High Tech Siuuttt...

I BET, not a lot of you know that Malaysia is SO blardy high tech that we are the ONLY country in the world with a chip based passport(or if we are not, we are the pioneer)? And also the first country in the world to introduce a chip based credit card?(The Americans have no idea how to use it) And also identification cards which require your fingerprints to be verified for its authenticity? (Let us thank IRIS for all that)
(I know, all of you can gasp in disbelief, but Malaysia is WAY MORE HIGH TECH than Microsoft. TAKE THAT BILL GATES!)
(THIS is when I feel compelled to yell MALAYSIA BOLEH!)

The story is, whatshisname, oh yea ex-President Bush asked his Cabinet - "why is it that a small country like Malaysia can come up with such a FANTASTIC technology like the chip based passport, but we can't?" (this is a true story, cos I heard it from someone who is closely connected to IRIS)

So what is the use of this super high tech chip based passport? To make detecting people easier. The rumour is that eventually, the Government will make the chip on our identification cards GPS enabled. So that each and every person can be detected. (Privacy? Bah Humbug!) So, currently our passport is so blardy high tech, wherever we go, we realise that other countries are so low tech, we still have to line up to have the passport checked by a human being. Sheesh.

Anyway, the whole point of my rant is this.

Malaysia is so high tech. Passport high tech? Check. ID card high tech? Check. ATM card high tech? Check. Credit Card high tech? Check.

But, still we get this :-

"Helmi Malek, the former boyfriend of Selangor exco member Elizabeth Wong has yet to be traced, says Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah"

Then what is all the use of the high tech things? when you cannot even trace a man who obviously will have to use his passport and his identity cards or even his ATM or Credit Cards to be running around wild in some other country.

Cheh.
