This one looks nice. Thinking of buying one! Everything is "open" including the software and the hardware.

OTK

He is so called the leader of a party which supposes to represent the Chinese community in Malaysia. But he is same as the previous leaders. I hate seeing his face on the TV. He knows how to speak but could not actually brave enough to reveal the truth. Who is he? Guess?

One Malaysia, But then?

PM announced "one Malaysia" but read here, an article that can be found at UM.

Di peringkat BN, kempen parti komponen seperti MCA dan Gerakan tidak agresif sebagaimana DAP. Misalnya, bilik gerakan ditutup pukul 11 malam sedangkan parti pesaing beroperasi sehingga awal pagi. Dengan prestasi hambar itu maka MCA, Gerakan dan MIC tidak berhak untuk membuat pelbagai tuntutan apatah lagi bagi jawatan Timbalan Perdana Menteri kedua.
- Blame each others in BN begins. It's true if MCA, Gerakan, or MIC leaders becomes 2nd PM and the whole BN governments are still corrupted. BN will still reject by the peoples.

Walaupun Umno berdepan dengan banyak tekanan dan kekangan, parti itu belum hilang kekuatan.
- Questionable!

Para pengundi bukan Melayu seperti biasa akan membuat banyak tuntutan pada musim kempen tetapi undi mereka tetap kepada pembangkang. Ini termasuk peti-peti undi yang paling banyak menerima peruntukan yang ditagih oleh pelbagai pihak mewakili pengundi antaranya RM1 juta untuk sekolah Cina, RM400,000 sekolah Tamil, tuntutan tanah rizab dan puluhan lagi.Apa makna ini semua? Bukankah ia menampakkan BN terus dipermainkan oleh pengundi bukan Melayu. Pada Awang, keputusan kedua-dua pilihan raya kecil itu dan beberapa yang lain sebelum ini adalah isyarat jelas kepada BN supaya jangan lagi terperangkap dengan muslihat sedemikian.
- Who ask for that? Who liar to the peoples? BN still don't understand and realize.

Usahlah mengharapkan sangat perubahan sokongan bukan Melayu.
- PM should teach them the concept of "One Malaysia".

Maybe, it's time!

Read what's our DPM say in the interview. It seems that he still don't understand the sentiment of the peoples. If you see how a former MP in Selangor wasting peoples money to Disneyland and etc., you will know why the peoples reject BN. With such a stupid DPM, I don't know how our PM going to improve our nation.

Chicken 65 in the Menu

I first saw the dish "Chicken 65" during my short stay in Chennai, India 5 years ago. Today having lunch at Hassan Cafe, I spotted the same dish in the menu. I am quite curious with the name Chicken 65. Why 65? My first thought was that the dish was invented in 1965. After google it, here the descriptions:

"Chicken 65 is that the recipe originated in an army mess hall where the number 65 referred to the recipe number on the cook's menu list." see here.

Anyway, don't forget to try out this dish whenever you in Chennai.

A Day to Remember, But For Wrong Reason

It's confirm! 30 minutes later, we will have our new PM. Good or Bad, who knows...

BBC News:

Mr Najib is expected to take over as prime minister on Friday. He has described allegations concerning the murder of a Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu, as "malicious baseless lies". Two policemen who used to be in his protection team are on trial for the killing of the 28-year-old, while one of Mr Najib's associates admitted having an affair with the woman.

Taipei Times:

Najib has repeatedly denied opposition allegations connecting him to the 2006 slaying of the mistress of a close aide whose body was blown up with explosives.

Telegraph:

It predicts that Mr Najib's main tactic for rebuilding the government's authority will be attacking or even persecuting the opposition. "I think the focal point is on limiting the opposition and their ability to organise," she said. "The other tactic is intimidation."

Daily Express:

But the carefully planned transition hit a snag when all 81 opposition politicians in parliament sent a joint petition to the king asking him to delay Deputy PM Najib Razak's swearing-in until he has been cleared of allegations of corruption and involvement in the murder of a young Mongolian woman.

CNN:

Najib also brings with him a whiff of controversy. Two former bodyguards are facing charges in connection the murder of a Mongolian model. He has denied all links to the killing.

Al Jazeera:

The opposition has repeatedly accused Najib of corruption in a deal to buy French submarines when he was defence minister. It has also alleged that he was linked to the killing of the Mongolian mistress of Najib's close former aide. Najib has labelled the allegations as "malicious lies".

StraitTimes:

He also faces a belligerent opposition, which accuses him of corruption in a deal to buy French submarines when he was defense minister. It has also alleged he was linked to the killing of a Mongolian woman, who was the estranged lover of a close friend.

Bangkok Post:

However, analysts say that before Najib can begin to tackle these issues, he must first clear the air over opposition allegations connecting him to the 2006 slaying of the mistress of his close aide -- a Mongolian woman whose body was blown up with military-grade explosives. He has also angrily rejected allegations of corruption, and that his administration will adopt hardline tactics including detention of its opponents under tough internal security laws.

The Washington Post:

Najib, the son of Malaysia's second prime minister, also faces a belligerent opposition, which accuses him of corruption in a deal to buy French submarines when he was defense minister. It has also alleged he was linked to the killing of a Mongolian woman, who was the estranged lover of a close friend. Najib has denied the allegations as "malicious lies."

Technical Visit using Your Pocket Money

Bringing along wife and children to technical visit (all paid by peoples' pocket money) is wrong! Wait and see if any actions will be taken by the respective parties against this corruption fellow.
