There are a few reason the notorious jam happens. One does not need to be a highway engineer to figure that out. The poor people in Serdang gets no fucking exit in the MEX, while Damansara / PJ gets 7 highways (Federal, LDP, Kesas, Sprint, NKVE, Penchala, NPE)! What, people in Serdang not worthy of […]

YUCK!! The mere mention of that name brings a bad taste to my mouth! That name has never sound good to me after she lost to Tony Pua in the last general election. It only means one thing; that she cannot be trusted to do things. And her latest remarks in the media sealed her […]

1. Automatic car are useful in city drivings because of the stop-and-go situations involved. But they are getting more and more useful in highways. 😉 2. Why do we use the highways? What is the basic thing that you expect in return of paying a hefty sum at the bloodsucking toll booths? The convenience, the […]

BWUUUAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! I can only afford an uncontrollable insane laugh! Come on Malaysia! Not another one of your tasteless jokes! Can this be one of your publicity stunt again? I mean, seriously, what do you expect to put in your machine? A 1.6 litre turbo CAMPRO engine? Well, here’s news for you! CAMPRO engines are lousy, […]

*Sigh* ….. the worst has happened. Against the will of Tun Dr Mahathir, and legions of parents around Malaysia, the stupid Muyiddin has announced that Science and Math be taught back in Malay. This is a 180 degree turn back towards the prehistoric era. The Malaysian education system is going the way of the dodo. […]

Just a case in point for how absurd a direct translation from a decent terms in English can go haywire in Malay: Hardware: barang keras Software: barang lembut Joystick: batang ria Plug and Play: cucuk dan main Port: […]

Lots has been said about the language and its uses in Malaysia. The latest development saw our former Prime Minister to urge the government not to forsake the future of our children by denouncing the importance of English. I am totally aghast at the action of some parties who chose to childishly ignore the use […]

4th June. Today, a very important piece of history happened in the world. But sadly the very people who was supposed to know this history, has been denied knowledge of it. I can’t read chinese, but I know one important year is missing. 1989 It’s a sad truth, the people do not know the truth, […]

My heart sank when I saw the picture in the news. A thin fragile looking puppy clinging helplessly on a mangroove root! How can the people of Pulau Ketam do that to such helpless creatures? I can understand their predicament, their logic that the island “ain’t big enough for the both of us”. Throwing them […]

There, I’ve done it again. I have reapplied for P1 W1MAX, and I’m planning to keep it for good. I’ve had an earlier concern about the disconnection issue. Therefore I came up with a backup plan. I went to TM Point in Cyberjaya yesterday to downgrade my existing Streamyx package. I am currently subscribed to […]
