According to TheStar, the MCA president said that, “people should be critical enough not to accept everything that is reported online as all the information need not necessarily be true.” It is important for people to differentiate the truths, half-truths and what is a complete lie Okay, I will actually go one better than him [...]

Playstation Home, Malaysia

Finally, after all this time, it is here! I don’t really have much to say about it at the moment. I’m still playing around with it. Will update this post soon. Update@2010-09-04: I have played with it for about an hour. I had some fun fiddling around with character customisation and playing dress-up. I even [...]

Merdeka? Rant

Shawn Tan — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:32:06 +0000

Yesterday was the official Merdeka (Independence) Day celebrations for Malaysia. It marks 50-over years of independence from our colonials – the Brits. Unfortunately, I did not feel very merdeka at all – not just in terms of the celebrations but also in personal terms. I just did not feel very happy at all. It could [...]

Ageism and Malaysia

Shawn Tan — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:35:29 +0000

Actually, this is not just applicable in Malaysia but rather, quite applicable throughout much of Asia. I lament on this issue as our nation will continue to bleed talent and brains if we continue to hold on to the age old ‘respect your elders’ mentality. The cause of the trouble is that people here tend [...]

Malaysian Passport

Not too shabby! Some good news from The Economist, seems that our Malaysian passport is pretty powerful in that we can enter quite a lot of countries without requiring a visa. Interesting!

Power Problem

Shawn Tan — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:38:41 +0000

I always seem to find quotes from science fiction that seem to apply fully to our situation at home. I have been reading the Dune Chronicles recently and have found the quality of political intrigue second to none (not even to the various sandiwara at home). The politicians can learn a lot of political strategy [...]

AEMB Benchmarked!

Shawn Tan — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:10:27 +0000

I sometimes wish that people who use my processor would notify me when they publish some useful results. I usually end up randomly stumbling over these results when I google for related information. One such result that I just recently uncovered was a benchmark of the AEMB, which would have proved extremely useful. I have [...]

Mahidol University vs MACC

Shawn Tan — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 01:03:06 +0000

I hope and I pray that we do not embarass ourselves but our government just does not ever fail to do so. I just read an article in TheStar on how the lawyer representing our MACC traded barbs with Dr Pornthip, a world famous pathologist. I can understand the legal tactic of trying to discredit [...]
