Petrol Naik?
Huiyyooo .... petrol naik lagi 30sen harini. Pelik sungguh masa oil price hovering around USD70 per barrel petrol tak naik ... sekarang ni bila price dah turun around AUD60 perbarrel petrol kat Malaysia naik pulak. Di Wollongong ni masa oil price reached its peak se litre jejak AUD1.40 tapi sekarang ni dah turun AUD1.13. Itulah yang aku pelik apa rasional kenaikan harga tahun ni? kalau haritu naik logic lagi ... sekarang ni naik apa logicnya? kalau iya pun nak buat sesuatu tindakan kenalah ada rasionalnya ... memang harga petrol kat Malaysia still murah tapi the price movement tu pelik ... against the world's trend. kalau macam tu baik lah oil price tu maintain kat around AUD70 per barrel baru puas hati. Inilah Malaysia, orang naik harga kita naikkan harga ... bila orang turunkan harga kita tetap naikkan harga. Sapa yang gaji bawah RM3000 ada anak, ada kereta, ada rumah nak bayar ... meranalah gamaknya. Other country semakin maju semakin improve standard of living, tapi Malaysia nak maju terpaksa korbankan standard of living. Adalah baiknya biarkan petrol price fluctuate based on world's oil price baru senang nak justify ... tak payah subsidy ... biar mahal jadik org tak beli kereta ... naik public transport .. tapi satu issue lain pulak timbul ... reliable ke kita punya public transport system?
Update: Pak Lah kata 4.4billion yang dapat dijimatkan itu akan digunakan untuk memperbaiki public transport system .... hmmmm sapalah pulak yang akan dapat projek ni yek .... kalau betul dan kena gayanya baguslah, jangan jadik tak tentu arah sudahlah
P/S: Teringat lagi masa mula-mula beli kereta dulu ... selitre baru RM1.10
TTDI Jaya banjir besar
Memula aku terima berita ni aku relax lagi sebab memang selalu TTDI Jaya dimana rumah aku terletak tu banjir. Rumah aku tu terletak dilokasi yang agak tinggi berbanding rumah2 lain. Sejak aku beli banyak kali kawasan tu banjir, tapi rumah aku mmg tak naik air ... tapi bila aku dapat tahu kat dalam rumah aku pun air paras pinggang aku jadik terkedu ... Dalam hati aku habislah koleksi buku2 aku ... dan habislah gambar2 aku dari aku kecik sampai aku kawin sampai aku ade anak ..... kat dalam stor. uwaa ... kalau aku berada sekadar 1000km radius memang aku dah balik dah tapi ... ni nah ko berapa ribu kilometer nih. Sekarang ni aku masih menunggu update dari kakak2 dan abang ipar aku yang pergi ke rumah aku tu. Sedihnyaaaa......

Blogging form uni again
After a while aku tak blogging dari uni ... sekarang bermulalah kembali era blogging from uni .... maknanya kelas aku dah start lah!! takde apa cerita aku nak tulis harini cuma nak cerita semalam aku tengok coverage winter olympic kat channel Prime. At last Aussies dapat satu gold medal tahun ni acara Moghul, whis is the third ever gold medal for Australia in winter olympic history. Tapi yang kelakarnya semalam dia peri tunjuk last olympic (2000) gold medal yang diaorg menang. 1000m speed skating individual. Mamat Aussie ni dapat masuk final bersama2 4 orang peserta lain dari China, Korea, Russia, USA & Germans. Masa tu dah masuk final round & final corner dan mamat ni tertinggal jauh dibelakang 4 peserta lain ... tetiba semua 4 pelumba kat depan tu ter'accident' at the last corner tu. hahahahaha mamat Aussie yang tertinggal jauh kat belakang ni terus menang Gold .... hahahaha sapa sangka from zero to hero! itulah tuah ayam nampak di kaki tuah mamat ni sebab dia last sekali. Jadi moral of the story tak semestinya kalau kita all the way in our life ni successful it doesn't mean that we will ended up in victory!!! macam imam cakap last jumaat's khutbah ... jangan kita menjadi orang yang bankrupt di akhirat akibat daripada tidak menitik beratkan soal muamalah (hubungan sesama manusia). Kerana 4 corners of islam adalah: Akidah; Ibadah; Akhlak; dan Muamalah. Semua kena ada untuk menjadikan seseorang islam itu berjaya di Dunia dan Akhirat. Oklah aku nak buat research untuk thesis aku pulak ni. tajuk agak berat sebab aku nak buat the comparative study between Underground/parallel banking & Money Laundering. Ok Chow chendol!!!!
P/S: Last week aku tengok cerita Cool Running ... rasanya dah banyak kali aku tengok cerita ni ... tapi still suka tengok ... sebab cerita tu membuktikan takde perkara mustahil dalam dunia ... negara yang takde snow pun boleh main bobsleigh (ejaan tibai aje ni)... Malaysia bila lagi? kayanya Malaysia BOLEH!!!!. Jamaica Man ....
Hairan
Minggu lepas aku tengok rancangan Today Tonight. Ada satu segment ni pasal a couple umur 13 tahun dah ada anak. Budak ni dua2 sekolah lagi dan currently stay together ikut rotation at both parents house. Tak boleh imagine what's in their mind...

Sebenarnya keempat2 mereka ada Australian Citizenship. Dalam kelas tu aku sorang aje yang tak ada citizenship.THE University of Wollongong has let loose a new breed of bean counter after the first year of its unique masters in forensic accounting program.
Four students -- two from Australia, one from Poland and one from Canada -- completed the full-time online course late last year and are now equipped to pore over company books with unprecedented analytical skills.
The forensic accountants are trained to look for "red flags'' even before they get to the financial records room.
They have been trained in interviewing techniques that will show up dishonesty and evasiveness; they will know how to judge a company's situation by the demeanour of management and staff; and they will be able to analyse in finer detail the mountains of data they will mine.
Forensic accounting had been a part of life at big firms for years but Wollongong was the first university in the world to take the discipline, hitherto taught in-house, to the university level, course co-ordinator Kathie Cooper says.
This year, 35 students from across the world have signed up for the one-year program.
Part-timers can take longer but, because the course is online, most candidates are able to continue in full-time work.
They are only required to be on campus for a three-day intensive residential for each subject.
This year's intake of students includes a lawyer with the ACT Department of Public Prosecutions, accountants in insolvency practices, a senior examiner at the Central Bank of Malaysia and a university auditor from Indonesia.
News of the degree was spread by word of mouth among accountants, helped along by support and advertisements from the professional body CPA Australia.
Teacher Annamaria Kurtovic, of Wollongong's school of accounting and finance, says forensic accountants would have been able to prevent or at least lessen the impact of some spectacular corporate collapses in recent years, such as Enron in the US and HIH and Harris Scarfe in Australia.
"Auditors had never been taught to look for fraud and that is the reason we had so many collapses overseas and in Australia,'' Kurtovic says. Auditors had only been taught how to sift through the rubble after the event, looking for a cause.
Now, forensic accountants can look for trouble spots before a collapse takes the business, and its investors, down. And the proliferation of mum and dad investors in the past decade means there are now far more potential victims of corporate catastrophes.
Cooper says: "Ideally, forensic accounting is not just dealing with fraud, it's getting information ready for public debate or a court case.''
Students in Wollongong's masters program take part in moot court cases, where their efficacy as expert witnesses will be tested. Real lawsuits will be used as case studies, with students from the university's law faculty acting as judges and prosecutors. Kurtovic says students would be taught to look for red flags.
"We will teach them to look at the culture of management: do they seem cold and evasive on certain issues?
"They will look at staff levels, qualifications and abilities, dissatisfaction of employees: you need to be able to talk to people at all levels.
"We will teach interviewing techniques and how to identify dishonesty,'' she says.
Cooper says the graduates would be trained to advise companies how to get themselves out of trouble to avoid a collapse. "The idea we had was that the forensic accountant could go into a firm if cracks were appearing and do an assessment and say, `You've got weaknesses here and here and here, you must put these practices in place','' she says.
"It's not just a case of going in after the fact; they identify problems before they get out of hand.''
They would look for evidence of what is known as "the fraud triangle'': opportunity, motivation and rationalisation.
"They would look for people with financial problems or people who were very entrepreneurial, because they are more likely to cut corners,'' Cooper says.
The course was many years in the making. Cooper and Kurtovic had identified a need for a certain kind of detailed knowledge and worked towards designing a course that would help prevent disasters.
"It was a long process: we thought about what we wanted to achieve, what would help business, and we looked at what was missing from the regulatory framework which caused such collapses,'' Kurtovic says.
FORENSIC INSTITUTE
THE first cohort of graduates from the masters in forensic accounting course have made sure they will stay in touch.
Even before they had finished study, they had plans to start up an industry body.
The Institute of Forensic Accountants was born last month with eight foundation directors: three of the four graduands; two other students and the three-member teaching team of Kathie Cooper, Annamaria Kurtovic and Judith Marychurch.
Kurtovic says: "We needed a body that forensic accountants could be a part of.
"Also, it will be a point of contact for lawyers looking for an expert witness, because there was no one place where they could look previously.''
The group will hold conferences and offer short courses. It also plans to launch a journal next year.
