Cool special effects.

Madey was right after all.

9/11 was staged! Just look at that awesome CGI!

First, we have a bunch of idiots lodging a police report against some one for insulting an egg.

The Penang government’s controversial plan to erect multi-lingual signboards in heritage zones to cater for the needs of foreign visitors will now turn into a courtroom battle.

A newly-formed NGO comprising Malay graduates today filed a suit seeking a High Court injunction against both the state government and the Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) from erecting the signboards.

The group calls itself Gabungan Graduan Melayu Muda (GGMM) or Young Malay Graduates Federation.

Malaysiakini

Now we have a bunch of not-so bright graduates (or ex graduates since most of them are in their 30s) wants to sue The Pearly Island for ‘undermining’ the national language. Please notice that they are a newly formed group. Newly formed already making stupid statements like that.

Brace yourself for more mind boggling statements to come. Follow like HINDRAF lah, at least they are demanding 1 Trillion from United Kingdom. How much do you think this NGO can sue Penang? Sorry lor, cannot sue them 1 trillion lor, since the current government inherited huge debt from the previous administration.

Maybe it is a good thing that opposition did not take over Melaka after all because the state is owing more than RM1 billion from the Federal Government. Going back to the undermining national language issue, I still do not understand how adding signage in different languages can undermine Bahasa Malaysia.

Not to say I am disrespecting the national language but I honestly feel Bahasa Indonesia is widely spoken than Bahasa Malaysia and I doubt suing Penang can do much in preserving its status. This suing fiasco is going to put our national language into bad light even further because it gets increasingly embarrasing enough to see such news are making headlines in Malaysiakini and mainstream papers.

I tell you what, why not just revert everything back to the colonial names? It is still in English, and I don’t think many Mainland Chinese are going to outnumbered the Mat salleh tourists. For fuck sake, GGMM, if you really care about the language, stop this suing drama already.

These days, politicians are taking a different approach in campaigning. In the past, all they do is move around houses to houses, shaking hands. Although they still practice it today, but at the same time they are also lauching their assault in the cyber world. One should never overlook the power of internet because that is where the young voters are. The scope of cyber citizens may be limited to urbanites for now, but in 10 years time, their population will be going upwards. Any smart politicians will capitalize on this. You imagine Tengku Razaleigh using his blackberry to do his campaigning work. Hmmmm maybe not.

I wonder if future warfare will take place in the form of cyber warfare? The upside is, not many people would die from such attacks, but the downside would be equally severe when it is intending to cripple our computerized routine as soon as you stepped out of your home. Just imagine when you are on the wheel, suddenly you get some one slamming on your car due to the traffic malfunction. These people will also target the stock exchange when they have to and the market is going to suffer huge losses from if the system is caught off guard. If they have no problem in infiltrating Dow Jones or whatever, what do you think they can do to KLSE?

Like what I have posted earlier, the printed media in Malaysia is currently losing out to the Internet media. You can see from the results from the recent by election in Permatang Pauh because the campaign battle was fiercely done from the Internet. People among my peers are not even bothered to read the newspapers anymore. It is made worst by fact Printed Media is heavily regulated by the Government. Most of them switched to the Internet media when they are seeking news coverage on the election. After the election result the ruling government finally acknowledged that they have lost the cyber war and ordered most Malaysian ISPs to block the controversial Malaysia-Today.net. However, Internet savvy people will always find a way to bypass the wall anyway. Whether they like it ornot, the internet has played a big role in creating political awareness among Malaysian.
