Why Donate?

26 05 2008

In MyPaper today…

Consider these facts:

1) China has US$15 trillion in reserve.

2) China has enough funds to allocate US$11 billion to rebuild the houses and etc for the earthquake victims.

3) China also has donated US$15 million to Myanmar.

So why are we donating to China instead of Myanmar???

Some rich M’sians own 700 cars each. Me? = 0

22 04 2008

ABOUT 30 rich men in the country own between 100 and 700 cars each, reported China Press.

Quoting sources from the Road Transport Department (JPJ), the daily reported that these men registered the vehicles under their names for collection purposes.

One of the sources believes the owners had bought the cars to avoid paying income tax. Most of these cars were not used as some owners did not even renew their road tax.

He also questioned the roadworthiness of such cars since most of them seldom appeared on the road.

Of the 10 million registered car owners in the country, one-third of them owned more than one car, based on JPJ statistics for the first quarter of the year.

Some 78,000 drivers possess five cars each while another 1,589 drivers own 10 cars each.

ICQ, remember??

19 03 2008

Everyone remembers ICQ, the first widely-used instant messaging application that’s all but dead in most of the world now. The Israeli software company that developed the suite before it was purchased by AOL has just partnered with a big Israeli pharmacy company called CTS to release this ICQ toothpaste, which our tipster claims will “help P2P communication (person to person) while reducing bad breath.” Weird, yet really really cool…
