2008 General Election

Excerpt from Malaysiakini.com

“…

这一届大选，小弟对国阵各个成员党的相续落败，并不带有任何同情或不舍的看法，而事实上，执政党的腐败也确实已经到达了一个让人民很难再容忍下去的地步， 但是有一个人的败选，却让我感到震惊以及遗憾，他就是前槟城首长许子根博士，他是唯一个能让我产生好感的执政官员，我相信在很多人眼中，他也是一个谦和有 礼并且行政能力很强的一个好好长官，这一次，他成为了反风大吹下的牺牲品，从任何角度来看，他都是一个尽责的官员，错就错在他所身处于一个让人民不满的政 党，败选，确实错不在他，本来的大好仕途，却在一夜间变得前景难测，我想，他老人家现在也只能高呼”时不予我”了。小弟我倒是很希望许博士可以入阁当部 长，而受委上议员就是一个很好的办法，希望国阵能够珍惜他老人家，毕竟，能真正办事的部长也实在是太少了。

经过大选的激情后，人民的心里都存在着很多的问号……
国会两营对峙，会否为马来西亚带来安定的发展？？
巫统、马华、民政以及国大党今后将何去何从？？
没有任何执政经验的公正党以及行动党将如何掌理得来不易的州政权？？
反对党所掌控的五州子民，又到底能不能比以前过得更好？？
我们现在能做的，也就只有耐心等待及用心判断，如果自己的选择是错的，就在四年后用上手中的一票来纠正，这不正是健康民主制度的表现吗？？

总之，一切疑问，四年后必有定论。…”

HTC TyTN II

Just gotten a HTC TyTNII (Kaiser) test unit from my company. I am especially astonished by its stylish design when I first opened the box! Here are some Pros and Cons with regards to TyTNII after two weeks using it.

Comments:

- Superb fast browsing when using 3G connection

- TouchFlo experience is good but… too bad I have big thumb!

- Weather forecast is good but… where is Miri!

- Processing response is fast

- Charging is always a pain. If I leave my TyTNII charging overnight it will definitely kong

- Battery life is pathetic! It can hardly last up to a day. Drain out even faster than the time taken for me to finish my Tupperware 2L

- Screen is big, GUI is very easily accessible, experience with stylus is fantastic.

- I’ll give it 3/5 for now until I can find ways to tweak its registry.

VideoConferencing Service in Shell (Lutong and Singapore)

Shell EPA has just recently set up three VideoConferencing rooms in Lutong and Singapore. These rooms are equipped with:

-          Videoconferencing using Tandberg 6000

-          Audio conferencing using Clearone XAP

-          Tannoy speakers

-          Dual projectors with dual 84” motorized projector screens

-          Matrix Switcher, VGA input via Extron Cubby set

-          BayerDynamic table mic

-          Dimmer system (with four lighting preset – discussion, presentation, audio- and video-conferencing)

-          Motorized blinds

All of the above are controlled through Crestron remote control device with very nicely designed GUI. These three rooms are deemed as suitable for normal meetings, discussions, video- and audio-conferencing.

On top of these three rooms Shell EPA also has other two very advance conference rooms – RTOC Conference Rooms. These two rooms are located within Sarawak Shell Berhad and they play a major role in holding day-to-day morning meetings between Wells team in Lutong office and offshore rigs.
