Received another stupid email from greedy invidual. I think this guy is a pig. This is how the email goes:-

Malaysia’s website ‘a model of e-tourism’

KOTA KINABALU: Malaysia's tourism website has been described as a model of e-tourism by a United Nations body.

“One only needs to look at the Government of Malaysia tourist website to appreciate the value and relevance of e-tourism for a modern economy,” United Nations Conference Trade and Development (UNCTAD) secretary-general Dr Supachai Panitchpakdi said yesterday.

He said the superb display of marketing graphics and designs directing visitors immediately to separate portals for consumers and business travellers was excellent.

“Relevant information is available at one’s fingertips. This is the marvel of e-tourism, a dramatic demonstration of the burgeoning partnership between technology and the travel industry,” he said when opening the UNCTAD conference.

The Malaysian tourism website at www. tourism.gov.my gets an average of 12.3 million hits a month.

Above was reported by The Star. Well, that's not everything, you can have 666 million hits a day but if the tourism board fails to better its' role all effort will melt down to zero.

Here are the details, even the Tourism Minister isn't helping much of the situation.

The Price for Being Famous

Siti Nurhaliza is one of the most famous artist in Malaysia. I recently visited an open source site which specially highlighting her, strange enough that site turns ugly and horrible with lots of cursing and calling her by names.

I don't fancy Siti, I begin to dislike her after I heard she's raring to meet her fans somewhere in Kuala Lumpur on a horse carriage just like a Cindarella. I got annoyed with that - I don't kow why. It's definitely not jealousy, I'm a man and married, so if you judged I'm jealous ...then you're wrong!

I don't hate her, just dislike her, that's all. I wouldn't call her by names, coz that's way too much.

Being famous is not easy, one can be the target of hatred and you can kiss good bye to your privacy. Do you think it's worth it?

Everything Comes With A Price

Human know evil is their enemy. But no matter how careful they can be it's just nature that they will fall into evil's trap. Some even make deals with the devil, but I know ...at certain degree human just can't take it anymore that fate is not on their side ... disappointment, frustration, anger leads them to go against the rules.

At least I can accept all that excuses, but I can't take GREED as an excuse. Some rich dude has got almost everything which an average guy like me don't posses. They are willing to kill for lust, money and hell I don't know whatelse.

Then I realised, if I were to be in their position, I'll be just like them. So I thank God. I'm being myself.

Everything comes with a price you have to definitely pay.

Malaysia - Slave Labour

KUALA LUMPUR: Wednesday March 14, 2007. Police rescued 16 Malaysian youths who were forced to “beg” for donations after they responded to advertisements promising well-paying jobs.

The youths were kept under constant guard in two places – an apartment and a house – after they finished “work” and were not allowed to make telephone calls. They were given only instant noodles to eat almost daily by the syndicate holding them.

They were rescued after The Star informed Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Amer Awal that one of the youths had managed to send an SMS to his family for help. - The Star.

I'm so glad they were rescued. These syndicate should be punished in weight with their sins! Deceiving people who are willing to work clean is unacceptable.

Malaysia Bank Account, the Simple Way

Simple tips to open a bank account without supporting document in Malaysia.

It was frustating when I approached the receptionist, as a foreigner they won’t allow me to open any account without any supporting document.
I came home and go through their policies in the internet. I found something very interesting, actually I should have requested to make an appoinment with the manager if I didn’t have any supporting document.
The receptionist won’t tell you all these, maybe they are not trained, they are told to do so, or.....they just can’t be bothered.
After much homework. I called the manager, set an appointment, brought along my phone bill with my Malaysia address and bang! All done within 30 minutes.
So if any of you foreigner who are in need to open an account with the bank in Malaysia please do your homework. Don’t bush around with the receptionist or anyone else - call the manager and be nice. That’s it!

Another Mike Tyson

Yeo Lai Hing told the pressmen he would kick them if they continued snapping his pictures as he was being led into the court lock-up along with the accused in other cases.

Yeo, a Singaporean with permanent resident status here, claimed trial to voluntarily causing grievous hurt to Amil Hamzah, 36, by biting off half his right ear at a coffeeshop in Jalan Taman Free School here at 2.45pm on March 5 as reported.

We don't need another Mike Tyson. I hope this got nothing to do with Singapore vs Malaysia. Is it enough that both government always disagree with political matters ...may that virus stop - it should not spread to the people.

Good Brain - Good Food

A bakery near my home just opened. Looking very stylish, I thought it's own by Chinese who usually are entrepreneurs but in the end I found out that it's own by Malay and it's Halal.

So, what is the definition of Halal? Click here.

My family and I now have something for a change just in case we need to, instead of the usual mee goreng, nasi padang, etc....we now can have Halal pie and some good light stuff from the bakery.

No Brain - No Shame

Kuala Kangsar - Malaysia. Six passengers of a Taiping-bound express bus were killed when it plunged into a ravine outside the Menora Tunnel along the North-South Expressway yesterday. The bus driver lost control and the bus turned turtle down a five-metre deep slope near Kampung Rambai Tujuh.

If you ever experience driving in Malaysia, you won't be surprise how this could happened. Most bus driver in Malaysia are impatient, they can tail you few inches from your back even in the first lane which they shouldn't be in the first place.

No brain - no shame.

Plane Crash Again

I hate to see this but it keep on coming. So many had crashed and yet the government in silence - not effective. 100 people made a dramatic escape from an Indonesian jet 7.3.2007 after it crashed on landing and exploded in a ball of flame killing at least 21 passengers who were trapped inside.

Their transportation minister should have step down many years ago especially when a chaotic train accident happened in 2002. I was living in Padang, Sumatera Barat at that time.

Search Live in Johor Bahru

10hb march 2006, Search akan mengganaz di Stadium tertutup MPJB. Aku syak Search yg beberapa bulan lalu menarik diri last minit dari konsert tersebut ingin mengubati hati peminatnya di selatan ini yg kepingin nak tengok dorang pada bulan itu.

Sekarang peminat Search berpeluang lagi, aku yakin Search tak akan menghampakan peminatnya kali ini. Sebab gig kali ini bukan berbentuk business like, seperti yg mereka cancel dulu tu,...ini gig amal.

Niat nak pergi dan review gig untuk web site aku tu, tapi entah kenapa aku tak terpanggil untuk menyaksikannya. Mungkin selera dah berubah, kalau dulu Amy pakai seluar ketat aku pun ikut, rambut pun rock hantu ler.....kalau dulu Battle of The Bands perform kat Johor sanggup aku pergi semasa duduk di Sigapore, kini gig diadakan dekat dgn rumah pun aku tak terpanggil.

Dah lama tak pakai seluar ketat,...jadi stim pun dah hilang.

Singaporean Terrible Too

Spotted a car with Singapore registration number parked near a money changer near the immigration this afternoon in Johor Bahru. By right, they shouldn't parked there but selfishness leaded them to that. I gave them a few honk as I was stucked behind them, not only me there were few others stucked just because of them.

There were occassion where a Singapore car had caused obstruction that created many angry drivers. Singaporean too are traffic offenders, but I don't think they dare to do it at home,....maybe it is because they look lowly on the Malaysian Traffic Police?

Horrible Drivers in Malaysia

Road traffic accidents ranked among the top three in the world and easily qualifies as another form of violence which is neglected.

I saw three road accidents this morning which occured in different location on my way sending my kids to school. One, near Taman Universiti (Johor Bahru) involving 4 vehicles sandwiched to one another - horrible, the other two accidents occured near by was quite minor but still categorised horrible to me.

I observed, many Malaysian are terrible drivers regardless of race language or religion. If you happened to visit Singapore, drop by Johor Bahru which isn't that far. You don't have to go further in Johor Bahru, just a few metres from their immigration you can see lots of traffic rules destroyed.
