Infernal Ramblings
A Malaysian Perspective on Politics, Society and Economics

Revamping This Site

You've probably noticed I haven't been updating the site regularly any more. It's not that I don't have anything to say, but that I never have the time to put in bytes what I'm thinking (mainly because a certain telephone monopoly isn't interested in delivering service on time). I write on the spur of the moment, so when I don't have a particular inspiration, there's no point in writing (from my perspective). And most of the time when I am spurred to write...I don't have a phone line, so...

As you can see, I've slacked off doing much work on all this. I can (emptily?) promise you that this is going to change once I get a phone line (which does not equate to "soon"). What changes can you expect?

  1. Some bugfixes. I've already said this site is in beta, so you can't expect much for now.
  2. Minor redesign. The colours on this site are, to be honest, ugly.
  3. Better documentation of this site's features.
  4. An actual purpose for this site.


Until then, you can hang out at the forums. It's a really nice place. Honest. And you really should register and post there, too. It only takes a few minutes, and I don't ask any silly questions.

We all know the political scene in Malaysia has been topsy-turvy for the past few months, what with the AP scandal, Hishamuddin's waving of the keris at the UMNO AGM, Nazri's outburst in Parliament, etc. How do you think Pak Lah, our PM, is handling this? Has he been doing the best he can to cope with these problems? If he's serious about the anti-graft drive, why hasn't Rafidah been sacked yet? What about that frivolous Malaysian space programme? Why hasn't it been put on the back-burner in favour of, oh, getting the only fixed line phone provider and broadband monopoly in Malaysia to provide decent service?

I want to believe Pak Lah can do it, but right now I'm just not very confident in him. I'm adopting a "wait and see" attitude, but right now, I have to admit, he isn't coping very well. If he had Mahathir's iron will, I'd expect to have seen a lot more change than the little bits here and there we've gotten from Pak Lah.
