Blitz on bikers without helmets?

About time someone acted on this menace!

After experiencing the near-misses with some idiots on the road last week, I was wondering why Government have not acted on those riders. However, even that now Government has mentioned about it, I doubt that it will be successfully implemented especially in kampung and housing areas.… [Click to read the rest] “Blitz on bikers without helmets?”

I almost murdered someone last Sunday night!

It was about 9.45 pm and I was traveling along LDP towards my grandmaโ€™s house in Serdang. In the car were my wife and my son. As usual, we were jovial and chit-chatting whilst listening to cool music when I noticed in my side mirror: 2 motorcyclists on the fast lane, weaving in and out of the fast lane and the middle lane as if the highway belonged to them.… [Click to read the rest] “I almost murdered someone last Sunday night!”

The zoom powerโ€ฆ

.
My friend has just bought a new digital camera and was unsure about the zoom because there was 2 mentioned – digital zoom and optical zoom.
.
I checked my photo โ€œdatabaseโ€ to show him the difference between a digital zoom and an optical zoom. I did not realise how my digital camera optical zoom came in handy when I took this picture of my sibling way down at the beach in Port Dickson couple months ago.

Same source, same date but different impact

.

When I was in Taiping, I was watching the news and I could not believe what the Acting Menteri Besar Kedah, Datuk Mahdzir Khalid said about the worsening API reading in Kedah. He said something like this โ€œโ€ฆtangguhkan dulu pembakaran jerami sehingga masalah jerebu berkurangโ€.

Just to be sure of what I have heard, I picked this up from Bernama:-

โ€œDi ALOR STAR, Pemangku Menteri Besar Datuk Mahdzir Khalid meminta para petani supaya tidak melakukan pembakaran jerami padi buat sementara waktu ini memandangkan situasi jerebu di negeri ini semakin buruk dengan indeks pencemaran udara (API) semakin menghampiri 100, iaitu pada tahap tidak sihat.

โ€œPak Turutsโ€ reacts to Pak Lahโ€™s act

It is sad that it needed the Prime Minister to tell the Ministers what to do in the current haze problem. He was giving the hint when he said “they donโ€™t need to ask me. There should be a trigger mechanism so that once the index goes beyond 500; automatically they should declare an emergency for affected areas,”When the PM acts, I had expected the Ministers to be โ€œsuddenly activeโ€ in doing their job.

When Government think is the best time to reveal the daily API?

(Air Pollution Index – why is is being kept secret when it is crucial in informing the citizen on the actual condition of the air pollution in the country. Image source: http://pdsblogs.org)

There is a lot quarters crying out to the Government for the API reading and the DPM confidently inform that the Government has no plans to release the API reading.… [Click to read the rest] “When Government think is the best time to reveal the daily API?”

Haze – The โ€œRealโ€ cause of it

Everyone knows that the source of the haze – it is from opening burning and Indonesia is the biggest culprit of all. It is not a secret. Everyone knows. But do you want to know the real cause of haze? Poor farmer in Indonesia? Nah, you are wrong!

This is what I think is the real cause.… [Click to read the rest] “Haze – The โ€œRealโ€ cause of it”
