Pada 2 April 2010 yang lalu, seperti yang telah kita sedia maklum, negara telah dikejutkan dengan berita kematian pelawak tanahair tekenal Din Beramboi (atau nama sebenarnya Mior Ahmad Fuad Mior Badri). Kematian beliau disahkan berpunca daripada demam denggi berdarah yang mengakibatkan hati dan buah pinggangnya gagal berfungsi. Sebelum itu beliau telah tiga hari terlantar di Hospital Selayang dalam keadaan koma yang mana pada mulanya disangkakan terkena jangkitan kuman kencing tikus atau leptospirosis.
Sungguhpun kematian arwah Din Beramboi tidak dikaitkan dengan leptospirosis, ini tidak bermakna kuman ini tidak berbahaya. Malah dikatakan kuman ini mampu membawa akibat yang sama dengan demam dengki berdarah dan sukar untuk dihapuskan. Read the rest of this entry »

Saya tertarik dengan emel yang saya terima baru-baru ini mengenai kronologi peningkatan harga minyak petrol di Malaysia semenjak tahun 1990 hingga 2008. Mungkin anda mempunyai pandangan tersendiri mengenai kronologi ini, namun bagi saya kenaikan harga petrol ini sesuatu yang lumrah cuma soalnya setinggi mana harga yang sanggup kita bayar tanpa menjejaskan kehidupan seharian.
Sebelum 90 – RM 0.89
Tahun 1990 – RM 1.10 (kenaikan RM 0.21)
01/10/2000 – RM 1.20 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
20/10/2001 – RM 1.30 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
01/05/2002 – RM 1.32 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
31/10/2002 – RM 1.33 (kenaikan RM 0.01)
01/03/2003 – RM 1.35 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
01/05/2004 – RM 1.37 (kenaikan RM 0.02)
01/10/2004 – RM 1.42 (kenaikan RM 0.05)
05/05/2005 – RM 1.52 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
31/07/2005 – RM 1.62 (kenaikan RM 0.10)
28/02/2006 – RM 1.92 (kenaikan RM 0.30)
05/06/2008 – RM 2.70 (kenaikan RM 0.78)

Microsoft Makes $42B Bid for Yahoo
By Michael Liedtke, AP Business Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Unable to topple Google Inc. on its own, Microsoft Corp. is trying to force crippled rival Yahoo Inc. into a shotgun marriage, with a wager worth nearly $42 billion that the two companies together will have a better chance of tackling the Internet search leader.
Microsoft’s audacious attempt to buy Yahoo, spelled out in an unsolicited offer announced Friday, shows just how much Google threatens the world’s largest software maker’s grip on how people interact with computers. Read the rest of this entry »

I would like to bring to the attention Malaysiakini readers that I feel there is no more honour left in this country’s Parliament. Due to the immunity against prosecution given under the law, the Parliament is being used as place to create lies, make irresponsible and sexist remarks. It is a place where our esteemed MPs show their childish behaviour
For example, during the recent 2008 budget speech in Parliament, the prime minister said and I quote, “Mr Speaker, the government has progressively increased the access as well as reduced the cost of education. Last year, the examination fees for PMR, SPM and STPM were abolished. The only remaining fees are the examination fee for Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia and the annual fee for primary and secondary schools. Effective 2008, all these fees will be abolished.”
