Kisah blogger disaman sekarang begitu hangat di Malaysia kala ini.Apakah kerajaan sekarang begitu takut dengan tulisan para blogger ini.Memetik kata seorang Menteri yang mengatakan blogger terdiri daripada golongan yang bodoh dan menuduh melulu serta tiada pekerjaan(mengganggur),adakah dia berfikir menggunakan kaki?

Come on,saya rasa ramai blogger tersebut bukanlah seperti apa yang beliau katakan.Malah ada yang lebih baik dan lebih intelektual.Dan tuduhan seperti itu membuatkan rakyat semakin hilang hormat dengan pemimpin kerajaan.Adakah mereka tahu bahawa dunia ini sekang bergerak pantas?Ataupun mereka yang tertinggal sebenarnya.

Ramai para blogger di negara lain ada yang lebih kaya daripada orang yang makan gaji dengan kerajaan.Malah ada di Malaysia!Cuma dengan keadaan minda yang tertutup oleh sesetengah pemimpin dalam menghadapi era globalisasi,sifat egois dan tidak mahu menerima kenyataan,menyebabkan mereka jadi begitu.

Saya ingin menasihatkan supaya mereka-mereka ini agar lebih celik IT dan bukannya sekadar bercakap tanpa asas ataupun menggunakan kelebihan IT ke arah yang salah sahaja.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP): A strong earthquake off Taiwan's southern coast damaged undersea cables, cutting off phone and Internet service Wednesday to parts of China, South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and the United States, companies said. The temblor killed two people.

Repairing the cables harmed by Tuesday's 6.7-magnitude quake could take three weeks but "quality will improve day by day,'' said Lin Jen-hung, vice general manager of Chunghwa Telecom Co., Taiwan's largest phone company.

The company said damage to a cable off Taiwan's southern coast has interrupted 98 percent of Taiwan's communications capacity with Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong.

The damaged lines knocked out Internet service for some Hong Kong customers, who were unable to access Web sites in parts of Asia and the U.S.

Hong Kong telephone company PCCW Ltd., which also provides Internet service, said several undersea data cables were damaged in the quake.

"Data traffic to Taiwan, Korea, Japan and the United States are affected,'' PCCW said in a statement.

The company also warned customers that they may experience congestion for several days on the Internet because of an upsurge in use as people surf the Web for more information about the quake.

Financial traders in Hong Kong -- one of Asia's biggest business capitals -- complained they lost their connection to Bloomberg LP, a key provider of news and data about stock markets. Bloomberg declined to immediately comment on the outage.

Internet access has been cut or has become extremely slow in Beijing, said an official from China Netcom, China's No. 2 phone company.

The official, who would not give his name, said the cause was thought to be the earthquake, but he had not further details. Businesses in various parts of the city also said they were experiencing Internet access problems.

CCTV, the state-run television network, said the earthquake had damaged undersea communications cables from China to the United States and from Asia to Europe.

It said China Telecom Corp., China's biggest phone company, was contacting counterparts in the United States and Europe about using satellites to make up for the shortfall.

The quake, which hit offshore from the town of Hengchun near Taiwan's southern tip, came on the second anniversary of the tsunami that killed more than 200,000 lives in southern Asia.

Japan's Meteorological Bureau said Tuesday a one-meter (3.3-foot) tsunami might be headed toward the eastern coast of the Philippines, but officials later lifted the warning.

In Taiwan, two members of one family were killed Tuesday in Hengchun when their four-story home collapsed. Six other members of the family were rescued from under the rubble early Wednesday, the National Fire Agency said in a statement.

The quake injured 42 people, three homes collapsed and 12 fires broke out, the fire agency said.

Tuesday's quake was felt throughout Taiwan. It shook buildings and knocked objects off the shelves in the capital, Taipei, in the northern part of the island.

Several high-rise hotels swayed violently in the southern city of Kaohsiung, CTI Cable News reported.

Liao Ching-ling, a manager at the city's Ambassador Hotel, said the quake was the strongest she had ever felt.

"The building swayed so badly that many guests panicked and ran out of their rooms and into the streets,'' she said.

Quakes frequently shake Taiwan, which is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire,'' an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin. Most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake in central Taiwan in September 1999 killed more than 2,300 people

KUALA LUMPUR: Do not fall prey to a direct-selling company that claims its members will be eligible for Finance Ministry loans. The ministry is not collaborating with any organisation to offer loans, said Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen.

She said the ministry’s loan system was open to all and not limited to those who joined certain organisations. Those who want to secure loans should apply directly to the ministry.

“I have been just informed about a scam in Negri Sembilan where a direct selling company has been using the supposed loan eligibility as bait to get more members,” she told reporters after attending the MCA Cupid Space “Click@Party” on Sunday.

Dr Ng said the company had told potential members that they could obtain up to RM50,000 in business loans if they joined as members.

“They have to pay RM300 to join as members and also purchase goods like health products before they can apply for the loans.”

HOPING TO CLICK: Dr Ng (second from right) and Wanita MCA Cupid Space national chairman Julia Wong (right) handing out gifts at the MCA Cupid Space ‘Click@Party’ on Sunday.
She said some of those who

had joined the company had contacted the Negri Sembilan MCA office.

Dr Ng added that some MCA members had also joined the company to get more details on the operations and would be submitting whatever information they had on the company.

She believed that the scam was one of the ways used by unscrupulous parties to make money since the Government started to come down hard on illegal moneylenders, known here as Ah Long.

Dr Ng said people must be wary of any group claiming it can help secure government loans.

She also urged those who had already registered as members to contact the Negri Sembilan MCA.

Malaysia today has been more succesful rather than recent past year.In below the new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, we hope that our Malaysia will be more succesfull and more oppurtunity to come.Although the development in Malaysia is a bit slow than the past year, it not telling us that our economy has turn down.It just a 'safe play' ideas by our prime minister to not let go our economy again to another attacks by a greedy economics hungry person that want to take apart from ours rapid economy success. The prime minister also want us to be more contributional person rather than hoping from the goverment to help them.In this tight economy hungry system now,we must be able to corporate with the goverment to ensure that all the society and the NGO in Malaysia and all the people in this country can share the wealth and their expertise side-by-side with the goverment to make our country more success.
