Facebooker Jailed for Lying in His Profile

A Facebooker, Fouad Mourtada, living in Morocco has been sentenced to 3 years jail for putting up a Facebook profile as if it belongs to Moroccan royal family member, i.e. Prince Moulay Rachid, younger brother of King Mohammed VI.

Hey, I bet that Prince Moulay would have started maintaining 'his' facebook profile that was created by Fouad Mourtada.

Prince Moulay could have requested his elder brother, the King of Morocco to reduce Fouad's jail term provided that Fouad tells him the log in name and password for the facebook profile.

Now, is your facebook profile reflecting your personal stuff or impersonating someone else? His case was related to "alleged theft of the identity".

Known Moroccan bloggers did something which I was proud of, they suspended their blogging entries for 24 hours in protest. Well done Moroccan bloggers!

As for my Facebook profile, it's basically about me of course. I'm quite lazy in maintaining it. Will respond if someone added me as a friend or received a message. Whoever sends me those poke me here and there or those buy/sell a friend or any other software applications, I would usually ignore it. Maintaining it just to keep contacts with some friends (from primary/secondary schools) besides my church members / office colleagues / bloggers.

Beijing Opens World's Largest Airport

Beijing, China has opened up its latest airport wing, Terminal 3, at its existing airport to the world aviation today.

The Terminal 3 received its first commercial flight from a local destination.

The size of this Terminal 3 alone is bigger than London's Heathrow Airport's 5 terminals being put together. Its length is 3 kilometres. With the operation of this new terminal, it's supposed to serve 85 million passengers.

This new terminal accommodates 64 restaurants and 90 shops.

The airport management, Beijing Capital International Co. Ltd., will require lots of cleaners just to maintain cleanliness.

Most Oldest People on Earth

When I tried to trace the country where it has the most oldest people, I did a search on Japan first and they were known for having the oldest living person at any one time. There would surely be one or two Japanese that is above 100 years old now. It's very rare indeed to locate such old citizens.

Human life span has shortened so much compared to those humans living during the Old Testament time as mentioned in the Bible. Methuselah was the oldest guy that lived for 969 years.

But then a particular country has surprised the world with their citizens' ages. Which one? Who else but my country, Malaysia.

In trying to get foreigners to adopt Malaysia as their second home destination under the Malaysia My Second Home Programme, part of the marketing strategy was to promote the long life span. Malaysia's lifestyle / environment has cultivated a group of senior citizens living beyond the average human life span.

If there were only a few then it could be pure luck but when you have more than 50 of them in one country then it's totally something to look at. Not only that, this group of Malaysian senior citizens won't be just sitting at home and hoping that they would be able to live one more day.

This group of Malaysian senior citizens of more than a century old and were born before 1900 would also be making their way to the polling centres around Malaysia on 8 March 2008 for the 12th General Election. Wow!!!!!

Don't believe ah????

Wikipedia has compiled a list of Oldest living people and Oldest people ever (115+). Comparing the Wikipedia's records and Malaysia's oldest man who is still alive and kicking at 127 years old, living in Taman Dato' Harun area and would be voting as well, the Malaysian has broken all World Guinness of Records.

Not only that, the next challenger who could break his record would come from Malaysia too. How do you verify that? Just key in the Identity Card numbers into Election Commission's website. Click here to see another 30 identity card numbers submitted in my blog's comment section by an anonymous person.

Found more of such senior citizens as mentioned in a political party's website. There are so many of such senior citizens. Malaysia must have good social welfare planning in anticipation of more senior citizens from now onwards. This is totally out of the world.

Re-Designed Face Mask

During the bird flu scare period few years back, people throughout the world do wear face mask to protect them from catching the bird flu virus in the open air.

Seeing that summer period will be around the corner, bird flu virus may be in the news again. The fashion gurus are quite concious with such issues and thus, they came out with such designs for health concious people.

Totally protected round their face.

The eyes could still view where you are heading to and avoid banging yourself into free standing poles.

How considerate are the fashion gurus / designers.

Police Protection at the Public's Expense

When I blogged about the Special Police Protection for the Rich Hongkies, one thing struck my mind. What if it was a common citizen that was caught in the sex rendezvous with all those beauties instead. Would he get such special police treatment?

As for Edison Chen, he got it. Upon completion of the press conference, his departure from the Hong Kong International Trade & Exhibition Centre (HITEC) took quiet some time as reporters jammed up the whole exit.

I'm sure the special police treatment accorded by the Hong Kong police was at the expense of public fund. So, you Hongkies (or Hong Kongers???) living in Hong Kong - part of your tax money went towards the provision of security for Edison Chen, a person who doesn't stay in Hong Kong most of the time.

Can you believe that this guy even received a police motorcycles escort from HITEC back to his residence.

Treatments reserved for superstar differs from common citizens like you and me?
