How to adjust mirrors correctly to eliminate blind spots
Blind spots when driving can be dangerous potentially leading to accidents. Here is a very easy way to correctly adjust your rear and sideview mirrors to eliminate blind spots and avoid accidents.
On the driver side, lean out of the window till the eyes are aligned with the side of the car. Then adjust the driver side sideview mirror outward till you can see just beyond the car and view in the reflection of the sideview mirror of the car just disappear.
On the passenger side, lean towards the passenger as far as possible, then adjust the driver side sideview mirror the same way, that is, till you can see just beyond the car just after the side of the car disappear in the reflection in the sideview mirror.
For the rearview mirror, just adjust the normal way. For more graphic instructions, view the video embedded below:

Robbery at 1 Utama Old Wing Car Park. Poor Security Guard response.
From an email forward
Dear all, please be aware when you are at outside, no matter where you are, especially at the parking inside the mall. This incident happened on 16{7/2012 which is yesterday night around 10pm at 1 Utarna Shopping Center, old wing LG floor car park.
An old man got punch by a malay guy, and he got robbed. There is no security guard around at all, and we cant even find a security guard that time. After reaching of the security guard, they want us to stop taking photo and keep chasing us leave, they are trying to cover up the issue.
And the best thing is, when I call 999, I got scolded by the police =.= "eh! cakap melayu, cakap me|ayu..." Excuse me sir, I know malay, I'mjust kinda panic at the moment because |'m used to speak english most of the time. And it take almost half an hour for them to come over.
There is a police station at Taman Tun right? Why took so long? What if people dying?
This is seriously unacceptable.
Please share this to all of your friends, love one, family, strangers.. Nowadays no matter shopping complex, or wherever are no longer safe, we gotta take extra care to our self, must be extreme alert when we are at outside.
Share! Share! Share!

Evidence Act 1950 Amendments seriously flawed
Below is the press release from CIJ (The Centre for Independent Journalism):
26 June 2012
*Petition to stop controversial amendment handed to deputy minister*
KUALA LUMPUR - The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) today handed a petition against recent amendments to the Evidence Act 1950 to deputy law minister facto law minister Datuk VK Liew in parliament.
The petition collected more than 3300 signatures and called on the government to withdraw Section 114A of the Evidence (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 2012 because it threatens freedom of expression online and presumes the guilt rather than innocence of internet users publishing content online.
CIJ director Jac sm Kee said, "The law is vague and broad enough that it has caused a lot of fear. Majority of Malaysians will err on the side of caution."
The presumption of guilt also disproportionately burdens the majority of internet users in Malaysia who are not very tech-savvy. “What can an ordinary internet user do to prove it wasn't them who published something online when the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) itself sometimes says it doesn't have the technical resources to find the real culprits?” she told Liew.
Liew however said that many fears are misplaced and he agreed that more dialogue is needed. He also thanked the petitioners for presenting their views.
The amendment also makes Internet intermediaries --parties that provide online community forums, blogging and hosting services -- liable for content that is published through its services. This has implications on businesses such as eateries that provide free wi-fi. "If a kopitiam owner is liable for all the traffic that goes through its wi-fi, it places a lot of burden on them, in terms of monetary and human resources, to either conduct surveillance or stop providing wi-fi altogether," Kee explained.
She said the law is also in contradiction to the prime minister's speech on the eve of the last Merdeka Day, where he talked about wanting to improve the ICT infrastructure of the country. The law creates a chilling effect that hampers this economic drive.
Joining CIJ at the handover was A. Asohan, Executive Editor of Digital News Asia, and Foong Cheng Leong Co-chair of Kuala Lumpur Bar Information Technology Committee. Speaking to reporters later, Asohan said, "The fact that MPs from the both sides of the political divide did not understand the wider ramifications of this amendment shows there is a need for greater discussion. We need more legal brains on it and feedback from the industry and others like Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) and MCMC. Given that the BN will be announcing the digital transformation programme soon, this will be a major issue.”
Referring to the recent move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall requiring provision of wi-fi under its food and beverage business licence, Asohan said, “If businesses are being told that they must provide wi-fi access in KL but they are going to be liable for every tweet that comes out from their network, why would they want to do so? It sounds very alarmist. But it's there in black and white. It may not be the spirit of the law but it is in the letter, which makes it open to abuse.”
The controversial amendment was bulldozed through during April's parliamentary meeting which saw a raft of laws passed without debate. The amendment made news shortly after when concerns were raised by civil society as to its detrimental impacts and broad reach.
