As you have know, someone lodged a report against Anwar on the week after some serious issues in the mongolia gal case is being reported. Would the day of national riot coming on our way or it is just a ripple of a wave waiting for another bigger events or movement for Malaysia to change?
Some blog reporting this cases.

Touch 'n Go
From The Star : You can use Touch ’n Go card to buy burgers by next Saturday by Wong Sai Wan.
Motorist Noordalila Paris using her Touch ’n Go card to purchase doughnuts at a Dunkin Donut outlet at a petrol kiosk in Jalan Damansara Friday. From next Saturday, the cards can be used to pay for fast food at 21 outlets in the Klang Valley. - Uu Ban / The Star From me.
I notice one issue that comes around with this card.
If the card is stolen, is there any secured protection to protect the virtual money in this card? It is convenient to use it because we just need to credit the money into the card and swap or tap it at the machine to get the stuff we need. We don't know to bring cash or coins to pay.
If there's no protection, it is the same as using real cash. The danger is still there. You get robbed, and your money is all gone. You thought of putting RM1000 to buy shoes or clothes or just food. In the end, you lost all the money because of the robbery.
KUALA LUMPUR: The next time you go to a fast-food stall for your burger or doughnut, don’t worry if you have forgotten your money as all you need is your Touch ’n Go card.
By next Saturday, you can buy such items from 21 outlets in the Klang Valley under a pilot scheme for the Touch ‘n Go card which is currently a toll, public transport and parking paying device.
The outlets are from A&W, Burger King, Dunkin’ Donut, 7-Eleven, Carrefour hypermarkets, Caltex convenience stores and Cineleisure.

From next Saturday, the cards can be used to pay for fast food at 21 outlets in the Klang Valley. - Uu Ban / The Star According to Touch ’n Go chief operating officer Hasni Zarina Mohamed Khan, this project would be the start of the card being used for retail purchase. Describing it as a natural progression, she pointed out that the card was an electronic purse and supports Bank Negara’s move for a cashless society.
“We have issued 4.5 million cards to date of which 50% are active (used at least once a month).
“At present, the cards are used mainly for toll payment but we hope that by next year, 5% to 10% of the cardholders will use it for retail,” she said in an interview.
She said even for the Octopus card – the transit electronic purse in Hong Kong that is one of the most successful in the world – only 20% of the holders use it for retail purchase.
Touch ‘n Go hopes to increase the number of retail outlets by 20 a month. There could be even more than 150 such outlets throughout the country by year’s end.
She explained that her company had to supply the card readers and backend solutions for the outlets and this took time.
“Consumers need not worry about hidden cost because all the chain stores have an agreement that there will be no extra charges for those using Touch ’n Go cards compared to those using cash. If the item is RM1 then it will still be RM1 if you use our card,” Hasni Zarina added.
Hasni Zarina said cardholders could top up the value of their cards to RM1,000 and need not worry if the cards were lost or stolen.
“All they have to do is to inform us immediately and we can block the card. We can then issue a new card with the remaining value,” she said.
The card could also be a good way of controlling children's spending as this could be their one card from taking public transport to buying their lunch or snacks.

Personal Data Privacy
When we talk about Personal Data, it includes IC number, phone number, address, private sms, private videos, private photos, email address, bank account, password, private conversation and etc...
Refering to this...
Text message snaging: child's play or cloak and dagger
Text Messaging Privacy
This has been a big issue over the world.
In US, Detroit's Mayor Kwarne Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty.
In HK, Edison and his "girl friends".
In Malaysia, our infamous Dr. Chua and Lingam Scandal.
In SG, Tammy NYP.
and many more to come.
Why are those personal data exposed to the public?
There is a lot of answer for this question, you just need to google it.
This post is more to the ways that you can use to protect yourself, or I would say, basic protection against data stealing.
Handphone
1. Always put a password for your handphone (SIM/Memory card or the phone itself).
2. When you want to sell your phone, please do a master reset on your phone. ( This reset don't really clear your physical data or I would call it, deleted data.)
3. When you send your phone to repair, remember to remove SIM and Memory card from your phone. Besides that, always check whether you have left any data in the built-in memory of your phone.
4. Private videos or photos should be kept somewhere else. Not in your handphone.
5. Never allow others to access your phone without your consent.
6. Never send important or private data through mms, sms, or anything that can be kept. Verbal disclosure would be better. Face to face communication will be another choice too.
That's all I can think for Handphone at the moment.
Computer
1. Always use password for your computer. For windows login or accessing private data.
2. Always delete your history in your browser when you don't use it.
3. Clear your recent used document in your windows.
4. There's always ways to recovery deleted data in your hard disk, if it is possible never allow your hard disk be access by others.
5. Never save your password in your computer. When the website ask you whether you wanna save the password, say no. Never ever allow password saving in your browser.
6. Never save your personal data in your computer, burn it out.
7. Always clear your IE data. Sometimes, there's personal info saved in the folder.
8. Always restart the computer and delete anything that is in the cybercafe's computer history, cache, internet files and etc. Above statement is also usable for cybercafe's computer.
Network
1. Always put password for your network ( wifi, local network, wan, lan and etc.. )
2. Never allow unidentity user to access your network.
Email
1. Never ever send private data through email. there's cases where the email was hacked and all the data is leaked out.
2. Never ever save your private data in your email. for example, draft, sent email and etc.
3. Company internet access is always monitored. Do what is suppose to do during work.
Messenger
1. Always clear your history of conversation if possible.
2. Never save your password in the messenger, hacker can access it.
3. When there's a link send to you, please ask your sender about the link.
4. Never click on an unknown link.
5. Exposing your private data on messenger is a big no no. Always remember, you don't know the person behind the nick, check out the movie "Perfect Stranger" and you will know why. Still, normally i just tell them my asl. that's all.
The best way to prevent data being steal, is to think as if you're a spy. A spy that only you yourself know who you are and what you are. totally bourne addicted.
