From Yahoo!News.co.jp: On November 1, McDonald’s Holdings Company Japan,revealed that it will close 110 stores within the next year. Profits are rapidly declining through things such as a 2.2% decrease in sales by the end of September in stores that had seen positive growth for eight years prior to the last period (December 2011), and the company is planning to take measures to relieve the problem. Since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, McDonald’s has faced severe competition from retail chains that are providing better ready-meal alternatives to home-cooked food, as well as money-saving home-cookers.

KISAH SEBENAR MASALAH JANTUNG TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMAD Filed Under ( berita pisau ) by Pisau Dotnet on 15.11.12 Saya perlu yakin terhadap doktor tempatan dan saya tahu, kalau saya sendiri tidak menunjukkan contoh maka orang lain tidak akan percaya kepada perkhidmatan perubatan kita.

Saya berada di Genting Highlands bagi menghadiri perjumpaan alumni Kolej Perubatan King Edward VII. Ramai rakan sekelas dan anak-anak mereka hadir serta bergembira.

Keesokannya, saya menunggang kuda dan sekali lagi berasa sesak nafas dan sakit dada. Saya tidak mahu menerima keadaan itu sebagai tanda-tanda serangan jantung, jadi saya tidak

An envious year

It has been five years I have serves moe, never before I took any leave and went home earlier than I supposed to, except this year which I have an important business to attend to, a once in a life time business, that the date already fixated. All those years when I'm around until the last day, there never was any last minutes business call upon, except this envious year, approximately a month after final year exam NOTHING came in, when i just busily filling in for anybody's away, Just on the day I suppose to fly, calls pours in maliciously, asking for this and that.

I remembered the task was just to photocopy their result and pass on to the head office once asked, I didn't rec

The AES and fatal Kedah crash

Recent horrid car crash in Kedah shocks the nation, the crash leaves four deaths on the spot and one seriously injured. Ironically, they're alive and kicking on the way to see their ill relative at the hospital, now the ill at the hospital is still alive and the one whose going to visit them died tragically. In fighting fatal crashes the government has introduced the Automatic Enforcement System or prominently known as AES, it is a system that records automatically on camera, traffic offends such as speeding and rule breaking. In the first phase, the system will be setup in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Perak aiming at highly risked road where accident occurred the most. The region where the system was installed will be mark with sign board to tip off the road user so they wouldn't be penalized but the utmost importantly is their safety as the region they're in is marked accident frequent. Overall the system is aiming to educate the public rather than
