Register As Pengundi Pos Luar Negara Via Email In Just 5 Minutes!

-

I sent in my Permohonan Kertas Undi Pos (Pengundi Pos Luar Negara) a month ago after reading this post on my Facebook feed & was surprised that some Malaysians I spoke to thought that it would be too much trouble to bother. That's ludicrous & asinine (my latest favorite word)! Well, guess how long it took me to finish the application?


From printed to filled = 5 minutes. The best part is it didn't require any cumbersome entries or accompanying documents. Don't believe me? Check out the Borang 1B yourself; it's a work of art with easy to understand instructions/explanations.

When's The Deadline? Carpe Diem... DO IT NOW! You definitely have the 5 minutes it takes to do this! Nobody except our PM & our Yang di-Pertuan Agong knows. It could be next month, next week, or even tomorrow. We have until midnight of the day that parliament is dissolved (which would automatically take place come 24 June 2018)

Don't have a stamp? Too lazy to go out in the cold to get one? You can EMAIL the completed form to upup@spr.gov.my or fax to 03-8881 0424/ 0399/ 0394/ 0386/ 0369.
Mail goes to Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Malaysia, Menara SPR, No.2 Jalan P2T, Presint 2, Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan, 62100 Putrajaya, Malaysia. (u.p. Unit Pengurusan Undi Pos Luar Negara). They've made it really easy for us, so no more excuses.


There are, however, a few conditions:
  1. You must be already registered as a Pengundi Biasa (Pengundi Tidak Hadir need not apply).
  2. You have been in Malaysia or returned to Malaysia for not less than 30 days during the 5 years before the dissolution of Parliament in 2018 (doesn't have to be consecutive; 6 days over 5 years is fine; as long as the total is 30; refer to the immigration date-stamps on your passport).
  3. You must be living overseas (excluding southern Thailand (Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, Songkhla and Satun), Singapore, Brunei and Kalimantan province, Indonesia. Malaysians there have to balik kampung to vote.)

What's next? If SPR approves your application, they will send you a love letter with your ballot via POS Malaysia after nomination day. Once you get your postal votes, make you have it returned to SPR before polling day (you'll have to get a stamp then. Don't be lazy.). After that you can take a selfie with your ballot envelope, post your ballot, & watch the likes pile up.

What To Do When Your Unifi Service Suddenly Drops

After finally putting my kid to sleep, I was about to settle into the couch with my wife & stream a movie, when my Unifi fiber optic internet connection suddenly dropped. When it didn't come back after 1 hour, I realized that I had to do something. Considering that I pay my bills promptly every month, it must be a technical issue. Here's what I did to fix the problem. It look me less than 20 minutes. 1. First, I checked my modem (the white machine). I checked the lights on the modem. When the modem is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, PON, LAN1 & TEL1. If the red light for LOS lights up, call 100 to resolve the issue. Also, I made sure that all the wire connections were tight. 2. Next, I checked my router (the black machine). Again, I checked the lights. When the router is functioning properly, lights will be on for POWER, GLOBE, WIFI, LAN1. My POWER light was blinking, so that means that there was no internet connection. Again, I made sure th

Understanding The New SPM (2021) English 1119 Paper Format

-
Image
This outline & those of other SPM language papers were made publicly available on the Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia (LPM) website . I'm sure you've seen the above being circulated on the internet. But, what does it mean? How does this paper compare to the current SPM paper for English? Do we have to change our testing practices in Form 4? At this moment, information is sparse despite great public interest. As the head of the English panel at my school, my Form 4 colleagues will come to me for what to do & parents will ask me what this is about. Until we have very specific instructions from the ministry, this is what I will be telling my colleagues & parents based on the limited amount of information available to me from my intimate experience with the current SPM paper & second-hand information about the PT3 English paper. Let me know if I got anything wrong or if you have more detailed information.

from millennialtrain.co Whoever designed this cabin is a genius!       I am very honored to announce that I will be one of the 50 millennials accepted into the very selective  Millennial Trains Project  (MTP). This year, there are 2 journeys with 25 participants each: Change & Unity . Basically, the MTP is a whole new way to conference. Participants take part in talks & workshops from distinguished mentors inside a metallic retro train slowly moving across the US. We'll be able to pick the best minds in the US. Furthermore, the train will also make several stops along the way where participants will get the chance to learn from local leaders/organisations as well as run a personal project during those stopovers. My project involves going to  Pittsburgh ,  Chicago ,  Albuquerque ,  Kansas City , &  Los Angeles : 1) Learn about efforts to bridge disparities in education with at-risk communities (low income, minority, refugee, immigrant, etc). I will visit ind

How To Fix Logitech Options Not Loading

-
Image
I use a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard at home & love it to bits. Very quiet & the tactile response is just perfect. Also, it's super small so easy to put away when I need to pile exam papers on my desk. Still, there's one small problem though... It is a compact keyboard so the multimedia buttons double as function keys. I use the function keys A LOT & it's really cumbersome for me to have to hold the "fn" button every time I want to use them. I.e., try pressing alt+fn+f4 with one hand. Thankfully, with the Logitech Options software, I can default to the function keys. A few months ago, I was chagrined to learn that my keyboard had spontaneously returned to factory settings. "No problem", I thought. "I'll just change the settings in Logitech Options." Only to find that the app wouldn't load on my Windows 10 machine, resulting in the blank window you see screen-captured above. "Let me try reinstalling." Uni
