Malaysian Twitter Users put Rais Yatim on Trending topics #yorais

Posted by IcedNyior on January 19, 2010  |  6 Comments

“Malaysians, especially Muslims, must avoid being totally immersed in the internet culture, especially Facebook and Twitter, said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

He added that facilities like internet could not be accepted wholly because it was a form of business introduced by the West and “Malaysians were just users.”

Yes, all this coming from the Info Comm minister of Malaysia in a local newspaper The Star. Read the full article here.

As can be expected, the Msian Twitter-ers are not happy and came up with a hashtag #yorais that talks about how old, ancient and backward thinking he is.

And the best part, it made it in the current top trending topics in Twitter. Here’s a screenshot for proof. LOL! Malaysia & Twitter boleh?

Some sample #yorais tweets :

• #yorais is so ancient, when asked about ‘good ol’ days’, he replies, “BC or AD?”.
• Rais is so ancient that the word “past”,”history” and “sejarah” hasn’t existed. #yorais
• #yorais Rais is so ancient, he anyams his own clothes
• first rice plant after him. #yorais
• In the afterlife, you’ll identify Rais right away. He’s so old, he has no navel. #yorais
• Rais is so ancient he once asked Socrates, “Kenapa you ni suka tanya banyak soalan?” #yorais

P1 W1max ‘Wiggy’ USB Modem Preview

Posted by IcedNyior on April 8, 2009  |  22 Comments

P1 has been the forefront of providing wireless internet access in Malaysia. They first came out with a wireless modem for the desktop – a (roughly) 5x5x2 inch black modem.

Noami from P1 (packet One) kindly invited a few bloggers for a preview of the new ‘Wiggy’ USB Modem – two days ahead of the official (invite only) media launch tomorrow (Thursday, 9 Apr) at Upstairs, The Loft.

It started around 8.10pm with firstly a short speech by the CEO of P1 W1Max, Mr Michael Lai, who said “if you have problems, don’t hesitate to whack us”. LOL! Then by the tech guy – sorry I forgot your name – who explained briefly about how they started and what they finally came up with.

So they showed us their USB Modem. Its a small (roughly) 2 inches by 4 inches modem with a “flip” USB that you can plug straight into your laptop. What I really like is no wires and the fact that the USB part is adjustable/moveable.

Photos & specs after the jump.

Maybank2u – Maybank’s online banking website – unveiled their new design recently. Its much nicer than the previous one. However, it seems to load a bit slower than the old one.

What’s your experience?

Internet = Life?

Why should i be involved in your petty squabbles and disputes? That’s what happens when you revolve your real life around your online life. You get too over emotional about something intangible, something you cannot see, something you cannot touch, something that you cannot guarantee that will be there forever.

For example, crazy bloggers who always cari gaduh and get super sensitive over their blog. When they get a malicious email they overreact and say they want to go to the police and all to report. Puh-leese, how most STUPID can those bloggers be?

okay, I understand you have put your blood and sweat in this. But have you thought what if suddenly it all disappears? Does it mean that your life is gone? Wana go commit suicide meh?

My blog has been around since 2004. Maybe not as long as your long 10 yrs devoted to your site. But I wrote my heart and soul in this and if one day it all disappears. Of course, I’ll be sad for a while, but then life goes on.

You put me in a bad situation today. Someone came to me in confidence and I was torn in between telling you, holding to my philosophy that everyone has the right to choose and keeping their confidence.

Well, you won. And he’s going to know that its me who told you. Happy?

I’m not.
