malaysia-50th-birthday

I like to write this post to express my feeling to this lovely country - Malaysia which will turn into 50th years of independence on tomorrow.

After watching a ‘Video Response to Negarakuku‘ video which put up by a Malaysian in YouTube. It is good to share with all my readers. This video is a response to Namewee’s Negarakuku video, and to make all races to understand fact. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you can watch the video from Namewee.

Here is my comment for this video:

I am fully agree with the message brought out in this video. Fighting and talking bad to each other won’t solve the problems arise so far. There are certain level of misunderstanding between the different races in Malaysia, we shouldn’t blame each other and should sit down to solve this issue.

I am not someone who can influence the Malaysia political, economic and political issue, I felt it is good if some of the more influence can know my voice (and many other) as ordinary Malaysian. Here is my wishes for Malaysia’s 50th Birthday:

  • Be united and resolve misunderstanding between the races.
  • Recognation for the hard works from the difference races by all races. This is a multi-racial community, everyone efforts should be recognised. Everyone should understand team works is better than lonely ranger.
  • Continue maintain peace and war free
  • Economic continue to growth strong.
  • Truly freedom in religion belief.
  • much much more …

I remembered someone ask this recently: Malaysia has achieved 50 years of indenpance, are you feel like celebrating Malaysia 50th year Birthday in 31st August? If not, why?

I came across on an article by Jonathan Deamer about 50 signs you’re a blogoholic. Find out whether you have at least one of these signs mentioned by Jonathan Deamer.

I have gone through the list and luckily none of these 50 signs appear to me …. Go and check out for yourself. Have fun!

Scam is happen every where and anytime, either offline or online. Recently I received a call saying that I was missed on a court hearing on a criminal case. I was shocked to hear that and I further investigate with the caller. The conclusion I got from the conversation is this is a scam.

To find out the similar news happen to others, you can read from Jee’s blog, USJ Forum and Tenth Of March. If you receiving some voice mail call and saying you miss the first hearing on court case, you should hang up the call immediately.

I have some tips for you to pick up in order to avoid becoming the next victim.

Tips #1: Stay clam and cool

Most of the time, we are falling into our self-made trap. If we stay clam and panic, we can avoid this happen to us most of the time.

Tip #2: Read Your Local Newspaper

This case was reported in the Star paper and the reason I didn’t know this after I have stop reading newspapers regularly. I learnt one thing from here, you got to constantly read local newspapers from time to time, help you aware of what’s happening in your area.

Tips #3: Do not disclose your personal info.

Most of the time, they don’t know who you are except the contact number or your name. Try to ask for their identification before you disclose your personal data.Take for example, if they claim they are police, ask for his/her police ID no.

Tips #4: Do not try to settle the problem by offering cash payment.

Just remember, the scammers are looking for victim for ONE purpose. That is to get your money. If you are trying to offer them cash payment. You are in fact, fall into their trap.

Tips #5: Use Common Sense

This is quite important as it helps you to find out whether it is a true or scam case. In the scam I got, which is a man claimed he called from Police Head Office but he sound like a Chinese and speak mandarin. Most of us knew, anyone who works in police department must be able to converse in Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) in Malaysia. Immediate I suspect him, I tested him by speak Malay language and he failed to replying me in Malay language.

Tips #6: Make a police report

If you feel there is a need to make a police report, go ahead to visit police station nearby. This is not just a to protect yourself but also inform the respective department and let them aware of the latest scam happen in town.

Share this to your friends, relatives or neighbours before they received the similar call. I told my buddy, MelvinNg on the same day I received the call. He called me back in the afternoon saying that he also received the same call. You could have save someone by sharing this.
