HHmmm as a blogger, I am really interested in something like this. I wish I could attend this special dinner hosted by the Prime Minister but the date has been fixed on 4th Nov, 2010, possibly at Putrajaya so I don’t think even if I am lucky enough to be selected, that I could make it since it is so out of the way unreachable by public transport.

Yes, from what I was told, although we are urged to register our interest at the 1Malaysia website at http://www.1Malaysia.com.my, we are not guaranteed an invitation. From what we are told, attendees will be selected randomly, but how sure are we of that? Maybe cables have to be pulled or something? LOL

Anyway, I am looking forward to see who will be selected and I expect to read some blog postings of this event come the night of 4th Nov, 2010. If you are a Malaysian blogger, are you going to try your luck getting an invitation to this special dinner hosted by the Prime Minister?

I first got to know about Accutane and its side effects last week when I came across a Accutane Lawsuit. Accutane, to many lay people, is just a form of Vitamin A that is used to treat severe cases of acne.

Really, one would think that acne is not a big deal and is part of growing up but for people who have it bad and who are prescribed with Accutane, they would have put themselves at risk with side effects that include Crohn’s Disease and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Patients who are suffering from Accutane injury should quickly seek consultation with O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerath to see what options they have and if they qualify for product liability claim. This law firm has a team of expert lawyers who are able to handle even the most complex cases thanks to their vast experience in the field.

Although the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. M, has promised that the internet will be as free as it could be when he was in power, the current Prime Minister has said that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which governs internet and mobile communication in the country, has the right to act on users in the country who abuse these services.

By “abuse”, he means that people who incite racial and religious among the various religions in the country as this could cause tension and unrest in the country. From what I understand, MCMC does have the power to do so but has not implemented these policies too strictly so far.

Of course it is wrong to abuse the internet and I personally think that web users who generate content have a responsibility towards their readers and know where to draw the line but it would be interesting to see how MCMC will handle this. Looks like the ball is in their court now.

If you are familiar with Facebook, you would know that there are people who like to hijack another person’s name to use as his or her own. I don’t know why they think it’s funny to do so when most people usually can find out just by looking at the content and photos.

Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) has just sounded an alert that their name has been used in a fake Facebook account and that the Facebook page of “Syabas” is not their official website.

According to its Corporate Affairs Executive Director Abdul Halem Mat Som, the official Syabas account on Facebook and Twitter both use the ID “Puspel Syabas”, both created to provide customers with the latest information and to lodge reports when necessary.

If you have applied for credit in the United States between 1987 to 2000, then TransUnion probably owes you money! There is a TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit, if you haven’t already know yet, and O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath is offering free consultation to anyone is has been a victim of TransUnion, a credit company, that has allegedly illegally sold credit information of their customers to marketing companies who then, as you know, would take every opportunity to spam whoever that have been placed on their mailing list.

At least point, I do not know the quantum of claims that victims are eligible but it is said that people affected by this action by TransUnion would be entitled to monetary compensation from a pre-established fund of $75 million. That’s a huge amount of money. To see if you are eligible and your course of action, visit the website of O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath.

A friend told me that if subsidy for fuel is removed, he may consider taking a bicycle to work. It’s cheaper than driving a car and a the same time, he gets his dose of daily exercise too. While it is a good plan, I don’t think it’s viable because of the weather here.

Besides, it’s very dangerous to cycle in the capital city. Though I have never tried it before, looking at how car drivers are reckless in their driving as they chase for time to reach their destinations, especially during peak hours where it looked like the entire city was heading to work in the morning and home in the evening, I feel totally unsafe.

I told my friend that if he has to resort to cycling, he better equip himself with the contact details of an Austin Bicycle Accident Attorney first before heading out the door. I’m not being pessimistic but one can never be too careful these days.

I received a text alert from a media agency that Hong Kong activists are planning a worldwide boycott on Apple’s latest iPhone to protest against the ten suicide cases of workers in a China factory that manufactures Apple iPhones among other electronic gadgets.

I haven’t seen the actual news report yet anywhere on the web after searching for almost 30 minutes so I don’t know if they have retracted their intention but this is very likely in protest of the work conditions of Hon Hai Precision’s factories.

Hon Hai Precision is the parent company of Foxconn. I am using a Foxconn motherboard right now, but with ten suicides of its factory workers in recent weeks, consumers and activists should really look into how production workers are pushed to meet the demands of clients, including Apple and Sony Ericsson, but still, I don’t think it’s particularly fair to target Apple products alone.
