The AES and fatal Kedah crash

By Cikgu Fonik



Recent horrid car crash in Kedah shocks the nation, the crash leaves four deaths on the spot and one seriously injured.

Ironically, they're alive and kicking on the way to see their ill relative at the hospital, now the ill at the hospital is still alive and the one whose going to visit them died tragically.

In fighting fatal crashes the government has introduced the Automatic Enforcement System or prominently known as AES, it is a system that records automatically on camera, traffic offends such as speeding and rule breaking.

In the first phase, the system will be setup in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Perak aiming at highly risked road where accident occurred the most.

The region where the system was installed will be mark with sign board to tip off the road user so they wouldn't be penalized but the utmost importantly is their safety as the region they're in is marked accident frequent.

Overall the system is aiming to educate the public rather than to punish them since various campaign and enforcement doesn't work to reduce road offends.

However, AES received an outcry throughout the nation as they claimed this system is trying to rob the rakyat's money? How true the claimed were is beyond me.

For those who oppose because they're among the rule breaker, the mat rempits and speeder, may they lost their love one in a horrid crash.

But I recently read this AES is more than meets the eye, it's a fork system of making profit in disguise of road safety campaign?

The evidence is, it was privatized to concession companies, if the government is sincere to educate than it shouldn't be privatize, hence, when privatize it is a public education no more rather than money making machine like PLUS and the like and syabas.

It is said that PLUS and the like are making millions everyday in profit, more than enough to maintain the road and pay their staff, instead toll charges continue to hike every year, for reasons God knows why.

However removing all tolls to me is unnecessary, we should keep some tolls with minimum charge particularly the north east highway for maintenance and convenience costs, whilst all tolls inside a city should be removed completely.

In Penang, toll Sg Nyior has been made famous in GE 2008 when a certain someone promise to remove it once winning, but until this very moment it is still standing, instead of walking the talk a signboard of diversion was build near it to parade the good deeds the state government did EXCEPT removing the toll.

Time Travel in the Quran?

By Cikgu Fonik

The cave of Ashabul Kahfi Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time. Time travel could hypothetically involve moving backward in time to a moment earlier than the starting point, or forward to the future of that point without the need for the traveler to experience the intervening period (at least not at the normal rate). Any technological device – whether fictional or hypothetical – that would be used to achieve time travel is commonly known as a time machine. There are no record in the holy Quran or tradition of the prophet (pbuh) of time travel back in time. However there is a tiding in the holy Quran of traveling forward to the future. Allah told the prophet (pbuh) in surah al kahfi 9-26 about a group of young men in an effort of preserving their monotheism  and a dog that took refugee in a cave from a tyrant infidel king (also acknowledge by the Jews and Christian). The asbab un Nuzul (occasion of revelation) of the...

How to set up a Sharp Aquos with Astro

By Cikgu Fonik

Am I the only one having difficulties connecting asstro to an LED tv? My 2 years old JVC TV broke down suddenly today, so I bought a new one. I went to giant and had my eyes on a 32" one of the sharp line worth RM8++ , the cheapest one among the branded on display. Unfortunately, it is out of stock, so I went to next best thing, a 32" Aquos from the same line. As we got home, I was very excited and start unwrapping and begun setting it up immediately, and again unfortunately, it won't work with asstro, it doesn't display any pictures except that thousand dots. So I connected it to a plain AV antenna and manage to receive one channel only, TV3. (That is why in rural area asstro is a necessity because normal antenna could only captures weak signal, if we get TV1 that's a blessing because we got two channel to enjoy!). Frustrated I called asstro but unfortunately again to no avail, the nice lady with asstro said they can only do their ...

Harga ayam vs harga ikan

Pagi jumaat lepas, aku ikut mak aku ke pasar. Nak beli ayam dan ikan kata mak aku. Bukan aku nak ikut tapi sebab aku seorang je kat rumah time tu, jadi kena la pergi hehehe. Sampai kat pasar mak aku terus pergi kat orang jual daging ayam. "Sekilo RM 5.00" ditulis dan diletakan kat tepi penimbang. Bagi aku murah jugak la harga tu. Mak aku beli dua ekor. Memang dah perangai mak aku kalau beli ayam mesti dia beli banyak lepas tu simpan dalam peti sejuk. Dah beli ayam, mak aku pergi pula kat tempat jual ikan. "Berapa sekilo ni?" tanya mak aku kat salah seorang penjual ikan. "Ikan Aya ni RM 10.00 sekilo" kata penjual ikan tu. Mahalnya kata aku dalam hati. Ikan Aya ni hanya di guna di negeri Kelantan dan Terengganu saja. Kat tempat lain orang panggil Ikan Tongkol. Mak aku tak jadi beli, dia terus bertanya kat beberapa peniaga ikan lagi sampai la dapat dengan harga RM 8.00 sekilo. Aku tengok bukan ikan tu je yang mahal, semua ikan kat situ semua mahal. Baru aku t...
