PENANG, MALAYSIA: Penang is feeling the impact of the global economic meltdown, with the state government expecting about 100 employees in various industries to lose their jobs after the Chinese New Year.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said Friday (16 Jan) that most of the companies had given their assurance not to retrench workers but some would have to close after the Chinese New year due to the financial crisis.
There were companies cutting salaries and over-time payments, reducing working hours, not giving bonus and requesting their employees to clear their annual to reduce operating costs but he hoped that they would not retrench wokers.
Jobstreet, Southeast Asia's largest online employment company, had set up a special retrenchment helpline which would be launched next week, he told reporters after meeting the American Chamber of Commerce representative here.
"The initiative is to give hope and help those unemployed and retrenched to obtain jobs as soon as posible," he said.
Meanwhile, to ensure that there is no massive retrenchment in Penang, Lim urged the federal government to direct Tenaga Nasional Bhd to decrease the electricity tariff and reduce the frequency of interruption of electricity to companies which he said was causing them major losses.
He also urged the federal government to waive the compulsory one per cent contribution to the Human Resource Development Fund by employers to help them cut costs. (Bernama)

After the "short" hard training for the Penang Brigde Run I didnt get a fucking medal. My leg were killing me at the starting of the race.I did eat a packet of power gel for free it's not a tasty thing I would say.I was confidient to get that medal because I reach the other side of the bridge at 6:30am but somehow getting back to the Island took me longer that getting to the mainland because I was walking all the way.I reached the finished line at 8:50am...hmm. better luck next time.

SirensSound comment about Coma

There are just too many bands that goes by the name of "Coma" I tried to google for more info on them but to an endless depth and no avail. So... not only I'm "terribly sorry" for the lack of info on this one but I also have to say the rip is at 128kbps.

However the reason this is up here is clearly to my understanding "Coma" is a a band that will be "Loved", "Adore" and "Praise" by the majority who comes around. The opening of this "Unlease ep" as far as I know. is just under 05:00mins and hell they got my attention so deep that I can't stop play this over and over.
