If the perception I have on the police force isn’t bad enough, the latest report on Malaysiakini successfully pushed it over the edge for me. The Malaysian Bar Council greeted three (unprepared) police officers today. They were supposedly there to question council president Ambiga Sreenevasan, vice-president Ragunath Kesavan and secretary Lim Chee Wee regarding the “Walk for Justice” held a few weeks ago.
Instead of getting a statement from the trio, the police officers returned empty handed but not before being smacked in the face for not having enough information in their hands. They are up against Bar members for goodness sakes, not some teenage blogger or something. Shouldn’t they be more prepared? Maybe they are on their first day of duty?
One thing that I do not understand is why are the police investigating and interviewing the wrong people? All this mess is due to the Lingam tape that was widely spread and talked about not too long ago. I am still completely clueless as to what the 3 members “independent” panel’s actual duty is. How long does it take to verify the authentication of a video clip? In fact, I wonder if they have even started analyzing the video clip.
If anything, I have (almost) completely lost confidence in some things in the country. For one, I better not get myself in trouble with the wrong group of people. Or else, I might as well just “sit back and enjoy the ride”.
When I read Jys’ post that she heard stories that the Genting founder had died, I thought it was just some sick joke that people are passing around. However, when I saw the link provided to The Star at the end of her post, I realized that it could be real.
According to the news article, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong passed away today at 11.20am at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre. He migrated from China with only US$175 and has become the third richest man in the country. Without him, Malaysia might not have had a Genting to go to. We would not have had a place to have fun and to win/lose some money at.
I tried solving the Rubik’s Cube when I was in my early teens. I have to admit that I wasn’t very good at it. I did manage to solve it a couple of times although it took me all night to do it. How did I do it?
Well, there was a paper with the instructions in it that came together with cube. I positioned the Rubik’s Cube as it was in the diagram and followed the steps provided. That means I was looking at the piece of paper the whole time without actually looking at the cube. That is why I don’t even know how it was done.
I saw this YouTube video on how some people manage to solve the Rubik’s Cube in seconds! I am simply amazed. Just look at how fast they turn the damn thing. I could never turn it fast enough because if I don’t turn it precise enough, the next turn will be “stucked”.
Have you tried solving the Rubik’s Cube? Did you succeed? What is your average speed taken to solve it?
One of my friends knew that I was blogging and was making some money out of it. He contacted me the other day when he was in town and we met up to further discuss this.
Just to prevent any rumors that I am making a fortune from blogging, I am not. It is nice to be able to make some extra side income every month just by blogging. I am tracking my earnings since last month and currently, I have earned more than previously. Things could have been a lot easier for me if the Big G awarded me a ranking for this blog. I wonder when that day will come.
Anyway, I told him how much I am making and although it wasn’t much, he sound interested. After some discussion, he listened to my advice and registered two domains for himself.
Since he isn’t familiar setting up and handling the web hosting and blog, I helped him to setup everything. His blog is now good to go. He is currently busy so I don’t think that he will start blogging anytime soon. When he does, I may introduce him to you guys.
I have no idea what he will be blogging about though. I wonder if he does. Hehehe.
I am experiencing very slow connection for the past few hours when I am trying to access Google. GMail doesn’t seem like it wants to load. Google Adsense barely made it. Most importantly, my Google Reader is all choked up.
Browsing other websites seems to be okay, not super fast but at least they are loading. I am not sure if my Streamyx broadband is acting up again. I don’t believe Google is having server problems, are they?
Anyone else having the same problem the past few hours?
