UMNO in the cyber world

Salam all~

It had been quite a while since I last write about this prominent party in Malaysia. Needless to say, it needs no introduction. There is no doubt what they had done to the history of the country, be it good or bad, I must say, personally I have a very high respect to the party. That is only my personal view; one may or may not agree with me out of 1001 reasons. However, some chain of events that happened lately triggered me to pen down my thoughts on the party, about being in the cyber world.

Honestly, I do not know where to start. A quotation from ‘Tunggu Apa Lagi’ by Nobisha might be a good point to ponder especially for those who are really excited to be in the social media, “Di dalam media sosial, menteri dan aktivis NGO menjadi setaraf. Apa yang membezakan mereka ialah kekuatan ilmu dan hujah”. In short,how you converse your thoughts in this medium, speaks a lot about you. Putting UMNO as a subject, what the leaders, members and supporters thoughts published reflect A LOT on the party.

This is nothing personal, only my observations. NOT ALL, but SOME of the UMNO members on the cyber world can get overly excited to react over an issue. Be it court case, political dispute or current issues, there are certainly no problems on being current. However, during the death of the Hulu Selangor MP two days ago was in news, a worrying stream of FB status updates, updated by SOME. There was no grief period given, you do not need a week, but at least give it till the body is buried, as a sign of respect. Slogan of readiness to go for the by-election war started to stream status and comments. Oh well, we ,the readers, know, or at least I know all of you are VERY dedicated to the party that you would want to contribute for the coming by-election. Everyone knows it is coming, you know it is coming but it will not cost you much to be compassionate for awhile, just a grief period to mourn. It might not be your family member or party member, but please, it is still another human lost that we are regarding about. It is a lost of a husband, father and a grandfather. Is it too hard to ask? Just to show some sympathy...? hmm...

That is just a simple recent case but I feel, there are many more weaknesses that can be improved in the cyber world. Here are some points that I wish to share:

1. Defensive

- Sad to say, that there are SOME of the party members are very prone to play the defensive card.

- Why be too defensive? Can’t we actually discuss issues properly?

- Even worst, SOME even thought they are the know-it-all and Mr i-am-the-only-one-who-is-very-spirited-with-perjuangan-UMNO. Oh, thanks...those are the super annoying ones.

- Do SOME of those realise that they are shooing people away..? I don’t think so ;) So why not, stop using the defensive card. J

Outlook

- Look at the language and image that you carry. ‘Bahasa jiwa bangsa’. Why dare calling yourself a ‘pejuang bangsa’ when you cannot even portray a good ‘budi bahasa’. Statement as simple as FB status could help to explain my point.

- You want to character assassinate your opponent (though it is the dinosaur era politics), fine but please, mind your language! Don’t swear, don’t name call, it does not make you sound any better! Honestly, it is very immature.

- Learn and show respects. “Respect is earned and never through fear”. Nothing to fear about the party, maybe that is why some people can be very disrespectful towards it.

3. Language

- Again I am touching on language. The usage of language. There is a strong need to actually converse well in both BM and English. Why? From my observation, lack of proficiency in English will actually cause a communication breakdown. I had seen this happened so many times online. Not that SOME party leaders and members did not have enough knowledge to rebut an issue, BUT the language barrier made it hard to for the receiver to comprehend. Thus, will cause misinformation, lack of interest, worst still, the feeling of how out-dated SOME active members could be. One must be able to reach out well to the audience in both languages. J

4. Gratitude

- Maybe it is about time, SOME, sit down and just think how much they can actually stand the criticisms and attacks and how to actually handle praises by the potential voters out there. Personally, comments and feedbacks are supposed to be respected, especially the ones that are intended for the betterment, praises and well wishes. Again, SOME ignored the little voices. A little word of ‘thank you’, ’noted’ or at least ‘TQ’ seemed so hard to be expressed by SOME.

- Simple equation is that, how do you expect people to actually appreciate your efforts, struggle and what-ever-what-not when you cannot even learn to appreciate others? It had not been a balance equation, so why bother thinking why a lot do not seem to appreciate the government...?

- To SOME, haven’t you all heard of “What you give, you’ll get back”??

5. Togetherness

- This is the ugliest view to look on. I do not need to elaborate more but all I have to say is that, no matter how bad the inner politicking is going on , please.... please... at least APPEAR to be together. It is ugly to look at members are fighting among each other.

- Another note is that, no matter how much you cannot agree with your other, especially elder party members, DO NOT bitch on social media. That will make a perfect example of a B*TCH! Even if you are a guy :P hahaha

If you happened to be a party member, reading this post.. I wish that you are not within the SOME that I am highlighting. If you somehow feel that you are among the SOME, you might not turn to try and change everything from the beginning.. BUT you can always change now and create another ending ;)

“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap” – Napoleon

It may be or may not be true... but exposing it, can be a real handicap and believe me, I strongly feel that people out there are smart enough to judge ;) Read more, debate and discuss better... I am very sure UMNO can make a class of its own, that little minds will not be able to manipulate and take the strength of the party away~ oh, that will be classic! It is time tp carry the emblem on chest well and carry on the efforts of our forefathers J

Just my 2 cents~

HSBB babeyh!!

Salam all~

To start with..
I'm not voicing on behalf of TM, or anything. Just want to share my thoughts on it...

True, ppl reacted on the capping.. I even read some blog post on comparing prices and stating disagreement about the capping of download.

Among the blogs I came across, one actually made a comparison on unifi package n bband package in russia with no capping. the author didn't note that russia's package doesn't include iptv.

Another interesting re-tweeted even said that it's like giving a highway with a kampung road specs. wow. That's how much people can actually react into things..

From my point of view, I think.. The only reason why they introduce the capping is solely because they wanted to maintain the network performance.

The connection will work well as long as it does not reach more than 80% of your link bandwidth. high utilisation will cause your connection to slow down. thus, will trigger the expected response, "why is my Unifi connection is slow??". The simple logical reason,is because it's highly utilised.

Pls take note, ur Unifi package comes with IPTV, a constant video traffic that will accommodate ur bandwidth. hence, I ASSUME that, one of the fair reason why the capping was introduce is to make sure that the customer's line will connect n work at its best :)

**So, back on the hway with 'kampung' road specs analogy. highway here is ur fiber that is connected to ur home.

1. U can't be having a 10 lanes highway as u like, thus how wide is the highway is actually the bandwidth that u subscribe for.
2. Supposed u have a 3 lanes highway. It may look reasonable, but..ur video data (IPTV)will be taking up one of your lanes.thus, ur left with 2 lanes wide to use.
3.When left with 2 lanes wide, of course there's a limit for the number of traffic to be fit in the 2 lanes. hence, to maintain the best connection, is best to know your limit of using those 2 lanes to ensure a smooth flowing traffic :). You wouldn't want a traffic jam on a highway right?! ;)

Oh well, let's go to LDP toll during rush hour..and close half of the toll gates. It'll b a massive jam! ;) even worse, close a lane on MRR2! Let's see the fun! Yeay! ;)
No cars can actually move more than 30km/h. that's when an empty narrow kampung road will be nicer to drive on~ ;)

So now that the capping is off, I hope more will actually subscribe to it. IF that's the main reason hampering one to turn away fr Unifi. The pricing, well..it's committed information rate, babeyh~ That's what u asked for ;)

HSBB is a project that is intended to benefit us..and it is not an easy project to carry out. a lot of hard works and time poured into this. give it a chance, give it a try. for those fortunates 4 areas, I'm pretty sure it's gonna change your daily life in one way or another :)

For all new things,there's always room for improvements. we just have to be positive and supportive of it.looking on the brigther side, we should be grateful that,there are actions taken into improving network connections in Malaysia. Have fun wit the new connection ! :)

Just my 2 cents,
