This design is not as common as the U hook wipers found in Malaysia. And not to mention online vendors keep using the old Persona wipers using the U hook design with 21+19. This means that they are

In Malaysia, digital TV is something we might have heard of and actually using right now in the form of Astro. Other options which are free for the general public are not so much advertised as it is still slow in progress. However, digital TV will replace analogue TV transmissions and we will need to have TVs with DVB-T2 digital tuners or a TV box. Analogue switch-off Analogue TV broadcasts

Journey to the West 2: The Demon Strikes Back also know as Journey to the West 2: Demon Chapter is a movie which is a sequel to 2013's Journey to the West produced by the legendary Stephen Chow. As I have not watched the original, I cannot compare the sequel to it but this movie is directed by Tsui Hark, who directed 'Once Upon A Time In China' , which is actually something to look forward

Yeap. You read the title correctly. Maxis is offering 10 mbps Home Fibre Internet for RM118 per month from now till the end of June with waived installation fees. And also unlimited quota til further notice and from what I've heard, once they implement the quota (100GB upload+download), you will be throttled to 512kbps.  The package also includes a free DECT phone and Wifi modem along

For those of you thinking of wanting to try out a tablet PC but think that the price is too steep (RM1000++ to RM2000++), India has released a cheap alternative at USD 60 (about RM180++). Although the specs and battery life are nothing to shout about, the 32 GB memory seems to be more than what is expected on a tablet at this price point. Th Aakash will be released in stores in India next

Maxis FTTH Broadband packages were not that attractive before due to the quota which they provide for their services but now they have come up with 30Mbps package with 300GB quota per month which seems reasonable enough for that speed(although I'm not so sure about the price=RM398 per month). The good news is that all their packages currently are unlimited until 31 December 2011. Maxis FTTH Now
