What Have We Learnt In Year 2010?

As usually, people revise what have they done in the whole year at the end of the year. So bear with me, this post is dedicated to the future me to see whether 2011 would be a more fruitful year.

I wanted to write this few days ago, I went through my archive and revised all 2010's events. The most noticeable thing was the change of my blog's theme from personal to more political and I allowed my sarcastic and facetious sides to blossom LOL 

Surprisingly, many people actually bought it and started to follow this blog (of cos some lack-sense-of-humor cannot get my wit). Nevertheless, thanks for reading my blog and please forgive my poor grammar and limited vocabulary (I'm working to brush up my language, this is one of the reason I started to blog).  

Anyway, below are my lessons learned in year 2010. 
1. Many professionals are not professional
2. Opportunists make fool of less sophisticated kampung people
3. GLCs are inefficient and ignorance, privatization would benefit us
4. Money can settle anything, even cover up crime
5. Malaysians have volatile memories, forget things very fast
6. Malaysians behave hangat-hangat tahi ayam
7. Peer pressure makes nerds and girls watch World Cup
8. Racism is a vicious cycle
9. Internet facilitates democracy in good hands
10. Internet cultivates stupidity in idiots' hands
11. Education system in this country is handicapped
12. Education system in this country produces highly-educated retards
13. Reckless driving and ignorance kill, not bus
14. People are lacking of proper moral values nowadays
15. Greedy people are easy to cheat
16. Politicians think people are retarded
17. Politicians got big mouths
18. Facebook breeds creativities 
19. Malaysians love Facebook


I wish you Happy New Year and a fruitful year ahead. 

The Season of the Witch is Here

What scares me the most about witches? Not their flying bloom, not their dark magics that can turn man into frog, and definitely not the mirror on the wall and the poisoned apple. I actually find it kinna cool to fly in the sky with a bloom, I mean how environmental friendly is that? Turn man into a frog is not scary at all ok? Turn man into toilet bowl inside male rest room is scary. Mirror on the wall? I find it works better than Google, you get the most accurate result for question you ask. Apple? Just don't eat the apple, eat orange instead (I've never heard of poisoned orange before).

What really terrifying is their mastery of disguise. Look at the hot and attractive women below, I suspect that they're all witches in disguise. How can a woman acquired with angel's face and devil's body at the same time? It's impossible.... unless they're witches. They are completely capable to do this if they can turn man into frog.



Just imagine, if you happen to date one of the ladies above. You take her out for dinner at a perfect Saturday night, and you don't feel like letting her goes so after dinner you take her to your favorite bar and then you start flirting with her, then you hold her hand and the little pervert in you ask you to sniff her hair. Things are going so perfectly well and suddenly it's 12am already! Suddenly her magical effects are expired and the perfect date just *poooof*, gone! The hot girl turns out to be a witch with ultra-long hook nose and jaw with serious acne problem, not to mention the bad hair and ugly teeth.


And you remember you just kissed her...................... French style.






Season of the witch

By the way, this is a post I do for a contest. Hopefully you're entertained.

Malaysia is not going to ban Facebook

There is a rumor spreading on internet saying Malaysia's government is going to ban or block Malaysians from using faceboook after the incident of Alviss Kong's suicide. As the intensity of debate over the suicide accelerates, a several facebook users follow suit and claim they are going to kill themselves too (copycat's suicide). Of cos most of these people are pranksters.


Many concern that the suicide trend might be a good excuse for government to shut down Facebook. Do remember that Malaysia is not a socialist country. The government cannot just ban Malaysians from accessing Facebook and intervene our freedom of speech, and there is no such law that prohibit people from leaving suicide note (as long as they do not attempt suicide). Besides, just because a few people are leaving suicide notes on facebook it doesn't make it a valid reason to stop people from using it. Accident rate in Malaysia is high, is that implying a car-ban as well?

I realized many people are sharing false information on facebook without clarifying the validity. Please do not believe everything you read on internet, be a smart internet user. I came across a good-course website and read one particularly interesting comment left by a Chinese (China Chinese), :"... I discovered this after I came to America, and I can use facebook here too! I want to do more to help solving problems around the world....", and I realized facebook is not a right, but a privilege for many people, but many Malaysians choose to abuse such privilege instead of benefiting from it. How sad is that.

Singapore jealous of Malaysia?

Last couple of days, WikiLeaks released the cables between US and Singapore officials that say Malaysia's decline is due to incompetent politicians. Read this instead of Alviss Kong news, that's retarded. According to Ibrahim Ali, Singapore is jealous of Malaysia's achievement. Singapore said that because they have been holding grudge towards Malaysia for a long time. 

What make Singapore jealous of Malaysia? We have Petronas Twin Tower and another 100-storey Warisan Merdeka is coming up but they don't have? We have leaking Parliament House and they don't have? Singapore's politicians jealous because UMNO's cronies' are all multimillionaires? Or jealous because our flag is more colorful than theirs? 

The only valid reason why Singapore would jealous of Malaysia that I can think of is that we have Ibrahim Ali, and they don't have. But Singapore, you already have Puah Chu Kang and Liang Po Po (even though they're no match for Ibrahim Ali), be grateful ok? When people criticize us, we should implement introspection and improve ourselves, instead of acting like a bitch and denying the facts. 

What I think about Alviss Kong and his fans

I guess a lot of Malaysian facebook users have already known about Alviss Kong, the guy who committed suicide and counted down to his own death on facebook. If you still haven't heard of his name, please refer to this article, or just google his name. After his death, people started to make video clips about him, write stories about him, blog about him, talk to friends about him, mount for him and of cos, some cry for him. Some even started to call him the Malaysian Romeo and made him wikipedia page and a lot of facebook pages to glorify him. From this we can see how teenagers spend their time unproductively.

I don't know him, but I certainly know he was a man of his word; he said he was going to kill himself and he did. Why would he want to kill himself? According to his suicide note, he believed that was a die-for-love, but was that really love? Did he kill himself for the girl? Or he just killed himself for himself?

Suddenly he is at the middle of spotlight now, thousands of teenagers 'LIKE' his fan page. But for what? To signify respect, worship, idolatry towards him? For his 'courage' and his 'romance'? Courage to commit suicide but too afraid to live a life? Romance about he killed himself and made the girl the person to blame? Calling this act of stupidity as love would be pettifogging.

The whole incident shows us a very important message; there are a lot of immatures out there in Malaysia. Their values and way of thinking have been twisted by too much of cults and distorted ideologies. The fact is committing suicide this way, like Alviss Kong's way is just unworthy and stupid. It doesn't even worth the slightest admiration.

Life is full of chances and tomorrow will always be a better day. Millions and billions of people are struggling to survive. I don't want to talk much, so just watch the video. You'll know you're mature enough if you idolize the man in the video. This is their website and the great man is named Mr. Narayanan Krishnan.


Non-Bumi lack patriotism?

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, the Defence Minister said he did not mean to hurt our feeling (non-bumiputra) when he mentioned the low participation of non-bumi in army is due to lack of patriotism. However he did not apologize for what he had said, but that's ok because all Malaysians have the freedom of speech. If he thinks lack of patriotism is one of the factors why non-Malays don't want to join army, so be it. Want to know about the details click here.

But dear Defence Minister, is there only one way to show patriotism? Some sing Negaraku (national anthem of Malaysia), some fly Jalur Gemilang (flag of Malaysia), some develop the country's economy, some win squash games and some urge non-Malays to join the army; are these not expression of love towards the country?


Earlier this year in May, when Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) held a recruitment drive for 40 vacancies for investigating officers and assistants, more than 400 Chinese turned up. Did that not show how non-Malays love the country? These people know what this country really needs; less corruptions and more transparencies. Is that patriotism?

Remember the jet-fighter engine worth RM50million stolen from airbase end of last year? Tell me it wasn't an inside job? So patriotism is the only reason to join army? Apparently not.

Malaysia Bans Facebook?

Someone finally came up with a brilliant idea to solve the ongoing argument between pro-government and opposition supporters on Facebook. He thought :"Why not just ban Facebook?"

I must admit, this is the most brilliant idea I have ever heard. Why no one has ever thought of it before? No facebook, means no more 1M Malaysians Reject 100-storey Mega Tower page, no more Lim Kit Siang, no more Hishamuddin Rais, so on and so forth thus threats to national securities will be gone.

Besides, ban facebook can indirectly increase the nation's productivity as people will focus more on working rather than farming on Farmville, hence improve the economic performance and we'll be high income individuals in no time! If that's not wisdom what is that?

Update:
Malaysia will not ban facebook.


The Lesson of Old Farmer and His Cow

A young traveler saw a cow tied to a small stake. He walked up to the old farmer and said :"Oh farmer, it will run away." The old man chuckled, and said :"No, it will not. It has always been so." The young man was confused, he could not help but to ask :"Why not? It's just a small stake, the cow can easily break free from it."

The farmer approached the young traveler and whispered to his ear, as if he did not want the cow to listen to what he was about to tell. "It has been tethered to this thin stake since it was a calf. Initially it struggled and tried to escape but it was too weak to break free; after a several attempts, it gave up struggling. Later it grew up, I was thinking maybe it will break away to eat the grass if I put the hay beyond where it can reach. But it did not, it just stood still and looked at the fodder. Interesting?"


Spanish woman claims ownership of the sun

A Spanish woman claims that she is now the owner of the sun after registering it as her property with the local notary and plans to charge those who uses it (read full story here).



To start charging us for using the sun, first she needs to startup a company and to do that she needs a company name. I think the best name for the company would be simply S.U.N. (Spanish Ultimate Nonsense).

Then she needs a catchy company line that when people see it they will think of the S.U.N, I guess "There ain't no such thing as free sun." will do.

Now we have to pay for everything on earth? Air, water, earth, and even the sun? LOL

10 Movies You Must Watch (Part 3/3)

Check out the 1st part and and 2nd part. I don't really have a certain type or genre of favorite movie but I'm rather picky when it comes to the quality of the story and actors' acting skills. I don't memorize actor name on purpose, but I do have a few name that I really enjoy their works; Al Pacino, Russell Crowe, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks and so forth.

No.7 Pursuit of Happyness. Yes, I know I spelled happyness wrongly, but that's the title. Want to know why? Watch the movie yourself. The movie is based on a true story, talking about a mid-aged man who screwed up his business and faced serious financial problem. Eventually his wife left him and he insisted to take care of his son by himself and they stepped on to journey of pursuing happiness.


No.8 Gladiator. The story based on ancient Rome, a general got framed by Roman prince out of jealousy. Later, the general returned to Rome as gladiator to regain his honors and everything he has lost, and of cos to have his long-waited vengeance.


No. 9 Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump was a dumb but lucky and kind-hearted guy. He was persistent, innocent, obedient and loyal. His characteristics had led him to a exciting and great life. This is one of the most touching show I ever watched.


Last but not least, The Bucket List. What if there is only 3 months left in your life? What are you going to do with it? These 2 dying old men probably lived more lives than ever before, after they found out that they have not much time left.


These are only part of the movie I would like to share. Let my know if you like it and I'll share more.

10 Movies You Must Watch (Part 2/3)

Continue from the previous post 10 Movies You Must Watch (Part 1/3).

No.4 movie you have to see before you die - The Lord of The Rings. I guess even if you have not seen the movie, you must have heard of it also. It's a story about destroying an evil ring to prevent return of evil, but ironically to destroy it the fellowship has to travel into the lair of the evils. The ring had the power to breed dark side of the carrier of ring, therefore the carrier must fight the evil side. 



No. 5 The Pianist is one of the most touching war movie I ever have seen. The story is about a famous Jewish pianist surviving the World War I and Nazi's genocide of Jews. He did not fight like what other Jews did, he hid from the Nazi army but ironically the one who saved his life was a Nazi's officer. No one listen to music during the war, but the pianist had nothing left but his music in his heart and the music accompanied him during his toughest time. 


No.6 Watchmen, this is not a typical superheroes movie. If you're looking for superhero-saves-the-day then this is not the film you would like to see. I have friends who claimed that this is the suckiest film she has ever seen, but I totally disagree with her. The ideologies behind the movie are deep, not everyone can understand what the movie is selling; one of the heroes tried to save the world by destroying it, deep?   



10 Movies You Must Watch (Part 1/3)

I love movies and I have watched quite a number of movies to come up with this list of 10 movies that you must watch. I know this is quite random because I have never done any movie review but this is something really worth sharing, and you might like them if you love movies too.

Number 1 the best of all time goes to The Godfather. Godfather is talking about Italian young man who went to America to earn a living and eventually grew big and become a mafia family leader. Al Pacino later stepped in as his father successor to protect the family. He thought by growing bigger he could protect his family but the bigger he grows the weaker he becomes. The mafia's power eventually penetrated Vatican, the holy city. The movie has totally 3 parts so make sure you watch it all.



No.2 goes to Rocky by Sylvester Stallone. The movie uses a underdog boxer's life as background and shows audience the up-and-down and the meanings of life. Rocky Balboa got his once-in-life-time opportunity to fight with champion and he gave his best shot and became famous but this is not all, Rocky got totally 6 parts talking about the different stages of life. If you think Rocky is about fighting you probably right, but not in boxing ring and not about violence, but about fighting against all odds in life. 


No.3, The Shawshank Redemption. It's the old fashion prison break, not the high-tech Michael Scofield prison break but I would say I prefer the old school. Breaking out is easy part, surviving the outside world after 18-years of prison is the headache part.   



Stupid Housewife Wants to be A Millionaire

A stupid and greedy housewife contributed her savings of nearly RM250thousands to a "sifu" whom promised her at least RM1million in prize-winning four-digit numbers. Sifu refers to people who claim themselves have ability to communicate with natural forces, gods and spirits, therefore getting a winning 4D lottery numbers would be a piece of cake. Read more there.


Seriously I feel like quiting my college, cause it's so easy to get money from housewives. Just do a quick search on Google and you'll see plenty of them out there.

Goodbye to The Social Network Premiere Screening

I was invited to attend the premiere screening of The Social Network and I let the chance slipped through my fingers. I got the invitation last week and sadly I wasn't in the town and got no internet access so I didn't check my email. Nuffnang required me to confirm my attendance before 17 November, and when I finally check my email last night, I realized I just missed the deadline. So no more premiere screening for me, and it's my first time to win something from Nuffnang (disappointed). Anyway, to the person who got my ticket, please enjoy the show and congratulation too.

The Social Network 

Teenagers bully homeless old man

The video shows 2 shameless teenagers who thought it's fun to bully a homeless old man. They slapped his head and left him shocked. He showed a "no more please" hand signal to them and these eventually two bastards left him alone.  



This is the outcome of Malaysia's education system? Bastards who have fun by bullying weaker people? Is this the future of Malaysia? 

Teacher rapes 12 years-old girl

31 years old teacher sentenced to 36 years and 4 rotans for raping a 12 years old school girl. For details, read this.

How on earth that the 12 years old girl triggered his sexual arousal? An average 12 years old school girl who just got into puberty stage and barely have any boob or anything closer to a girl that appears to be sexually attractive.

elementary school kids

I wonder if there is any pre-employment test and psychological test before in process of hiring teachers. These are the voices of tomorrow we're talking about, at the young age, teachers play very important roles and have great influences in shaping their personalities. Imagine a extremist constantly instill negative ideologies to these young pupils who barely have any judging ability.

There is black sheep in every flock, but prevention is better than cure. The damage is done, and the impact is irreversible no matter how many years he got sentenced to. 


Retarded Teen Speeds on LDP

In this video, the retarded driver was speeding through LDP (Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong) with at least 180km/h where the speed limit along the highway is only 60 to 80km/h. The retard basically overspeed by 100km/h on average. The retard also cannot stand with the idea of there is a car in front of her, so she overtook every car got into her way.


An act of idiocy cannot be done alone, there must be a bunch of idiots and retards provoking each other. There are 4 voices in this video, 2 guys and 2 girls. They were praising her driving skill and the performance of the car she was driving. These bunch of idiots also cheered for her when she successfully overtakes cars.

What's wrong with this people? Don't they realize speeding kills? This is a public road, not your private race track. Why not have some group sex if you're seeking for some intense excitement? Speed is better than sex?

TM uses Facebook to Boost Productivity

I saw this photo on facebook just now and I thought it would be interesting to share with people.


At first glance, you might not find this photo interesting. So lets enlarge it and take a closer look.


It must be TM is starting to utilize facebook as a medium to connect all its employees. She was probably communicating the customer's complaint to her superior. The idea is simply brilliant! Facebook instead of its own intranet, it would probably save up millions of ringgit per year and yet enjoy the same or even more features. They can have a group, and with new group chat feature management doesn't even need to have face-to-face meeting anymore!

The money saved can be used to upgrade its internet service too. Even though it's already excellent now, but excellent will never be good enough for ambitious and visionary company like TM. It will not stop until all Malaysians can enjoy free high speed internet access! Bravo!

I'm dead sure she wasn't using facebook for personal purposes during working hour.

Maybank2U Fraud Email

Last week I got an email from Maybank, with email address of (m2u@maybank.com.my). The email asks me to reactive my Maybank online banking account because it has been temporarily disabled for security purpose. I recognized it as a fraud email immediately, because I don't even have an account with Maybank. However, the email address was convincing because of the @maybank.com.my. 

screenshot of the email

the content of the email

There hyperlink navigates me to a website with a layout almost identical to maybank2u.com. However, you can identify by the addresses; the fake website and the real Maybank2u online banking website

the fake website

the real website

Take a closer look and you will notice there is a green color lock beside the address of the genuine site and there isn't at the fake one. Do not login to the fake website with your genuine Maybank2u username and password because the fraudsters will gain access to your banking information and details if you do. I already reported this to Maybank customer service and hopefully they will close down the phishing site as soon as possible.

Genting Fatal Bus Crash

Another fatal accident! Bus again! This time 7 people were killed and more than 20 people injured. The crash happened just now at 7.51pm, near by the gate at foothills (a gate, a police station, or what-so-ever, I don't really know what it's called)

Monetize Your Blog - Pros and Cons

Pros

1. Make money, also improve blogging skills
Blog without quality contents won't go far. As some bloggers say: Content is king. However it's arguable, I have seen some famous bloggers with not really good contents. Maybe people aren't looking for content but some other things.

2. Make money, also make friends
When you decide to go pro, you need supports and learn from other bloggers. Along the way you pick up some friends. One of the advantage of making money from blog is you don't really have intense competition - people can read your blog and at the same time read your friends' blogs, so there is not conflict of interest.

3. Make money, also get the sense of accomplishment
Seeing people come in to your blog is an indescribable feeling. The feeling of being recognized is good and you get the sense of accomplishment.   

Cons

1. Make money, but lose credibility 
People have little trust in advertorial, it might seems like you promote the particular product or service for the sake of money.

2. Make money, but lose liberty
You might need to please you readers by writing something they like and want to read instead of something you really want to write (because it might be boring).

3. Make money, but lose pleasure
You need to increase you traffic, it's a headache. When you lose you traffic, it's pressure.



This is just my 2 cents of opinion. 



Paul The Octopus is Dead!

Controversial Paul the Octopus is dead! Paul made his fame during the World Cup 2010 for his prefect prediction over game results, including the final which Spain won Germany by 1-0.


For more information click here.

Flying Screwdriver

A young lady was stunned to see her car's windscreen cracked by a screwdriver. As usual, for more reading, click here. I am reluctant to duplicate the info and create internet junks. 

I wonder if someone threw the screwdriver or it's merely an accident? 

It seems like government's vision Wawasan 2020 to achieve status of developed country is still far far away from us. No wonder many foreigners still think Malaysians are staying on trees.   



In order to become a developed nation, it takes more than just sustainable economic development. The term "developed nation" refers to political, economical, cultural, social, educational advancements, lacks of any one a developed nation cannot be achieved. 


How to feature your post in Nuffnang's Innit?

Many bloggers with Nuffnang's Glitterati status like to promote their blogs through Innit, Nuffnang's very own blog exchange and blog promotion site. The question frequently asked is how to fully utilize Innit to gain maximize exposure for your blog?

First we have to understand how Innit works. Once you share a post on Innit, other bloggers can Nang or Dang your post. The more nang you got, the higher the chance to get your post appears on the Featured Posts section. Featured post allows maximum exposure and people will click on it thus you gain traffic.

featured posts

Exposure is the key here. There are so many bloggers posting so many different post everyday. Making yourself distinctive to maximize exposure is how you should play the Innit game.

Second, ask yourself what kind of post makes you interested to read? If you're not interested with some strangers' personal life, what makes you think they will be interested with yours? Most of the Innit users are looking forwards to how to increase their blog's traffic and earning. So try to post something about how to increase traffic, earning and how to get buffered earning.

Third, attract as many people as you can to nang your post, use the Innit chat. Study the number of nang of the featured posts, if one of the featured post only has 20 nangs, you only need 21 nangs to replace it. In a nutshell, to play the Innit game you have to get people to nang you.


Keep you post tittle brief and precise. People decide whether or not to nang you post based on your tittle. Don't have to use a very fancy title, it actually turn me off to be frank. Title should tell people what are they about to read, a snapshot of the post. If it's possible, try to keep the title  short, because once you get into Featured Posts section, people could not read the whole title. It only shows part of your title. 

The most effective way to improve blog traffic - Facebook

I discovered some very effective ways to gain blog traffic. I personally use it and my traffic increases about 1000%. Even though my page isn't generating 10k traffic per day, but still it proved it is effective especially if you're blogging about something worth for readers to share, by their standards of cos, not yours. If you're blogging about your emotion and feeling, I doubt that this post can help you. 


The most valuable lesson I have learned is to utilize your social network. The biggest and most popular social network is no doubt the Facebook, founded by the legendary nerd Mark Zuckerberg.  


There are a several very useful functions on Facebook, for example the Share button, Like button, and Fan page. The best of all, they're free of charge. For small-fry blogger like me, cost is most important factor I care in choosing the methods of promoting my page. So FOC is good.


Make sure you place Like and Share buttons for every single blog post you publish. So that people who find it interesting have higher tendencies to share it on Facebook. Convenience is playing a very important role here. Readers might be reluctant to share if they have to copy the page link and share it manually, it's too troublesome. 


Second thing is the Like button. It serves more than just a tool for people to "like" your post, it's rating. When people see a high number of "like" for a particular post. They might stop to read your contents, to find out why so many people like it. Herd mentality is the key. 


The third thing is Fan page. Create a fan page for your page. When people become fans, they indirectly follow you. To certain extents, fan page has the functionality of Twitter, RSS and bookmark. When you update your fan page, they will see it. It's better than Twitter because your fans can have a platform of discussion on Facebook. The downside is that people might not login to Facebook everyday or they might miss your update on. So, the best thing is to get your readers bookmark your page. That's it, my 2 cents of opinion. 



Bus Driver was Innocent! (10.10.10 Accident Update)

Bus driver did not cause the horrific accident because of speeding. He was trying to avoid an overtaking car! He was innocent.


According to eyewitnesses, the bus did not speed but moving steadily with approximately 90km/h at middle lane. The Chinese couple, Ms. Lu (makeup artist) and Mr. Xu (businessman) was driving about 100 meters behind the bus before the horrific accident happened. Both of them claimed that the bus steered a bit to left before it lost control and crashed to the opposite expressway.  Note: I translated the couple's names from Chinese. 


They suspect a car moved from fast lane to middle lane out of sudden and the bus was trying to avoid the car but failed and eventually lost control. 


Green car was the eyewitnesses' car, 
while X was the car suspected to be the cause of accident.  




The bus driver's wife said her late husband was a careful driver, it's very unlikely that he over-speed and put others' life on risk. According to a reliable source, the deceased's daughter gets a lot of calls and messages accusing her father as murderer. 


People, if you read this I beg you to spread this because he was innocent. He should not be called a murderer and his family should not be disturbed this way.

How should we feel about accident and its victims?

A question popped out in my mind: How should we feel about accident and people affected by it. 

I guess most people would say they feel sympathetic for these victims and condoled with families in their losses. But is this concern of empathy applicable to all cases? What if someone dies because of his or her own mistake and worse, the mistake costs innocent people's life? In such situation, should we feel pity for him or her too? 

Do people really feel sympathetic for deceased and injured? Or some show empathy out of social pressure, so they wouldn't look cold-blooded? Why people stop to look at accident scene even if they know they couldn't help? Are they really concerned or they just want to fulfill their curiosities? 

People point fingers to government for not doing anything to reduce accident rate in this country. Is the government not doing enough? It's completely up to the traffic users to comply and obey. 

Most of the people feel lucky, they would never think accident could happen to them and take their lives away. Otherwise, people would start to show consideration on road and compliance to traffic rules. What's the use of showing empathy and not learning from the misfortunes? The greatest stupidity is repeating the same mistake. 




Car Crash Killed 6 in Kampar

2 days after the horrific collision at North South Expressway, another fatal accident happened in Kampar district, Kuala Lumpur - Ipoh truck road at Jeram. This one took away 6 lives.

According to witnesses, the victims were shouting for help: Tolong!! before they were burnt to death.

Initial investigation suggests the car was moving with high speed before it lost control and crashed to trees. When are people going to realize that safety is the only way home?

10.10.10 North-South Expressway Accident - Who to be blamed?

October 10, 2010 or 10.10.10. A special day for many people but also a heartbreaking day for many families. A massive fatal collision happened at North-South Expressway, has taken away 12 lives and injured more than 40 people inclusive of 10 in critical condition. I express my deepest condolence to these innocent victims.


News can be found on The Star, NST, The Sun and all over internet. Video can be found on 8TV facebook page. Some eyewitnesses also took photographs of the scene and shared it on facebook.





















Do not confused between accident and collision, these terms are not interchangeable because accident means there is no one to blame because everything happened by nature. Collision has someone to blame.

Who to be blamed for this massive collision? Whose fault is it the constant high traffic collision rate in Malaysia?

Blame the bus driver for not following the traffic rules?
Passengers for not asking drivers to comply with traffic rules?
The bus companies for not educating their drivers to drive safely?
The law maker for not making tighter traffic rules and regulations?
Traffic police for not enforcing the traffic rules stricter?
PLUS for not building better road?
Proton for not making safer car?
Dunlop for not making tyre with more grips?
Media for not spreading enough road safety messages?
Teachers for not teaching how to drive safe?
Parents for not nagging their children to follow traffic rules?
Time for passing too quickly?

Blame ourselves for being inconsiderate, impatient, and ignorant on road.

You are no Michael Schumacher, nor you are on race track. If you are attempting to commit suicide, there must be a better way to die than reckless driving. You have no right to drag someone else to die together with you. Stop being selfish.
