Handphone Hunt #4 - Sony Ericsson K530i

Ah yes! The search for an even cheaper phone but with 3G led me to the newly launched Sony Ericsson K530i. This phone has a 2 megapixel camera but WITHOUT flash... not even an LED flash! GASP! How can this even be possible?

However, it's got a nice set of other features and it costs RM950 the last time I checked from a Sony authorised dealer. It's got FM radio and blogging features! Also on my list.

"Malaysia Very Corrupt"

Based on the results from Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) where Malaysia is ranked 43rd (same position as last year but with an improvement from 5.0 to 5.1), Transparency International Malaysia founding president Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim said that we are still perceived as "very corrupt".

Where is Malaysia?

The World Bank's annual report stated that Singapore is the best place to do business, followed by New Zealand and the US. The top 10:

1. Singapore
2. New Zealand
3. USA
4. Hong Kong
5. Denmark
6. UK
7. Canada
8. Ireland
9. Australia
10. Iceland

Throughout the article, there are mentions of other Asian countries like China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia but no Malaysia... despite all the hype about the 9th Malaysian Plan, the Iskandar Development Region (IDR), the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) and the East Coast Economic Region (ECER). At least we are not at the bottom of the list. That means we are actually quite friendly.

Malaysia's Astronaut Angkasawan

I'm sure it's out all over the internet and the fact that the official word from our PM came a little late, but the primary astronaut is Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar (picture).
