Well look at what I came by……

The lowest ranking countries in the survey continue to be Malaysia, Russia and China. The highest-ranking countries in 2007 are Greece, Romania and Canada.

Malaysia

So what does this tell you? We have a problem.

“Extensive use of CCTV with no privacy safeguards” eh? Yet we recently had a 5 year old girl who was raped, sodomized and thrown off the building. so much for CCTV…….. or was there any in the first place?

In fact as I walk around shopping complexes and various office buildings, I noted that their CCTV doesn’t cover the right angle. I do come by a building where the CCTV doesn’t totally cover the angle that allows clear view of who entered their Mailbox room. So imaging, one could just enter the Mailbox room and drop nasty things and still get away. How did I know it doesn’t cover important angles? Believe it or not, I was told by the management.

Ok now if that happened to me, I’ll be enjoying and cursing at the same time!

I’ve been reading about the recent Sex Scandal involving our Health Minister, Dr Chua S.L. and I’ve also seen the click found at
Jeff Ooi’s blog.

I think he did the right move by confessing but it’s sad to see that one has to resign from all posts now just because someone else (clearly not 1 person agenda though) did pulled some dirty tricks.

In my opinion, the point of concern is WHO was behind the under-hand tactic. The objective is clear, and clearly they’re successful at it.
