. But so happen that my dad came home at 2 something. My mum told my dad what happened to me, dad got panic and broke down.
okay cut the long story short.
They went to bank in the money and all. After the guy received the money. The guy told my mum "your daughter will take a cab home, you wait for her to come back". So, my parents waited, they thought how come I'm not back yet. Then, mum called me. That's when she found out I was in salon, and she was conned by the guy.
So guys, pls let your parents know about it. Because there are many cases like these happening now. Behind my hse, 1 girl kena kidnapped and 1 house was robbed as well.
I hope you guys will be more alert when you're out. As well, tell your parents to be calm if they received such calls. Make sure parents can speak to their child 1st, to make sure if the kidnap is real.
GIRLS! PLS don't go back home late. At least ask someone to accompany you back home.
Can you imagine this incident happened in the afternoon, what some more during night time?
Well, a big lesson to learn for my family. Thank God nothing happen to me.
RM2000 gone. But at least I'm safe.
Parents are not angry. They understand that the guy just wanted the money.
Although my parents should have call me, but they were too afraid to call and they really thought I was kidnapped. Dad was afraid if the guy saw my hp that my dad is calling, then the guy will ask for more money. Somehow, God made a way. God bring my dad back home to accompany my mum at least.
This incident really saddens me a lot because my parents were so worried about me for that whole 3 hours. Crying and panicking and kept praying for me. Sigh.
But we believe God will use us to help others as well. Thats why I'm sharing these with you guys. So that you won't be trick by these phone calls. We also believe that God is prompting us to be careful and be alert once again.
Do keep me and my family in prayer. Pray for protection. Hope the guy won't come back to hunt us.
And I'm grateful and thankful to have such amazing parents. Thank God for His blessing upon my family, that we're safe and fine now.

Muddy problem for Cheras residents
By CHARLES FERNANDEZ
EARTHWORK on a 10ha plot of land is causing residents of four bungalows along Jalan Datuk Haji Harun in Taynton View, Cheras, sleepless nights. The students and staff of a secondary school in the area are also uneasy.
The area, once a flat land and right behind the bungalows and SMK Seri Mutiara, was used to dump earth and over the years has become a hill.
Now a contractor is carrying out earthwork and this has caused the soil on the hill to loosen when it rains.
Mud then flows down the slope and into the compounds of the school and drains behind the bungalows.
The school is only about 50m away from the site, while the bungalows are separated by a huge drain which is now blocked with earth.
Several lorries were seen transporting sand from the area and these stopped coming when they saw City Hall officials conducting a survey with Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai and reporters.
It is learnt that the land is being cleared for the construction of several bungalows.
According to a resident, who wanted to be known as Lim, he has been living in the area for the past 20 years and has seen different contractors attempt to clear the land in the last 10 years.
“The land used be on level with the bungalows but because of the dumping activities, it is now higher than the roof of my house. My back view is also completely blocked,” said Lim.
Lim said whenever a contractor failed to complete the job, the area turned into a dumping ground for earth until another contractor came along.
“The empty land also serves as a dumping ground for old household furniture and construction debris,” he said.
Housewife Rita Lee, 62, said the drains behind the units were covered with mud and although the residents had complained to the authorities, there was no action taken.
“City Hall has been urged to issue a stop-work order to the contractor,” said Tan.
A City Hall officer, who declined to be named, said the contractor had not obtained the development order which was the pre-requisite before any earthwork was done.
“We will survey the area to ensure there are no more illegal activities on the land,’’ the officer said.

DRY ICE
Good information. Please take note and it can happen to you.
Remember this especially when you buy lots of ice cream. They normally put dry ice in your ice cream pack if you buy a lot.
A friend bought four packs of ice cream and to prevent it from melting, the seller put the dry ice amongst the ice cream.
My friend put it at the back seat (not the back of the car boot) and he started to drive with the windows closed and the aircon on (as what we all do).
Soon after that, he had difficulty breathing and it was getting worse by minutes. Luckily, he was in a traffic jam and when he almost fainted, beside him was an ambulance.
He dragged himself to the ambulance and got the oxygen treatment. He was getting better on the way to the hospital.
The ambulance officer drove his car to the hospital and he had the same experience. However, before his condition worsen, he opened up the window and he could breathe easily.
Only later, when my friend returned to office and told his colleagues about his story, they pointed out to him that the dry ice was the problem. WHY?
Dry ice is made of CO2 and when it "melts", it becomes CO2 gas straight away without leaving any wet mark (that is why it is called dry ice).
CO2 is easier to be tied up in our blood and thus, when the dry ice sublimes into CO2 gas, it fills the car room with it along with the air con circulation and caused CO2 poisoning.
So, dont put the dry ice inside your car if you are using aircon with fully closed windows. You must leave the windows open for such situation.
Hope this will help to prevent any fatality just from a small negligence like this. Imagine if you have your children inside, they might be the first victim.

Ants - can be harmful
What the ‘semut selangor’ looks like.
Ants known locally as semut selangor (tetraponera rufonigra), could be found on dry tree trunks and branches in tropical countries, especially South-East Asia.
He said a few ant species were capable of painful stings but not all were known to pose a serious danger to human health.
