The very poisonous cane toad is now one of Australia's most dangerous pests - so full of lethal chemicals it can kill a kangaroo.

Questions 16 – 25 Read the information given below and then answer the questions that follow. Batu Dam The Selangor Government turned the dam into a tourist spot by putting up rest stops and basic amenities. There are gazebos built for visitors to sit in and admire the view. The original purpose of the dam was for flood and water supply control. Built in 1987, the dam is now used for supplying water to certain residential and industrial areas in Kuala Lumpur.

Fraser’s Hill In the years of the British Empire, the British families retreated to the cool hill stations during the hot seasons. The cottages here resemble those found in their English villages, equipped with a cosy fireplace and meticulously cared for garden plots. An afternoon of croquet with friends was followed by afternoon tea.

Pulau Langkawi If you have lots of energy to burn, you can enjoy water sports like sailing, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving. For those who are looking for a relaxing holiday, the beautiful beaches with their awe-inspiring golden sunset/sunrise will leave them with many memories to cherish.

National Planetarium It contains a Space Theatre, Space Science Exhibit, Resource Centre, Viewing Gallery and Observatory Park. The observatory is equipped with a 35.5cm (14in) telescope. The Space Theatre screens a Space Science and Sky shows daily. It is opened from Monday to Friday and closed on weekends and public holidays.

Kuala Lumpur Tower There are lots of interesting things to do and see at the KL Tower. Aside from the intricate architecture, you can also take a ride in one of the four express elevators to the top and admire the view from the Observation Deck. One floor above the Observation Deck is the stylish Revolving Restaurant. Enjoy a meal there, then head for the souvenir shops.

Sam Poh Tong Temple Located in Gunung Rapat, just 5 km south of Ipoh, the temple is built into the cave system, so you will also get to see natural stalactite and stalagmite formations. You can choose to feed the tortoises with stalks of vegetables. The tortoise pond has now been reduced in size to accommodate a new temple and the courtyard beautification programme.

As Kelvin Ng waits to have his blood sugar checked at Singapore General Hospital’s Diabetes Centre on March 15 this year, the 25-year-old businessman explains how his battle began with the insidious disease. Almost a decade ago, his worried father brought him to a local health centre after noticing that he was constantly thirsty, tired and waking at night to urinate. “I was overweight from eating too much junk food and sitting around watching TV,” Ng says. “I was shocked to find out I was diabetic at sixteen.” Centre director Dr Peter Eng Hsi Ko says 20 years ago Ng would have been a medical oddity for having developed type-2 diabetes. “Not anymore,” he declares. The disease, he explains, typically simmers silently for five to seven years before health problems like Ng’s drive people to seek help. “When patients come to the clinic with symptoms, it is usually too late for them to avoid the disease. They’ve got it for life.” About ten percent of diabetics have type-1 diabetes, an inherited disorder affecting mostly children and young adults in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone regulating the body’s uptake of fuel in the form of blood glucose, or sugar, created from the food we eat. People with type-1 diabetes need daily injections of insulin. But as Asia’s urban waistlines expand from sedentary lifestyles and fat and sugar-laden meals and drinks, so does the incidence of type-2 diabetes, responsible for 90 per cent of all cases. And those failing victims are younger than ever. In a double body-blow, lack of exercise reduces the efficiency of insulin, while extra kilos mean the body needs more to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Stress of modern living also aggravates the problem. Eventually, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels that develop into chronic type-2 diabetes. If the disease goes untreated, blood vessels and tissues are damaged, unleashing a devastating cascade of complications from heart attack and stroke, blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage and limb amputation to impotence. Over 50 per cent of people with type-2 diabetes are overweight and the disease is striking the rich and poor alike. “The rapid increase we are seeking in type-2 diabetes is so closely linked to obesity you can almost call it ‘diabesity’,” says Dr Golden Galea, head of the World Health Organization’s Western Pacific Non-Communicable Diseases Division in Manila. With 177 million people already diabetic worldwide, the WHO predicts that if growth trends continue unchallenged, the disease will affect 366 million by 2030. Dr Galea warns that the Asia-Pacific region will be hardest hit with 191 million afflicted. Within just six years, Asia will be home to 61 per cent of the world’s diabetics. China and India alone, where three out of four diabetics already go undiagnosed, will have a staggering 100 million cases. In Thailand, Dr Sunthorn Tandanand, president of the Diabetes Association, sees the quickening pace of Asia’s diabetes epidemic daily. “Thirty years ago we had 20 people a week at our diabetes clinic in Bangkok. Now we have a hundred a day, and they are just the tip of the iceberg,” he says. “Thailand now has an estimated two million diabetics.”

In Singapore, diabetics are now the main victim of non-trauma limb amputation, with 700 a year losing legs. In 2002, almost half of Malaysia’s new kidney dialysis patients are diabetic, their kidney failure caused directly by 50 diabetes. In Hong Kong’s New Territories, soaring rates of diabetes are already having an impact on health care budgets, says Dr Eliza Sha of the Prince of Wales Hospital, pointing out that 80 per cent of deaths from diabetes are from heart attack and stroke. The story is no different in the Philippines. According to Dr Jane 55 Baltazar of the College of Public Health at the University of the Philippines, a 2002 study of 7000 Luzon residents revealed a 50 per cent increase in people with diabetes and a doubling of cases of impaired glucose tolerance, a prediabetic condition that puts people at high risk for developing diabetes, in the last decade.

I know it by the numb look Such houses have always. The neighbours rustle in and out, The doctor drives away. A window opens like a pod, Abrupt, mechanically; Somebody flings a mattress out, The children hurry by; They wonder if It died on that, I used to when a boy. The minister goes stiffly in As if the house were his, And he owned all the mourners now, And little boys besides; And then the milliner, and the man Of the appalling trade, To take the measure of the house. There’ll be that dark parade Of tassels and of coaches soon; It’s easy as a sign, The intuition of the news In just a country town. Emily Dickinson
