The sun provides all the energy and thus provides all the nutrients for all lives to survive on planet Earth. The only species on the planet that could convert the  energy from the sun is the plant.

So, dumped all the meats and lived a healthy life by just eating plants. Have  nice day  

My first car was a Fiat 600, nombor BS 9438. It cost RM4 thousands  (government loans). Bought it in KL on 26.9.1967. Left KL at 3.15pm and drove all the way to JB.

One must get 3 years consecutively good confidential report to get promoted. In all the years I never got a bad annual confidential report. The KSU (with the approval of the promotion committee)  at that time  knew who gave that bad report sympathise with me, decided to post me to Sarawak on an acting appointment there. So, I just took it easy and worked diligently as usual. After a year or so, when the bad report was cleared. I got a letter saying I was promoted and back dated.
