POLICE - Safety or Scary..

What impression does a policemen gives you? Safety or Scare?
There are many news about policemen abuse their rights upcoming recently. This makes me wondered something about the impression of police to the public. There are even some Malaysian public websites which gave us precious guides to avoid ourself from falling into the trap setup by the police. Well, it might really help when you are detained by the police BUT think back, why would we need to take these steps? It is obviously a way for not co-operative with the police and interfere the whole investigation. Don't you think so? Below are what I've extracted from a Malaysian Public Portal - Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM)
http://suaram.net/citizenadvice.htm

1. HOW TO DEFINE ARREST? ONLY WHEN...
a. The police say "you are under arrest"
b. The police handcuff you
c. You are prevented from leaving a room, a site etc by the police.

2. WHAT IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY THE POLICE (while walking away, driving home etc.)
a. You may be questioned. ONLY give your particulars i.e. name, IC number, address. You may also be asked to show your IC.
b. You don't have to answer any other questions.
c. Always ask for the police's identification. Always take down their name andID number.
d. Take down the number of the patrol car.

3. IF YOU ARE ASKED ANY OTHER QUESTION
a. Ask the police "Am I under arrest?"
b. If he/she says "yes", do not answer any more questions. It is your right to only answer questions in court.
c. If he/she says "no", you may leave anytime.

4. IF YOU ARE BEING ARRESTED
a. Alert the people near you.
b. If you have a handphone, call your friend, family or lawyer. If you are arrested in the areas between Jalan TAR and Dataran Merdeka, you will most likely be taken to Dang Wangi (Stadium) police station and Campbell police station. Ask your friend, family or lawyer to go first to Dang Wangi police station to verify your arrest and whereabouts.
Note down the time you were arrested.

5. AFTER ARREST, THE POLICE MUST TELL YOU
Why you are arrested.

6. AFTER ARREST
The police can only keep you in the lockup for 24 hours, regardless whether it's a public holidary or the weekend. This is your CONSTITUTIONAL rights. After the 24-hour period expires, the police must bring you before a magistrate for remand (a stay in the police lockup to "assist" their investigation). Otherwise you will be released either on police bail (jamin mulut) or charged in court. Once charges, you need a bailer and money unless it's an unbaileable charge.
You can't bring anything into the lockup except for the clothes you have on. When the police take your things away, you must sign for it. If you have money or bank/credit cards, make sure you count your money and make the police write down how much you had on, and which bank/credit cards you have.
You may be asked to give a 113 statement (cautioned statement). The police officer taking your statement must read you your rights.

7. POLICE QUESTIONING
Be careful when answering verbal questions put by the police. It may be in a form of friendly questions about the weather, your family etc. to relax you. Think twice before answering them as it can be used against you in court. Remember, the police's work is to make sure they have enough evidence to charge you, not to have friendly conversation.
If the police asks you to give a 113 statement, you must give your particulars eg. your name, IC etc. And find out the name of the officer. Any other questions, we STRONGLY advise you not to answer until your day in court, and together with your lawyer. It is your right! Whatever you may say, can be used against you or your friends. You can answer all other questions like this way:Q: Were you at Dataran in the afternoon? A: I will only answer all questions in court. Q: How did you get to Dataran this afternoon? A: I will only answer all questions in court. Q: Did your mother prepare lunch for you before you left? A: I will only answer all questions in court.
If the police officer taking your statement threatens you verbally or behave in a threatening manner, you must stop giving your statement immediately. Stay calm and tell him/her "I cannot continue with my statement because you are threatening my safety. I want this to be noted in my statement." If he/she doesn't do type your objection, wait until the end of your statement. But if he/she continues to threaten you, leave the room and alert the other officers and ask for their 'protection'.
When you finish answering all questions, the police officer will allow you to read your statement. He/she will ask you if you have anything to add, change, delete. This is when you correct any mistakes on the statement or add any other comments. E.g. If you have been threatened during questioning or assaulted during your arrest etc. this is another opportunity for you to say it. The police officer must type all that out. You will be asked to sign your statement. Go through it thoroughly and sign your name as close to the ending paragraph as possible, so that no one can tamper with it.

8. IF YOU ARE BROUGHT IN FRONT OF A MAGISTRATE (For Remand)
If you don't have a lawyer, you must insist legal representation. The Legal Aid Centre has lawyers stationed at courts for this purpose.
Tell the magistrate if you have any grievances e.g. if you were beaten up, threatened; if you are feeling ill, need medication etc.

9. IF YOU ARE BROUGHT IN FRONT OF A MAGISTRATE (For Charges)
Again, you mut insist on legal representation.
Make sure you have someone to bail you out. If you have not been able to contact your family or friends, ask permission from the magistrate to assist you in contacting your family. Otherwise you can ask your lawyer. Your family will have to bring money to bail you out, which must be in the form of an account opened in a bank closest to the courts. Ask your lawyer or your magistrate where this bank is. No other form of payment (cash, cheque etc.) is accepted by the courts.

10. IF YOU ARE BEATEN IN CUSTODY
After you are freed on bail, make sure you go to a government clinic or hospital to have a medical checkup. Make sure you know the name of the doctor and the reference number to your medical report as you can use this later in court.
If you are still in remand, make sure you tell the magistrate that you need to go to the hospital or clinic.



So would you think that police is someone that you can trust and relies on?

Bluetooth making me headache


While I was trying to connect my Remote S60 from my pc, it really gives me a big headache. Well at first, the Remote S60 (PC server) is installed, and as I expected, it doesn't works. Everytime I tried to establish my Serial connection through my pc, my HP hangs there. I can't do anything except reboot my phone. Ok... here... I assume that it is the Nokia PC Suite's Mrouter who caused this problem. Hence, I installed the PC Suite's, and configured the Mrouter detecting ports. As default, my Serial Connection is in COM3. I reconfigured it, make the correct settings and restarted my pc. Here is my second attempt to establish the Serial Connection again. Ok.. it was successed but my Mrouter doesn't detects it at all. Its not only fail to detect my phone, it hangs again.... I have no choice but to reboot my hp again...

After few minutes of trying, booting, reset the ports, finally I decided to check on the Bluetooth Setting under by BT Tray.

I unchecked the Secured Connection under the Serial Connection, and try to establish Serial Connection again. Finally it works this time... Phew.... At last, everything works perfectly. :P


Hmm... hope that if you face this problem, you know whats wrong with it... :)

Meet Andy Lau and Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) in Times Squares

Andy Lau and Charlene Choi meeting Malaysian fans here to advertise their new movie "All about love" in Times Square here just now. I personally get to there around 5pm, then have a walk in Times Square and there is already few people waiting down the stage. We thought that it was still very early to get a good spot, so we went to the Borders bookshop and nest there for few minutes. Then around 6pm only we finding spots to stand. Starting we are standing at 1st Floor, but as we wait for only few minutes, we feel bored already. So we walk around at the ground floor and look around. Too bad, when we decided to back to our spot, its already taken by other people. Hence, we have no choice but to stand at ground floor.

Andy and Charlene suppose to be arrived on 7pm but they appear on 7:45pm. The place quite packed with people and we can see anykinds of people there. Hahahaa... surprisingly, our classmate was one of the Official Twins Fan Club. They have the previledge to access to the restricted area which is right infront of the stage. :S Anyway, Charlene is really cute... :P Hahaha...

After watching them, as we left, outside was heavy downpour. I still have appointment with monitor seller. Hmm.. still quite satisfy by the monitor condition, it looks quite new, although it was a second hand unit. Here is the monitor that I've bought from the seller. The Samsung 793DF.

Hmm... nothing much, just hope that no more problem about monitor will happen again. Tired with the monitors problem already. :) Anyway, the picture below is the night view of KL city from Menara Alpha here. After the downpour, the light is so nice... but my phone camera has limited capability only. :P

Samsung Newly Designed Phone - "Serene"


Ok, actually this phone rumours has been floating around the mobile phone websites for quite some time and I noticed this cute thing days weeks ago. For the first time cooperation between Bang & Olufsen and Samsung proudly present the newly design phone, Samsung Serene. This phone is specially design for comfortability and convinient communitcation.

Serene will be firstly launch in Europe, and other western countries. Too bad there is still no news about this phone to be brought into Asia. Maybe we still have to wait for a few moments until Samsung reliaze that Asian need Serene too. (Personally I think I can't afford one... :P)

Below are the articles extracted from http://www.gsmarena.com

Samsung Electronics and Bang & Olufsen unveil a new mobile phone concept called Serene

A cooperation between Bang & Olufsen and Samsung Electronics' Mobile Business has resulted in a unique mobile phone concept that breaks with conventional assumptions.

The phone is pure, simple, and of the highest quality, and the name 'Serene' reflects this. The idea behind Serene was to create a mobile phone that is dedicated to one prime purpose: to enable comfortable and convenient communication.

Since early 2004, the two companies have cooperated closely to realise this idea and the result is a truly unique product. In every aspect of the design and technology there is a carefully thought through relationship between form and function that makes both the minimalistic design and the use of the phone elegantly simple and straightforward. The name of the phone, Serene, reflects the core concepts of elegant simplicity and refined minimalism.

The intention is to provide an alternative for those customers who demand the highest quality, for whom simplicity and quality are important factors, and for whom less can be more. It is a phone you want to keep. It is timeless in use, in design, and in technology, freed from unnecessary functions and instructions. By combining Bang & Olufsen's concept development and design skills with Samsung's leadership in mobile phone technology, engineering and quality, both companies saw an opportunity to realise a totally different mobile phone concept.

"Serene is the result of our vision to constantly push the boundaries of mobile phone development and bring to our customers unique and exciting products", says Kitae Lee, President of the Telecommunications Business in Samsung Electronics.

"We wanted Serene to become a precious item, an item that is a personal expression of quality and convenience. The coherence to other Bang & Olufsen products is experienced through the design and a very simple user operation," says Torben Ballegaard Sørensen, CEO of Bang & Olufsen.

Serene consists of two equal parts that are tied together by a beautifully crafted aluminium hinge. The display and microphone are placed in the lower shell in a landscape orientation and the circular keyboard and loudspeaker is placed in the upper shell with an elegant thumb operated wheel in the middle taking care of all primary operations.

Accordingly, the colours, fonts, screen format and size have been specially selected with logical operation in mind. The relatively large, wide format display makes reading and writing on the screen even more pleasant. At the same time, restricting the number of features on the handset makes it possible to limit the number of menus, which in turn makes the experience of using Serene both logical and intuitive.

Serene comes with a triangular charger/docking station made in polished anodized aluminium with a cut-out for the phone. If the phone is placed in the docking station or the phone is used in a table mode it can be used as a minilaptop as the display can turn 180 degrees for convenient use in this position as well.

As a special feature for Bang & Olufsen customers, a special DECT docking station is available which enables Serene to synchronise its phonebook with the domestic cordless system of telephones from Bang & Olufsen.

New venue for lecture...


Heck, we have been assigned to the new Lecture Hall DKABA... If you wonder why so special about the lecture hall, here look at this picture..
As you can see the DKAB (red circle) is separated by the moutain there, and if we want to get to that lecture hall, there is no other ways than get out from college and walk to the UTAR there. We can only pray that there is no tutorials right before or after the lecture because our tutorial normally would be placed in Block K (blue circle). Just take the swimming pool (is olympic sized pool) as the size reference, the fastest we could get there is 15minutes. Imaging that we need 15minutes just to change venue. Well just pray hard that the college won't make such ridiculous arrangement, else I wouldn't dare to think what will happen to us next. :S

For more details about the distance between block K and DKABA, click the picture below to enlarge it.

A Cool Concept Phone


Finally, the Finnish biggest phone manufacture came out something interesting that makes the Asian drools. This concept phone known as Nokia888, which is just 0.5cm thick and it can be bend anyway you want it to be. Thus, with this phone, you can wear it as wand on the wrist, or even as a braclet. In fact, you can bend in anyway you want it to be. Sounds cool? Yea.. I think this is the best phone that Nokia has ever designed.

The phone is using liquid batteries, a flex touch screen, and the advance voice recognition. Hmm.. it might be still a long run before our mobile phone technology reaches this stage. If this concept turns into true, our future phone would be this --> ~ ? ;)
