Common Mistake During Off-Season

1) Not Eating Enough
Women tend to fall victim to this mistake a lot more than men. The reason behind this is that women hate putting on weight and after looking so good on stage the last thing that they want to do is put on FAT. So they continue to eat like they are still dieting. The result is they don’t have the energy to make any new gains or improvements to their body and, in many cases, lose muscle mass. The off season is the time of year a person makes 95% of their improvements to their physique. Without the energy and the fuel, via a surplus of healthy clean food, you cannot make the improvements you need. Make sure that you are eating enough calories to enable you to make those improvements and show up better next time you step on stage. Though you might put on a little body fat, the body fat will come off once you diet down for your next show.

2) Not Eating Enough Healthy Clean Foods
What is the first thing you do after you step off the stage with all of your trophies (let’s be optimistic)? You go directly to your favorite restaurant, or fast food place, and EAT. Granted, it is fine to indulge in good food after the show is over. You earned it. However, don’t let a fast food frenzy spill into your off season diet. Now, above I talked about taking in enough calories so you can put on good size in the off season. You might say ‘fast food and junk food are calorie dense so why not have them once or twice a day so I can bump up my overall calories?” While you want to have excess calories while bulking, the majority of those calories should be from clean healthy foods: lean cuts of meat, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. The off season is the time to put on size but the majority of it should be muscle, not fat. A diet riddled with junk food will result in little muscle gain and plenty of fat storage. Clean it up and you beef it up!

3) Staying away from Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are a very important part of the off season diet and a great energy source, if used properly throughout the day. Simple carbohydrates (i.e., fast digesting) are great to have post-workout because they spike your insulin level and drive the glycogen into your muscles. They also help to drive the amino acids from your protein shake, that you should have post-workout, with that simple carbohydrate to aid in protein synthesis (i.e., muscle building). Complex carbohydrates provide a more prolonged energy source and are great to have for breakfast or later in the day. Examples of complex carbohydrates are oats, brown rice and sweet potatoes. Examples of simple carbohydrates are sugars, white bread and pasta.

4) No Cardio
This is a huge mistake that I see all the time and 99% of the time men fall victim to the no cardio approach in the off season. They justify it by saying “I don’t want to lose any size”. Well, I am here to tell you that three 30 minute cardio sessions a week will do wonders for your bulking phase. By incorporating a cardio routine into your workout program, your appetite will go through the roof, which will make it a lot easier to eat clean healthy food. You also will improve your cardiovascular system, which is critical when lifting heavy. I have seen countless guys fail to reach their desired rep range because their cardiovascular system failed on them. They were strong enough to get those extra 2 reps but were too out of breath and had to rack the weight. Sooner or later you will start losing muscle if you don’t reach your desired rep range. If you want to put on that size start, then start doing some cardio.

5) Too Much Cardio
Ladies, this is where many of you slip up. You don’t want to put on those couple of extra pounds so you stick to your contest prep cardio program. Your body cannot make improvements in muscle size and shape if you are expending too much energy with cardio. Most people (guys and gals) should stick to a moderate cardio program like 3-4 low intensity 20-30 minute sessions a week. This will keep both your metabolism humming and your appetite up and, most importantly you will be working the heart, which is the most important muscle of all.

6) Too Much Machine Use
Too many trainers rely too heavily on machine use in their workout programs. With all the new fancy machines out now, who can blame them? They are comfortable, smooth and easy to use. But I have the motto “nothing in weight lifting is easy”. These machines do have benefits, when used properly and are great to supplement your program (I like to use them at the end of the workout, if I use them at all) but nothing works better than free weight basics. Free weight basics, with barbells and dumbbells, like squats, deadlifts, rows, bench etc., should be the bread and butter of all of your workouts off season and pre-contest. They recruit the most muscle fiber use which will lead to maximum growth and improvement. Only after you have exhausted maximum energy with the free weight basics, should you think about using machines or cables. Remember, the harder you work, the better the results and nothing is harder than free weights.

7) Not Enough Rest/ Recovery Time

In the off-season, your major goal is to put on lean muscle mass. Many novice trainers don’t realize that you do all your growing outside the gym. Even some experienced lifters find it hard to stay away from the gym in the off season. They do everything right: eat clean, workout out hard, but forget to give their body’s enough rest and recovery time between workouts so gains are negligible. You break down the muscle tissue in the gym, given that you fuel your body with nutritious food. The final piece of the puzzle is time. You need to give your body time to recover. Without adequate time to recover, you will break down already broken down muscle tissue caused by over training. There is a lot of debate over how long a muscle needs to rest/recover from a workout before you should work it out again. I am a big believer in 72 hours, or 3 days of recovery time. If the muscle still seems to be sore, give it another day of rest. The last thing you want to do is to injure yourself.

8) Scale
Worrying about the scale has caused a lot of men to put on fat in the off season. Men love stating how much they weigh, if the number is above 200 lbs. So in their pursuit to put on as much weight as possible, most of these ego driven males end up putting on a substantial amount of body fat. Your body cannot continue to add pounds of lean muscle mass each week, so if your weight continues to increase every week, you are probably putting on too much body fat. I tell my clients to focus on what they look like, not on what the scale says.

Women are the complete opposite once they see their weight go up; they either stop eating as much or do a lot of cardio. This shift is driven by the pursuit to keep in contest shape. However, this practice will make it extremely difficult to make improvements.

9) Lack of a Goal

This issue is for my competing athletes and starts immediately after your contest is over. You should talk to the judges about your presentation to help you understand where you can improve and what your strong points are. Then, in the next week or so, sit down with your personal trainer and discuss how you are going to approach the off season and make the improvements to your physique. I see many competitors, pros and amateurs alike, who show up every year looking the same. These individuals don’t improve and also don’t win. Judges take notice of competitors who improve on weak points and they will reward you with a higher placing. So in the beginning of the off season, make some short and long term goals for yourself; this will help keep you focused on the improvements that you need to make between competitions.

10) Skipping Meals:
This is a common mistake made by the hard gainers. They are not hungry so they either push back the meal by an hour, or worse, just skip it all together. This is a big mistake. Your body needs protein every 2.5-3 hours so your muscles can have a steady stream of available amino acids. You need to keep your body in a positive nitrogen balance. When your body doesn’t have enough amino acids, it goes to your muscles to find them. Your body will begin to eat away at your hard-earned muscle for fuel, a result you must avoid. This is referred to as a catabolic state (i.e., muscle wasting). You want to be in a positive nitrogen balance as much as possible, which is referred to as the anabolic state (i.e.,muscle gaining). If you can’t stomach a full meal, then try to suck down a whey shake. This will give you enough amino acids until you eat your next meal.

The off-season is a time to make improvements to your physique. Use this time as productively as possible by avoiding any of the mistakes discussed above. Wasted time is wasted growth so if you find yourself falling into any of these pitfalls, then make a quick correction in your diet and/or workout programs. If you can do this, you will be well on your way to adding that desired inch to your physique.

Breakfast

1. You’ll burn more calories. People who regularly skip breakfast burn an average of 150 fewer calories a day than regular breakfast eaters, according to scientists at the Mayo Clinic for Medical Education and Research. So you can shovel snow for 15 minutes, do water aerobics for 30 minutes, or take the easy option and grab some breakfast.

2. You’ll catch fewer colds. Researchers at Cardiff University showed that people who regularly ate breakfast were less likely to suffer colds, flu and other respiratory tract illnesses than daily breakfast dodgers were. Presumably this is because breakfast boosts your immune system, not because it coats you in a Ready Brek-style germ-proof shield.

3. You’ll be less depressed. Regular breakfast eaters are less likely to be emotionally distressed, depressed and to die by suicide, according to a study by the University of Bristol. Lack of serotonin will cause you to feel tired, unable to concentrate and irritable. If you’ve ever wondered why your workmates are always keen to make you breakfast, this could be it.

4. Your breath will be better. Breakfast dodgers are more likely to scare colleagues and loved ones with their halitosis until lunchtime, compared to breakfast eaters, who should lose it after that first meal. Unless you eat garlic bread or raw onions for breakfast, that is.

5. You’ll live longer. Forget marketing-spun anti-ageing products, fad low-calorie diets and mythical fountains of youth, the truth is unnervingly simple – people who reach the age of 100 consume breakfast more regularly than those who don’t make a century, according to research by the Stress Institute.

6. Your cholesterol will be lower. Frequent breakfast avoidance could lead to higher cholesterol, say researchers in Nottingham. This obviously depends on your choice of morning grub – oats are a good bet because they’re rich in soluble fiber, but a fry-up oozing saturated fat is not.

7. You won’t crave junk food. Breakfast eaters are less likely to suffer a mid-morning energy slump and reach for a high-calorie, low-nutrient snack than those who shun breakfast. The obvious exception being if you’ve had a burger for breakfast because (a) it’s unlikely to sustain you for long and (b) you’ve clearly already craved junk food.

8. You’ll reduce your risk of diabetes. Breakfasters are half as likely to have a blood-sugar problem, which increases your risk of suffering from diabetes, according to a study by the Harvard Medical School. Probably best not to start your day with a sugary cereal or chocolate bar, though.

9. You’ll get more nutrients. Breakfast gives you vitamins, minerals and fiber, which can be difficult to get in sufficient quantities if you only have two meals a day. Need more convincing? Binge drinkers are more likely to be vitamin-deficient, and more than four pints in a session counts as a binge. Thought that would do the trick.

10. You’ll be smarter. Breakfast eaters think and perform better at work than breakfast skippers. A study in the Journal of Psychiatric Research linked having breakfast to academic performance and several studies has shown it improves memory. If only they’d told us that ten years ago… or maybe they did and we just forgot.

BULLET PROOF - MusclePharm

Build your body while you DREAM.

Everyone knows you don't grow in the gym. Your workout stimulates the adaptive process.

The harder you train, the bigger, stronger, faster you become-but you need proper nutrition and the correct internal physiologic environment. Sleep is the key component to muscle growth. By maximizing the body's natural "anabolic window" through enhancing, restful sleep, you progress forward. You can't achieve those lofty fitness goals without sleep. BULLET PROOF™ is formulated to support Growth Hormone and Testosterone production, promote recovery and repair, and create new muscle growth.* At the same time, it helps prevent muscle breakdown, and maximizes these processes during the body's most anabolic window...during deep, nourishing sleep.

NIGHT GROWTH MATRIX

With three grams of leucine per serving, it's the perfect amount of one of the essential amino acid powerhouses to help induce muscle growth. Leucine not only has the capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, it has been suggested to slow muscle damage after intense training by increasing the synthesis of muscle proteins.

MUSCLE RECOVERY MATRIX:

L-Glutamine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline Malate and Gingerols 20% - Banded together, these key recovery, immune-bolstering, anti-catabolic and repair agents nourish the body at the cellular level. The Muscle Recovery Matrix strengthens the immune system, protects against potentially catabolic effects of hard training and replenishes energy systems for ongoing high-intensity training. Gingerols—Mother Nature's "anti-inflammatory"—enhances the repair and recovery properties of this engineered blend of performance-supporting nutrients.

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS:

Amino acids are critical to preventing catabolism and spurring new muscle growth.

Pos Malaysia

Pada 20 Oktober 2012 (Sabtu) yang lalu saya telah membeli sesuatu di laman internet. Penjual tersebut berada di Pulau Pinang. Kebiasaannya penggunaan kad kredit adalah paling mudah ketika membeli secara online tetapi laman internet mereka hanya menerima bayaran tunai sahaja dengan deposit terus ke akaun mereka.
Inilah iklan pada laman internet tersebut.
Berikutan itu saya hanya membuat pembayaran pada 22 Oktober 2012 sebab mengalami masalah 'sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga' seperti berikut:-
  1. Mesin deposit bank penerima tidak berfungsi dan merupakan hari tidak bekerja sebab bank hanya beroperasi pada hari isnin hingga hari jumaat sahaja.
  2. Akaun persendirian saya pula tidak aktif dan tidak dapat memindahkan wang yang dikehendaki melalui mesin ATM.
  3. Selepas akaun saya diaktifkan pada 22/10/2012 (isnin) dengan memasukkan sejumlah wang, saya masih lagi tidak dapat memindahkan wang dan menurut pihak bank saya hanya boleh membuat pemindahan pada keesokkan hari. Maka saya terpaksa mengeluarkan wang tunai dari akaun dan mendepositkannya ke akaun penerima.
  4. Selepas urusan pembayaran selesai, saya menghantar sms kepada penerima dan menurut mereka tempahan saya akan dihantar pada hari yang sama iaitu pada 22/10/2012.
  5. Namun janji hanya tinggal janji, penjual hanya menghantar tempahan saya pada 1/11/2012 dengan menggunakan PosMalaysia.
  6. Selepas seminggu berlalu, tempahan saya tak juga sampai-sampai dan saya terpaksa membuat aduan ke PosMalaysia di talian 1-300-300-300. Kata mereka, "Barang Encik di hantar menggunakan Kapal Terbang dan mengambil masa 7 hingga 11 hari untuk sampai". Alasan yang tidak munasabah langsung! 
Boleh semak di sini.
Sehingga ke saat ini (11/11/2012 @ 14:50hrs) saya masih belum menerima barang yang dikirim melalui PosMalaysia. Apakah khidmat sebegini yang termampu mereka lakukan? Di manakah silapnya?
Action should be taken on next working day!
Setengah bulan baru sampai...

Menipu dengan menyamar sebagai mekanik HONDA

Kisah ini saya 'copy & paste' dari laman sosial facebook untuk dikongsikan bersama agar tidak diperdaya serta berhati-hati dengan orang yang tidak dikenali.

Dalam perjalanan dari Bangi ke UMKL, saya singgah di Hentian Serdang, untuk ke bilik air. Lepas tol Sg Besi, lelaki kanan (yg angkat tangan) follow naik motor & horn 2-3 kali sambil menunjuk ke arah tayar depan kereta. Saya pun berhenti tetapi tidak keluar, takut niat tak baik. Dia kata tayar abang berasap. Saya tengok dari dalam kereta, ada minyak meleleh di rim tayar, macam minyak brek.

Lepas tengok minyak meleleh itu, rasa cuak juga. Sebab brek memang ada bunyi sikit sebelum ini. Lelaki India yang angkat tangan tinggi itu pakai baju Honda, mengaku kerja di Pusat Servis Honda (Global Amity) yang berdekatan & ofer nak bantu. Dia kata kena pegi tepi sikit kawasan lapang, nanti kalau orang/kawan Honda nampak, dia kena tindakan disiplin.

Oleh kerana macam boleh percaya, saya pun pergi ekori dia pergi kawasan kosong sebelah Desa Waterpark. Dia pun buka tayar & check set brek (calipter). Dia kata mungkin bocor. Tapi nampak macam ok je. Minyak yang meleleh pun nampak sikit je, tak merebak pada seluruh rim tayar. Tapi, tak berani nak bawak, takut risiko. Dia kata boleh tolong repair, @ kalau abang tak percaya, abang boleh hantar ke pusat servis. Tapi, biasa la bang, harga Honda. Saya pulak baru tukar fuel pump (RM180, cari sendiri) dan servis + strainer = +/- RM210. Kalau ambil fuel pump Honda RM1,836.00

Lelaki ini kata, dia call kawan dia di Pusat Servis untuk ambilkan barang di spare part yang biasa. Boleh dapat harga kurang sikit. Saya tanya harga, dia kata tak tau. Lepas 10 minit, kawan dia (Ramesh) sampai, bawa barang dengan resit RM1500. Wa.. ini pun dah mahal. Mula timbul ragu sikit. Saya tegur dia kenapa tak bagitau awal2 harga. Dia minta maaf. Lepas itu mereka pasang, buka yang lama, letak dalam boot belakang.


Saya kata boleh bayar kemudian tak, saya tak cukup cash. Nanti petang saya singgah di Global Amity. Mereka kata tak boleh. Abang ambil la di ATM, mereka nak ikut. Dlm hati makin ragu. Saya kata ATM pun tak cukup, kena ambil di kaunter. You ikut saya pegi UM dulu, lepas tu kita ambil duit. Kawan you itu, suruh la dia masuk kerja balik.

Bila masuk kereta, saya bawa dia masuk UM, tapi Ramesh (yang seorang lagi) follow di belakang naik motor. Masa ini, saya rasa memang mereka ini tipu & bersungguh nak duit cash, bukan tolong. Sampai UM, saya kta nak masuk library pulang buku. Mereka tunggu di parking. Kereta saya kunci.

Lepas pulang buku, saya call salesman kat Honda (GLobal Amity) & tanya, ada tak staff nama Ramesh. Dia kata macam takda, kenapa? Saya kata brek saya bocor, dia tolong repair. Salesman kata, oh itu tipu tu, sebab sebelum ini ada customer Honda dah kena, tapi dia pegi ke pusat servis. Kereta ok je.

Saya pun minta bantuan pihak keselamatan UM & balai polis Pantai. Takut2 kena belasah ke. Polis & guard UM datang & tungu kat kereta. Lelaki 2 orang tu buat tak tau je. Lepas tu, baru saya turun. Saya kata kat mereka, you tipu! Honda kata you tak kerja kat situ. Ramesh jawab, Honda ada banyak, bang. Abang buang masa saya je la. Kita orang cuma mau tolong. Masa ni, saya snap gambar mereka. Polis pun tanya, apa yang saya tak puas hati. Lepas tanya mereka pulak, apa tak puas hati. Lepas tu, polis kata, Ok kalau dua2 tak puas hati, kita pergi buat report kat balai.


Polis suruh mereka pergi ke balai dulu. Saya pegi follow kat belakang patrol car. Smpai kat balai, saya buat report. Dua lelaki tu tak muncul2. Baru rasa lega dan sujud syukur. Lepas tu saya send gambar mereka kat salesman Honda. Dia kata baju Honda putih, bukan kelabu. Tu baju lama2 dulu.

Ada rasa lega, syukur sebab Allah selamatkan dari ditipu/ dibelasah. Bimbang, kalau2 terjumpa mereka lagi. Tapi, 1 lagi, rasa puas hati sebab 2 penipu terkena kali ni. Dah buat kerja & tukar barang, tapi tak dapat apa2. Cuma, polis mcm tak berminat nak tahan mereka.

Ada org sebut kata2 Sydna Ali: Aku bukan penipu, tapi penipu tak boleh tipu aku

Tribulus Terrestris

Q. What is Tribulus Terrestris?

A. Tribulus Terrestris has been the secret weapon Bulgaria. It 
has been used extensively and with apparent great 
effectiveness by Bulgarian strength athletes. 

Tribulus Terrestris is the closest and strongest all natural 
herbal alternative to synthetic anabolic hormones. This 
non-hormonal supplement is proven to increase testosterone 
levels in humans.

Q. What does Tribulus Terrestris do?

A. Tribulus Terrestris causes your body to release luteinizing 
hormone, which in turn then signals your testicles to 
naturally produce more testosterone. But Tribestan also 
prevents your body from recognizing that is producing high 
levels of testosterone, so your body will not try to then lower 
it luteinizing hormone levels. So your testosterone level 
stays high.

Since testosterone promotes protein synthesis and positive
nitrogen balance, the benefits for the athlete are muscle cell 
growth and increased body strength, as well as faster 
recuperation and recovery from muscular stress. This 
together with its diuretic effect promotes the lean, hard 
muscular look. Other additional benefits are increased 
immunity, lowered cholesterol levels, increased self 
confidence, improved workout attitude and better mood 
in general.

Q. Is Tribulus Terrestris safe?

A. Yes! Used as directed Tribestan is completely non-toxic, 
safe and very effective.

Q. Are there any side effects from taking Tribulus Terrestris?

Tribulus Terrestris is a completely natural product with no 
contradictions, no toxicity and no side effects. Taken as
directed you’ll experience no negative side effects.  You will 
notice an improved feeling of well being, more energy, 
healthier sex drive, better appetite, lower body fat levels, 
and improved athletic performance. When training with 
weights you will increase strength and lean muscle mass 
as well as increase your desire to train.

Q. Should people that take steroids or prohormones use 
Tribulus Terrestris?

A. When taking external sources of testosterone, your body 
can decrease it's own natural testosterone production. 
Tribulus Terrestris keep your own bodies testosterone 
level high.

Also Tribulus Terrestris can help someone trying to get off 
steroids by jump-starting the bodies natural testosterone 
production back to normal levels, thus eliminating the 
usual losses in mass and strength.

Q. How should Tribulus Terrestris be taken?

A. A typical cycle is 8 weeks long followed by 2 weeks 
off. People under 200 lbs take 1 tablet every 8 hours
(3 times a day, durring meals), and people over 
200 lbs take 2 tablets every 8 hours (3 times a day, 
durring meals).

Q. Should Tribulus Terrestris be taken on days you 
don’t train?

A. Yes! Just follow the same time-dose schedule. It is 
very important to take Tribulus Terrestris and other 
supplements on your non-workout days as these are 
critical recovery days where your body will utilize the 
hormones and nutrients for muscle growth and repair.

Q. Can Tribulus Terrestris be taken with Creatine and 
Protein?

Yes and we highly recommend it. These are completely 
different supplements that work on completely different 
pathways. They will not interfere with one another and 
only act to complement each supplement’s effect.

Example: Tribulus Terrestris for increasing testosterone. 
Creatine for buffering ATP and increasing cell volume. 
Protein for higher nitrogen levels and increased protein 
synthesis.

Q. Can Tribulus Terrestris cause "Gyno" or "bitch-tits"?

A. Gynecomastia is caused by excessive estrogen in the 
body of males. Tribulus Terrestris does not cause 
excessive estrogen, in fact it will normalize estrogen 
levels in your body, including bringing it down if it was 
too high.

Q. Is Tribulus Terrestris safe for women?

A. Yes! Tribulus Terrestris will increase Testosterone levels 
in women, but not enough to cause masculinizing effects. 
Tribulus Terrestris  is perfect for women looking to build 
muscle and lose fat.

Note: Women taking Tribulus Terrestris need to stop taking
it 5 days before thier period and resume after. Tribulus 
Terrestris can increase follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) 
in women. (FSH levels do not increase in men taking 
Tribulus Terrestris).

Q. Will Tribulus Terrestris show up on a drug test?

A. Tribulus Terrestris increases your bodies own natural 
testosterone production, it is not an outside source of 
Testosterone that will show up on a drug test.

Kapal Terbang MASwings terbabas di lapangan terbang MARUDI

Kejadian berlaku kira-kira pada pukul 2:25pm hari ini (7/11/2012). Kesemua 17 penumpang serta 2 juruterbang selamat.






MARUDI: A DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft of MASwings landed in a ditch in a mishap at Marudi airport in the first incident of this ageing aircraft of the Rural Air Service operator.

The incident occurred at about 2.19pm after the aircraft on flight MH 3562 from Miri touched down at the runway of the Marudi airport at about 2.33pm as the aircraft veered to the left side of the runway, tearing down the airport fencing and ending up in a ditch in fine weather.

Its left wing was touching the road to Kampung Padang Kerbau, after the rammed the wire fencing and coming to a halt with half the length of the aircraft in the ditch.

Baram OCPD Abu Bakar Moktar told the press that the 19-passenger aircraft was flying 17 passengers who escaped injury except for one female passenger who suffered minor leg injury.

The injured passenger received outpatient treatment at Marudi hospital, a stone-throw away from the airport.

He said Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) would investigate the actual cause of the incident although police preliminary investigation did not rule out technical problems as a possibility of the mishap.

DSP Bakar said this is the first aviation mishap involving a Twin Otter at Marudi airport in recent memory, and it was fortunate that there were no untoward incident in this.

The passengers hurriedly left the scene for the airport terminal at the other end of the runway while firefighters rushed to the scene to spray anti-inflammable powder on the aircraft as a precautionary measure.

Bakar said this is the first ever case involving an aircraft skidding in Marudi.

Meanwhile, a 49-year old school teacher, Hajijah Dollah, one of the passengers aboard, said she was the first to escape through the rear door which she opened after the aircraft came to a halt.
Traumatised by the incident, she was unable to re-collect much of what actually happened leading to the mishap.

Meanwhile, members of the public, including civil servants rushed to the scene for a closer look.
In Sept 2008, a similar aircraft of MASwings slammed into an empty farmhouse in Buduk Nur in Ba Kelalan highlands in a lucky escape for the 14 passengers and two pilots.

The aircraft landed in the paddy fields, narrowly missing the terminal building and other buildings along the runway.

The pilot was reported to suffer minor injuries while the rest were shaken up in this miraculous escape in that incident. Among the passengers were former SIB preacher and father to the late Dato Dr Judson Sakai Tagal and former Bukit Mas member of parliament Mutang Tagal, a SIB Australian preacher, Bruneian nationals and local Lun Bawangs.

Meanwhile, a press statement yesterday issued by Corporate Communications Department of MASwings said the Twin Otter veered off the runway upon landing in Marudi airport at around 1430 hours today.

There were no casualties and all 17 passengers and two operating crew of the flight disembarked safely.
Whilst the Marudi airport runway is still open for flight operations, MASwings has despatched an investigation team from Miri to Marudi for recovery and rescue action.

The airline said it will extend its full co-operation to the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation investigating the incident.

“MASwings assures customers that this is an isolated incident and safe flight operations continue to remain a high priority in the company at all times,” the statement added.

Felda Global Ventures

Sejak Felda Global Ventures (FGV) tersenarai di Brusa Saham Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) pada 28 Jun 2012 yang lalu, saya telah mengikuti perkembangannya dengan harapan agar suatu hari nanti saya akan memiliki sahamnya sebagai satu pelaburan jangka panjang persendirian.

Harga penyenaraian awal (IPO) ialah RM4.55 sesaham dan pernah memcecah RM5.50 sesahan pada awal bulan Julai 2012. Namun ianya tidak kekal bertahan lama dan boleh dikatakan harga sahamnya mengalami penurunan setiap hari seperti pada graf di bawah.
Nov 2, 2012
Menurut Pengerusi Lembaga Kemajuan Tanah Persekutuan (felda) Tan Sri Isa Samat pada bulan september yang lalu, naik turun saham adalah perkara biasa bagi mana-mana syarikat perladangan yang tersenarai di brusa saham. Kedudukan FGV juga bergantung kepada faktor cuaca yang mempengaruhi hasil jualan kelapa sawit yang juga merupakan faktor ekonomi global.
RM4.67 sesaham pada 2/11/12
Berikut merupakan pengamatan pribadi saya tentang FGV sejak tersenarai di BSKL. Maklumat terperinci boleh didapati pada laman internet BSKL di sini.

1. Banyak informasi yang boleh kita dapat dari bahagian laporan penyelidikan (research reports) seperti pada gambar di bawah. Laporan Alliance Research Bhd yang bertajuk "More earnings downside ahead" telah mencadangkan supaya menjual saham FGV melalui laporan penyelidikan mereka yang bertarikh 24 September 2012.
2. Jika anda tinjau pada bahagian 'Company Announcement' di laman internet BSKL, boleh dikatakan setiap hari terdapat transaksi jual beli yang dibuat oleh Kumpulan wang simpanan pekerja (KWSP/EPF), Kumpulan Wang Persaraan dan Lembaga Tabung Haji. Rasanya tak kira sama ada untung atau rugi mereka bertiga ini giat menjalankan aktiviti jual dan beli saham FGV. Sila lihat sendiri aktiviti mereka di sini.
3.Setelah perdana menteri kita mengumumkan pemberian 'interim dividend' pada 4 September 2012 yang lalu, saham FGV terus menjuman sehingga ke paras menghampiri IPO. Sila lihat graf di atas untuk gambaran yang lebih jelas.

Secara pribadi saya masih belum terbuka hati untuk memiliki sahan FGV sebagai pelaburan sehingga artikel ini ditulis. Saya sedih mengenangkan nasib wang simpanan kita di KWSP yang dilaburkan tanpa mengira untung atau rugi.

Begitu juga nasibnya dengan Kumpulan wang persaraan dan lembaga tabung haji. Sampai bila kah ini akan berterusan dan mungkinkah saham FGV sesuai untuk dijadikan pelaburan suatu hari nanti?

Bagaimana pula dengan nasib peneroka yang diberi saham percuma tetapi perlu membuat pinjaman? Adakah ianya menguntungkan atau merugikan para perneroka?

Renung-renungkan lah...
