Young Malaysian Novelist

Lim May Zhee is not your average self-published author. The 15-year-old talented, resourceful, resilient and mature girl published her first novella entitled Vanitee Bee. This book is about what goes on in a teenager’s mind and life. The picture (left) was taken at a local authors’ gathering at MPH Bookstores in 1Utama, Selangor.

She has her own blog at mayzhee.blogspot.com too. Surprisingly, there is a anti-mayzhee blog too at ihatemayzhee.blogspot.com but people suspect that it's her own creation too.

Morocco moves to drop headscarf

Morocco has made changes to religious education, in particular regarding whether young girls should wear headscarves. A picture of a mother and her daughter wearing headscarves is being removed from the latest editions of a text book. A verse from the Koran that says girls should don veils has already been taken out of the books.
Other Arab countries have made similar changes, worrying that the veil could be used as a symbol of extremism. Across the Arab world the headscarf issue seems to be gathering momentum. In Tunisia for example, young women who wear veils say they have been harassed by the authorities who are forcing the girls to remove their veils at schools and universities.

Younger Arabic women nowadays will wear everything from that long robes to more modern clothes such as trainers, jeans and T-shirts, with nothing on their heads - except perhaps some expensive designer sunglasses. (source: BBC News)

Chevron and Petronas stays in Chad

Referring to my earlier post on 27 Aug 06 that both
Chevron, USA and
Petronas, Malaysia were given the ultimatum to settle some tax liabilities or leave Chad within 24 hours.

Well, both companies have now signed a new agreement rendering the original tax agreement, signed in 2000, as invalid. This sort of invalidation will happen in African countries. They agreed to pay Chad a staggering US$280m (£150m) in overdue taxes.

More of a blackmail kind of situation to me, pay up or leave......might as well pay as investments have been incurred. They will go all out to reap as much profit in years to come to cover such additional taxes.

Malaysia Internet Exchange (Malaysia IX)

The Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik said that with the commissioning of Malaysia's own Internet Exchange, future surfing will be cheaper. The set-up cost will be RM15m only (source: Sun2Surf). If that's the case, why didn't the government build it right from day one or few years back knowing that it could save millions of ringgit. This is a real BIG MISS! The amount is soooooooo small compared to many unnecessary projects for instance, the RM490m Sports Academy in UK.

According to an IT friend of mine, savings won't be much or not at all for the individual users. Next issue my friend said was hopefully the internet services in Malaysia won't be 'down' during the set-up or commissioning of the new Internet Exchange. Just wait and see.
