Malaysiakini published an extensive interview with Selangor Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, on Saturday. Among some of the areas covered in the interview are: The developments on the relocation of RM 9.9 million by BALKIS The tabling of an enactment to strengthen the state anti-corruption watchdog, the Selangor Select Committee on Competence, Accountability and Transparency (SELCAT) The [...]

I’ll be taking a few days away to rest and perhaps reflect. I’ll be back before month’s end. Hopefully I’d have some of my stuff worked out before it stuffs me up. Wish me luck and for those so inclined, do remember me and my family in your prayers. Shalom Aleikhem.

I just received this in the e-mail and felt it ought to be shared .. Berdoalah Untuk Bayi Elijah Samuel Ingin saya meminta budi baik anda untuk berdoa bagi bayi Elijah Samuel. Bayi Elijah Samuel telah dimasukkan ke dalam hospital dan ini bukanlah kali pertama. Bayi Elijah Samuel menghidap jangkitan paru-paru di mana adanya cecair di dalam [...]

My dad passed away almost a year ago and I will be joining my family this weekend to commemorate the first anniversary of his passing. In a sense, I am still very surprised at how I reacted to his death and I don’t think the grieving process even began for me. This might explain why [...]

Just a brief thought .. So how do we refer to ourselves as a Church who’s primary influencer was adamantly opposed to having it named after himself?

Dalam sebuah cerpen [...]

I’ve been in kind of a self imposed “exile” over the last few weeks, having spent most of my waking hours poring through PHP codes and *nix command lines. I finally could drag myself off the hot seat and go grab a leisurely breakfast this morning and catch up on the news. I was shocked [...]

The blog, that is. I’ve finally completed the migration and the commenting problems should be solved. Hopefully I did not miss out anything during the migration. As the blog is now running on Wordpress, all the permalinks have changed and there’s no way of retaining the previous link structure as Movable Type and Wordpress have [...]

I am playing this in the background as I am getting my work done this afternoon .. Not a bad accompaniment since this is National Bible Month after all. And basically Jeffry S. Tjandra, Franky Sihombing, and Wawan Yap are the only Christian artistes that perform in Malay / Indonesian that I actually have albums of. [...]

I was recently asked by a friend of mine to work on a proposal to set up their website and one of the elements I was to include is a tool that would facilitate real time discussion and the sharing of tools and resources as well as training tools. Having been involved in some level [...]
