Looking at that RM50million that they are going to spend for email accounts. Btw, where are our computers and internet services? Will there be any training for my 50yo mom to check her mailbox? How much more do we (tax payers) need to pay for sending parents to email classes?
It is just like they are giving you a free Short-Message-Service but you have to subscribe to the mobile-service with this charges and that charges (excluding tax but not tax-free ya!) and most importantly you must buy a mobile phone with sms features (not those cheap cheap fone which can only receive and make phone calls lor).
Then if is something happen to your mailbox, they must spend another sum to look into the problem (no warranty on time taking so appreciate for being patience) but charges is based on time spent in looking into the problem. Charges to resolve that problem to be revealed later. Other terms and conditions is subject to with or without agreement (mostly is without la).
Oooi... is okay la! I prefer to call my mom instead of sending her a text for she won't bother to reply it. Telekom fixed line seems fine here!
p/s: with that RM50million, I can buy dozen of formulas and diapers for my toddler for few years even during her 'lao sai' period --- :p

Does Sissy means Behaving in Improper Manner?
On yesterday news (http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles//16eff/Article/), saying the state Education Department in Kuala Terengganu has sent 66 schoolboys with effeminate tendencies to a camp aimed at helping them behave in a proper manner.
What is the definition for "proper manner"? IMHO, you dig your nose in front of someone else is not a proper manner. You cut in the long queue is an improper manner. This including yelling, cheating, killing and the list goes on.
Like the definition in wikipedia of sissy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sissy), the line which says it is a pejorative for a boy or man who violates or does not meet the traditional male gender role. Ah ha! What is the traditional male gender role? Do men only can be masculine and women have to be feminine? How important is this role in man's life? How successful a man would be with this role? Is this the only role that a man should have?
In linguistics, masculine / feminine means grammatical genders, sometimes also called noun classes, are classes of nouns reflected in the behavior of associated words. In human, these should be a gender that refers chiefly (but not exclusively) to males / females or to objects classified as male / female. You see? Because it is an inherited pattern of thought, are we suppose to say those boys are behaving improperly?
To me these are the characteristic in somebody. It should not really affecting our lives. A sissy man could be doing better than a macho man, and a tomboy could be far more success than a lady-like woman. It is the quality of life and knowledge in us that drives us to succeed. Criticizing them does not proof we (so called normal men and women) are right. If we were to judge them, judge them by the law not by your insight.
Be fair and be square, there are also many traditional ways that we suppose to follow but we did not. Why should you build your happiness with somebody's agony. We should not prevail negative cultural reaction against "sissy boys".
