alrite alrite... so i did send my application to the national heritage to get recognition on being the heritage blog... but then they rejected me... even i have stop writting for so long....

So come to think of it... this is the longest break i ever took..... 4 months ? 5 months ? around there...

i can see that my tag box is filled with concern mostly, anger some... and curiosity too... and many more lah.... hahaha to address those concern... im not dead yet... pretty much alive just bz.... sorry for the long "MIA"...

Basically, from the last time i blog, i thik started summer holiday which i had my Clinical Attachment with Pathlab... for 2 months... most of the time i come home tired and got no time to blog (that's just an excuse... but forgive me... hahahaha)...

then when im done... there's Chinese New Year... again... no need to say... had went all out to get ang pow... !!! hahaha

den uni starts... together with new subjects, i also had new responsibility... the council... yeah so basically was plain Busy and on top of that... when assignments and report starts to come in ... both my laptop and desktop all gave up on me... so i cant blog again...

Difference of Pertahanan Awam and RELA

today, my dear readers i am going to just show the difference between Pertahanan Awam and RELA...

yes, pertahanan awam is what i join not RELA... I have always been confused by ppl saying that im a "RELA" which with all due respect is not true.... so i will just list the difference here ....

1. First of all, we are governed by different Ministry
RELA - Ministry of Home Affairs
Pertahanan Awam - Ministry of Internal Security
where The Minister of Home Affairs is Y.B. DATO' SERI MOHD RADZI BIN SHEIKH AHMAD
while the Minister of Internal Security is Y.A.B. DATO' SERI ABDULLAH BIN HAJI AHMAD BADAWI which also is our Prime Minister. So... in this, you can see that we are DIFFERENT...

2. Okey.. Second, Yes we are all volunteers (Sukarelawan) but not all Vonlunteers are to be called "RELA" rite ? RELA stands for Ikatan Relawan Rakyat Malaysia (People's Volunteer Corps)... It's RELAWAN RAKYAT(People's Volunteer) which functions something like home guard(being decribed in thier website).as for us, we are Pertahanan Awam or in english Civil Defence, which defence the country without weapon.

3. Third, we are under different Laws of Malaysia
RELA - Emergency (Essential Powers) Act 1964 (Security Force)
Pertahanan Awam- Act 221 Civil Defence Act, Act 425(Akta Perkhidmatan Negara 1952 Semakan 1990) and Perlembagaan Malaysia Perkara 74 and 77.

RELA was formed under the Emergency (Essential Powers) Act on the 11 January 1972 as voluntary government security apparatus

While us(Pertahanan Awam) is formed in 1939 by the british as a form of Passive Defence under the Emergency Regulation Enactment Chapter 41 to help in the World War II.

By the means of Perlembagaan Malaysia Perkara 74 and 77, Pertahanan Awam is part of the Defence Force of Malaysia.

4. Since we are set up under differnt regualtion and act, our function is totally difference, but some similarity within also...

From www.moha.gov.my/opencms/export/KHEDN/BhgJ2/index.html,

(i)RELA was established to provide opportunities for patriotic citizens to become members of a government security agency which was formed to assist, maintain and safeguard peace and security in the country.
(ii)Its establishment is consistent with the philosophy that the responsibility of defending the sovereignty and independence of the country is in the hands of its own citizens, with all citizens playing their respective roles.

which in short is something like citizen-formed alliance that protect the nation and citizens' peace and security in the country.

As for Pertahanan Awam,

Pertahanan Awam have 2 function in 2 different time, During War and During Peace,

During war,
Civil Defence will protect the country by all means without involving the use of weapon. Action is taking before, during and after the war.

During Peace,
Civil Defence will protect the lives and properties of citizen whether if the action is taken before, during or after the event.

So for the similarity, it will be both of us trying to protect the safety of citizen so there are times that we will be working together.

Motto For RELA is Ready to Serve
Pertahanan Awam is SEDIA PANTAS BERINTEGRITI

5. Officers of RELA could with some regulation carry weapon(gun) when they are doing thier duty but not for Pertahanan Awam.

6. RELA main function is to control the peace while Pertahanan Awam is to save lifes and properties mostly during natural disaster or just "madn-made" disasters, accidents and others. We are trained to perform first aid, RELA too, but that's our primary aim not thier's. We have ambulance services, we are also equipped with essential knowledge and equipment that can save lifes during fire such as fire-bridgage and others, but thier small compare to the Fire Rescue Department (those red ones u see everywhere... )

7. Different logo...
RELA

Pertahanan Awam



8. For u to diffrentiate us when u see one of us...
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
RELA
Notice the Beret ( cap on top of the head) - it's Yellow together with thier badge
The line above the left hand (circled) pocket says thier registered personal "call number" which is detachedable... the name and the number are "stick-on" kind...

on the left sleeve(circled) is a line written "RELA"

as for pertahanan Awam,
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

this is the formal uniform where u can see
the beret - is orange, with gold colour crest on it
on top of left pocket is written "Pertahanan Awam" or "JPA3" instead of number as like RELA... It's sew on and the name is on the right which also is sew on.
The line on the left sleeve is written "Pertahanan Awam"

In general, our uniform is green colour, but the RELA has a lighter green while us is a darker green. u can tell when both stand together... hahaha ...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
sometimes we also wear half uniform during our duty...
the black beret is juz a older version , it does not show anything special ... and the top will be in orange ...

In general , RELA is assocaited to Yellow colour and Pertahanan Awam is Orange

i think that's all i can think now... there are more actually.. so stop getting us confused... and im not a RELA... im a Pertahanan Awam.... stop referring me as RELA or call me one.. hahaha ...

An Ambulance Driving Experience

Oh yeah... so.. i finally drove an ambulance out... Yeah.. and the first time i drove for 54KMs most of the time, i dun even drive more than a KM.. because what i usually do is onli drive out of the parking.. give it a few rountine check and reverse it back.. and if there's a case, i wont be driving because i dont have much experience and rushing to the accident venue, it takes more than skill... oh yeah did i mention that all the ambulance are manual? yes.. not the automatic transmittion like most of us drive.... (hmm... most of us ? ok.. at least for me...hahah)

so... wat's so special about today when i finally drive the ambulance for such a long journey? hahha... it's actually the Operasi Sikap XI 2006... so with the lauch of this operasi government agencies are to keep track of everyone's safety during this festives season.. so... we get to drive the ambulance to make some observation on major highway so if any accident happen, medical attention could be given to those who need it... but it's onli rescrited to highways only, at least for our ambulance service lah...

since it's juz some observation (permantauan, rondaan) so we are driving at fairly slow speed and so... i get to drive loh.. no rushing to anywhere also... so i went to make some observation on the federal highway (Shah Alam - Klang) and Kesas Highway (Subang, Kewajipan- Klang- Westport) and find that the roads are cleared and no accident (good...ppl are following the rulez and they are safe ! ) oh yeah... best part of driving an ambulance with "beacon light" (in case u donoe wat a beacon light is, is actually the shiny shiny thing on top of ambulance that usually accompany with siren "e-o e-o e-o"... without the siren, the light itself is called beacon light and with siren, we usaully call the combination as siren...) and also... PASSING TOLL WITHOUT PAYING... hahaha bestkan... i all did was juz... reach the toll plaza greet the person, and say "minta jalan" (yes broken malay.. but.. ) den they will life up the gate and let me pass.. If the person is an experience worker, they will juz lift up the barrier rite before u reach, inexperience worker can give u headache such as asking me "Boleh saya bagi tiket ar... ?"(can i provide u a ticket? ) hahaha and i passed 5 tolls yesterday where 5 diiferent kind of worker let me pass...

i drove for about an hour and half den when back to the centre (PULAPA-Pusat latihan Pertahanan AWam dearah Klang) after finishing up some report (yes.. ISO wanting angency will give u headahce when it come to filling forms.. .tons of it to be filled after an operation, case etc... ) and i went to sleep...

in conclusion the driving of ambulance is a great experience... !!! *pupil dilates* hahaha oppps... and i hope will have another try again soon...

that's all for now...

to everyone that will be leaving town... drive safely, follow all the advice given.. same goes to those coming home, so that the festive season could be filled with more fun and also to make sure that more raya/deepavali could be spend...

Why do we fear ? why are we fear of speaking something ? that's becoz we do not have enuff insight of wat we fear of... so to me ... dying is juz an end to a cycle ... so... i speak of DEATH liek my fren .. but often my fren cant accept it ... haha i know it;s hard to accept lah .. but for me .. im okey .. becoz i understand it ... so .. i dun fear it .. so i speak of it ...
