Proton: Why Business and Nationalism Won’t Mix

I’m writing this in response to a recent comment by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on Proton. I don’t know how Tun Dr Mahathir sees (or saw) the national car industry as a politician, so I’m not going to comment much on that. I will instead focus my writing on how I see the Malaysian car industry.

Suanie’s Now Wordpressed

On my random blog hopping, I found out that Suanie sports a new look, and powered by the mighty WP.

I have a feeling she will enjoy this new toy. Welcome aboard the WP train.

NST Server Infected by HTML.Redlof.A Virus

Warning to Windows users (especially those using IE), do not click the links in the second paragraph, especially if you don’t have up to date anti-virus software installed. You have been warned.

It seems that the New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad’s AdTimes archive hosting server is having a virus problem. Almost every article linked from this page is infected with the HTML.Redlof.A virus.

I was made aware of this issue through this post by Lainie. Hopefully, with more coverage on this issue, NST will take actions to clean up their archives. I would love to email the guys at NST about this issue, but unfortunately, their contact page doesn’t have an email address listed, and I couldn’t be arsed to call long distance :P

Update: I emailed Ms Brenda Marshall, the Senior Manager of Advertising (if I’m not mistaken) via an email address from the contacts page found here. This was at 9:30 am (a few minutes after this post).
