Kampung Buah Pala, Who are the losers?
Picture Source: Star Paper
Today Star news saying that the bulldozers are ready to demolish the houses soon. While the FRU also come and standby by there. Most of the villagers have rejected the double-storey house proposal. Only 5 of them have agreed to move out.
This is the best offer I had seen. The double storey house in Penang is worth from RM400k-RM500k. Especially, the Buah Pala is located in the center of Penang. Most of Penangite work for life also will never able to buy a double storey house.
The compensation will never be so good if no state government involvement in it. My father's good friend's house had also been demolished by a developer in Paya Terubong a few months ago. His house was a double storey house with 2000-3000 sf. He has run back and forth seeking for politicians' help. No one is willing to help. What he got for the compensation? Only RM20k!
Ironically, most villagers have rejected the double storey house and continue to ask for more. Do they think that they are at the winner side?

Are your food container safe?
I recently come across some food container grading. I think it is good to share it here :)
Simply take a container from your kitchen, look at the bottom of the container and check for the grade. Normally, it is located at the bottom with a number (grade) in a triangle.
The grading can tell us what it makes from and whether it is safe or not.
Grade 1 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) . Normally we can see this in mineral water bottle. It can be used one time only, shouldn't reuse it because the chemical will be unstable when reusing it.
Grade 2 High-density polyethylene (HDPE) . More rigid and harder than LDPE. This is the best plastic that suitable for food storage.
Grade 4 Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) . Good resistance to most chemicals.
Grade 5 Polypropylene (PP). Good resistance to most chemicals.
Basically, if your food container is grade 2, 4 and 5, you are safe. other grade like 1 (only one time use), 3, 6 and 7 are not recommended to store food in kitchen.

I recently got my adsense account disabled, why? I totally lost.. I never click my ads and yet my account was disabled! Luckily, I don't have much money in my account, or else I will mad! May be adsense is not a good way to make money as the Google will never justify the reasons they disable your account. You can appeal, but i think the chances to restore your account is very small. Once your appeal is unsuccessful, you can just forget about google and find other advertisers!
