Jawi extension of Arabic, Khat is method

1. What is Arabic script?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_script

2. What is Jawi?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jawi_alphabet

Arabic is the language used in Koran, it is totally different language compare to Jawi except partial alike in writing.

Progressive bring more sounds and words, and people started to extend Arabic script by adding new alphabets.

Khat
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calligraphy

Khat is method of art used to express meaning through Arabic / Jawi scripts. It basically no different from Chinese calligraphy except most Khat wrote "A" and "M".

One could use Chinese characters to write Bahasa Malaysia, Japanese or Korean alphabets to write Bahasa Malaysia too.

啊压 = air (utara)
吧 / 酒吧 = bar
马来西亚 = Malaysia
汉都亚 = Hang Tuah

Jawi is exactly same case like above example, they use Arabic script to pronounce English / Malay / Tamil words, through out the process, they added new alphabets to cater insufficient sounds and thus Jawi was born.

Learning Jawi and Khat (The arts way to write Jawi / Arabic ) in school is definitely something positive, in fact it is not so hard, any adult with healthy mind could start reading and write in perhaps 1 or 2 day time.

For non moslem, surely they wouldn't write "A" or "M", as it might be offensive too and prone to misunderstanding if the writing is wrong, ugly or etc, maybe they will end up writing Visnu, Shiva, Jesus, Guanyin or etc name.

Year 4 is kids, and no doubt, kids are playful, and kids have no regard the alphabet they learn and used are something holy from Koran and surely we don't want to see these alphabets end up in unholy places.

I strongly suggest education ministry to roll this Khat idea for students in university level instead of year 4 students.

Windows 10 functions w/o activation cuma people can see your desktop got watermark "Activate Windows Go to Settings to activate Windows"

Including the clean LTSC version.

Logon Webmail from self coded form

Netter — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 19:40:25 +0800

Under shared hosting, clients access their webmail through http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail which will then redirect to https://www.yourdomain.com:2096/ or etc port number that configured by hosting company.

Questions.

1. How to create URL http://www.yourdomain.com/mywebmail that covers every add-on domains since we cannot modify default Webmail logon page? (under shared hosting plan)

2. Your suggestion if we use subdomain, eg. http://webmail.yourdomain.com, shows up customize HTML form, then post to Webmail.

Idea to reduce plastic bottle wastes

Netter — Fri, 31 May 2019 06:30:15 +0800

Plastic bottle wastes is one great environment issue. since waste is something that no longer useful to us but what if we could make those plastic bottle useful to us after we poured out their content?

A bottle cap diameter of 8cm will make those bottles useful, since we could move our hand inside to store and retrieve items.

Imagine non liquid things that you could store? A lot right?

If all soft drinks bottles, ketchups bottles, cooking oil bottles, mineral water bottles, etc have a 8cm diameter cap, I believe people will use them to store some other stuffs instead of throwing them away.

If tiny cap is required, they could design that innovatively on top of that 8cm diameter cap.

Another terrible plastic wastes issue happened in online packaging, Lazada, Shopee,
Why couldn't PosLaju, J&T or etc courier services rent out plastic container by standard size for item delivery? All those plastic foam that sellers use to wrap their items will eventually end up in our rivers.
