Downloads: Combined Community Codec Pack or CCCP

CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is the best filter pack specifically built for playing anime that I have come across so far. Its primary design goals is to play as much as possible with as little as possible. It comes with zoom player and allows for almost all formats including mkv. If you need to play animes, I recommend this pack. Download

Joke of the day

My first try at this so be kind. The joke source in unknown so I am sorry to whom the joke might have originated from but here goes...

A friend of mine is a fast driver and proud of his skills in driving. He rigged his car on the passenger side with a sensor where a light would lit up when the passenger steps hard on the floor. He was proud for being able to make the light go off with every passenger that has taken a ride with him, frightening them into pressing the floor hard.

One day he had a passenger who he could not make the light lit up. He drove as fast as he could, even driving dangerously trying to make his passenger press the floor but he just couldn't. He thought to himself, "this is one cool dude".

The passenger was however white with fright even though he didn't pressed the floor. His legs actually simply couldn't reach the floor.

Note to Readers!

Sorry if my articles circulate around political issues but these days you just can't runaway from it. Is it the same for you?

Malaysia's Most Amazing Videos

There is a new phenomena in Malaysia's internet viewers, the Malaysian version of the World's Most Amazing Videos; the subject our Parliament.

2. Point of order or is it point of disorder. I wish our politicians would just get to work instead of discussing how things should work. When they didn't have the numbers to voice their concerns, they had to keep quite. Now they have the opportunity to actually make a different and they can't keep to the subject at hand.

3. Listen to the ministers plan, question it and debate on it. At the end influence the decision and try to come to a concession. The way things are now, what is being tabled isn't the issue but who gets the last word in. Both sides are at fault but the one who looses the most are people cause issues and concerns are not brought up and time is wasted.

4. It serves as entertaining viewing. If not because of lack of time, I’d have a blog dedicated to listing and documenting subject situations or even narrating on videos of our parliament at work. I would fare that it would certainly be a popular site.

Quotes

“On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.”- Will Rogers (1879-1935) a US humorist, political commentator.

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim said that he would have enough support to topple Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, that we don't need to keep this government and that he can form a new government. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi would now have a tough time doing things as "no matter what it does" now have shallow meaning as the balance of power is easily tipped either way. Walking on egg shells is not a great way to manage a country.

Quotes

“The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid.”-Art Spander.

Were the people wrong in 2008 or were they wrong earlier on in 2004? If you look at it logically, the mistake were most likely made in 2004 because the events that occurred thereafter resulted in the drastic drop in confidence reflected in the 2008 result.

2. In 2004 Malaysia's 11th general elections BN were the most popular government in the history of the country with a 90.41% majority but by 2008 just within four years that majority dropped to 62.61% or the lowest in the history of the nation, second lowest being 65.97% in 1969.

3. Prior to 2004 I would say that the people’s confidence in the BN government were at their most optimistic therefore in order to build back this optimism we must look back to what transpired prior to 2004 and compare it to the following four years.

ADUHAI... kezutan demi KEZUTAN..

salam untuk semua..

berada dalam tanah air sendiri umpama berada dalam program realiti TV la pulak.. terlalu kerap kejutan demi kejutan yang diwar-warkan dalam media massa dan media cetak.

apa yang sering disarankan oleh pentadbir negeri, kita harus menjadi pengguna yang bijak. tapi baru saja mencongak untuk belajar mengadaptasi kenaikan harga minyak, dapat pula berita penjawat kerajaan akan menerima gaji 2 kali sebulan.

sebagai penjawat yang pernah bertugas di sektor swasta dan pernah melalui program gaji yang sama, saya tidak merasakan tindakan ini wajar malah lebih membebankan.

mungkin ramai yang tak perasan, sebenarnya gaji yang akan dibayar 2 kali sebulan itu bukanlah separuh daripada gaji bersih, tapi ianya adalah separuh dari gaji kasar.

sebagai penjawat kerajaan, setiap penjawat dibenarkan untuk membuat pinjaman kerajaan sehingga 60% dari gaji yang diterima. dan dalam penyata gaji, bukan sekadar pinjaman saja yang perlu dibayar, tapi ada lagi bayaran lain seperti takaful, yuran kelab, dan lain-lain potongan dalam jumlah yang kecil, tapi senarainya 3 kali ganda daripada senarai pendapatan yang diterima.

kepada yang berpendidikan, mungkin mampu untuk mencongak secara kasar, tapi bayangkan penjawat kerajaan bukan semuanya gaji 4 angka. kepada yang berpendapatan rendah macam mana. anak berderet kat rumah masih juga perlu disuap makananan.

apa yang akan berlaku seterusnya..?

mak bapak terpaksa bekerja lebih dan anak-anak dibiarkan di rumah. tanpa pengawasan yang wajar, apakah ada jaminan anak-anak tidak terjebak ke dalam gejala yang tidak sihat.

kronologi ini cukup jelas.

dan apa pula tindakan penjawat kerajaan selepas ini?

jadilah PENGGUNA BIJAK..

ramai bebenor cakap jadi pengguna bijak, tapi tak de sorang pun nak bagitaw macam mana. ader ke yang berani nak tampil dan bagitau.. ader ke.. ader ke..

~ nasib le mak cik dok kat negeri sejahtera.. harapnya sejahtera selalu le negeri ni.. AMIN

It's fun, informative reading but the comments are not focused on the article. I wish commenter's would refrain on just posting empty comment. Else you would not get to read response to queries. Otherwise its a much needed insight into one of Malaysia's most prominent figure, be you agree or not with his views.

Let have Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi blog, straight from the horses mouth.

Goodbye to Highly Subsides Fuel

Currently fuel price is in everybody's minds. Fuel for your car nowadays takes more out of your pay then the cars monthly installments but we knew sooner or later we would have to say goodbye to fuel subsidies. The indicators were there.

2. The price is now has raised some 400% the past 3 years and there no indication the price will ever come down. Currently at RM2.70, up 0.78 from previous with a monthly revision in the cards, the outlook does not look like is going to get better.

3. On the light side I read that workshops selling environmentally friendly liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) car kits sold more in a day after price increase then in a month, more orders are in the books. If only more areas could have LPG stations to service such cars.

4. Alternative might be hybrid cars like the Toyota Prius but the lack of tax incentives keeps such cars away from drivers who dearly need the savings these cars provide. Currently they are more for the Eco-conscious groups who can afford to bring such cars in and pay the hefty import duty.

5. We have seen such technology adopted in western countries promoted by government agencies and supported by environmental or green polices. Now these technologies that used to be subscribed by Eco geeks and environmentalists are being embraced for simply financial senses; less fuel consumption or cheaper alternatives equals to saving.

6. Alternative fuel like LPG has been in use in Malaysia for years yet it was not promote for wider use. If had we did, it would have lessen the impact of rising oil prices by providing an alternative.

7. Malaysian are now finally forced to cope with the realities of a subsidy free fuel (or at least almost). Alternative fuel like LPG can finally gain recognition and prove itself viable in the Malaysian context. Being available some 15 years longer (30 years) compared to its counterpart oil (12-15 year) is also an added advantage.

8. The effects of the rise in price of fuel would be far and wide and it’s not difficult to imagine the impact on our daily lives. However previous crisis such as the shortage of sugar, flour and currently world rice shortage has serviced to dull our Malaysian perception of impending doom. It has become expected for the price of teh tarik and roti canai to go up it such situation yet we still frequent such establishments. The resilience of Malaysian is shown in just what they can tolerate.

9. However as the last election has shown, the government must be mindful what Malaysians might or might no longer tolerate. The Mahkota Cheras fiasco has shown that Malaysian are now less tolerant toward government and are not afraid to show their rage. Such outburst tempered with harping sentiments by third parties could become common occurrences.
