Since government is already planning to move forward for this implementation, why would they ask us this question? It seems like there are Yes and No. But, think deeply, in fact, there are no options at all because they have already mentioned that if we are not gonna cut down the subsidies, Malaysia will need to bear with heavy debts and gone into bankruptcy in just 9 years. Poor government. You are the one spoiled your people by giving lots of subsidies. Make people of yours felt so wealthy. Are you sure cutting down subsidies is an essential decision? Why put all the blames on subsidies? Think. What have you spent those money on?

Cut subsidies, yes, you may. But, not in one shot (of course I know you will not). The main point is that, the country has no income. Why? Do you guys still remember the incident where the Muslims bombed the Church just because of a very very small issue? Politic issues. Do you guys feel you yourself are ashamed when foreigner investors find it hard to communicate with the government because they don’t speak English fluently? Depending on the translators, huh? Are you expecting the Western people to learn Ba-ha-sa Ma-lay-sia? Gosh. Many issues arose and causing the country to bankrupt, not only in money term, but also reliability. Corruption – is also another big issue where our monies gone.

Government itself is still the main cause of the so call bankruptcy in 9 years. You guys shouldn’t sms us and ask for our opinion because you just want us to reply Yes or No. And, of course, we would say No. Duh! If you allowed us to type our opinions, I guess it would be endless. You guys don’t listen to us. No, you didn’t and you won’t. Because you are too ego and thought that you are still so strong in Asia like in the history? No way. A racist country — Malaysia.

First of all, if you were to ask me, I would prefer Hotlink Youth Club. I have tried all three different student prepaid plan and ended up back to Hotlink. It depends on each individual. It seems that some of its rates are relatively expensive compared to others. Yet, Hotlink Youth Club is good in terms of the reliability. Further, Hotlink has the RM2/hour pass for internet usage. For those who need not to use up to RM8/day, you may choose to purchase RM2/hour pass from your *100#.

* Rates are correct at the time of comparison. They may be changed as per Telcos’ discretion. By: Shyuan

If you love making calls, you could choose Digi Campus. This is because Digi Campus gives you 100 minutes free airtime after you hit RM2 in that particular day. The 100 minutes free airtime is only applicable for Digi-to-Digi calls. Due to this privilege, at the end of the month, you will probably still consume almost the same credits as per compared to Hotlink Youth Club or Celcom SOX/UOX users. This probably due to the reason where you feel wasted if you didn’t hit RM2 to get the daily free airtime (ie. RM2 x 30days = RM60). Talking too much on the phone may cause certain side effects. So, try not to make calls for the sake of making calls, just to fully utilize the free 100 minutes airtime everyday.

Celcom SOX/UOX has its own advantages as well. The most impressive thing is that, the SMS rate to your 8pax is just half a cent. Lol. I don’t really believe it when I heard about it, until I got one for myself. For further details, you may refer to the table above or go to their official websites to make further comparison and obtain further details (especially T&Cs). Good Luck~

Then, I called up Maxis helpline and asked two different operators to see if my number can be ported in to Hotlink prepaid, they said Yes. Till then, the night I emailed Maxis to reconfirm this matter, so that the next day I need not to spend extra time to go to Maxis Centre for nothing. The customer care officer replied me and said Yes Tunetalk prepaid can be ported in to Hotlink prepaid.

Hence, I went to Maxis centre in the Sunway pyramid. A trainee of their information counter, asked me to queue up in the express lane to do MNP process and one funny thing he said was “I don’t think you can do MNP to Hotlink prepaid because usually MNP is for porting into Maxis Postpaid only”. Please, no such thing. I queued for half an hour, and at last it was my turn. Then, the trainee in express counter asked me to go to information counter (Wtf~) to get a queue number in order to do MNP at the device activation counter.

I waited for 1 hour just for 3 people before me. Oh god~ I got so restless already. When it was my turn, (I am sure they are the trainees AGAIN because of their unsure facial expressions) they don’t even know what the hell is TuneTalk, so I explained TuneTalk is a new telco under Tune Company, Tune Company is the company of AirAsia. They still don’t get it and keep asking their colleagues. All of them keep saying dunno and dunno. Wth. I said I have waited for so long. Further, before I come, I have already ensure that Tunetalk is possible to be ported in to Hotlink. The lady handed me a new Hotlink simcard, and said it will be processed and ask me to wait for the confirmation.

Most of the officers I contacted told me that a prepaid number will take less than 24 hours because it has no outstanding amount issue and so on hence it could be even faster in processing it. I don’t think she followed up my case, because before I leaved I saw her putting my copy of IC and my form aside.

It’s already the second day, my Tunetalk is still active and my Hotlink simcard is still “Simcard registration failed”. I am sure they didn’t even bother to help me and just simply neglected my form since MNP is a free service that announced by government.

I called up Maxis again, first person promised would get back to me in 10 minutes, it’s more than 1 hour, I got nothing. I called again, this guy helped me to find out which is the lady who assisted me yesterday. And after 1 hour, only my Tunetalk received messages saying thanks for porting in to Maxis and so on.

LONDON – The first flight has landed at London’s Heathrow Airport — Europe’s busiest hub — since airspace across the continent was closed by ash spewed from a volcano in Iceland.

Many European flights took to the skies Tuesday as airports slowly reopened, but the travel chaos was far from over: A massive flight backlog was growing and scientists feared yet another eruption.

A flight from Vancouver landed at London’s Heathrow shortly before 2200GMT (6 p.m. EDT) — the first since flight paths were closed after Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH’-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) volcano erupted Wednesday.

British Airways said it hoped about 24 other flights bound from the United States, Africa and Asia would land later Tuesday at Heathrow.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

LONDON (AP) — European airports lurched back to life on Tuesday, but the travel gridlock created by Iceland’s volcanic ash plume was far from over: Officials said it would be weeks before tens of thousands of stranded travelers can be brought home.

Passengers wept with relief as flights took off from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport, Amsterdam and elsewhere, while Britain announced its busy airports would reopen later in the day.

Jenny Lynn Cohen, waiting at Charles de Gaulle to travel to San Francisco, had a boarding pass but could hardly believe she was going to fly.

“I am a little afraid — I am hopeful that the plane will take off, and that it won’t meet with any volcanic ash,” she said.

The Eurocontrol air traffic agency in Brussels said it expected just under half of the 27,500 flights over Europe to go ahead Tuesday, a marked improvement over the last few days. The agency predicted close to normal takeoffs by Friday.

It was the first day since the April 14 eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH-lah-yer-kuhl) volcano — dormant for nearly 200 years — that travelers were given a reason for hope.

“The situation today is much improved,” said Brian Flynn, deputy head of operations at the Brussels-based agency.

Conditions changed fast. Airspace in Germany remained officially closed earlier Tuesday, but about 800 flights were allowed at low altitude.

Rita and Peter Meyer said they had to share a hotel room with two strangers in Singapore while waiting to find a way home. News that they could fly home to Frankfurt airport came as they slept.

“Just after midnight — after an hour’s sleep — the phone rang (and they said), ‘Everyone downstairs, get in taxis to the airport,’” Rita Meyer said.

But with more than 95,000 flights canceled in the last week alone, airlines faced the enormous task of working through the backlog to get passengers where they want to go — a challenge that could take days or even weeks.

Passengers with current tickets were being given priority; those who had been stranded for days were told to either buy a new ticket or take their chances using the old one — a wait that could be days or weeks for the next available seat.

“Once your flight’s canceled, you go to the back of the queue,” said Laurie Price, director of aviation strategy at consultant Mott Macdonald, who was stranded in Halifax, Canada. “It seems intrinsically unfair.”

The volcano that prompted the turmoil continued to rumble. Tremors could be heard and felt as far as 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the crater.

“It’s like a shaking in the belly. People in the area are disturbed by this,” said Kristin Vogfjord, a geologist at the Icelandic Met Office.

Scientists were worried that the eruption could trigger an even larger eruption at the nearby Katla volcano, which sits on the massive Myrdalsjokull icecap. Its last major eruption was in 1918.

“The activity of one volcano sometimes triggers the next one, and Katla has been active together with Eyjafjallajokull in the past,” said Pall Einarsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland.

Volcano experts say that should such an eruption occur, air travelers might expect more disruptions, depending on prevailing winds. Of Iceland’s eight volcanic eruptions in the last 40 years, only the recent one at Eyjafjallajokull was followed by winds blowing southeast toward northern Europe.

While seismic activity at the volcano had increased, the ash plume appeared to be shrinking — though it wasn’t moving very fast.

Sarah Holland of Britain’s Meteorological office said the plume was being held over Britain by a high pressure system that showed no signs of changing.

“The weather patterns are very static at the moment. It’s unusual to have that for such a long period of time,” she said. “Unfortunately, it looks like it’s going to stay that way for the next couple of days, bringing the ash over the U.K.”

Early on Tuesday, a Eurocontrol volcanic ash map listed the airspace between Iceland and Britain and Ireland as a no-fly zone, along with much of the Baltic Sea and surrounding area.

Still, planes were allowed to fly above 20,000 feet (7,000 kilometers) in Britain, and Transport Secretary Andrew Adonis said all British airports would reopen at 5 p.m. EDT (2100GMT).

Dozens of flights departed and arrived Tuesday at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport as the government announced that flights could now be carried out in darkness using instruments. Airports in Switzerland, central Europe and Scandinavia also reopened, and some flights took off from Asia headed for southern Europe, where air travel was not affected by the crisis. Spain piled on extra buses, trains and ferries to handle an expected rush of passengers.

Polish aviation authorities said they planned to reopen the country’s airspace Wednesday morning.

Even the U.S. Air Force was grounded. Capt. Alysia Harvey, the spokeswoman for the U.S. Air Force’s 48th Fighter Wing at Lakenheath, said all sorties had been canceled there since last Thursday. Lakenheath is the largest U.S. air base in England, and the only one in Europe that has an F-15 fighter wing.

“Flying was canceled because it’s difficult to predict exactly where the cloud is going to be or the effect it will have on aircraft engines,” she said.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Britons stranded overseas sought a way home.

Britain’s Foreign Office acknowledged the enormity of the problem, informing Britons abroad that it may take a “matter of weeks before everyone can be repatriated.”

Tom and Natalie Smith and their children Ben and Joanne, from Bristol, found themselves stranded after spending a week on the Costa Brava in Spain.

“We should have returned to work this morning,” Tom Smith said. “Natalie is a diabetic and so that is also a concern as she may run out of medication depending on how long it takes to get back.”

The government advised Britons stranded overseas to remain in close contact with their airline. Those in Europe were told to make their way to the French port of Calais, other Channel ports or a northern European port.

Thousands converged on the coast from across Europe by car, train and bus, evoking memories for some of the evacuation of the British army from Nazi-occupied France through the port of Dunkirk in 1940.

“You could say it is a bit of Dunkirk spirit,” said Stanley Johnson, father of London mayor Boris Johnson, who was among some 800 soldiers and civilians picked up in Spain by a Royal Navy warship, HMS Albion.

The aviation industry — facing losses of more than $1 billion — has sharply criticized European governments’ handling of the disruption that grounded thousands of flights on the continent.

Some carriers were using bigger planes and more flights, while others were hiring buses to help get customers to their destinations.

British Airways, which canceled about 500 flights a day in the past five days, said it was trying to clear its backlog on a case-by-case basis. It said travelers could either rebook online or claim a full refund; it also urged travelers with reservations this week to consider canceling their trips so that it could maximize space to fly stranded people home.

近三次大地震竟然出现惊人巧合

2 月 2 7 日 8.8.智利

横看为512 112 227

竖看为512 112 227

传说中的，横竖都是死?

汶川、海地、智利3次大地震时间上的巧合（512、112、227，后两位分别为12、12、27），使越来越多的人相信玛雅预言的世界末日（2012 12月27日）真的就要到来的思想进一步激化

这是刚才朋友转来的，

看来地球大灾难真的在进程中。。。

现在就珍惜眼前的一切吧~

聯合 國的跨政府氣候變遷專家小組（IPCC）報告指出，人類的活 動，包括土地利用、工業生產、城市化和生活型態，都排放大量溫室氣體（Greenhouse Gas），從而造成地球升溫。
地球升溫人類造成地球升溫的種種因素，超過90%是人類自己造成。
人類 知道溫度上升會毀滅世界，但是，卻依照熱衷追求高排放的經濟成長模式，也習慣於高消耗的生活方式，樂此不疲，不會輕易放棄。
就好 像一缸水裡的青蛙，水的溫度逐漸的升高，青蛙始終無動於衷，甚至愜意無比；直到溫度過了臨界點，它已經跳不出水缸，活活被煮死。
青蛙 沒有意識到水溫上升，所以不會跳出水缸。人類呢？
美國和中國是世界兩大二氧化碳排放量最高的國家，在哥本哈根峰會上，不但 無法攜手合作，反倒是針鋒相對，歸咎對方；在堅持本身利益的同時，要對方作出更大讓步。
哥本 哈根大會沒有讓人類跳出水缸，大國之間相互扯後腿，逼使大家都留在水缸。
一紙“記錄在案”的氣候協議，只是同意減少排放溫室氣體，卻沒有制訂目標，也沒有執行方 案。
窮國 與島國皆大失所望。面對淹沒威脅的太平洋小島圖瓦盧代表說，這是對未來的背叛；非洲蘇丹的代表說，協議是判處非洲死刑，形同大屠殺。
救救我们 的地球！！！
