MM: What has hindered the EC from implementing cleaning the electoral roll, reforming postal balloting, use of indelible ink, and minimum 21 days campaigning period? EC Deputy Chairman:  .... With regards to indelible ink, it is used among countries which have no identification system, such as Africa and India. They have not reached our level yet. We only have 12 million voters.

From Ulu Gombak traverse 22/5/11 Me, Jazlan and Johan had a ride in RRI apparently Ulu Gombak traverse popped-up.  Me & Jazlan wanted to pay a tribute to Kelolo since he rode with us (me, Jazlan and Megat Faiz) in 2008 but had to turned back since we can't get thru those bamboo bushes.  Subsequent ride on 20/4/2008 with Joe Adnan managed to complete the loop via new track (no write-up, just

Been a while I spent a good MTB ride.  FRIM is good but lack of distance.  RRI is just nice for me, a little more distance (26km) and a roller coaster to enjoy not forgetting the fall I had during this ride (pix below).. and those other falls: - 1. First endo (2007) 2. Elbow punched my ribs (2008) 3. Scuffed my ankle (2010) From RRI on BASH route It was a nice ride, lead by Jazlany.  We

The original audio set that came with the car was with MP3 decoder.  It plays MP3 files on CD until one fine day, the CD stuck and refuse to come out.  I was longing for headunit that takes flash drive over USB but the price wasn't within my budget.  Alternatively, I looked for headunit that has Auxiliary input (this input takes typical 3.5mm audio jack) and I found 1 dirt cheap model by Sony.

I never imagine myself as a BlackBerry user. Never crossed my mind to own it (especially with my own money).  It was for a reason which I strongly believed that without that 'integration server', the BlackBerry won't be a 'smart' after all. I didn't even bother to dig further on it's capabilities over other smartphone until some of us in the company was issued with BlackBerry Curve 3G (BB 9300).

Dari ceramah Ustaz Kazim Elias bertajuk Nabi Ibrahim Berhujah Dengan Namrud Sembilan Cara Mendapat Ketenangan: - 1. beriman 2. berserah bulat-bulat kepada Tuhannya (tawwakal) 3. menjauhi dosa-dosa besar dan menjauhi perbuatan-perbuatan yang keji 4. apabila mereka marah (disebabkan perbuatan yang tidak patut terhadap mereka), mereka memaafkannya 5. menyahut dan menyambut perintah Tuhannya 6.

Politicians and journalists just love to write about the oppression of women in Islam ... without even talking to the females beneath the veil. They simply have no idea how Muslim women are protected and respected within the Islamic framework which was built more than 1400 years ago. Yet, by writing about cultural issues like child brides, female circumcision, honor killings and forced marriages

While waiting for the car going through the regular 10,000km interval service, I took out my company issued notebook and resume my work from where I left it moment before that. With weekly subscription of mobile broadband, I do teethering from my notebook. When space was limited, some little thing become a concern, like how or where to put the phone.

The last time I tried, I only managed half the way there and we turned back.  This time around I want to give it a try. We started at about 9:00am.  We passed through numerous paddy fields and palm oil plantations.  It was enjoyable ride until I started to feel

Time is short, at least for me.  I want to stick to training on weekdays in order to improve fitness but time always not on my side.  To cycle outdoor, I need to dress up in jersey, water bottle filled, bring along wallet, mobile phone, pump & spare tube and not to forget, put on helmet.  Night riding requires blinkers and bright color attire as preventive measure for other people to see you

Baru-baru ni aku terbaca di Harian Metro tentang pelajar sekolah agama yang menjaja kismis di Kuala Lumpur. Nah.. Ini baru aku katakan berita dalam ertikata sebenarnya.  Peranan suratkhabar melaporkan berita, bukannya membuat ulasan terhadap berita dan diletak di muka depan dan dipanggil berita.  Di dalam berita ini, ia mengutarakan isu dan mendapatkan pandangan dari pihak pelajar dan Jabatan

Geotagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to various media such as photographs, video, websites, or RSS feeds and is a form of geospatial metadata. These data usually consist of latitude and longitude coordinates, though they can also include altitude, bearing, distance, accuracy data, and place names. It is commonly used for photographs, giving geotagged

Shogun was green and pretty much in original form here.  I was like lalang, within 2 years from the day I bought this frame, it had been single speed with MTB wheelset, single speed with 27" wheelset, and 9 speed touring. At one point of time, I even was contemplating to sell this frame for merely RM100.  Thanks for an insulting offer of RM50 from a bidder made me change my mind and keep it for

After many months of contemplating either to sell or keep it, the frame has a new owner. I bought the frame from Big Mac in 2008. From a full fledge MTB, to commuter, then single speed, and finally 7-speed rigid MTB.

I dropped by Juara Bikes in Subang Perdana for a tube few weeks ago and ended up with Universal Tag-A-Long trailer bike.  It was rather impromptu decision to buy it but I hold no regret.  At RM100 for a used item like that, it was a real bargain.  Comparatively, check out this online offer from Universal Cycles.

This is my third day RTW (Rides To Work, a term coined by Akmal or maybe BC. Damn, am I that old to recall this?) for this week. I locked my bike to a pole only to realize that it was securely locked but not to a pole! This wasn't the first time and in 1 different occasions, I left the key on the bike.Sigh... I am getting older and become more forgetful.

From SS Spesh photoshootAfter selling many Spesh's parts to a friend for building her bike, Spesh was left idle and collecting dust. My initial intention was to sell it off, but after much consideration I decided to make a second attempt to SingleSpeed it. There was another attempt on singlespeed Shogun which ended me with hard fall and a broken helmet. There are 2 most important element of

Where did I get this spoilt hub?I bought front wheelset from Mr Beskal for a darn cheap price. He warned me that the hub need replacement and I may just end up able to make use of the rim and spokes only. Truth been told, the right side cartridge bearing has some freeplay.How did I reached "the point of no return"?I did some reading on the Net to get some idea on how to remove the bearing on

I read on Ride of Silence from Fakawi Tribe a day earlier. The Ride Of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There is no brochure, no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during Bike Safety month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to

Apparently, my Shogun is back, hitting the road. I put it to rest for a month after I sold it's 27" wheelset due to issue with "chain line" on single speed.Long story short, an offer made by Mr Beskal on his XT shifter and RD left me with surplus Deore RD and shifter from Spesh. Fitted Shogun with read shifter & Deore RD, with a little tweak on Hi & Lo settings on the RD, I run it on 5 speeds

Traction can work for you or against you. This is a good example for “more is not always better”. In mountainbiking, tire traction is a key element of a good riding. Traction is about putting resistant to free spinning wheel (imagine slick tire on muddy trail). The amount of traction that you really need is just merely by being able to put on resistant to the ground, thus enable you to

Most of us do not have an upper hand in term of spending scarce ringgit into bicycle since there are other priorities on the plate.

For first time ever, I participated in a MTB race. Not kinna race that has media coverage, neither monetary return for securing top position.
