From Lim Kit Siang’s blog:

Sucks that our hard-earned tax money goes to helping this smug bastard pretend it’s his to dole out as he pleases.
I’m proud of all Sibu-ans for giving this idiot the middle finger. It’s your fucking job to fix floods, not use it as a bribe.

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:

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 [...]

TM has launched its new High Speed Broadband (HSBB), branded as UniFi recently. Press coverage can be found here.
The UniFi page was initially accessible on launch (albeit with the typical error found on all government sites, accessing it without the “www.” wouldn’t work.
But later the page was updated to be more “Flash”-y:

However it seems that [...]

The Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) recently launched an online poll to gauge public opinion about the controversy over the the caning of women for adultery. It’s an issue that has seen The Star, Malaysia’s largest English daily, having its license threatened because they dared print an article discussing it, and caused Marina Mahathir’s regular [...]

Read this recently in The Star and I was flabbergasted.

The biggest gainers will be new inspectors who will get a starting salary of RM2,060 compared to RM1,492 previously. Diploma and STPM holders will also be allowed to join the force directly as sergeants and they will start with a basic salary of [...]

I’m quite the seasoned bus-traveller. Spent four years in Malacca and let me tell you the eight-hour Malacca-Penang journey was no joke. Students usually had to settle for the cheapest buses and looking back it was quite hazardous – many companies have poor maintenance for their buses and do this irritating thing where they swap [...]

It’s now exactly a year after the historic 12th General Elections.
While I may shake my head at some of the political antics that have gone on since then, things have unmistakably changed. The MSM is forced to report the opposition’s POVs. Political awareness has never been higher. Every decision the government makes is placed under [...]

So I’ve been refreshing Malaysiakini nearly non-stop, as you have probably been too. Thoughts on the Perak crisis:
- Anwar has made the biggest mistake in this crisis so far. It’s not even that he was outsmarted by Najib, or that he has zero to show for all his grandstanding over overthrowing the current Government. It’s [...]
