Ok, Let’s Forget About the Engine, But…

We want to have the integrity and transparency back. We want to have somebody responsible.

It was a ‘good’ news (?) that the air force manage to locate the stolen 2 pieces of fighter jet engines.

Ok, now the discussion is whether and how to transfer the engines back?

Yet, that is not important at all because in accordance to our lovely PM Najib, the engines are too old and not at all worth to take back.

Fine. Then let’s don’t waste time on that.

So, considered case closed? And we have a happy ending now?

Not yet. So far no reasonable conclusion on how the hell the two pity jet engine been transferred out of the air force base. Who the hell have the contact and capability to sell them so far away out of the country.

Most importantly, it was indeed happening during the tenure of Najib as Minister of Defense. How come we don’t even have a clear explanation from him? Shouldn’t him be the one who have to at least take part of the responsibility?

Can we just leave it remains silence and soon forgotten? What else can be missing later?

50% of Broadband Penetration

Yes, that’s great to have the vision to increase broadband penetration as much as it can. However, penetration rate is one. But what is the quality of service?

Just right after the announcement by PM Najib, we are again, facing the slow connection to overseas due to damaged sub-marine cable. In the memory we are way too often to suffer from this type of problem – unless you don’t feel once a year is not bad enough. But it really affect a lot of my work and I believe, a lot more other person who rely a lot on Internet connection to perform their day to day work.

What a joke.

Report grabbed from TheStar:

KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd’s (TM) Internet service was disrupted by a damaged underwater cable circuit at the Asian American Gateway (AAG) in Lantau, China.

In a statement issued yesterday, TM said due to the damage at AAG, which links Malaysia to the United States, customers surfing websites hosted in Hong Kong and the US would be experiencing slow connection.

Those using Internet protocol (IP)-like virtual private network (VPN) and critical business applications linked to Hong Kong and the US might encounter service disruption.

The statement said to overcome the problem, several Internet lines were directed to alternative connections to reduce traffic congestion.

With repairs under way, traffic to North America and Hong Kong would experience disruption while traffic to other countries would remain the same.

Logically Speaking…

I have to admit that this is kinda biased opinion. But you think about it logically.

According to a report in SinChew (http://bit.ly/6ocJIk), Pemuda UMNO urging the government to channel the money saved from reduction of sugar subsidy, which theoretically amounting to 260 Mil,  to help low income group.

1. Logically speaking, if the government were to have the money, why at the first place we reduce allocation for school admin cost? Why we canceled/reduced allocation for student meals? (Refer to my post at: Example of Tougher Life.. Version 2010)

2. Logically speaking, this kind of voice just show that what quality our political party is. They shout for the sake of shouting. Sometimes opinion can came from no where but from the buttock. We don’t need a brain to think nowadays.

Companies Preparing for Recovery?

Is that a good sign if you see that companies are more actively hiring new people? I am not sure about other industry, maybe you can provide your feedback to help us see clearer picture.

Being job seeker sometimes, I do have my account with Jobstreet and set up the Job Alert function. Just recently I found that the alert email becoming longer than some time earlier.

I am not sure whether this is a good sign, which signifies that Malaysian economy is getting better and the firms are preparing for another round of good demand. Of course, what I am seeing here is more towards IT or related industry. It may not be equalized to others. However, maybe the small change here can be some clue to the overall market. What is your opinion?
