1 Email = 50 sen

Tricubes Bhd has confirmed that it will charge government agencies about 50 sen for every email sent to Malaysians who are account-holders. At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Tricubes chief executive Khairun Zainal Mokhtar stressed that users of the email will not be charged. But they will be expected to pay an additional cost if they want their mails to be more "secure" and for encryption facilities, which are optional.

"But our default setting is a basic 'Secure Sockets Layer' (SSL) which is quite secure. Even with the friendly emails, and without the billing, everything is through SSL. Users can also send personal emails to their friends and it would be completely free," he said.

According to Khairun, the project will target 5.4 million subscribers to its email service by end of this year. Despite the uproar over the project, which is to be launched in July, this would mean that the company is targeting to sign up an average of 900,000 users every month. Tricubes conceded that it is a "stretch target" for a 100 percent subscription from all Malaysians above 18 years old by 2015.

KL Alternative Bookfest (KLAB)

We are once again going to host the KL Alternative Bookfest (KLAB). It will be held on the weekend of 18 & 19 June 2010, from 12pm-8pm, at The Annexe, Central Market. It is once again in conjunction with the hugely popular Art for Grabs event.


We also have some slots available for book launches, lasting 2 hour each (RM200 per slot, although sometimes two books might want to share). Please let us know by 30 April if you'd like to launch a book.

What's even more special is that we have an extra space at the raised loft (accessible by stairs from the gallery) to hold discussions or small events for your books. This space can fit 20 people comfortably, so it's for smaller events than an actual launch of a new book. It can be an author discussion, workshop, reading ... it's up to you. Do give us ideas on what you want to do there.

Puji Diri, Diri Dipuji

Doa kali ini ialah dibaca bila kita mendapat pujian daripada seseorang. Tiada siapa yang tidak suka dipuji. Pujian sebenarnya sangat berbahaya kerana boleh menyebabkan seseorang itu menjadi ujub ( bangga diri) dan sombong. Hanya Allah sahaja yang layak dipuji secara mutlak. Rasulullah SAW juga tidak suka bila melihat orang lain memuji-muji. Sabdanya:

"Bila kamu melihat orang-orang yang sedang memuji-muji dan menyanjung-nyanjung maka taburkanlah pasir ke wajah-wajah mereka." ( Imam Ahmad)
Oleh yang demikian rasulullah saw mengajar kita agar membaca doa ini agar kita terselamat daripada sifat-sifat keji yang boleh membinasakan diri kita. Doanya ialah :

اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ تُؤَاخِذْنِيْ بِمَا يَقُوْلُوْنَ، وَاغْفِرْلِيْ مَا لاَ يَعْلَمُوْنَ وَاجْعَلْنِيْ خَيْرًا مِمَّا يَظُنُّوْنَ

Maksud : Ya Allah, semoga Engkau tidak menghukumku karena apa yang mereka katakan. Ampunilah aku atas apa yang tidak mereka ketahui. [Dan jadikanlah aku lebih baik daripada yang mereka sangkakan.(Imam al-Bukhari dalam al-Adabul Mufrad,disahihkan oleh al-Albaniy)

Semoga Allah merahmati kita semua dan membimbing kita ke jalan yang diredaiNya.
