Kualiti kereta Proton Preve

Sejak Proton Preve dibuka untuk tempahan saya sememangnya amat meragui kualiti kereta yang bakal dilahirkan. Sebelum ini saya belum pernah melihat mana-mana model kereta baru yang dibuka untuk tempahan ketika kelibatnya masih belum kelihatan di mana-mana bilik pameran mahupun dilancarkan.

Biasanya sebagai pembeli, kita wajib tengok dengan mata kepala sendiri serta uji pandu dahulu sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli sesebuah kereta. Ternyata apa yang saya ragui selama ini ada benarnya. Sila lihat gambar-gambar berikut dan nilai sendiri kualiti kereta nasional terbaru negara...

Kemalangan Proton Preve yang pertama

Belum pun sampai seminggu model kereta nasional Proton Preve dilancarkan, hari ini (20/4/2012) salah sebuah kereta pandu uji telah mengalami kemalangan.

Menurut sumber, kereta tersebut dipercayai dipandu oleh seorang jurujual dari bilik pameran Sentul dengan kelajuan kira-kira 120kmj. Ketika cuba mengelak sebuah kereta lain, kereta tersebut terlanggar pembahagi jalan lalu melambung dan hentakan yang kuat ketika mendarat telah menyebabkan kerosakan seperti yang boleh dilihat pada gambar di atas.

Mungkinkah kemalangan ini berlaku disebabkan kecacatan pada kereta ketika dikilangkan atau kecuaian oleh si pemandu berikutan kemampuan turbonya yang luar biasa? Fikir-fikrkan lah...

Albert Einstein vs Professor

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Einstein : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Einstein : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Einstein : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Einstein : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Einstein was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Einstein : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Einstein : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Einstein : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Einstein : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Einstein : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Einstein did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Einstein : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Einstein had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Einstein : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Einstein : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Einstein : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Einstein : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Einstein : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Einstein : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Einstein : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Einstein : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Einstein : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Einstein : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Einstein : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Einstein : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Einstein : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Einstein : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Einstein : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Einstein : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Einstein : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Einstein : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

Right Brain vs Left Brain test

Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

This was proved at Yale University , over a 5 year study on the human brain and it's functions. Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.

Maksud Nombor Pada Tayar

Setiap tayar mempunyai maklumat yang terperinci berhubung jenis, saiz dan keupayaan, termasuk minggu dan tahun keluaran. Sesiapa saja dapat memahami maklumat ini untuk membuat pilihan tayar yang tepat bagi kenderaan mereka. Cara paling tepat memahaminya adalah dengan memilih satu contoh tayar dan menelitinya satu demi satu.

Sebagai contoh, kita akan teliti nombor berikut: 225/50R16 92V. Nombor 225 yang pertama dalam siri merujuk kepada lebar tayar dalam milimeter, iaitu jarak diukur dari sisi ke sisi. Jika lebih besar nilai angka ini lebih lebar tayar tersebut. Nombor 50 menyatakan nisbah aspek (aspact ratio) tayar atau ketinggian tayar berbanding dengan kelebaran tayar itu.

Dalam contoh, ketinggian tayar adalah 50% kelebaran tayar tersebut. Biasanya tayar dengan nisbah aspek 55 kebawah diklasifikasikan sebagai tayar profil rendah. Tayar yang berprofil rendah memberi prestasi pengendalian keseluruhan yang lebih baik walaupun aspek keselesaan mungkin boleh terjejas sedikit.

Huruf "R" merujuk kepada binaan tayar radial dan kesemua tayar kereta menggunakan binaan radial sejak 20 tahun lalu. Tayar binaan radial tidak mempunyai tiub dan memberi prestasi lebih bagus. Angka 16 merujuk kepada garis pusat (diameter) rim untuk membolehkan tayar dimuatkan. Jika ingin menukar kepada tayar dengan diameter yang lebih besar, anda juga perlu menukar rim kepada diameter yang sama.

Nombor 92 melambangkan indek keupayaan mengangkut berat tayar tersebut. Untuk mengetahui berat maksima melambangkan nombor "92" kita perlu merujuk kepada carta "index keupayaan mengangkut berat tayar" yang ditetapkan diperingkat antarabangsa. Sebagai contoh, nombor 92 bermakna tayar tersebut mampu memikul berat maksima 630 kilogram. Berat maksima merujuk kepada setiap tayar, kita perlu darabkan dengan jumlah tayar (biasanya 4) untuk memperolehi kapasiti memikul berat kenderaan dengan empat tayar. (contoh: 630 x 4 = 2520 kg)

Huruf "V" yang terakhir adalah menyatakan kelajuan maksima bagi sesebuah tayar yang direka. Taraf kelajuan V dalam contoh bermakna bahawa tayar tersebut berkemampuan mengendali kelajuan mencecah 240km/j. Di bawah merupakan senarai carta kelajuan maksimum yang diwakili oleh setiap huruf abjad.

S - 180km/j
T - 190km/j
U - 200km/j
H - 210km/j
V - 240km/j
Z - melebihi hadlaju 240km/j
W - 270km/j
ZR - melebihi hadlaju 270km/j
Y - 300km/j

Harga RON97 naik 10 sen kepada RM2.90 seliter

Harga petrol gred RON97 akan naik 10 sen mulai tengah malam ini - meningkat daripada RM2.80 kepada RM2.90 seliter.

Harga baru ini sepadan dengan harga rekod yang ditetapkan pada Mei tahun lepas. Bagaimanapun, harganya turun RM0.10 seliter pada bulan berikutnya.

Persatuan Peniaga petrol Malaysia, Abdul Wahid Bidin mengesahkan ini.

Minggu lepas, kerajaan persekutuan mengumumkan ia telah meningkatkan subsidi petrol RON95 gred - yang paling banyak digunakan di Malaysia - sebanyak 10 sen ekoran harga minyak mentah global yang semakin meningkat.

Ini adalah kerana kerajaan persekutuan berkata ianya penting untuk mengekalkan harga RON95 bagi menghindari tekanan inflasi.

RON95 diperkenalkan pada bulan September 2009, selepas kerajaan persekutuan memutuskan untuk mengapungkan harga RON97 yang disemak setiap bulan.

Kenderaan pendaftaran asing tidak dibenar menggunakan minyak RON95.
