M’sians thriving after returning
MALAYSIANS who returned home under the Talent Corporation’s
Returning Expert programme are now serving in various sectors under the
National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) including the finance, oil, gas and
energy sectors, the Dewan was told.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk S.K. Devamany said others were in the communications content, infrastructure, electric and electronic sectors.
“Some who are professionals and highly qualified have been appointed as chief executives of listed companies or as members of senior management in multinational companies,” he said in reply to Datuk Paduka Abu Bakar Taib (BN-Langkawi).
A total of 576 qualified Malaysians had returned home under the programme since January, he said, adding that since the programme was taken over by Talent Corporation, professionals had been provided with incentives.
To further attract qualified Malaysians abroad, he said Talent Corporation initiated outreach programmes to develop its network with Malaysians living abroad in Australia, the United States and Britain.
He said the programmes involved linking up with industries in the country to showcase professional job opportunities and this followed the implementation of the Government’s Economic Transformation Programme.
Devamany added that those who continued living abroad were encouraged to contribute their expertise “wherever they are”.
“As an example, Prof Danny Quah, a lecturer at the renowned London School of Economics, has contributed towards the New Economic Model as a member of the National Economic Action Council,” he noted.
Devamany said Talent Corporation’s incentives under its Returning Expert programme were aimed at facilitating the return of the professionals to serve the nation.

Leniency Can Help Avert Delay In Langkawi Development - Mahathir
LANGKAWI, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamad today expressed the hope for leniency in the government's
implementation of the Langkawi Five-Year Tourism Development Master Plan
so as to avert any delay in the utilisation of the development
allocation.
He said any development project often took a long time for implementation, especially when it came to acquisition of land.
"If there is leniency, we can achieve what we want to do. Acquiring land itself can take up to a year. So, the allocation remains unspent.
"I believe the Kedah government can approve land applications quickly but there are government procedures to follow. This takes time," he told Bernama.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, in tabling Budget 2012, announced that the RM420-million Langkawi Five-Year Tourism Development Master Plan would be launched to promote tourist arrivals and domestic tourism.
Among the initiatives are restructuring the Langkawi Development Authority, setting up a park rangers unit and upgrading museums, beaches and small businesses.

Fenomena 'Moon Halo' Tarik Minat Orang Ramai
Penolong Pegawai Sains Observatori Negara Langkawi, Karzaman Ahmad berkata fenomena bulan yang kelihatan seolah-olah dikelilingi cincin itu berlaku disebabkan pembiasan cahaya bulan yang melalui kristal ais (ketulan ais) pada awan jenis sirus yang terletak kira-kira lima hingga 10 kilometer dari permukaan bumi.
"Cahaya bulan itu akan dibias dan dipantulkan oleh kristal ais maka cincin yang kelihatan di sekiling bulan itu merupakan cahaya bulan yang terserak.
"Cincin tersebut sepatutnya berwarna pelangi namun disebabkan bulan tidak mempunyai cahayanya sendiri (bulan hanya memantulkan cahaya dari matahari) maka kesan warna itu amat terhad dan tidak kelihatan," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama di sini, Isnin.
Beliau berkata fenomena itu juga berlaku bergantung kepada ketulan awan sirus yang berada di atmosfera selain terhasil dalam sudut dan bentuk yang berbeza dalam kristal ais.
"Moon Halo yang terhasil bergantung kepada bentuk kristal ais...ada yang berbentuk heksagon namun malam tadi ia terhasil pada bentuk cincin, sudut 22 darjah," katanya.
Karzaman berkata, fenomena yang berlaku kira-kira lima atau enam bulan sekali itu turut berlaku pada matahari dan dikenali sebagai "Sun Halo".
Beliau turut menolak dakwaan sesetengah individu yang mendakwa bahawa kejadian tersebut memberi petanda sesuatu kejadian buruk akan berlaku kepada bumi.
Lewat malam tadi, ramai di kalangan pengguna laman sosial Facebook dan Twitter yang memuat naik gambar serta membincangkan tentang fenomena itu, yang dikatakan aneh serta menimbulkan pelbagai reaksi.

A flotilla of 80 fishing boats hoisted the Jalur Gemilang in a procession from Pasir Hitam to Teluk Yu.

"We have identified areas in Kuala Temoyong and Pulau Tuba for expansion of the project and we also plan to increase fish breeding grounds."
Johari said the Fisheries Department was considering building a jetty at Pasir Hitam for the benefit of more than 150 fishermen. -- Bernama
