You’ve heard the phrase, you cannot create something viral: it just becomes viral. And it’s absolutely true!
On January 16th 2010, the Malaysian Information Communication and Culture minister, Dr Rais Yatim stated the following, which was deemed as rather preposterous. This had the whole Internet up in arms against him, especially on the Twittersphere. Here’s an excerpt on what he said taken from The Star Online:
SEREMBAN: Malaysians, especially Muslims, must avoid being totally immersed in the internet culture, especially Facebook and Twitter, said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr …

Today, I was given the opportunity to speak to a small group of pastors and ministries and share with them on “Tools and toys to enhance your ministry”. Having been in church for a good 30 or so years of my life, I’ve experienced heaps and I am sensitive to what engages and what doesn’t. I hear a lot from people who are both creative and non-creative.
As such, I decided to try and help expose the group to the current trends and what tools can be used for God’s glory.
Free …

Slightly over a month has passed since Yasmin Ahmad addressed a crowd of about a hundred at the TEDxKL talk, and today, we mourn her loss. The sudden passing was definitely a shock for many and it just goes to show how frail and fragile life really is.
I was honored to be given the opportunity to record her live, and she even addressed me as “the camera-man“. This clip has not been edited to incorporate footage from another camera we had, due to time constraint. We felt it was timely …

Today, The Star Online hosted a “live” interview with Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili, Science, Technology and Innovation minister of Malaysia via an IRC like interface where viewers could read moderated questions posed to him and his replies.The topic was The Internet: Is speed all that matters?
I was interested to see what he would have to say and how live the interview would be. I was deeply unimpressed as there was really no form of active interaction between the audience and him. For all we know, he could have been asleep …

BarCamp KL was an amazing event, with 100s of likeminded individuals crowding together at Inti College, just to bounce off each other’s passion. It was my first time attending a BarCamp and it was a fun-filled day of various activities.
It goes to prove that geeks are cool (most of us anyway…) and we have varied interests. There were sessions on how to Salsa, Espresso appreciation, sharing of holiday experiences, Kufi art and also a little about coding standards. Overall it’s just a gathering to network and meet others. A few …

Wow, I end the year with spelling errors on the national postal service website, and I start the year with an “interesting message” for the Kuala Lumpur City Hall left by a certain interesting individual with the handle “manadocoding”. It’s supposedly left for a “malingsia” – or is that supposedly Malaysia? Whatever the case, it’s really embarrassing – and no one has stepped in to fix it yet. It’s been a good 48 hours since.

Our enterprising detectives at my office – Integricity, set off immediately to google the handles, and …

Thanks to a posting by Cindy Tham of The Nut Graph, I found out about this government website that has “atrochers engrish” – honestly, it is sooo bad. And I am positive my 12 year old cousin can write better.

To capture and archive the state of affairs for you, here is what the site says… My favorite sections have been italicized.
1. What is NRD’s website?
NRD website is abbreviation to official web National Registration Department. NRD website make major world to information and national registration department service through Internet.
2. Why this …

Today is a sad day for Malaysia. We are currently witnessing a deterioration of our government on many fronts, and this has now extended to the freedom that we Malaysians enjoy on the Internet.
The problem – the government now selectively limits what site we are allowed to access and directs the Internet service providers (ISPs) to abide accordingly. As of the 27th of August 2008, access to a prominent and controversial blogger’s website – Raja Petra’s Malaysia-Today.net was blocked.
An initial investigation showed that the DNS servers for our national ISP …
