New Streamyx Data Rate -> Dial-Up?



龟速的网速,我们的唯一的DSL网络供应商连
最基本的1Mbps窄频(6Mpbs才勉强算是宽频)都做不好。
又还指望什么推动资讯工艺科技发展呢?

无线上网,危害健康?

槟岛是马来西亚有名的电子城,它也是槟岛人的骄傲,
槟岛距离国都吉隆坡虽有数百公里之遥,
但是,它的发展不输给吉隆坡,
其生活水平甚至与吉隆坡旗鼓相当。

网络覆盖率是资讯工艺科技业发展的重要推力。
(韩国超过60%的宽频覆盖率)
推动资讯工艺科技发展的另一项障碍是,
公众对通讯科技的运用仍普遍存有迷思。



关于槟城要装无线上网, 不是一件坏事。
人民在那里抗议,人民认为电波覆盖整个槟城,
会危害槟城人民的健康。

事实是什么呢?会危害健康吗?没有人知道, 没有人敢保证。

EPF 8% 的真相?

假设 薪水RM4000,

- 选择 EPF 11%也就是RM440,taxable income 是RM3560,
所以tax RM77
- 选择 EPF 8%也就是RM320, taxable income 是RM3680,
所以tax RM109

政府揾我们笨!

Conclusion : If you choose to contribute 8%,
you will end up paying more income tax to the government,
which will make the government richer.

Finance Minister said this measure is meant to boost up
the slow-down market, but from this example wee
see that the money does not go into the market.

Instead the money goes direct into the government's pocket
through the greater amount of income tax that we will have
to pay. Obviously this measure does not help the market
at all.

Do we still want this kind of government that doesn't have
the best interest of the people in mind?
