What racial issues?
Posted: 8th October 2008 by Jacky Yong in Current AffairsTags: anwar, badawi, najib, racial
There has been talks that racial unity in Malaysia is deteriorating. The Malays are pitting against the Chinese and the Indians and the condition in Malaysia is on the verge of exploding sky-high from the racial tension here. But to be honest, I do not really feel the hear where I am standing. I’m in […]
What I’m thinking ……
Posted: 26th September 2008 by Jacky Yong in Current AffairsTags: decrease, oil, price
…… is that Malaysia’s fuel price is not dependant on the price of oil in the world, but rather, on how much the people hates the government! 😛 Of late, oil prices in the world has actually increased instead of decreasing as what Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Shahrir Samad has wanted […]
Anwar won, now what?
Posted: 27th August 2008 by Jacky Yong in Current AffairsTags: Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia politics
I follow gleefully the road to success for the once-down-but-not-out politician Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI). First the butt-fuck case during the Mahadthir era back in 1998. I remember vividly that it was only days after the 41st’s Merdeka celebration. He was charged and trialled, for what we all know now that is a slanderous […]
IPSERVERONE – Malaysia Web Hosting

For those who have not heard of web hosting, it is about having your own domain name and sharing your creation to the world, 24x7x365. By creation, I mean having either writing your own HTML or codes from scratch, or having ready-scripts deployed to your website. For a majority of bloggers, they fall into this […]
Citibank sucks big time!

This is another one of my post to denounce the claim by Citibank that they are the “Best Consumer Internet Bank 2007”. This is not the first time they piss me off. This time, they went just too damn far. Allow me to give you a chronology of what has transpired: ~ 25th June 2008 […]
I converted to NGV!

With the rising fuel prices and the never-ending commitments that I need to shoulder, it is only natural that I seek to increase my income and lower my expenditures. Having scrutinized my monthly budget, I have come to realize that the biggest money outflow goes to petrol. And between the two cars (Wira 1.5 GL […]
They did give me the RM625!
Posted: 1st August 2008 by Jacky Yong in Current Affairs, Silly meTags: fuel price, malaysia, road tax
Previously I had my doubts when I said that the government will honour their pledge of RM625 to peasants like us. Good news is, they do! Got my road tax renewed on 8th July while I was in Singapore last month. But the bad news is, baby milk powder is on the rise. Luckily the […]
Toyota Service Centre, Balakong
Posted: 21st June 2008 by Jacky Yong in Cars, Current Affairs, Silly meTags: Balakong, Service Centre, toyota
This is my first experience here as a Toyota owner, servicing my Altis. I was prepared for a huge bill. For one thing, I do not have a complete service record for this car, so all other details of the record remain vague. I have called 2 weeks earlier to book an appointment and the […]

That’s how I would describe Firefox 3, the latest incarnation of the highly successful browser these days. I have fulfilled my pledge to download Firefox 3 and be part of the Guinness World Record attempt for the highest number of downloads in 24 hours. I downloaded and installed it successfully at 3:25 am, +8 GMT. […]
