On route to IPv6

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is expected to fully migrate its computing systems by next year from IPv4 to the new IPv6 version of the Internet protocol.

It is on track with the migration that is being shepherded now by the National IPv6 Council, which comes under the purview of the Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture.
Another goal of the council is to provide the vision, mission and strategic plan for IPv6 implementation in the rest of the country.
To ensure a smooth transition, the public and private sectors must have adequate numbers of trained personnel, according to the Universiti Sains Malaysia's (USM) National Advanced IPv6 Centre (NAv6).
Prof Dr Sureswaran Ramadass, the director of NAv6, said some 3,000 engineers from around the world have been trained in Malaysia on IPv6. Of this number, 1,000 are Malaysians.
"Malaysia is a pioneer in the IPv6 movement, and the university through NAv6 is playing a key role in the training of IPv6 network engineers worldwide," he said.
The university was appointed by the Government in 2005 to spearhead R&D and human resource training for its IPv6 initiative.
USM's training module has been adopted by international bodies, including the IPv6 Global Forum.
Every piece of equipment connected to the Internet requires an IP address and the number of available addresses under IPv4 has run out, or is very close to running out. IPv6 will solve this problem.
June 8 is World IPv6 Day, and companies in various parts of the world will be test driving their systems and services on IPv6.
"In IPv4, there is a maximum of 4.2 billion IP addresses," Dr Sureswaran said. "With IPv6, there will easily be enough IP addresses for every man, woman and child in the world."
Gathering
Also, the IPv6 2011 regional conference will be held at the Berjaya Times Square Hotel here, from July 19 to July 21.
The conference, themed The Next Generation Internet, includes workshops and is geared towards driving businesses and government agencies to migrate to IPv6.
It will be attended by top-level management personnel and policy-makers.
There will be a keynote by Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
President of the IPv6 Forum, Latif Ladid, will also be there to speaking about the big shift from "Telecom Internet" to the two-way Internet based on IPv6.
Other highlights are NAv6 workshops on IPv6 transition and IPv6 security.

‘Make it total recall’

Consumer associations express worry over Taiwan food products

KUALA LUMPUR: The Taiwanese food scare has the public worrying about their safety. They want the government to order a recall of all Taiwanese food products in the wake of the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration’s advisory that more products were carcinogenic.

Consumer associations nationwide also want the government to publish the full list of products that have been tested and ordered off the shelves.

The New Straits Times was deluged with calls yesterday from readers who expressed their fears and worries, claiming that some of the products were still sold in some supermarkets and retail outlets.
They said more notices should be published in newspapers as many people were unaware of the tainted products and the fact they had been recalled.

Stressing that the public needed to know more about the matter, Malaysian Association of Standards Users chief executive officer Ratna Devi Nadarajan said the Health Ministry should do more to ensure the public’s safety.

“This is not the first food scare we’ve had involving imported food products that are tainted. This involves the people’s health.” Ratna, who is also Federation of Malaysian Consumers Association (Fomca) deputy secretary-general, said the ministry should devise a method to enable customers to identify food products that were safe for consumption.
“In China and Taiwan, food products are tagged ‘free from DEHP’.

This way, the people are aware that the food is safe to eat.

“How are we to identify the safe products if we don’t even know what the harmful ones are?” she said, adding that PVC (polyvinyl chloride) food packaging and containers from Taiwan should also be tested.
The New Sunday Times reported that the latest products ordered off the shelves were Black Tea by Good Young Co Ltd; Lemon Juice Power A by Kakawa Enterprise Co Ltd; and several products by Triko Foods Co — Fruit Jelly/Assorted (210g, 525g and 1,260g), Bear Fruit Jelly Brown (580g), Bear Fruity Jelly Pink (580g), Fruity Jelly N.C. (9.08kg) and Fruity Jelly Bear (9.08kg).

They have been found to contain di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). DEHP and diisononyl phthalate (DINP) are chemical agents used in plastic manufacturing to give it flexibility and it can be transferred to food during manufacturing, packaging and storage.

Consumers Association of Penang president S.M. Mohamed Idris has advised the public to stop buying Taiwanese food products for the time being.

“Until we are sure they (food products) are safe, it is better to stay away.” When contacted, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said there was no need to recall all Taiwanese food products as this would cause panic among consumers, especially those who had bought the products before the announcement was made.

He assured that the public had nothing to worry as the government was monitoring the situation.

“We should not overreact. The tainted products have been recalled from the market. We are targeting the problem specifically. Not all Taiwan food products are tainted, so to recall them would be unfair.” Liow, however, said the full list of tested and banned food products would be published soon. “We are updating the list that is on the ministry’s website.” Consumers can also call the ministry’s Safety and Food Quality Division at 03-88833652 or 03-88833653 or visit moh.gov.my or fsq.moh.gov.my for more information.
A check at major supermarkets and hypermarkets in the city found that the tainted food products have been removed.

Since Wednesday, 20 types of food products from Taiwan have been recalled.

MALACCA: Five areas covering a total of 338ha here were declared as smoke-free zones beginning June 15, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said.
He said the areas are the Malacca world heritage city, Melaka Raya, Melaka International Trade Centre and the Alor Gajah and Jasin town centres.

Anyone caught smoking in any of the zones could be fined the usual RM300 although the maximum compound was RM5,000, he told reporters after opening the World Without Tobacco Day in Bandar Hilir, here yesterday.

However, Liow said any premises or areas in the five zones that were owned by individuals would be exempted from the ban.
He said Malacca being the first state to gazette a large smoke-free area, showed that the state government and the ministry were serious to protect the public from the dangers of cigarette smoke, especially women and children.

Liow said the ministry had gazetted 21 non-smoking areas such as in hospitals, in public transportations, educational institutions, shopping malls and stadiums.

He added that the ministry was also embarking on a campaign against non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, heart attack and various types of cancer that were caused by smoking.

Liow hoped that the implementation of the smoke-free zone would attract more tourists to Malacca.

He also said almost RM1 million in compounds were issued from January to April for various offences under the Control of Tobacco Product Regulations 2004. A total of RM756,988 had been paid by the offenders

Masih masalah Facebook

SETIAP kali saya masuk ke akaun Facebook saya tiba-tiba keluar perkataan ini pada skrin komputer:

INTERNET EXPLORER CANNOT OPEN THE INTERNET SITEhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php
Operation aborted
Apabila saya pangkah atau tekan OK di kekotak tersebut saya terpaksa log in semula. Kadang-kadang hingga 2 atau 3 kali berturut-turut.
Apa masalahnya dan bagaimana untuk mengatasi supaya masalah tersebut tidak berulang ?
Sekian,terima kasih.
- Sabrie, KEDAH.

Bagi menjawab persoalan tersebut saya andaikan talian Internet anda baik, stabil dan tiada masalah. Ini berkemungkinan besar masalah tersebut berpunca daripada pelayar web Internet Explorer (IE) anda.
Langkah yang baik adalah kemas kini dan tingkatkan versi pelayar web Internet Explorer yang digunakan atau menggunakan pelayar web yang lain seperti Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera dan lain-lain.
Sekiranya tidak berupaya berbuat demikian atau masalah tersebut masih berlaku, terdapat beberapa cara yang boleh diikuti untuk penyelesaiannya.
1. Masukan alamat URL Facebook ke dalam ruangan web yang dipercayai yang terdapat pada pelayar web IE. Ia boleh dicapai dengan anda masuk ke IE dan pergi ke Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites. Nyah klik pada ruangan Require server verification sekiranya anda tidak menggunakan https pada laman Facebook.
2. Berkemungkinan terdapat beberapa perisian yang menyebabkan berlakunya penghalang ini terutama perisian anti virus atau sekuriti sama ada yang dipasang atau telah dinyahpasangkan. Jadi, untuk mengelakkan ia berlaku boleh lakukan beberapa perkara yang berikut.
* Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > IE with no Addons
* IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab > klik Restore then click Reset > Apply / OK
* IE > Tools > Internet Options > Security Tab > klik reset all zones to default - Apply / OK
* IE > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab. Nyah tanda bagi "Enable third-party browser extensions"
* IE > Tools > Manage Add-ons > Nyahkan SSV2 sekiranya ada kerana ia boleh menyebabkan masalah tersebut berlaku. Ia akan sentiasa dipasang kepada pelayar sekiranya kemas kini kepada Java dibuat.
* Tutup dan buka semula program IE
3. Lakukan penyelenggaraan pada Windows bagi membuang dan membaik pulih segala fail sistem yang hilang dan rosak. Dengan itu, boleh lakukan beberapa perkara penyelenggaraan pada Windows seperti langkah-langkah yang seterusnya.
* Larikan program DiskCleanup dengan klik Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.
* Klik Start > RUN. Kemudian taipkan perkataan
sfc /scannow. Klik butang OK.
* Larikan program checkdisk dan jadualkan program tersebut untuk beroperasi pada permulaan buka Windows seterusnya. Klik Apply > OK.
* Larikan perisian anti-virus yang dikemas kini. Boleh dapatkan ia secara percuma sekiranya tiada seperti Malwarebytes di URL, http://www.malwarebytes.org. Berkemungkinan juga ia disebabkan oleh virus seperti Trojan Vundo dan lain-lain.
* Sekiranya ada program Windows Defender, buka dan pergi ke Tools > Software Explorer. Lihat isu-isu berkaitan dengan perisian-perisian yang kelihatan bermasalah. Seterusnya, setkan ia kepada status, not permitted.
* Boleh dapatkan perisian BHOremover untuk membuang secara lebih baik perisian-perisian atau program komputer yang tidak diperlukan. Ia boleh diperolehi di URL,http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php.
4. Terdapat ralat untuk pelayar web IE versi 6 dan 7 untuk membaca laman web yang mengandungi skrip atau kod Site Meter. Ia akan memaparkan mesej ralat yang sama. Bagi mengatasi masalah ini, menaik taraf pelayar web IE ke versi yang terkini atau ikuti langkah yang diberikan seterusnya.

  • Buka pelayar web Internet Explorer.




  • Klik pada Tools > Internet Options.




  • Klik pada tab Security.




  • Klik pada ikon Restricted Sites.




  • Klik pada butang Sites.



    • Pada ruangan Add this website to the zone, taipkan perkataan '*.sitemeter.com '

  • Klik pada butang Add. Klik pada Close dan OK.



    • 5. Boleh nyah aktifkan fungsi mesej ralat pada HTTP ini pada pelayar IE. Mesej ralat tersebut akan masih dipaparkan pada pelayar tetapi ia tidak akan ke laman yang lain dalam pelayar tersebut. Ini boleh dilakukan dengan cara-cara yang berikut:-

  • Buka menu Tools dan klik pada Internet Options.




  • Pada tab Advanced, biarkan kosong kotak tanda sebelah pilihan Show friendly HTTP error messages. Ia berada di bawah tajuk Browsing.




  • Klik butang OK.



    • 6. Nyah aktifkan fungsi Active Scripting dalam pelayar web IE. Ia akan mengelakkan daripada mana-mana skrip berfungsi dalam pelayar IE. Ini boleh dilakukan dengan beberapa langkah seperti yang berikut.

  • Pada menu Tools, klik Internet Options.




  • Pada tab Security, pilih zon yang akan membaca laman web tersebut.




  • Cari bahagian Scripting, setkan Active Scripting kepada Disabled untuk halang mana-mana skrip atau kepada Prompt untuk maklumkan kepada kita terlebih dahulu sama ada untuk larikan atau tidak sesesuatu skrip yang dibaca oleh pelayar web IE.



    • l Klik OK.
    7. Ia juga boleh disebabkan masalah konfigurasi perisian paparan komputer DirectX. Sila benarkan fungsi DirectX Features beroperasi dalam program DirectX tersebut. Ini boleh dilakukan dengan pergi ke Start > Run > taip dalam kotak perkataan dxdiag > dan klik OK.. Seterusnya pada tab Display di ruangan Direct X Features, benarkan atau ENABLED fungsi untuk Direct Draw Acceleration dan Direct 3D Acceleration.
    Itulah di antara beberapa perkara yang berkemungkinan boleh menyelesaikan masalah tersebut.
    Ia juga boleh disebabkan oleh pelayar web tersebut dipenuhi dengan terlalu banyak programplug-ins dan add-ons atau program-program tersebut tidak sesuai dengan versi atau pelayar web yang digunakan. Boleh juga dilakukan dengan mengosongkan ruangan cache pada pelayar web anda.
    Bagaimanapun, cara yang terbaik adalah kemas kini pelayar web anda dan tingkatkan ia kepada versi yang paling terkini dan stabil.

    Tauge punca penularan E.coli: Jerman


    HAMBURG: Penularan  E. coli di Eropah disebabkan cambah yang dihasilkan sebuah ladang organik di Jerman, kata pegawai pertanian ketika angka korban meningkat kepada sekurang-kurangnya 22 orang manakala lebih 2,200 orang lagi jatuh sakit.

    Menteri Pertanian Lower Saxony, Gert Lindemann, berkata ujian awal menunjukkan tauge dan cambah jenis lain dari ladang di kawasan Uelzen, di antara bandaraya Hamburg and Hannover, mempunyai kaitan dengan jangkitan di lima negeri.
    "Terdapat lebih banyak petunjuk sejak beberapa jam lalu yang meletakkan tumpuan kepada ladang ini," katanya.Banyak restoran terbabit dalam penularan E. coli itu menerima bekalan cambah berkenaan yang selalunya digunakan dalam sajian salad
