Slow Loading themalaysianinsider
Hei.. it’s so slow accessing themalaysianinsider, at home, via TMnet Streamyx. Access to any other websites are normal. Do you experience the same?
Malaysian Insider, is that due to high traffic to the website so the response slow?

How is the speed now? Let’s have a look.
Connection type: TMnet Streamyx.
Testing server location: Singapore
Looks great. Try some servers further away.
So, the results look like this:
Not that great. Let’s try others. Looks better with this:
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.

诚邀出席“还我公民权，争取投票权！――砂州原住民权利现况影片分享暨交流会”
又称“犀鸟之乡”的砂拉越，面积约124.450平方公里，约有240万人，由23个族群所组成，境内约1/3居民皆为原住民。依当地国民登记局的惊人数据，这个我国最大的州属竟有约6万6千名原住民还不具备身份证或报生纸等足以证明其公民身份的证件。
这种情况何以发生？试想，在陆路交通不发达的砂拉越，前往美里国民登记局处理申请手续，每人单趟就必须花至少100令吉，对处于赤贫线下的原住民是难以想象的沉重负担。
他们因为不懂填写样式复杂的表格，反复申请十多次，仍未获得报生纸或身份证。不少人因申请费用昂贵，干脆放弃申请。
州内国民登记局规定，在婴孩出生后的首14天内申请报生纸，并不需要交申请费。可是从第15天至42天内申请，则需要缴交5令吉费用。若超出43天，则必须缴交10令吉。
至于无法如期申请身份证者，罚锾更重，从20令吉起跳，最高可达200令吉。许多毫无收入的内陆原住民根本付不起这样的手续费和罚款。
曾几何时，他们在这块土地上与世无争，经历国阵政府近半世纪的统治下，原住民社群族丰富独特的历史文化与生存空间日益受威胁，污名化、文化断层、母语流失等困境从未停止；公民权、投票权、文化教育权，对他们而言，更是遥不可及的梦。在同一个马来西亚的苍穹下，请大家一起来关心他们的权利现况！

We can Ban the Book.. but the World is Reading It.
We ban the book written by Barry Wain about some ‘facts’ about ex-PM? So how did it come along with? The book did mention something 100 Billion loses of national treasure, but what the real story is? Isn’t that people’s right to have a look, and if the story is just invention, why not Dr. M come out and clear his name? Why not we sit down and discuss openly to make things clearer?
The whole world might be reading, but we as the group of people that most involved are not able to have a peek. If the information in the book is so wrong, why not let us people find out the truth and tell the world what written in the book is just nonsense.
Anyhow, book can be banned, but information is not. If anybody having a kindle reader, he can just download a electronic copy from Amazon. At the same time, guess what, the book is hot selling in our neighbor Singapore. Guess how many of the purchase are Malaysian.
