Malaysian Law and Order: Shattered?

Maybe Nik Nazmi is with the opposition but it is not in any way discredited his opinion about the current condition of Malaysia.

In his article Breakdown of Law and Order, he said,

"...A little girl was sexually molested and murdered, and the police is planning to take action against the parents for negligence..."
obviously referring to the Nurin's case. It was true. I was shocked to read the article on the front page of Utusan a few days back. Come on. The parents have just lost their daughter to a murder and the Chief Police and the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development were talking about possibility of putting the unfortunate parents in jail.

Its just doesn't make sense at all.

The Hacker Diaries: Confessions of Teenage Hackers


After more than 2 months of waiting, I finally got my hands on the book a couple of days back.

This was the book that splurged my interest in hackers world that eventually inspired me to do a mini research on the topic during my matriculation days. Unfortunately, this particular interest was killed off after my draft has been rejected and I had to endure a painful start over.

You can read the excerpt at Google Book search here.
