Perhaps I missed out this news on TV / Newpapers (maybe it was published in _the_tiny_little_column_that_we_always_miss_out). Or perhaps, they are still busy with the press restriction at lobby of the Malaysian Parliament.

Here are some photos that were forwarded to me. Street protest is bad. But what else could they do?

This is funny. UN against Open Source

友人把这笑话转发。觉得它完完全全的反映当今的大马。

小明的作业要用国家、社会、党、人民来造句。他不理解，就去问爸爸。
爸爸：国家就象你奶奶，地位最高，但是实际上管不了什么事。党就象我，咱家里我说了算，社会就象你妈，为你奶奶、我、你，我们大家服务。人民就象你，我们谁的话你都得听。
晚上小明还是不太明白，就再去爸爸的房间问爸爸，爸爸正和妈妈两人XX，一脚就把他给踢了出来，他哭着去找奶奶，可是奶奶已经睡下了。小明没办法，随便造了句就去睡觉了。
转天爸爸接到学校老师的电话。

老师：小明的造句是谁给造的？
爸爸：他造得不好吗？
老师：是造的太好了，让我们以为不是他造的。
爸爸：他怎么造的？

老师：”国家在沉睡，党在玩社会，社会在呻吟，人民在哭泣。“

I’d like to wish all of my friends who are celebrating Chinese New Year on this coming 7th and 8th Feb, A happy,healthy,prosperous years ahead and may your all wishes come true. 新年快乐。

These were taken from a particular mail. They caught my attention.

The demolition of the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Kampung Karuppiah in Padang Jawa, Shah Alam

Demolished

Stand-off

4 Human rights lawyers arrested handcuffed and locked up for defending Hindu temple demolition

Mr.P.Uthayakumar, Mr.P.Waythamoorthy, Mr.Manoharan And Mr.Ganabatirau

Police Report lodged against Constable Hasrul

It is sad to see all these cases taken place in Malaysia. If you’d like to know more about demolition of Hindu temples in Malaysia, feel free to visit these sites. The more I read the more absurdity I sense.

Anyhow, I’d like to wish all my fellow Hindus pals a happy and joyful Deepavali.

I hate to say this. But I really disappointed by the way LPI handles their operations especially email inquiries to info@lpi.org. About 6-7 week after receiving notification of completion of LPIC 1, I didn’t get my certification from LPI. I tried to contact LPI via email.

All I get from info@lpi.org is auto email response stating, “Hello, and thank you for writting to the Linux Professional Institute. This email is being sent to you because you sent a message to info@lpi.org. yada yada yada blah blah blah………..”.

After a couple of weeks with a few follow-up emails, and still no response from the LPI. I admit that I hate CC feature in email, but it works effectively on most of cases and especially in Malaysia.

So I checked up the staff list at this page and picked up the emails of Director of Communications, Director of Operations and Executive Assistant. Added them to CC and forward my queries. Guess what, I’ve got a response from Scott within 5 minutes (Thank you Mr. Scott Lamberton).

All I can say is a professional body should behave the way its members are expected to behave professionally.

真的存在吗？
