KUALA LUMPUR: There seemed to be an "understanding" between government enforcement officers, especially when it comes to enforcing road rules. This "apparent agreement" was evident yesterday at a roadblock in Jalan Raja Laut here, which was mounted to nab motorists who did not wear seat-belts in the ongoing "Buckle up" campaign. |

 By Alice Park Wednesday, Apr. 21, 2010 By nature, people like sweet foods — really, really sweet foods, apparently. Americans now consume 19% more added sugar in their daily diet than they did in 1970, according to recent figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While it's no secret that all that excess sweetness has helped add inches to the average American waistline — and probably sprouted an extra cavity or two — a new study reveals some less obvious health risks that come with consuming too much added sugar: it can also lead to dangerously high levels of blood fats, and raise the risk of heart disease as much as a diet full of high-fat foods.

The Competition Act is finally coming to light. It has been tabled in Parliament in the current session for approval by the Dewan Rakyat. It has been a long wait; but as they say “better late than never”.
For the protection of consumers, the Competition Act is one of the most important legislation in enhancing consumers’ welfare. The Competition Act is built on the conviction that competition drives firms to become more efficient and to offer greater choice of products and services at lower prices, bringing benefits to consumers. In a competitive market, companies are more efficient and effective in responding to consumers needs in terms of product range, specifications and prices.

 By Geoffrey Cain / Seoul Tuesday, Apr. 20, 2010 Ever since Yoon Hyuk-joo, a 16-year-old in Seoul, started playing the popular computer game StarCraft eight years ago, studying has taken the backseat. For six hours every day in dim, smoky Internet cafes known in the South Korean capital as "PC Bangs," Yoon leads a squad of soldiers in Battlefield Online and then maims the undead in Counter-Strike: Zombies. His idols aren't your usual baseball players or Korean pop-music stars: the high-school student looks to inspiration from Lim Yo-hwan, known in South Korea as "The Emperor." Lim is one of the most successful professional StarCraft players of all time, whose celebrity has spurred fans to label him and his actress girlfriend as the South Korean equivalent of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. |

 LONDON (April 14) -- A leading British clothing chain has been forced to withdraw a line of padded bikini tops for preteen girls from its 138 U.K. stores after politicians, kids' rights campaigners and the country's biggest newspaper accused it of sexualizing children. Cut-price retailer Primark apologized for any offense caused by its $6 padded tops, which were aimed at girls ages 7 to 8 and came in two colors: candy pink and black with white polka dots. "The company has stopped the sale of this product line with immediate effect," a spokesman for the retailer announced. "Primark will donate all the profits made from this product line to a children's charity." |
