Islamic Cars?

Now this is interesting. I wonder how the outcome would look like.

The idea was put forward from Tehran. It is said that the car would have all the essential Islamic features such as kiblat reading, compartment to put Quran, scarves et cetera.

This proposal of Islamic car will involve Iran, Turkey and Malaysia.

For me this is one great idea. Not so much of the features of the car but because of the idea that Islamic countries could join together economically generate something useful, and "refreshing".

The features are already existence in abundance. Kiblat reading? Sat-nav has been here long. Maybe they just have to tinker the software a bit to make it more "kiblat" friendly. Create a little more compartments here and there. Cut here paste there.

More importantly, this could be a great start for something of a great significance. Start with a car, then maybe develop our own engine, transmission that not many others have. Use resources from other Islamic countries. Who knows what might happen next.

I for once applauded this idea and hopefully the efforts that will follow. I will certainly wait for the outcome.

How Well Do We Know Our History?

This is a flip side of the history of Malaysia that we know.

I just thought that every "anak merdeka" should know the "real" history of our Independence. And by real I mean from a different point of view, from both sides of the story.

Not just the one we had learnt at school. Not just the story that the winners wanted us to know.

Do we really know what happened 10 years before Merdeka?

These are real stories from real people; who had gone through it all - sharing their experiences, for us the younger generation. The so called "anak merdeka"

Watch and ponder.

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.

20legend

I guess this has past its expiry date as a news but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is one true Man United legend and deserves a praise.

His retirement was a bit shocking but not entirely unexpected.

As been said, he surely has carved his name in the great history of football.

No doubting it.
