2008 SPM candidates answer mostly in BM in some states

I heard news of some states, mostly all of the students answered Additional Mathematics and Mathematics in Malay language this year. Does this means the teachers were teaching from day 1 to SPM in Malay and not English languages while enjoying the benefit of BISP. To the weaker students were unavoidable to teach in Malay language for certain subjects and classes but not all students in a state, I perhaps.

CRIME RATES INCREASING IN MALAYSIA

Do you know why the crime rates in statistics are lower compare to other developing country? No one bother to report unless big $$ is involved. Malaysian's are tired to report due to inefficient in preventing crime in the future and reporting a crime can do no better. Waste of precious time and money. To the authority, do something to it, will ya?

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR CAR TIRE IS MISSING?

1. Report to the nearest Police Station.

-Pay RM 2.00 for the copy of it.

-Don't expect the police officer to say: We will beef up our 'Rondaan' because only a police car is provided for a big area in Aulong. (A police car is used up to catch Mat Rempits).

-You are the only one who will make a police report on this as others remain silence and just fork out pocket $$ to replace the tire.

-Police officer on duty will ask you any information about your parents, relatives, siblings and friends to investigate on this matter.

2. Put on your spare tire before going to a tire shop to replace the stolen tire.

-First you need to buy 4 nuts to replace the stolen nuts before replacing the spare tire.

3. Buy anti-theft prevention device such as locks on every tire.

Before any tire theft happens, just buy locks for every car tire(available in tire shop houses) to prevent any tire theft anytime and anywhere. Do you have any idea on how to prevent tire theft and what other alternative ways to report stolen tire?

IGP tells politicians not to interfere

GEORGE TOWN: Politicians should not interfere when police personnel are carrying out their duties, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.
“One politician recently sent 100 traffic summonses and told me to cancel them. He claimed the offenders were his constituents and did not have money to settle the summonses.
“There are also politicians who tell my OCPDs not to summon those riding their motorcycles in the kampung areas without helmets. How can we do that?” he asked.
Musa, who was speaking at a national forum on crime and policing, said the police would not be able to carry out their duties effectively if these politicians continued to interfere.
Earlier, he admitted that the country’s crime rate was on the rise but was not as bad as reported in the media and blogs.
“Last year’s crime rate per 100,000 population was only 772 cases compared to Hong Kong (1,166), Japan (1,569) and Australia (4,270). The rising crime rate is actually a global problem but it is still at a manageable level.
“I have already taken steps to counter the rise in crime rate like improving the response time to a crime scene, building police stations in new housing estates and installing CCTV cameras in crime-prone areas.”
On the small number of Chinese joining the police force, Musa said most wanted to be officers and not constables.
“There is still a shortage of policemen despite over 7,000 recruits a few months ago.
The force now has over 97,000 personnel and needs at least 40,000 more.
“I have asked for another 60,000 to be recruited over the next five years but this still will not be enough as there are hundreds of retirements annually,” he added.
Musa said he also wanted the national crime solving rate to be at least 40%.
“From today, the public can lodge reports at the various marine police bases nationwide. I have also directed the marine police personnel to be involved in crime prevention on land instead of just the high seas.
“The General Operations Force, whose duties used to be only in the jungles, now have a wider scope of work. They are responsible for the security in airports and certain islands in the country,” he said.
On the police force being biased against the participants of illegal gatherings in Kuala Lumpur, he said the police only acted because it was getting a bit out of hand.
“We are never biased. We are only following the law as the organisers did not apply for a permit. The permit will only be given if the gatherings do not cause public chaos.”
Also at the opening were Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation (Penang) chairman Datuk Seri Kamal Hashim and state police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS LOVELY VOICE!

The address: 220A, Lorong 6, Taman Kami A, 34000 Taiping, Perak.

This is real annoying neighbour. Why? Let me explain:
1. Early in the morning before 8 o'clock, I am awake by car beeping.
2. The shoulder of the road outside their house planted with trees to prevent my car from parking.
3. The voice like an evil singing the same song repeatedly through out the day. The volume was so loud till my ear almost becoming deaf and don’t expect to take an afternoon nap after an early morning disturbance.
What would you do with this kind of neighbour? Will you report to the authority?

To avoid being one of the victims, I will not surf the net on 24 November 2008 (Monday). What other precaution should I take to avoid my computer from being attack by viruses?

LONDON: Pengguna internet di seluruh dunia diingatkan berwaspada berikutan ancaman serangan ‘kemuncak’ virus secara besar-besaran pada Isnin depan yang turut disifatkan hari paling buruk bagi serangan virus seumpamanya.Akhbar The Guardian melaporkan semalam, amaran oleh pakar keselamatan komputer itu dibuat berdasarkan analisis maklumat mengenai virus dan cecacing internet merangkumi lebih 500,000 komputer di seluruh dunia.Selain amaran peningkatan ancaman dan serangan virus pada November dan Disember, pakar keselamatan komputer juga mengingatkan ancaman lain.Ini disebabkan pengiklan dan penyangak sudah cuba menggunakan populariti bakal Presiden Amerika, Barack Obama sebagai muslihat memperdaya pengguna memuat turun virus.Berikutan itu, pakar keselamatan daripada syarikat PC Tools menyifatkan tarikh 24 November sebagai berkemungkinan menjadi hari kemuncak serangan dan kemuncak kegiatan virus bagi 2008.Data 2007 menunjukkan kemuncak serangan virus, cecacing dan ancaman lain berlaku tiga hari sebelum cuti umum ‘Thanksgiving’ Amerika Syarikat, yang meramalkan keadaan sama mungkin berulang tahun ini.Syarikat itu mendakwa peningkatan kegiatan virus itu juga berkemungkinan disebabkan meledaknya kegiatan beli-belah menerusi internet menjelang Krismas. – Agensi

Computer virus attacks 'to peak next Monday'

Internet users are being warned to stay vigilant by researchers who believe that next Monday could be the worst day the year for computer attacks.
After analysing information on viruses and internet worms taken from more than 500,000 machines around the world, security experts at PC Tools have pinpointed November 24 as the potential peak of malicious software activity for 2008.
Data from 2007 showed that the high point of action from viruses, worms and other internet-based attacks came three days before America's Thanksgiving holiday, leading them to suggest that the same day could prove the bleakest 24 hours of this year.
The company says the increase in virus activity could be the result of internet shopping in the run-up to Christmas, as millions of users begin going online to purchase gifts for their friends and family.
With the chance for criminals to access financial details, online shoppers make an attractive target for the writers of malware.
The number of people shopping online this Christmas is expected to grow again this year, with internet sales in the UK alone predicted to hit £13.16bn – an increase of 15% over 2007.
More people are expected to use the web for their shopping as a way of finding lower prices to help them beat the credit crunch.
But while security experts are expecting the traditional increase of malware over November and December, they have also warned of another source of potential attacks. Spammers and criminals have attempted to use the popularity of American president-elect Barack Obama as a way to trick users into downloading malware.
A flood of emails purporting to link to a video of Obama's acceptance speech were actually connected to a trojan horse program which would compromise the target's PC. Meanwhile, a separate burst of spam messages contained a file called BarackObama.exe, which, when activated, places a rootkit on the victim's machine and opens it up to hackers around the world.

THE LIFE OF OLIVER TWIST IN MALAYSIA

Times are tough and difficult. Some will be stealing iron bars (including ladders) from house to house. So remember to lock your house gates all the time even for a while. The latest tactic will be begging from every house in a motorcycle. The same face will be seen more than once. To beg one must have a thick skin and 'Please spare me a few bucks' printed on their forehead (not shown) before they open their mouth. Excuses such as 'My dad just passed away and I need some bucks to place him in a coffin' and 'I don't have money to eat' will be heard. Well, find a job. You are in good condition physically and don't expect me to spare any $$ on you!
