Over the past decades aging population has been escalating rapidly in Taiwan which follows a lot of diseases for the elderly including "Dementia"!
Alzheimer disease takes up more than half of the "Dementia" diagnosis in Taiwan.
Taiwan's own culture/civilization which differentiate from the western world, the approach taken is not the same to the outside world! For example, most of the family of the patient prefer to take care of him/her at home instead of allocating into relevant nursing home. It is a kind of ethical concept within Taiwanese society that kids should take up his/her obligation to take care of their parents!
In my opinion, carer at home even play a more important role than professionals working in nursing home. The reason is; he/she has to take ethicality into account whereby professionals didn't have to bother.
Prior fully discussed with a couple of home carers (kids of the patient), he/she agreed that patients stayed at home could impart better result on avoiding speedy deterioration of "Amnesia", in spite of using drugs; they devoted love, care and tolerance which harmonizing patient's emotion/spirit in a matter of weeks!
As aging population turn out to be a trend worldwide, Dementia will be escalating in the next decade, how to contain such disease become a big issue to all countries concerned and no exception to Taiwan.
As a matter of fact, Taiwanese government has been highly alarm on deamatic increase of dementia disease during the past years and injecting funding to addres the issue.
We have heapts of NGO croping up during the last few years trying to help our society confronting Dementia; besides more and more nursing homes run by hospitals also join the team tackle the problem. At the present moment, our NGO is recruiting professional carers as to assist patients with Dementia. From this year onward our government is conducting a series of survey throughout Taiwan (with the help from some specially appointed NGO) to find out latest data taking place over Taiwan with Dementia. Final result will be released withint the next couple of years!
In accordance with my observation on Dementia disease over Taiwan for the past years, I strongly believed that "psychosocial intervention" will be the most effective way to contain the disease.
Even though most of us realized that there is no remedy for Dementia up till now, nevertheless, we can still find ways and means to delay the period of deterioration. Carer (specially kids of the family) is playing an important role to bring patient's livelihood back to normal!
Ultimately, I have to sign off with my heartiest wishese and belssings to all patients with Dementia worldwide, hoping their desease could be completely wiped out one day!

Taiwan overshadowed with poisonous stuff
During the past few weeks, Taiwan has been hard hit by waves of poisonous stuff and devastating the brand name of "Made in Taiwan".
for decades, we sustained with excellent credibility on our products that serves as a symbol guaranteed best quality to overseas markets, nevertheless, our brand's name has suffered a big blow from what happened in the past months. from early April, our department of health has found out plasticizer chemicals been added into our health food products. Furthermore, lots of food such as fruit jam, sports drink, bread, cakes, even medicinal drugs revealed being containminated, most of our citizen are shocked and starting to panic, we even do not know how to avoid our health be affected?
From the latest findings, such scenario has taken place for 20 - 30 years which means all of us more or less been affected, in accordance to the latest test report, "ginger powder" imported from china carried more than 33,100 ppm on DIBP which is used for health food. As the snow ball rolls bigger, more people becoming panic on the impact to their daily life; as far as the government of Taiwan is concerned, I really cannot see any effective policy to contain those poisonous stuff from spreading all over the place.
Once again, it is quite clear for one to realize that china product cannot be trusted (no matter food or other sundries), as they have no idea on how to protect one's health, but only chase for profit, profit, profit).
In fact, conscience is playing an important roll in doing business, it is an ongoing sustainable career, we have to live with it in the long run but not just "hit and run"!
For example, "I-Mei" is one of the well known bakery/confectionery enterprises which established for 75 years in Taiwan, their principle is to do business with conscience and honesty, all their products sustained with high credibility on quality/quantity, they are one of the exceptional enterprise which jumps out of the storm this time.
My heartiest advice to those being hard hit is; do not buy anything that made in china and not to use their food additive irrespective of the low prices. Refuse to purchase anything that you do not know the sources, get what you ought to get, that is the best way to be survive.
God bless Taiwan

The aftermath of earthquake at Christchurch, New Zealand
I have been too lazy to write during the past few months partly because I am sort of fatigue and partly because I haven't found good topics to express my views! Here I am back to my blog and drop down what has happened to me during the earthquake taken place over New Zealand on 22nd February, 2011. During the 7.3 magnitude on the Richter scale earthquake happened over New Zealand at Christchurch (The Garden City), I was spending my holiday with my family at that point of time; would like to share with all pals on line about the devastation in the epicentre on that date~~ Me and my wife has been going out for lunch about 12 o'clock noon time on 22nd February, 2011. We left the hotel at Colombo Street (which is at the epicentre), wandering around the street and looking for something to eat, I have browsed around in a watch shop and fond of one of the watch desplayed on the shelf, so we approached the shop and wish to check the price, but the shop gave us his cold shoulder and keep on working in the shop, I was a bit disappointed on the way he expressed to clients so we left the shop in a couple of minutes. Then we stroll further on and found one chinese restaurant at the corner of the street which served "Dim Sum", both of us are so delighted and order our menu about 12:45 noon, few moments later (the time on the clock hanging against the wall showed 12:50), the whole building starts shaking back and forth, ups and downs, we are so terrified and hide ourselves under the table, the quake finished within about 30 seconds, then we grab our bags and rush out of the place. Opposite side of the restauarant there was a building which has been completely collapsed, with our camera on hand, I promptly take a couple of snapshots on our way back to the hotel. Along the street there were few coaches and buses smashed into a "tin", people has been dragged out of the wreck with bloodshed all over the body. Stepping over the rubble, we try to make our way back home but has been stopped by the policeman as we walked half way through, he guided us to the open place (park) near by. The whole CBD has been cordoned off and nobody is allowed to enter without permission. We wait for the shelter to be set up by Red Cross during the evening and registered our details as to try and leave the city, with nothing on hand except passports, cameras, mobile phone, wallets (all luggages has been left behind), we eventually found our way home after an agonizing journey that takes us four days to reach Taiwan. In the end, we found ourselves sound and safe (without hurting ourselves and survive), thanks to God that me and my family could survive from this catastrophe. As to summarize this diary, all I could say is, we are far too lucky/fortunate than those victims whom suffered from the terrible earthquake with tsunami over Japan. God bless Taiwan

Nothing has happened (my view after the Taiwan Mayor election)
Last Saturday (27/11/2010) was the Mayoral election in Taiwan which include 5 new cities namely Taipei; New Taipei; Taichung; Tainan & Kaohsiung. However before the polling date; i.e. on Friday (26/11/2010 night), gunshot has taken place in the KMT New Taipei campaign which they claimed that someone has shot down Lien S.W. (son of Lien Chan - the ex Vice President of Taiwan), as far as I am concerned, nothing has happened so far, the whole scenario were dominated by KMT which is "fake", in other words, nobody died and Lien S.W. did not hurt on the whole! We must reckoned that KMT is a group of gangs and rascals and they are not belonging to Taiwan whatsoever ever since they flee to Taiwan from China in 1949 after defeated by Communist. Those people cannot be categorized as civilized human beings but only uncivilized ethnic group. Chinese are the worst race in the world which no one can deny, they sustained with all disastrous behaviour; such as cunning, sneaky, arrogant, haughty, capricious, selfish, pride that no other ethnic group could beat them.
As far as I am concerned, KMT is using their power to cheat Taiwanese that such shooting has been politically motivated by the opposition party as to win the election and gain sympathy from the voters. Public media has been manipulated by KMT for many years and they are the ruling party in Taiwan at the moment which enable him to dominate the episode, KMT can use all the resources as taking advantages of the public media to fool Taiwanese as to reverse the result. I strongly condemned such behaviour as it is not a fair play between two parties. Four days has elapsed and nothing has been put on to the table; such as videos, photos etc. on what has really happened on that day? I am positive that nothing has happened on that night and KMT is trying to fool the voters and gain the election. Taiwanese people has been suppressed by KMT for many decades and still unable to get rid of KMT, the main reason is that most of them being educated (brain washed) by KMT and did not know the history of Taiwan. One must realized that if such circumstances still drag on, Taiwan will soon be annexed by China before the next Presidential election.
God bless Taiwan~~~

USElections 2010: America Votes (transcript from BBC, UK on 03/11/2010)
"US President Barack Obama's Democratic party has retained control of the Senate despite losing a number of seats to the Republican".
In accordance with latest report, Republican Party has won 218 setas in House of Representatives whereby short of 10 seats to control the Senate. They have taken 48 seats up to this moment. I woundn't be surprised on such outcome because USA has been fallen into economic recession due to their bad behaviour in spending for decades, with the uprising of "Globalization" that enhances the power of Multi-National enterprises to manipulate their market throughout the world, that cause traumatic blow to middle classes as well as small and medium enterprises inevitably. America has become the country which burden highest deficit worldwide; it is by no means that such scenario could be turn around shortly. For that matter, people of America has expressed their anger and rejected Government's wrong strategy prevailed on the result of this mid-term election. Another point worth us to carefully observed is; the rise of "Third Power", Tea Party emerged from "nowhere" and post great threat to the Democrats during this campaign, I assumed that due to the American wants dramatic change in their society and fed up with "2 party's politics"? As Tea Party's policy/strategy to the people is "reduce federal spending", "reduce high deficit", "reduce size of government", "reduce unemployment"; such slogan has win the heart of most voters and clear cut into the present situation. They worked in alliance with Republican and won 2 seats in the Senate which put enormous pressure onto Democrats.
If we look back to Taiwan in terms of their election results; we have something in common, i.e., KMT (Kuomingtang) has suffered hard blow in last years county mayoral election as well as "substitute" legislator election, KMT had created billions of debts and inclined rapidly towards China, high unemployment, high federal spending, high national deficit, heavily relied on the market of China etc. Taiwan has also fallen into economic recession & such nightmare still persisits. To summarize my essay, I sincerely prayed all people of Taiwan can deposed KMT by casting their ballot to the opposition party (DPP or Taiwan Solidarity) on 27th this month.
God bless Taiwan

Japan & China in maritime dispute agreement (transcript from BBC, UK on 12/10/2010)
"China & Japan have agreed to work together to prevent conflicts at sea, following a diplomatic row over the detention of a Chinese sea captain."
For long China treated Japan as their opponent when we review the past history, during Ching dynasty Chinese has been defeated by so called "8 nations alliance" which ultimately ceded Taiwan to Japan under Treaty of Makuang! Chinese had kept this in mind & seeking chance to retaliate, due to the fact that Chinese ethnic group has been aggressive, arrogant, preeminent races which induces their provocative characters. At the same token, they had been inherited the thought of "Confucianism" & "Imperialism", as a result, Chinese people turns out to be barbaric, vicious nature! In fact, the dispute of sovereignty on Spratly islands drags on for decades which other South Asian countries also claimed their rights on this island. The point is because of substantial natural resources within the seabed of Spratly island. Japanese is smart enough to avoid further aggravations on such issue whom has agreed to settle the deal at later point of time (during their meeting in Vietnam at the present moment). I cannot predict what strategy Japan is going to take next, but certainly they have their own justification to solve the problem. As China has become stronger and stronger in terms of economic power which enhances their ambition to dominate the world into 21st century, by the same token, USA is also fully alert on the attitude of China and further development around South East Asian region. We can keep an eye on the outcome in due time.

Climate shifts "not to blame" for African civil war" (transcript from BBC, UK on 08/09/2010)
'Climate change is not responsible for civil wars in Africa, a study suggests.'
It has been a while that I didn't post new articles on to my blog partly because of my laziness and partly because I did not find any good topices that stimulate my nerve to write! Prior reading above transcript from BBC, UK today; I cannot help myself to drop down my views without hesitation.
In accordance to the article, the senior researcher Halvard Buchang of the Peace Research Instute Oslo's Centre for the Study of civil War has challenged previous researcher's assumptions on climate changes and civil war in Africa.
In summary, I can agree with some of his points but also disagree with the others.
A:- It is quite clear that civil war in African such as Sudan has been dragging on for decades which poverty and ethnic tensions as well as sectarian conflicts which inflicted the consequences.
In the meantime, heaps of solid scientific evidence has to be taken into account to proof such assumptions.
D:- global climate change mitigation and adaptation really matters regardless of uncertainty about the links between climate changes & conflicts.
On the other hand, I am highly skeptical that there are close link between climate changes with civil war in Africa. Here is my views:
Per mentioned previously; civil war has various complications; poverty, starvations, economic disparity etc., what I queries most; if climate changes didn't take place, there will be much less draught and prolonged heat wave, environment turns out to be normal with abundant rainfall which enable/enhance people to grow their food avoiding from starvations. How come once could determine climate changes is not to blame for civil war in Africa???
As COP16 Summit will be held towards end of 2010 in Mexico, we may closely monitor future outcome of this conference.
A= Agree; D=Disagree
