Boxing legend Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) passes away at 74 in Phoenix |
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali passes away at 74 following a respiratory illness.
Ali was fighting for his life in an Arizona hospital on Friday, with a source close to his family describing his condition as "very grave".
"The condition is very grave," a source close to Ali's family had told AFP on condition on anonymity as concern mounted for the beloved sporting icon.
The 74-year-old former heavyweight world champion was hospitalized on Thursday. US media reported his respiratory trouble was complicated by his Parkinson's disease.
Ali spokesman Bob Gunnell earlier told the Courier-Journal in Ali's hometown of Louisville that the fighter remained in fair condition and that a brief stay was still expected.
Gunnell noted the "media frenzy" touched off each time the iconic fighter is hospitalized, but multiple media reports that Ali's condition was deteriorating triggered widespread concern on Friday evening.
One source suggested to the Los Angeles Times that Ali could be hours from death.
US celebrity news websiteradaronline.com quoted an anonymous source as saying Ali required help breathing and that worried family members had gathered at his bedside.
Ali, known globally not only for his storied ring career but also for his civil rights activism, has been hospitalized multiple times in recent years.
He spent time in hospital in 2014 after suffering a mild case of pneumonia and again in 2015 for a urinary tract infection.
His Parkinson's, thought to be linked to the thousands of punches he took during a career that spanned three decades, has limited his public speaking for years.
But he has continued to make appearances and offer opinions through his family members and spokespeople.
Prayers for an idol
In April, he attended a Celebrity Fight Night Dinner in Phoenix that raised funds for treatment of Parkinson's.
In December, he issued a statement rebuking US presidential hopeful Donald Trump's call for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Ali -- whose legendary boxing career stretched from 1960 to 1981 -- dazzled fans with slick moves in the ring, and with his wit and engaging persona outside it.
His opposition to the Vietnam War saw him banned from the sport for years, but the US Supreme Court overturned his conviction for draft dodging in 1971.
Once vilified in some quarters for his conversion to Islam and his outspoken stance on civil rights issues, Ali held firm to earn dozens of tributes, lighting the Olympic torch in 1996 in Atlanta and being named a UN messenger of peace in 1998.
He received the highest US civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2005.

Demam Denggi
Di Malaysia, setiap tahun kita akan mendengar kes-kes jangkitan Demam Denggi. Tahun 2014 baru bermula, namun Demam Denggi sudah mula meragut nyawa, termasuk salah seorang wartawan ASTRO bernama Samson.
Adakah anda kenal apa itu Demam Denggi? Sila baca maklumat di bawah dr KKM:
Pengenalan
Demam denggi adalah sejenis penyakit jangkitan virus yang merebak melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes aegypti yang telah dijangkiti.
Terdapat empat (4) jenis virus yang boleh menyebabkan demam denggi (DEN 1, DEN 2, DEN 3 dan DEN 4).
Jangkitan oleh salah satu jenis virus akan memberikan imuniti terhadap virus jenis itu sahaja, jika individu tinggal di kawasan jangkitan denggi, mereka boleh di jangkiti lebih dari sekali seumur hidupnya.
Lebih 100 negara di Asia Selatan, Asia Tenggara, Afrika, Amerika Timur Mediterranean dan Pasifik Barat mengalami masalah denggi.
Tanda dan gejala
- Kebiasaannya demam akan terjadi pada hari ke tiga (3) hingga ke empat belas (14) selepas digigit oleh nyamuk yang dijangkiti, kebiasaannya di antara 4 hingga 7 hari.
- Selalunya ia akan bermula dengan demam kuat yang mengejut, sakit kepala yang teruk/kuat, sakit pada bahagian belakang mata serta otot-otot dan sendi-sendi. Ruam merah di kulit juga boleh terjadi.
- Demam ini boleh mencapai suhu 40 - 41 C, dan selalunya akan berlarutan selama 2 hingga 7 hari. Ia juga boleh menyebabkan serangan sawan dikalangan kanak-kanak di bawah umur 6 tahun. Sakit teruk pada tulang-tulang, otot-otot dan sendi-sendi. Demam denggi ini juga dikenali sebagai "breakbone fever".
- Ruam selalunya akan tumbuh pada hari ke 3 dan 4 selepas bermulanya demam.
- Muntah dan kurang selera makan.
Pemastian diagnosa penyakit
Antibodi akan dikesan di dalam darah (Dengue IgM) (Antibodi yang dihasilkan oleh sistem pertahanan badan untuk melawan jangkitan).
Ujian PCR (kaedah mengesan genetik virus) boleh mengesan virus denggi di dalam darah dan nyamuk boleh didapati di sesetengah makmal.
NSI antigen: Satu lagi test yang mengesan virus ini pada peringkat awal/demam.
Rawatan
- Segera berjumpa dengan doktor kerana tiada ubat yang khusus untuk merawat demam denggi.
- Rehat dan banyakkan minum air masak. Ubat paracetamol boleh diambil untuk menurunkan demam dan mengurangkan kesakitan.
- Elakkan ubat aspirin bagi kanak-kanak di bawah umur 12 tahun.
- Mandi jerlum.
- Antibiotik tidak diperlukan.
Demam Denggi Berdarah
Merupakan demam denggi yang teruk disebabkan oleh jangkitan virus denggi.
Kebiasaan tanda sakit adalah sama dengan demam denggi. Pesakit akan menjadi teruk disebabkan oleh radangan di salur darah. Tanda-tanda yang biasa termasuklah muntah, pitam dan sakit di bahagian abdomen.
Salur darah di dalam badan boleh mengalami kebocoran dan menyebabkan isi padu darah berkurangan. Ini boleh menyebabkan pesakit mengalami renjatan (shock) dan akhirnya boleh menyebabkan kematian.
Tiada ubat-ubatan yang khusus untuk merawat demam denggi. Pesakit perlu dimasukkan ke wad bagi rawatan demam denggi berdarah. Rawatan awal boleh mengelakkan kematian dengan kadar kurang daripada 1%. Pesakit akan diberikan rehidrasi untuk memastikan beliau tidak mengalami renjatan.
Walaupun nama penyakit ini demam denggi berdarah, masalah yang membawa kemudaratan adalah masalah kebocoran salur darah yang menyebabkan renjatan dan bukan pendarahan yang menjadi masalah utama.
Faktor penyumbang
Intravena:
- Pembangunan yang pesat di bandar-bandar terutama di Negara Tropika menyebabkan kepadatan penduduk tinggi dan tapak binaan yang banyak.
- Peningkatan penggunaan bahan plastik dan pembuangan tayar lama boleh menyebabkan pembiakan nyamuk yang baru.
- Pergerakan manusia dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain menyebabkan penularan berlaku dengan cepat.
Pencegahan
Pada masa sekarang tiada vaksin untuk mengubati demam denggi. Walau bagaimanapun usaha-usaha sedang dijalankan untuk menghasilkan vaksin tersebut.
Elakkan gigitan nyamuk dengan:
- Gunakan ubat nyamuk.
- Gunakan kelambu semasa tidur. Gunakan 'repellent' jika perlu.
- Elakkan aktiviti semasa nyamuk aktif menggigit (5.30 pagi-8.00 pagi dan 5.30 petang-8.00 malam).
- Pakai pakaian berlengan panjang dan seluar panjang apabila keluar daripada rumah.
- Pasang jaring halus (mosquito mesh) di tingkap dan pintu.
Menghapuskan tempat-tempat pembiakan nyamuk:
- Menghapuskan tempat pembiakan nyamuk di sekeliling rumah. Musnahkan semua bekas yang boleh menakung air hujan atau lebihan air, terutamanya di besen, tayar lama, bekas bunga, bekas plastik dan tong. Jika tidak boleh dimusnahkan, letakkan bahan pembunuh jentik-jentik di bekas tersebut.
- Kerap tukar air di bekas minuman haiwan peliharaan.
Jika anak anda disyaki mengalami sakit denggi dan dipantau sebagai pesakit luar (tidak dimasukkan ke wad), bawa anak anda segera ke hospital/klinik jika:
- Muntah berlarutan/berpanjangan.
- Sakit perut.
- Kurang bermaya/sawan.
- Sesak nafas.
- Pucat/sejuk pada tangan dan kaki.
- Pendarahan: daripada gusi/hidung, muntah darah, najis berdarah dan tanda-tanda merah pada kulit.

TITANIC (the most memorable movie) is coming back in 3D
The "Titanic" was released at the end of 1997, when I was still single and crazily in love with someone known as Rose (now still married to her.. always love you, dear).
Soon in April 2012, after more than 14 years, "Titanic" will be coming back in 3D!!!
I can't wait to watch "Titanic" again with my loved ones, including my 2 princesses.
Just want to share photos of Rose & Jack (Now & Then):

Proton Prevè is 4543 mm long, 1786 mm width and, 1524 mm high, while the wheelbase is 2650 mm and the boot capacity is 506 liters.
As the engine is concerned, the offer will be 1.6 liter petrol engine with 80 kW/109KS and 150 Nm, and 1.6 liter gasoline turbo with 103 kW/140KS and 205 Nm.
The transmission will be available five-manual, seven-speed CVT transmission and transmission Protronic.
Depending on the engine and gearbox, Proton Preve will reach from 170 to 190 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.6 seconds to 12.5.
For price and specs comparison:
Seems that Proton Prevè could compete its rivals of the same class.
With the specs and add-on, seems worth it to own this Proton Prevè.
Don't you think? :)

Full Lunar Eclipse in Malaysia (10 Dec 2011)
Firstly, I am so happy that I was able to shoot the stages of the Full Lunar Eclipse in Malaysia.
This was the 2nd one for the year of 2011 (the 1st one occured on 16th June 2011).
When it happened on 16th June, it was too late at night (01:00am) and it was too cloudy.
But this time, I managed to shot this marvellous phenomenon and combined the shots to see the phases of it.
Allahu Akbar... Allahu Akbar... Allahu Akbar... (Allah Is Great) !!!!
