Fed-Up or Truth

I myself believe that it's more important to have the truth to be prevailed rather than be fed-up with the latest development. I totally disagree with this paper putting this thing up. Are you helping the current government or top senior politician to cover up somethings? Last time, when the petrol hiked up, this paper covered up its front page with LRT proposed new line. Just to divert the attention of peoples.

WiFi Link - 304KM

Tx Antenna Gain = 35dBi
TX Power = 28 dBm XR5 Card Output Power
Tx Cable Loss = 6 dB
FSL = 92.45 + 20 log (304) + 20 log 5 = -156.09
Rx Cable Loss = 6 dB
Rx Antenna Gain = 35 dBi
Rx Sensitivity = -94 dBm @ 6Mbps
Link Budget = 28 -6 + 35 - 156.09 + 35 -6 + 94
= 23.91 dB (good enough for the link)






WiFi link can be reached until 304km, off course Line of Sight.



My own setup in Cyberja, only 239m! It's meter not kilometer, I'm making a false claim! Thanks for PK to point it out :)

TxxSxxx - Still a Government owned Newspaper

1. Barisan gets motion passed with big majority
2. The Prime Minister passed his first test of confidence in Parliament when a motion which the Government tabled was passed with a convincing majority.

Statement 1:
Does this mean that all peoples are expecting BN representatives to vote against the petrol hike? BN vote for this montion is called big majority?

Statement 2:
Convincing or not convincing is clear. 35% peoples against the motion or if including those who "miss up", 42% peoples against the motion. So this is so called convincing majority by our MCA newspaper.

129/140 = 92.14% [BN]
78/81 = 85.71% [Opposition]
1/1 = 100% [Independent]

Wait and See

"Tracking the system: Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad arriving at the Express Rail Link station in Putrajaya yesterday, the second day he was trying public transport from his home in Jalan Tunku in Kuala Lumpur to his office in Putrajaya. His verdict after two days? “It’s not so convenient since there is no bus connection from my house to KL Sentral to take the ERL to Putrajaya. My wife has to send me to KL Sentral and my driver picks me up in Putrajaya. He will be bringing the matter up in the Cabinet today. Shahrir is a frequent user of ERL to KLIA."
from TheStar

Only two days, our BN leader cannot tolerate anymore and want to bring the matter up in the Cabinet. You are lucky to have your driver picking you up in Putrajaya. You should walk all the way to your office or find a bus to get to your office. My office will move to Cyberjaya soon. I am wondering how I go there by public transportation. Last time, when I worked in TPM Bukit Jalil, I had to take KTM to KL sentral from my home, queuing up for Putra LRT, then Start LRT, then took a bus to my office or walked for 30 minutes. You all have your drivers picking you up. So, do you really feel that? Do you really care? What's your solution then? Just wait and see!

According to Malaysian leaders, "wait and see" means "wait forever and you will never see it"!

Cutting Allowance! Burden Sharing?



The slashing of allowances and limitation on paid holidays take effect on July 1. Even the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister will not be spared this new ruling.

For the paid holidays, Cabinet members will not be allowed to claim for more than a week’s holiday.

From TheStar

Crazy! I have no idea before that our Cabinet members can enjoy “unlimited paid” holiday. You can travel anywhere, anytime and all these will be paid by peoples’ money. I can’t imagine that after you all getting the salary from peoples and you still can enjoy this benefit. Crazy! Waste! Why should we all bear your cost! Now, the PM said that they are still allowed to travel to South East Asia. Bullshit! I cannot hide my anger anymore. A lot of peoples could not even have their changes to go oversea in their whole life. Our cabinet members could still enjoy this benefit. After all, our DPM still brave enough to say that the government shares the burden with the Rakyat. Again, bullshit! Cutting entertainment fees is called sharing the burden. What about giving up your salary? Useless MCA now asked for abolishing toll and road tax. I just wonder whether they are inside the government or not… but anyway, no hope for them, not even a single hope to them. Of course, don't expect too much from our current "wasteful" government...

Difficult Life

This was the first time for me to queue up at the Petrol station. No matter what the nonsense that our PM or government said. It is down to one and only factor. Waste..... Waste.... Waste..... Our government wastes too much peoples' money. Now, this is the consequence. The peoples are going to pay for keeping silence for too long. Difficult life in Malaysia.....

BMC

The barricade issue in Bandar Mahkota Cheras has generated newspapers’ headlines in last two days. Peoples were injured and some of them have to be sent to the hospital for treatment. It is really terrible that peoples has been neglected their rights for better living due to privatization I wonder why we need a highway if better access is not the main consideration. We pay because we want to get better access to certain place. This can be debatable, but at least this is the only valid reason for us to pay the toll. To the residents in BMC, I should salute their patients for more than 4 years. Their abilities to travel 6km and RM0.90 toll for every trip out from their homes. The developer who promises the resident to have a short-cut access has to come out to solve the problem as well. Now, the MB of Selangor was there to solve the problem. It will not happen if Khir is the current MB. Our work minister is yet to make a statement, but for sure, they will say that there has nothing to do with this.

The government should always put the peoples’ benefits ahead of them!

WiFi Hotspot

If you could not find a WiFi hotspot in your area, this web-suite may help.

Some of the interesting tables regarding WiFi hotspot in the world:

Hmm.... it seems that Hotspot is still not so popular in Malaysia. Here the number of registered WiFi hotspot in Malaysia:

Balkis Expenditure

Is this how a Charity Organization should spend its money?

RM158,000 - Sports Facility
RM128,000 - Batik Clothing
RM49,000 - Souvenir Books
RM100,000 - Sports Programme
RM200,000 - Deepavali and Hari Raya Celebrations
RM100,000 - Sports Uniforms
RM30,000 - Food for a Sports Event

How many poor peoples could we help with the above money? Former MB said that Balkis was a charity and the money raised was for "the benefit of orphans and underprivileged students" adopted by the charity. He should stop talking nonsense!

Nationalism, Football and Man United


Man United had just completed the double victories on domestic and Europe, a big achievement after the Treble on 1999. Dramatic ending in penalty in 2008 could be well compared with two goals in extra time against Bayern Munich in 1999. But many South Koreans feel sense of betrayal from Fergie who did not pick Park Ji-Sung for the starting eleven. To all of the surprise, he was not even in the substitute bench after playing well in quarter final and semi final. Fergie has said that he owes it to Paul Scholes so he would be the first to be named in the staring eleven. I have no surprise to see Park being disposed from the starting eleven against Chelsea. Tactically, it may be correct. But to overlook him from substitute bench is a major shock for me. At least, you should put him in the bench to recognize his contribution to the team. Yes, I was disappointed since I thought that he could be the first Asian to play in Champion League Final. I could remember that Fergie preferring Saha instead of Ruud in the FA Cup final and eventually lead to Ruud demanding to be transferred. Yes, of course, Park is not as important as Ruud and I have to agree that Park is not as good as some of the current Man United players. But his willingness to give all up is something Fergie should be appreciated to at least put him in the bench. Rooney was good but when he was substituted in the final, you can see his body language telling you that he was not happy. For me, not putting Park in the substitute bench is down to one factor: he can be easily replaced in the market. But after all, Man United won the game so I will still happy with that.

South Korean peoples do not think so. They were starting asking why? Is he injured? No. So why is he not even in the bench? Some of them start to believe that Fergie is bias and racist. Some of them even ask Park to leave otherwise he will continue to be discriminated by Fergie. Crazily, they want to know whether Park is well treated, whether he will get the medal. Some of them even said they will stop supporting Man United. Read some statements are funny from the Fanzone (maybe from Korean and maybe not, who knows?) in manutd.com:

"because he is an Asian? he is a Korean? he is not a Scotish?.......hahaha....." "We as korean are very fast and smart. we have learn things so quick even football sys in england." "Maybe, all of the Korean fans for MANUTD move to Chelsea ~~~" "Park wore the suit which is not a uniform and went into the stadium. It is that imagination was not completed, either. It was not much painful and disappointment." "I will never believe all of England guys in the future. Because they look down on all of Asian people." "but then why is nani on the bench instead of park? nani can't do anything *** idiot ferguson" "but, I heard that Park don't get Champions League medal."

But I think that this quote from a Chinese commentator well explaining the behavior of our Asian player:

"这是咱们东方的这种传统谦逊的表示,就是这种谦逊和这种努力,我觉得这种性格是能够在球场上体现出来的"

Last, don’t even mention ManU, call it Man United if you support Manchester United. This is coming from those fanatics who could easily label you as betraying the club, not me. There is a history about this, about the Busby Babes.

According to Procedures

As long as everything is according to procedures, then you can say it loudly and proudly, even you can dare to say “Nothing to hide”!

See how:

“He said all actions taken that led to the sacking of then Lord President Tun Salleh Abbas was done according to the law and constitution.”

“The purchase of Sukhoi jets and Scorpene submarines were made based on proper Government procurement procedures.

“I have done nothing wrong. All the work I have done is in accordance with procedures. I challenge the present government to try and find anything on me.”

We should do things not only according to procedures, but every penny should be well spent, every single decision should be carefully taken in the sake of peoples’ needs. Otherwise, we should review all these procedures!

Economy Class, Not a Big Deal!

Every leader should do this. If you are traveling such a short distance and ask for economy class, then it is not a big deal. If you are traveling from Penang to oversea for more than 6 or 7 hours flight and still ask for economy class, you will get my vote. Anyway, thumbs up!

Keep on your good works!

Free spectacles to Tamil pupils, why can’t? Don’t disturb the students during school hours. Ohh….that’s the way. Our Education Ministry doesn’t want our students or teachers to be disturbed. So, please don’t attend any activities instructed by Ministry if it is scheduled during school hours. They said so! Poor student, just ask the money from your parents to buy the spectacles or else don’t study too hard until you need spectacles. Dr. Ramasamy, don’t deploy the similar tactic used by the BN, be sincere, just give straight to the desired students or ask the school teachers to distribute these! I don’t see any problems….

Your Pocket Money or Peoples’ Money

When you have in power for so long, you forget how to differentiate whether it is your money or peoples’ money. You can suka-suka transfer the money to another account like your “Ah Kong” one. Then, you can suka-suka reroute the money to another body. Or you can suka-suka stop the event.

RM10m gone in 3 days
This one is ridiculous. This shows the efficiency of our politicians. It’s just the matter whether they want to do it or not. By the way, who owns the money?

Mara will handle money, not Pakatan governments
It looks like their Ah Kong’s money. We can do whatever we want.

More to come.......

Malaysia As You Know

If you ever know the history of Malaysia, you will be wonder why Malaysia suddenly reduces to merely 8 states. Sadly, this is so called "Malaysia Boleh".

Nonsense!

After all, Abdullah starts to move. It’s too late for us. Setting “Judicial Appointments Commission” to “make recommendation to PM” to help the PM to choose the judges. What’s the nonsense? So who has the final say? Again, our PM. Bullshit! Excuse me for being emotion. I just don’t understand. If you want to do reform, you should make it sincerely. Don’t simply give promise and “hangat-hangat tahi ayam”! Peoples may think that “it’s better than none”. But I am not!

WAN and Best RO

If a similar project can be kicked start here, then I will probably have free Internet access at my home.

Surprisingly on 29th March , I have been awarded the “Best Researcher 2007” from my company. But I had left early during the annual dinner and missed the presentation. Guess what I get from this award?

8-year-old whiz designs with FPGAs

Extend Your Network Coverage using WiFi

If you could not find a long cable for extending your network coverage, perhaps from building to building, you can simply use the wireless card to do so. Just ensure the necessary tools, such as Ethernet bridging and WDS features in the wireless card. Then, you can make a connection as shown in the diagram. All the clients will have the same subnet. It’s easy!

Missing Files

When you are going to leave your current job, you are normally required to hand over all the documents, files, or computerized materials to the new comer. If I were fired or I were asked to step down unwillingly, I will try to made the newcomer life difficult. How? Ask him or her to start from the scratch. Ask him or her to go around for the documents. Ask him or her to not forget to deliver although I myself should do this or that last time……
