Interviewer said "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!"

The boy thought for a while and said, "my choice is one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this. "What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's the DAY sir!" "How" the interviewer asked, "Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!" He was selected for IIM!

Disappointed with McDonalds Malaysia

Received this pamphlet that was inserted into The Sun newspapers. Everyone in Kuala Lumpur / Petaling Jaya would have seen this today.

A colleague of mine disagreed with this advertising method employed by McDonalds saying that it has no respect for Malaysia who would be having its election day on coming 8 March.

I said that they took the opportunity and was an advertisiing gimmick. This would capture the Malaysians' eyes easily since we were in the midst of an election fever now. But upon seeing it properly, I was so shocked with this advertisement.

It was well understood that the voting requirement in Malaysia was to mark the ballot paper with a big X for the election candidate that you wanted to vote for but McDonalds chose to display this misinformed advertisement that is totally in contrast with what is required of a voter. Bearing in mind that first time voters or those illiterate citizens would be disillusioned by this advertisement.

Please, McDonalds Malaysia or Golden Arches Restaurants Sdn Bhd (license holder), make it right and apologise to the public for such an advertisement that was done soooooooooooo close to the election date. Will somebody tell them to rectify the situation. Only if McDonalds USA's Corporate Social Responsibility is being practised by McDonalds Malaysia.

This ridiculous advertisement would make all efforts put in by the Election Commission and local political parties in educating the Malaysian citizens to vote / mark correctly redundant / useless /futile (you name it!).

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo, this is no joke at all!

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.

Graphic image of the Terminal 3. Designed by a renowned architect, Norman Foster.

This new terminal accommodates 64 restaurants and 90 shops.

Internal view of the check-in counters.
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.
