Blackberry banned in Malaysia?

Will it happen?? 

There are estimated 1.5millions blackberry user in Malaysia...

After the starting of banning blackberry in India, Saudi Arab & UAE, will Malaysia join in too??

Why is Blackberry banned in those country??

Because it are highly secured & encrypted...

And are considering as a threat to the country because there are no way to intercept the communication that going on in Blackberry smartphone... 

If there are terrorist in the country using it on planning next massive attack, and sure it will 100% on it's track because no government agencies are able to decrypt the data...

This is a headache for government and cause national security to alarm..

  

Blackberry - How to not get ban?

RIM, the manufacturer of Blackberry, should any how allow minimum intercept on it Blackberry by most of the government agencies...

Possible??

May be to set up a center in every Blackberry user country to decrypt the data for the government...

Will it work??

Indonesia also ban Blackberry

But is not about the security issue..

It's about pornographic content..

They demand RIM to block and filter the adult content, if not doing so they will banning the Blackberry for violating the country anti-pornographic law...

How about Blackberry in Malaysia??

Hmm.. 

Good news as there will be no Blackberry ban in Malaysia.. As the government itself also relying on the Blackberry services...

When to replace 12v car battery

Here are some tips on knowing when to exchange an old car battery with a new one:

1. Battery Lifespan - Car battery in Malaysia usually last for 2-3years, although some can last for up to 4-5years... So better to change the battery every 2 years to prevent any failure on startup your car during your journey...

2. Cold Weather - Weak battery normally cannot start smoothly, usually need to start a fews times..

3. Voltage less than 12v - Test your car battery with a multimeter(voltmeter)....

Here are the normal voltage for a working condition car 12 battery :

Idle : 12.6V-12.8v

After startup : 14v -15v

Check your battery by using a multimeter(will normally cost you RM20-25 for the multimeter) :

State of charging:

12.6-12.8v - 100% charged

12.5v - 75%

12.2v - 50%

12.05v - 25%

less than 12v - 0%

Why you need to check with multimeter??

Sometimes is not the battery that need to be replace, sometimes is the alternator that fail to charge the battery when your car is running...

4. Clicking sound & Cranking sound when startup - Indicate that your car battery almost reach it lifetime usage..

5. Battery casing damage - Due to leaking acid...


6. Ignition startup delay - Turn your key then suddenly feel like need 2 seconds to start... May be is the battery, if not will be the starter... (This works for me)

There are also at least 2 type of car battery - lead acid type & another is maintenance free type..

If you are a person who less caring of your car battery, better go for maintenance free type... But if you prefer cheaper one, then lead acid type would be your choice...

Finally, i think almost all car driver need to spare themselves with a set of jumper cable in case emergency...

Sir Francis Light

Captain Francis Light (1740 – 25 October 1794)

 Was the founder of the British colony of Penang (in modern-day Malaysia) and its capital George Town in 1786.

He was baptised in Dallinghoo, Suffolk, England on 15 December 1740. His mother was given as Mary Light, though his father preferred to remain anonymous. He was taken in by a relative, the nobleman William Negus, and educated in elementary school with the Negus children: but was apprenticed early to a Naval Surgeon. It was initially thought that Light was illegitimate son of William Negus, but according to Noël Francis Light Purdon, the 6-times great-grandson of Francis Light, Negus was paid to look after him and be his guardian throughout his schooling. He served as a Royal Navy midshipman from 1759 to 1763, but went out to seek his fortune in the colonies. From 1765, he worked as a private country trader. For about ten years he had his headquarters in Salang, Thailand, near Phuket, reviving a failed French trading post. While living there he learned to speak and write several languages, including Malay and Siamese. In 1785, he warned the Thais on Phuket Island of an imminent Burmese attack. Light's warning enabled the islanders to prepare for Phuket's defence and subsequently repel the Burmese invasion. For the British East India Company, he leased the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah, where many others had failed, and was supposedly given the Princess of Kedah as a reward (other sources state that the Princess was sent to covet Light's aid on behalf of the Sultan). The multicultural colony of Penang became extraordinarily successful from its inception and Light served as the Superintendent of the colony until his death.

Light died from malaria on 21 October 1794 and was buried at the Protestant Cemetery on Northam Road (now Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah) in George Town. A statue which bears his name but has the facial features of his son William stands at Fort Cornwallis in George Town.

Light had four daughters and two sons with Martina Rozells, who was said to be of Portuguese and Siamese lineage. Martina is occasionally referred to in the literature as the Princess of Kedah, as above. If they were legally married, he did not declare it. However, it was against East India Company rules to marry a Catholic and, as Martina was Catholic, Light may have tried to avoid dismissal by never declaring his marriage. He did leave her his considerable property. Their son, Colonel William Light, was the founder of Adelaide in Australia.
