Dapur For Darfur Fund

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Monday launched the "Dapur" For Darfur Fund to provide aid to more than two million refugees in Darfur, Sudan.

The "Tabung Dapur Untuk Darfur" (Kitchen Fund For Darfur) is jointly organised by Dewan Pemuda Masjid Malaysia and TV3.

The public can send their donations to the Tabung Dapur Untuk Darfur TV3 through the Maybank account no. 514271-339000 or the website at www.mayban2u.com or their crossed cheques to Tabung Dapur Untuk Darfur (TDD TV3) No 3, Sri Pentas, Persiaran Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya.

Self-service Check-in

You will now have one fewer queue to face, following the introduction of self-service check-in at the KL International Airport (KLIA).

With just your passport, credit card or e-ticket, you will be able to check-in at the Common Use Self Service (CUSS) kiosk and get their boarding pass in a little over a minute.

The kiosk, which resembles an automated-teller machine, has a touch screen and is powered by an IBM ThinkPad computer.

The CUSS kiosk was different from airline-dedicated kiosks as it would be able to service multiple airlines.

Malaysian Medical Concil Website

The public can now check the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) website to find out if a doctor is a registered practitioner.

You can go to www.mmc.gov.my to find out if the doctor was registered with the council.

The website also lists nine ethical guidelines, including those on ethical implications for doctors in conflict situations, brain death, medical records and medical reports, dissemination of information by the medical profession and organ transplantation.
