Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the Government would make the single-pry surgical mask as a price-controlled item indefinitely during the current Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic. |

Parts of India are on track for severe water shortages, according to results from Nasa's gravity satellites.
The Grace mission discovered that in the country's north-west - including Delhi - the water table is falling by about 4cm (1.6 inches) per year. Writing in the journal Nature, they say rainfall has not changed, and water use is too high, mainly for farming. The finding is published two days after an Indian government report warning of a potential water crisis. That report noted that access to water was one of the main factors governing the pace of development in the world's second most populous nation. |

The Malaysian consumer is evolving. From self-denial to self-indulgence, from materialism to experientialism and from preferring Western values to choosing Asian wisdom. These were among the findings published in the recently released Grey Group 2009 Eye on Asia study that marketers can leverage on to better understand consumers. The study was based on a quantitative survey conducted online and face-to-face towards the end of last year. The survey spanned 16 Asian countries and involved 8,100 respondents, with 500 or more respondents from each country. In Malaysia, about 500 respondents were involved. |
