Another local production

Oh my God~~
Local film production again!!!
Highly interested in all of it.
Well, we as Malaysian should do some part of us in order to support those kind of local film productions.
There is undeniable that some people may think of local film production equals to low quality or even not worth to buy tickets and head out to the cinema and have a view of it.
That is the lamest thing to think of such way!!! You guys know what? A film industry is not an easy way to go through. How many people around us were trying hard in order to become famous. Not famous of their appearance or even their outfits, but is all about their productions.


They have been put so much efforts on it just to hope that others can support or even just kindly comment about that. They feel dissapointed when some of them were saying local production is such like shit production. They feel dispressed when they couldn't even get the supports from the others.

They do not care what have been giving out. They even do not care about how much time have been wasted. They just hope that we as Malaysian are willingly to sacrifice our time and as well as money to buy the tickets in order to support the local film production.

Perhaps there is another hope for all the local directors. They are still believe in what they are seeing right now. They are still believe themselves and thus they know they can even do better than the others.

p/s: This film will be showing up in cinema start from 15th April~~

Local film production

Well, let's talk about some kind of entertainment news that happened around us recently. I found that actually there are lots of genius around us, what I meant is some kind of people who do really spread their intelligence through the right way and as well as through the simple but useful way.

Basically, film production is such as the lamest stuffs which did not recognized by the old generations. They do always think that people who are in charge of this cannot earn any income from that. Well, this was the opinions from our old and past generations.
This is not suitable to apply in our current lives anymore. There is no such thing to comment about the film production whether it makes money or not.

Meanwhile, some people may think that film production is such a great thing which can be shared among their friends. They do have the almost same view points among each others. Therefore, they think that is another way to diccuss about the arts of film production.

Obama to sign U.S. healthcare overhaul into law

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will sign into law on Tuesday landmark healthcare legislation, a hard-fought victory that will help shape his legacy and the Democrats' chances of holding power in the U.S. Congress.

After signing the bill -- designed to revamp the $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare industry -- Obama will speak at a ceremony with lawmakers in the culmination of a yearlong push that eroded his popularity.

The Senate is taking up a package of changes this week that the House of Representatives proposed to improve the bill. Republicans say their anger over the bill's passage may make them less likely to work with Democrats on other items such as climate change legislation and immigration reform.

The bill's passage will also free Obama to devote time to other priorities, including pushing for congressional approval of a plan reform and tighten financial regulations.

Aides have described a euphoric atmosphere at the White House after the House on Sunday narrowly approved the healthcare legislation, which analysts had pronounced all but dead only a few weeks earlier.

Obama put his reputation on the line and poured his energy into passing the bill, even delaying a planned trip to Indonesia and Australia.

The overhaul will extend health coverage to 32 million Americans, expand the government health plan for the poor, impose new taxes on the wealthy and bar insurance practices like refusing cover to people with pre-existing medical conditions.

Obama's intense focus on the issue drew criticism from some Democrats who worried healthcare was becoming a distraction from the need to fix the economy and boost jobs.

But with a major accomplishment in hand, Obama will be able to counter critics who have suggested he had little to show for his 14 months in office.

"I have no regrets. Nor do I have any fears about November as a result of this," David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obama, said on CBS's "The Early Show."

Americans have been lukewarm toward healthcare reform and Republicans hope to capitalize on that in November's congressional elections, in which they hope to overturn or at least reduce Democratic majorities in the Senate and House.

Republicans have vowed to try to repeal the healthcare bill.

"The reality of it is that no one paid attention to the American people for the past year. And the American people have been to the point of outrage on this issue," Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said on NBC's "Today Show."

The Republican National Committee is particularly targeting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, credited with shepherding through the bill's passage, in a fund-raising pitch on its website that features an image of her against flames as if she were in an inferno.

The signing ceremonies and a planned trip by Obama to Iowa on Thursday will allow him a chance to celebrate the victory and try to sell Americans on the benefits of the bill.

Thursday's event, in which Obama is not expected to take any questions from the public, is part of what is expected to be a public relations blitz by the president, who has assured lawmakers who backed the bill that he will throw himself into the effort to sell the bill and campaign for them against the expected furious Republican election challenges.

A CBS News poll found only 29 percent of Americans believe the overhaul will make the system better, while 34 percent said it would make it worse and 28 percent said they were not sure.

The legislation marks the biggest change in the system since the Medicare health program for the elderly was created in 1965 and fulfills a goal that eluded many of Obama's predecessors for a century, most recently including Bill Clinton in 1994.

Republicans have labelled the $940 billion healthcare scheme a government intrusion into the economy and warn it would drive up the budget deficit.

"The reality of it is this is a bad bill," Steele said on CBS.

"I think every effort should be afoot right now to repeal it, to start with something that's centered on those cost centers that are driving the costs of healthcare right now, not this massive overhaul of healthcare."

Chong Wei committed to Masters Finals and SEA Games

It will be another major test of world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei’s resolve when he makes the attempts to retain the Super Series Masters Finals title and to win the SEA Games individual gold medal for the first time.

Chong Wei has committed to play in the back-to-back competitions after discussions with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) management on his return from the China Open in Shanghai on Monday.

National singles coach Rashid Sidek said that Chong Wei would travel with the badminton squad to Vientiane for the SEA Games as scheduled on Dec 8 after competing in the Masters Finals in Johor Baru.

Chong Wei had expressed concerns as the SEA Games competitions (Dec 10-17) will be held four days after the completion of the Masters Finals (Dec 2-6). Having recovered fully from a left knee injury recently, Chong Wei feared it would act up again and was in two minds over competing in Laos.

Chong Wei skipped the Opens in Denmark and French Opens last month and made a successful comeback by bagging his first Hong Kong Open title two weeks ago. But he suffered a first-round defeat by Dane Jan Jorgensen in the China Open.

“We discussed with his coach (Misbun Sidek) that he will play in the team and individual events in the SEA Games,” said Rashid.

“He will be okay as he is not carrying any injury. Besides, we will only play our first tie in the team competition on Dec 12 as we have a direct entry into the semi-finals as the top seeds.



“Moreover, the chances are that we need Chong Wei more for the final the following day when we will should be meeting Indonesia.

“It is the individual competition where we hope Chong Wei will secure his first individual SEA Games gold medal as the draw looks good for him,”

Chong Wei should have no problem clearing the first two rounds to reach the semi-finals where he will play against either Simon Santoso of Indonesia or Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand.

If Chong Wei makes the final, he will be up against Vietnamese dangerman Nguyen Tien Minh or top Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro, who has a first-round match against Malaysia’s Mohd Hafiz Hashim.

Chong Wei led Malaysia to claim the team gold medal in the 2005 Manila Games but only managed to win the individual bronze.

Rashid added there is also no choice but for Chong Wei to feature in the Masters Finals to fulfil the obligations to the sponsors and also the home fans.

“We are hosting the tournament and the fans will want to see him in action in Johor Baru,” he added.

Chong Wei is the top men’s singles qualifier for the Masters Finals, which feature eight players.
