request for comment : jaring wireless broadband

I am thinking of subscribing to Jaring Wireless Broadband. The area where I am renting is in the good service coverage section.
However, I do have a few questions, such as: how is the Jaring Internet backbone performing? How reliable is the wireless service (have heard a lot of complains from Alvin about webbit)? Is there [...]

hibernating… in KL

is New Economic Policy a myth?

What is the relation of petrol (and gas) price hike with the New Economic Policy (NEP)[1]?
As I have said earlier, the petrol/gas price increase by 30 cents per liter/kg over night, hit the lower income group the hardest [2]. If NEP is truly concern about helping the poor “bumiputeras”, isn’t the petrol/gas fuel jump undoing [...]

how can I help you?

Like it or not, we, Malaysians are materialistic consumerist. Each and everyone of US are affected by the high oil prices.
It doesn’t matter whether you drive a gas guzzling MPV, super-charged BMWs or ride Honda C70, it doesn’t matter whether you walk or ride bicycle to work. It doesn’t matter whether you have a roof [...]

more info to quench the fire, please

Barisan Nasional has caught fire from its latest pocket bursting, poor crunching, nation stealing exploit.

What spark this action? I had an email from long lost fellow Malaysian Linux user, Azmeen, who check with me the possibility of removing the said policy. After [...]

Dear friends and foes (if you are, please identify yourself, so I can label you as such) a like,
I am sorry for the silence from end of last year. There have been a lot of soul searching to find a new direction for my blogging. I can’t keep up with reactionary blogging (i.e. keeping up [...]
