Over-glorified paper. That is exactly how I think most people today treat computers. The power of computing can be used for so much more. However, the masses tend to just see them as over-glorified paper. Personally, it frustrates me that even governments, universities and large organisations fall into this trap of treating computers as over-glorified [ READ MORE ]
I had recently been to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to settle some details due to my road accident last month. I had gone to the Federal Territories branch at Wangsa Maju. It was there that I saw the sale of numbers for car plates. There were screens that showed the numbers available for sale [ READ MORE ]

Gajah sama gajah berlawan, Pelanduk mati di tengah. At first, I had a lot of things to write about today. However, after seeing what has happened in Perak today, I’m quite sad that such a thing has happened. You see, while this picture does not tell the whole story, it certainly shows a lot. Personally, I would [ READ MORE ]
While I think that there are valid reasons for not liking what Wong Chin Huat did, I think that our police needs to learn some lessons in public relations. The police have been so heavy handed for so long that they don’t seem to know how to act with an even hand. I would think that [ READ MORE ]
