ETERNITY is what man desires, with or without knowing the purpose of having an eternal life. Albeit, achieving that eternal life remains either in a dream, fiction, or in divine pledge in the life hereafter. Then, a more realistic expectation (goal) for a man is to dream of a prolonged life in this world. According to the World Health Report 1998, the average life expectancy at birth in 2025 was expected to be 73 years, which was 48 years in 1955 and 65 years in 1995.

The new dictum is introduced in the book “Engage, Influence and Ensure Your Research Has Impact” by Inger Mewburn and Simon Clews in 2023. The survival of academics in their profession is largely dependent upon the number of papers they publish. An increasing number of papers in their bags adds credit to their reputation.

DIRECTLY or indirectly, any policy implemented by the government would impact the citizens. After all, policies are made for the rakyat. There are, however, certain policies that are far from being felt by the ordinary citizen. Meanwhile, some policies remain confidential to ensure the peace, harmony, safety, and security of the citizens.

IT is a common scenario during a mealtime at any local restaurant that one orders a teh tarik, kopi panas, or any other drinks to go, either ikat tepi or ikat mati. That drink is delivered in a plastic bag, which is convenient to deliver and convenient to carry to drink at a later time. Be it teh tarik or kopi, panas or with ice, the drink at a boiling temperature is poured into the plastic bag even before ice is added to the bag.
