Proton vs Mercedes, How hard can it be ??

不久前，登嘉楼州政府斥资马币340万元添购14部马赛迪200型轿车，引起朝野两方的评论。国阵政府起初时暴跳如雷，应起了小风波。过后就指示登州政府只能用马赛迪接待外宾，不可当官车。雪州行动党和回教党则表明普腾将相(Perdana V6)问题多多，并赞成登州政府的决定。槟州首长林冠英谴责这是一个浪费公款的行为。


从我的角度看待这个问题，我觉得普腾，登州政府和国阵政府都有问题。我们先从普腾讲起。普腾的汽车，我相信大家心里有数。品质，表现和价钱，都不能与日产车或欧产车比较。由于普腾长期垄断着大马市场，加上政府实行的保护国产车政策，导致普腾失去了竞争能力。许多人宁愿买丰田，也不把普腾作为第一的选择。这些人不是不爱国，只是他们对普腾完全失望了。


国阵政府，一个滥权政府，讲一套，做一套。若国阵政府真的很爱国，那就把所有的非普腾汽车卖掉，从今以后只能用普腾的车。警察部队也一样，所有的卡车，巴士等交通工具，都用普腾这长不大的婴孩所制造的车。到时政府是否能存活，我相信99%是SK2 (Si Kiao Kiao)，因为普腾都没有能力，普腾太烂了。你以为这里是韩国吗？？去好过看看吧！！！


最后，登州政府没有公开投标，全部都给了朋党赚了。原本400令吉的维修费，可以涨到2000令吉，真是"Malaysia Boleh " !!普腾的指定维修处使用赝品，真是一群黑心商人。


我有一句话像对马拉西亚政府说∶国阵政府，你还有很大的"进步空间"，继续努力.我相信你是"能"的,Malaysia Boleh !!!

常年会员大会

从2007年的7月至2008年8月,我成为钟中无线电研究会的秘书已经一年了. 我相信不少部落客也是担任秘书或其他执行委员.


如今要卸任了,我想我难免有一些的遗憾及伤心.这一年内,我对秘书的岗位非常满意.我也想在此感谢07/08年的执委给我一个难得的机会,让我成为学会的掌门人之一.


我想,在我眼中,这四大天王,即主席,副主席,秘书和财政,我认为副主席和秘书这两个职位是最好的选择.秘书的权利相等于主席.若学会发生什么事,秘书被谴责的机会较低.所以,秘书这个职位是很不错的.


然而,若成为秘书,就必须要有责任感.所有的活动都必须做好准备,学会的档案必须好好的保管.秘书将时时刻刻为学会的事情而忙碌.这是难免不了的.


2/8/2008,我将会议秘书的身份召开2008年常年会员大会.至于谁是我的继承人,当天你们会晓得吧!无论是谁,我希望每一个委员都可以为学会出一份力,不管你是主席或是委员.只要做好各自的工作,你们都是天下第一等!!

安华鸡奸案

最近最红的新闻就是公正党实权领袖安华鸡奸的案件。我们仿佛回到了1998年的9月。首相阿都拉表示，国阵政府不会使用卑鄙的手段来阻止安华东方再起。我相信首相是不会那么卑鄙。只是他的政府，我就不肯定了。

安华谴责这是副首相纳吉所干的好事，把赛夫送入敌人的兵营先当间谍，后当炮灰。之后声称被安华鸡奸。一个大学生的前途，就如此完蛋。这起案件，有几个疑点。

1) 赛夫只是一个大学生。他连自己的学费都付不起了。为什么他有能力居住在一个月租RM10,000的豪华公寓？他又如何付得起那么昂贵的屋租?

2) 在鸡奸案前，安华与今日马来西亚主编拉惹柏特拉一直指责纳吉的所作所为，宣称副首相纳吉的妻子罗斯玛见证蒙古女子被杀经过。若把两件事情合起来，就显得安华鸡奸案是含有政治阴谋。

3) 民调显示，只有10%的的受访者相信安华确实犯下了鸡奸罪行。反之，另有60%的受访者则认为，由安华前私人助理赛夫巴哈里向警方报案，指安华鸡奸他的指责，背后含有政治动机。

4) 在发生这起事件前，纳吉和安华都在互相指责。我相信他们在互相毁灭彼此的政治前途。我想，阿都拉是最大的赢家，乃是渔翁得利。

这篇文章我共用了两个星期的时间来写。由于最近还有工作没完成，所以我只好一直延迟把文章上载到部落去.

何谓国阵精神 ？

在不久前，沙巴进步党杨德利因计划投首相阿都拉不信任票，被国阵多位领袖猛烈批评。杨德利也被指沙巴进步党违反了国阵精神。


何谓国阵精神 ？国阵精神就是不可发言任何反国阵政府的评论，凡事都要听巫统大哥的话，时时都要为国阵辩护无论是对是错。我相信这就是所谓的“国阵精神”。


进步党只是对首相的作风失望，失去了信心，而提议投首相不信任票。进步党振振有词的做法惹来了全身蚂蚁。可是，马哈迪幼子慕克里兹、巫统副主席慕尤丁也曾经呼吁阿都拉下台，转移权力给副首相纳吉，却没有遭受惩罚。这明显的显示出国阵的传统-即双重标准。


之前两位国阵国会议员的月漏论没有并没有被采取任何的纪律行动。副首相纳吉还表明这只是幽默，没什么大不了。月漏论是一个对全马女性的一个侮辱。纳吉还当成是玩笑。


让我们把视线转向民联。之前，槟城首长林冠英表达出行动党并不认同人民公正党实权领袖，安华夺权降低油价论。可是林冠英却没遭到任何的反驳。虽然民联有很多事情都没有达到共识，但还是以比较冷静与明智的方法来解决。这是国阵该学习的，而不是屡次发表极端的言论。

PC Assembly and Installation Course

During the school holiday that just passed, I attended a computer course organized by Compusonic Computer Centre (CCC). It is a 2-day course and 12 hours long. As I was quite free, so I think it was a quite good chance to learn how to assembly a computer.

Only 3 people including me joined the course. Quite pity as I can say. No matter how, we were all very exciting and curious about the course. It costed about RM300.

The first day, The tutor, Loh explains the theory and history about the computer. This part was quite similiar to the history lesson. It was just that you are learning the history of the silicon and binary number system, not the Malaysia history. Loh was very emphasis on the theory part as it is the basic. So to those who are planning to take similiar course, I hope that you won't ignore that part.

After lunch time, we were told to read manuals. 3 of us got shocked. Honestly it was very boring. You need to read through many manual books such as the motherboard, casing and etc. There is no shortcut when learning. Meanwhile, Loh brought us some used CPU and some tools.

Before disassembly the part, you need to ground yourself. You just need to insert a test pen into the ground connection of the socket. You just need to touch your finger to the test pen for about few seconds. Don't try this at home if you really understand what I am saying just now.

So, let the party begins. We were trying to taking out all the parts until the CPU was left with the casing and PSU. It was not a quite hard job. We were told to put back all the parts. The complicated part is not putting all the parts back. It was the wiring problem. The PSU has quite an ammount of wire. So this was quite tough. Unfortunately, all three of us can't finished in time. So we decided the next day to continue.

The second day and also the final lesson, again still quite confusing with the wiring. So the only way was to ask for Loh help. So with the generous help by Loh, we managed to settle the problem. Than it was the time to try out whether the system functional or not.

3 of us passed the challenge. Loh also taught us the BIOS settings and how to install the Windows XP. For the final challenges, we were asked to find the drivers. It was a piece of cake for me as I am quite often doing this job. My other 2 partners weren't in good condition. They can't find the drivers the needed. But eventually they found out with the aid by Loh.

From that course, I found out that only through practical you only can learn how to do assmbly the parts. You also need to update yourself. The course only provided some historical parts such as socket 478 or AGP graphuc card. So at least after attending the course which I know more or less how to assembly, I have the gut to assembly the parts.

So that's the end of the course. If anyone interested or wanted to join the course, please refer call 04-2827268 or log onto http://www.compusonic.com.my/.

RAE Exam 2007-2

Last year, 28/11/2007, I sat for the Radio Amateur Exam (RAE) at UiTM, Merbok, Kedah. It is an exam which held by Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commision (MCMC) for those who wants to become a radio amateur or hams. So I took the exam and paid for RM50.

Several months before the exam, I attended the preparation class. 8 lessons, 3 hours for each lesson and I am ready for the big time.

Usually in sort of exam, most of our parents will be taking us to there. However, I was not so lucky. Both my parents cant took me there as they need to work. So I have to car pool. A classmate offered us a ride for me and my friend, Jia Pheng. We eventually accepted.

So about 10a.m., I was ready and sat Rapid to the Gelugor bus stand. After a short period of half an hour, we were ready and blast-off Penang. Soon we were sitting in a Proton Wira, moving at 110km/h. You can feel the car is shattering. The parts seem going to break off.

Luckily, after a 50 minutes ride on the highway, we arrive the destination. But first, we have to take our lunch. I had a quite bad impression of Kedah. It was just like a cowboy town. Tonnes of dust was flying in the sky at anytime. Than another issue, fly. These bloody irritaing insects just annoying us. We can't really concentrate to have our lunch.

No matter how, we manage to finish the lunch. We head straight to UiTM. It is really a big campus. Luckily we didn't get lost and we found the exam hall. The hall can fit in about 100 people. As usual, no handphone and not a single conversation.

I am really nervous about the exam. This is the 1st time I sat for it. Honestly, in such a situation, you only can pray to God to reduce the tension. The examiner reads out loud what are the dos and don'ts. Each candidate was given a question booklet, a piece of blank A4 paper and answering sheet.

The exam starts. and we were given green light to answer the question. The paper consists of 100 objective question - 20 questions about rules and regulation, 30 questions about operating procedure and 50 question about technical stuff.

I was having a good time when answering the question. Sadly, I had forgotten some of the technical stuff. We were given 3 hours to finish the paper. The first hour you have to been in the hall. The following second and thrid hour was kind of like extra time. If you can't finish it in 1 hour, you still get plentyfull of 2 hours t go. I finish my paper in 1 hour and 20 minutes. For your information, you can't bring the exam paper out of the hall. It is just same as the Living Skills paper in the PMR exam. The question is almost identical every year as they were picked from a question pool.

The time was 4.00pm. Some people even bring radios, antenna, wires and etc. to be sold at there. Many people was attraced. We had a short rest at the cafeteria while waiting for the others to come out. Most of them was saying the exam is quite tough.

It is the time for us to back to Penang. This time, me and Jia Pheng were sitting in another car back to Penang. We sat in a Toyota Hilux pickup truck which had me, Jia Pheng and another 3 middle-age men.

The traffic was not so terrible afterall. We stuck at the Penang Bridge for 10 minutes and that is the traffic jam I had encounter all the day. I arrive home at 6.00pm. I had a bath and had my dinner with my family. All was going well.

After 2 months, I received a letter from MCMC. I passed the RAE. I am quite happy as I no need to sit for the exam again and pay another innocent RM50. I think that's quite a happy ending, is it ?

燃油价格的思考

在6月4日，政府突然宣布了汽油将会涨价，导致全民慌张，纷纷到油站田最后一桶RM1.92 的RON97汽油。因此，人民从中省了RM30至40的汽油。这显示了大马人民的生活多么的辛苦，为了省30至40令吉的黑金，宁愿排队1至2小时等待添油。


之后，政府又宣布每年将津贴RM625给予那些2000cc或以下汽车的车主。这项建议，有如脱裤放屁。老实说，政府要求人民到邮政局去领取津贴，不如直接津贴石油。这样更简单。


前副首相拿督斯里安华(也可能是未来的首相)表示，若民联成功执政，汽油的价钱将会降低。这得确实一个令人期待的消息。

然而，我却认为，降低油价是个短暂的措施。油价必定会涨到每桶200美元，到时民联政府是否还能继续津贴，还是个未知数。我前天在拿督斯里安华的friendster网站留言，向他表示我的立场。未知他是否用空去阅读每个支持者留言而回答。

我向拿督斯里安华建议，与其一直津贴石油，不如开发生物汽油。生物汽油是引用着植物的渣，提炼出来的燃料。我国是个热带国家，种植不少农作物，包括棕油，橡胶，稻米等。所以，我国非常适合大量发展生物汽油。

目前，我从一个同学知道，德国目前已经大量的使用一种生物汽油叫SunFuel. SunFuel是由Volkswagen AG所发展的。平常车的引擎只需更换Injection,便可使用这个绿色石油。SunFuel将节省高达40%的汽油费。这无比是个到好消息。

发展生物汽可发展我国的经济。若这个生物汽油大量生产，我国可卖给邻国如新加坡和泰国，赚取大量的外汇。许多就业机会将会从中产生，降低人民的失业率。国家也可以向Volkswagen合作. Volkswagen将帮助我国发展SunFuel, 大马帮助Volkswagen推销他高品质的汽车，岂不是一举两得？

再说，SunFuel是非常环保。我们可以不必担心它所造成的污染。以前，生物汽油得来源是来至食物。SunFuel的来源是植物的渣，树干，树叶等部分，所以这不会造成粮食危机。

我想，这是我们现在可以期望着实行的其中一个策划。也许我又漏掉一些重要的重点，然而SunFuel这个生物汽油确实前途无量。希望拿督斯里安华可以考虑我这位17岁的少年的建议，从中为国家出一份力，做出一些贡献。

What is Malaysian National Service (NS) For ??

The Malaysian National Service (NS) has been carried out for 5 years. Before going into the main discussion, let us understand the initial objective of NS.

NS was was first proposed in late 2001, brought to committee the following year, and finally brought to action in 2003. Initially it was thought that all youth of a certain age would be drafted but later the numbers were restricted due to lack of resources. The program was also initially planned as a 2-year program, which was later reduced to a year, and then six months, and to its present three-month length. The rationale for National Service was to bond the youth of Malaysia together and create a Malaysian nation, as the problem of racial polarisation was found to pervade educational institutions in Malaysia.

Objective of NS :

- Develop a young generation who are patriotic and with love for their country
- Enhance unity among the multi-racial communities in the country
- Instill a spirit of caring and volunteerism among society
- Produce an active, intelligent and confident generation
- Develop positive characteristics among the younger generation through good values
- Develop a generation that will always obey the current government

So has our youth become more patriotic after NS? No.

It is quite impossible to make or force them love their own motherland in just 3 months. It is totally mission impossible. I can say almost all the so called "conscript" are forced to join NS. Maybe 1 in 100 000 only enjoy NS.

Has the youth become intelligent after joining NS ? Again a sad answer. No.
How can a youth become intelligent by camping for 3 months time ? The young generation are smart and intelligent. They are capable to giving constructive opinion and ideas. They can know which is right and which is wrong. Just that they express their opinion and feelings on the Internet and blog. And this makes the govt unhappy. So the govt wants to teach the youth a lesson by sending the youth to NS. So that they will become a Singaporean -very obidient.

After NS has been launched in 2003, there are total 18 trainee fatalities cases. Why was that happen ? The govt should had the responsibility to take care of the trainee. Since the govt can't take the full responsibility, the govt. should stop the NS programme.

The security and cleanliness at most camps are very poor. In the more rural camps, communal bathing in murky ponds is practiced. The atrocious living conditions are speculated to be lower than announced cost of constructing the camp by the government. Sick trainees are NOT allowed to leave their camp even for treatment. This has been the cause of some trainees' death or illness.

Besides that, the cost of continuing NS is too costly. There are more than 70 NS training sites in Malaysia. Assuming that the cost of operating 1 training site is RM 10 million, 70 will cost about Rm700 million. The big amount of money can be used for education, development in rural area or improving the public transport system.

Too many trainee die in the service. Yet the youth didn't even learn how to protect the country if the country in danger or the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation in 1962 - 1966 happens again. A Colt M-16 training lesson will train more and more people which know how to friendly fire with M-16. Useless !!

Are we willing to see those incident happen and happen again ? It is a complete nightmare. So say no to NS as it is completely rubbish and hopeless.

Post your comment about NS. Your comment is one of the way where we can discuss more about the NS.



Thanks for reading !!
