Merdeka and some more

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan Ke-49 Malaysia!!!

I wanted to celebrate Merdeka at IIUM since they hold the university level Merdeka countdown annually, but since I have a ton of work to shove by Monday, I decided to celebrate it at the office in front of the tele with a couple of Malaysian flags in my hands. NICE!

It almost felt like Hari Raya, celebrating all by yourself. Hmm…

Anyway, after watching the live telecast of the Merdeka Countdown at Kuching, I went back to my pc (which is by the way is a Dell… way cool Unca Dell Jr.!) Somehow or rather, my head is playing the Seven Signs’ Sembilu Kasih (yes I know, the whole damn story is infamously known for its drabby and longish that will leave you with a "please-hit-me-with-a-flag-pole-on-head-before-I-die-of-boredom-and-utterly-unrealistic-plot" kinda feeling.

By honest to Grundo (whatever that is), I kinda like the theme song (which include the first Sembilu series) Sembilu Kasih by Seven Signs. Definitely I agree with you all that umm the band DO need more than fine tuning in terms of umm vocals but I guess I am a dead sucker to music with the 80’s flavour or in other words ROCK KAPAK. You gotta love it.

A quick Google search left me with a link to a myspace.com site of the band with a nifty link to an online player of the song. Even super cooler is a link to download it. Here you go… http://music.myspace.com/music/popup.cfm?num=0&time=48.91&fid=81221742&uid=1

I did also made a search for its lyrics but nadda… so here’s what my recently cleaned ears heard… any corrections please leave a message… thanksh and enjoy (hehehe…)

Internet Freedom - Let’s Be Responsible!

Friday, August 4th, 2006

Dear Friends,

The uncensored internet access in Malaysia is virtually guaranteed by the MSC charter. We Malaysians have practically unlimited and free internet access as per content.
However, irresponsible users (mostly those with agendas of foreign origin and backing as well as capitalists) are abusing this by putting up lies, posting sensitive contents and unvarified claims and statements.

Can you imagine where our access to internet will be constantly regulated and monitored (just like in China and Singapore) where most web content are barred and free access are given only to certain sites? Or even merely forwarding dubious content can get you hauled into jailed for 10 years minimum?

Let’s protect our right to free and uncensored web access by being RESPONSIBLE. Dont post, forward, publish, print, dessimate etc dubious, sensitive and other types of contents that are illegal. I surely dont want my net access blocked from even Yahoo! So please, LET’S CARE, LET’S SHARE.

INTERNET FREEDOM - LET’S BE RESPONSIBLE!

KUALA TERENGGANU: The Prime Minister has issued a warning – those who spread untruths and slander on the Internet will face the law.

If information in blogs, websites and online portals were incorrect, bordered on slander, caused disturbance or compelled the public to lose faith in the nation’s economic policies, their authors would be detained for investigation, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

“We cannot allow such matters to flow through uncontrolled,” he told newsmen after attending a briefing on the proposed Islamic Civilisation Park in Pulau Wan Man here. 

“They say all kinds of things, make all kinds of dubious claims. We cannot allow them to abuse the freedom earned under the media. If left alone, they can say or pass on all kinds of things.” 

Abdullah also said that those who sent out such information via short message system (SMS) would also be held accountable.

“If they abuse the freedom – more than the present freedom given without any restriction – we cannot allow it,” he declared. 

“Where in the world is there such a freedom, where one can freely spread incorrect information and slander without having to own up to it?” 

Asked if he was calling for a control mechanism, Abdullah said he would leave it to the police to investigate first.

It was reported recently that the Internal Security Ministry was investigating several online sites following a string of misreporting that caused tension and confusion among Internet users.
