Ministry to investigate reports of chemical residues in imported ‘Shine Muscat’ grapes | Malay Mail

 

PASIR PUTEH: The Agriculture and Food Security Ministry will inspect imported Shine Muscat grapes alleged to contain harmful chemical residues, as claimed by Thailand.

Its minister, Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, said the matter would be referred to relevant agencies, including the Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute, for verification.

He added that if the claims were confirmed, the ministry would make an announcement and take appropriate action.

"However, so far, we have not received any complaints regarding this matter. Verification will be conducted," he said.

Let’s flip it the other way round .. when u received a kindness in part , there is always this lingering notion that there is a hidden agenda. The other part is, if there is no hidden agenda , u may feel that u have a emotional bank balance owe to the giver and hence is reluctant to accept anything 

Yeah. Me no like receive help.

I remember one time in carouhell I put my fridge for sale. Then one lady offer say that's the best she can do as she is from low income and her fridge spoil. But it was on reserve for the other guy so I told her I will use the earnings from that fridge with a little top up and buy her a new one. Asked her for the measurement and volume and she even send me her social help card as proof which I din request. So I bought one from courts online and sent to her house. She took a photo of the new fridge and sent back to me. Felt good to help.

No, I don't do volunteer or donations generally.

dun think of help as in monetary or big favour, small small gesture also help. People give up seat for me, i will gladly sit down and say thank you, likewise i will give up my seat to other when they need it more. I will thank people who hold and lift or door for me but dun i expect other to thank me if i do that for them, no need cos i do it out of my own will.

Giving help not necessary expecting a return, and accepting help also no need to guess other for having agenda when they help, so many guessing or calculation 算计 only make the world more complicated. I dun guess, i just gladly take.

Anyone want to treat me lunch, dinner a bit difficult cos usually reserved for wife :D

True, giving help not necessary expecting a return, and accepting help also no need to guess other for having agenda when they help. But too bad many people don't think this way.

The other day when i help my colleague, and then another colleague found out what i have done, he said why i am so stupid by not asking a return when helping.

Suggest to read this book, "Give and Take" from Adam Grant

https://www.amazon.sg/dp/0143124986?ref_=mr_referred_us_sg_sg

I think this is a must read book for anyone working  in the corporate world .

I am thinking about this, about what kind of people and society we want here in Singapore.

The truth is, the current world situation now is quite difficult and unpredictable. And unfortunately bad things can happen when you don't expect it, sometimes even with the best of planning.

So, when bad things happen, whether individually or collectively as a country, should those in a position to help, reach out to help?

Or is it every person for themselves, you die your problem?

The above are good thoughts and really nice to see someone here thinking about this.

However, for people to help one another, our community has to be at least considerate and kind towards each other first.  Today, we are still far from that.  People are still mostly inconsiderate and we see such behaviours all the time resulting in outcomes such as road rage to neighbor disputes.

One day people will realize that to have abuundance/success  for themselves, the best way is to serve/give or help others first.

Always received Messages from Old '' Friends'' that never contact,asking for Loans,i helped twice,but never get back my Money.

A few years back, I also received a fb msg from one of my school "friend", who had not contacted me in more than 10 years. As expected, asked to borrow money. At least he was honest and told me it was for gambling debts :D Nonetheless, I still rejected him. lol

I find in current world context, every person is for themselves and you die your problem. Those so called friends might not able to help you. It is always ended up you help yourself.

In most cases, it's always about money. In that context, my thinking is always not to bite off more than you can chew. If I can control my spending, why can't you? So if you get into financial problems because of your own lack of discipline, don't expect others to help you.
