I did my tax filing yesterday. It was the second time I filed my taxes online. Last year the experience was horrible! The stupid e-filing system forced me to use Internet Explorer to submit my income and expenses details. It used some weird IE-only security certificate which I find very troublesome.

This year though, LHDN (Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board) has done some major improvements to the e-Hasil e-filing system. It now supports almost all modern browsers.

I performed my income tax submission without any problems and it was much easier than last year. The deadline to file your income tax submission is until the end of this month (April 2008). If you haven’t filed your income tax submission, I suggest that you do so as soon as possible.

From last Friday to Sunday, PIKOM PC Fair came to town. On Saturday, I decided to check out the wares on sale. It wasn’t a case of casual booth-hopping. I was actually looking for a specific equipment; a fan and heatsink combo for my aging (but still useful) Athlon Thunderbird processor. The processor may be old, but it runs on the still pretty common Socket A architecture.

So there I was, just in time to see the doors open for the 100 or so early birds (not really that early since the fair starts at 11:00 am). Surely I can find the heatsink of my dreams, right?

I’ve always been an admirer of Datuk Shahrir Samad. I believe he epitomizes the die hard spirit of Johoreans. He’s been through so many negative experiences but time and time again he rises from the ashes. He’ll always be a phoenix in my book.

Due to my utmost respect for Datuk Shahrir (who also happens to be my MP - Johor Bahru), I am very pleased to have learned that he’s now Malaysia’s new Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP).

The ruling Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition has officially obtained the simple majority in parliament. However, the more important question would be; Is there much for BN to celebrate in this year’s election?
