The better sentiment early in the year was in part due to upbeat buying by investors, especially retailers after the Chinese New Year holidays. This catapulted the market to reach levels not seen in 14 years in terms of trading volume. Some proposed acquisitions also boosted market sentiment, for example, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi buying a stake in Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings for more than a billion ringgit. Nevertheless, the market declined 14% from its 1Q-07 high to 1,109.56 on 3 March 2007. This was due to turbulence from overseas market trading, e.g., sharp decline on China’s exchanges. On an encouraging note, rapid recovery saw the local market close 1Q-07 at 1,246.9 points – up 13.7% from end 2006.

For anything to be meaningful, first it has to be useful; useful to both oneself and society. There are few subjects today that have been more useful to society than science. From science comes technology, which has arguably brought about the biggest change in society ever. Science and technology have freed humans to do more things, faster and more efficiently. This has resulted in a wealthier society, which, in return, gives us back time so that we could become more innovative. Today, innovation is the key factor that brings change - good or bad. Change is important, but is all change good? Can change bring us happiness? Would just learning facts and figures help us make better decisions in life or help solve complex problems? We believe that these are some of the very important questions that need to be answered, especially among the youth. They are to face a world that will change at a pace never seen before on Earth.

  • Change in Public Awareness of Colorectal Cancer Symptoms
    Schliemann et al. BMC Cancer (2020) 20:252 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-020-06742-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Change in public awareness of colorectal cancer symptoms following the Be Cancer Alert Campaign in the multi-ethnic population of Malaysia Désirée Schliemann1* , Darishiani Paramasivam2, Maznah Dahlui2,3, Christopher R. Cardwell1, Saunthari Somasundaram4, Nor Saleha Binti Ibrahim Tamin5, Conan Donnelly6, Tin Tin Su2,7 and Michael Donnelly1 Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) cases are detected late in Malaysia similar to most Asian countries. The Be Cancer Alert Campaign (BCAC) was a culturally adapted mass media campaign designed to improve CRC awareness and reduce late detection in Malaysia. The evaluation of the BCAC-CRC aimed to assess campaign reach, campaign impact and health service use. Methods: Participants aged ≥40 years (n = 730) from randomly selected households in Selangor State Malaysia, completed interview-based assessments. Campaign reach was assessed in terms of responses to an adapted questionnaire that was used in evaluations in other countries. The impact of the campaign was assessed in terms of awareness, confidence to detect symptoms and self-efficacy to discuss symptoms with a doctor as captured by the Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM). CAM was administered before-and-after campaign implementation and responses by BCAC recognisers (i.e. participants who recognised one or more of the BCAC television, radio or print advertisements when prompted) and non-recognisers (i.e. participants who did not recognise any of the BCAC advertisements) were compared analytically. Logistic regression analysed comparative differences in cancer awareness by socio-demographic characteristics and recognition of the BCAC materials.
