When you were at a sports shop, I’m sure you’ve seen some colourful rubber bracelet or necklace inside the glass display or hanging on the display cabinet. Well, you must have seen the metal type too…

What are these colourful stuffs?… Some of them are just plain rubber bracelet printed with sports brand or team and some with hard black thingy on it like stone… If you still don’t know what are they, the one with the black thingy on it are called power bracelet or aura bracelet… the black thingy usually magnets, but some are special stones… rare stones… and they cost more than the plain rubber bracelets.

The metal bracelets with rare stones or magnets cost extremely higher compared to the rubber type. They looks more like jewellery… usually golfer wear these… and people just called it golfers bracelet… but I guess it depends what sports the wearer play… if the wearer play tennis, they probably called it tennis bracelet…

What so special with these bracelets?… According to the text printed on its box, it helps relieve or relax the body… 😛 How true? I have no I idea… But lots claims it really do have some power or healing capabilities… I used the rubber type when I was playing golf before, but not for long… probably the reason I did not feel anything…

The PM announced the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative to build an Academic Medical Centre in his 2011 budget speech today. The PM said, this will enhance the private sector involvement in economic activities… the project details is… the project is a joint venture between Academic Medical Centre Sdn Bhd, Johns Hopkins Medical International and the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland.

But some quarters said, the government should maintain and upgrade the current healthcare system.  Privatized healthcare is making healthcare inaccessible and unaffordable to low-income consumers. Government needs to increase the allocation for public healthcare services to upgrade the quality of services.

Whatever it is, we hope, the Academic Medical Centre will produce high quality health professionals and the government have to make sure there are enough health care jobs available out there so that the products from the academy don’t go into waste…
