The Saturday of March 27th saw TEDxKL being held at the Petronas Twin Towers and inaugural PERKASA assembly held at PWTC.
Yoon Kit summed it up succintly:
TEDxKL: What Malaysia Needs;
PERKASA: What Malays Want.
“What Malaysia Needs” being of course the theme of TEDxKL 2010 (a local spinoff of TED) . Topics discussed ranged from broadband and [...]

Most of you will have heard about the rollout of TM’s High Speed Broadband (HSBB) branded as UniFi (“Fi” stands for fiber-optic by the way, and yes it sounds ridiculous if you pronounce it in bahasa baku).
UniFi Rates
TM still has not fixed its glitch on the main site that renders it unusable by all browsers [...]
Browsing through some issues of National Geographic recently, I came across a feature on tribespeople in Africa.
I was horrified to see that these tribespeople were inconsiderate enough to actually walk around mostly naked! How could they do this to us? Sure it might be the norm in their culture, but relativity is from the [...]

I finally watched it last week, probably just before the screenings ended. I think it’s so good that I’m not going to bother with spoiler warnings; if you haven’t already watched it you suck :P.
The really impressive thing that put Wall-E above and beyond the previous Pixar films is how it intertwines two different stories [...]
On March 1, 2008, then Cabinet Minister Rafidah Aziz said this about PAS’ calls for a debate with Abdullah Badawi on their election manifestos:
Rafidah also said that it was unnecessary to accede to a PAS suggestion for the party to have an open debate with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and [...]
I’d actually heard of gold dust and teeth making an appearance way way back but I didn’t know it was making a return to Charismatic circles until I heard a sermon about it on Sunday. A lady went up after and said gold dust had appeared on her during the sermon.
My first thought was “why [...]
Last week’s TIME had an article about the diary of Rutka Laskier, a Polish Jew whose diary had been found and kept by a friend for 60 years. It outlines four months in 1943, before Rutka and her family were sent to Auschwitz and killed.
If you’ve read the diary of Anne Frank, you’ll find haunting [...]
I think PKR’s call for a minimum wage of RM 1,500 is ridiculous and unrealistic. Yes, we need minimum wage and perhaps unions even, but considering that a typical worker at McDonald’s earns only RM4/hour right now, their target makes them look silly. I also think that their “promise” to reduce the price of petrol [...]
Recently I was participating in a discussion which touched on “Christians and the State”. I was disappointed at the direction it went because it ended up being the typical assertions of “God is in control” that has been regurgitated many times – we didn’t manage to discuss the practical issues that concern all of us [...]
Have been planning to blog for some time but things keep popping up. Been telling myself “I’ll go home on time from work today!” for the past 2 weeks but wind up going back late anyway.
I blame this on Edison Chen and his horniness – damn network traffic spikes. Pratically half of all keywords searches [...]
