Chose Kopitiam since it&#39;s the largest community here.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.reddit.com/r/malaysia/comments/wodwv/i_need_advice_on_how_to_find_lost_luggage_in_kl/' target='_blank'>Reddit post in r/Malaysia</a><br /><br />International tourist lost a luggage containing a drum when the bus storage compartment opened while traveling on the road. Approximately 10-15 minutes after the bus left KL Sentral, heading to KLIA. Luggage may have an address written on it to Canmore, Canada.<br />If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of the luggage, PM me, post at the Reddit topic above, or contact the nearest police station.

If more than 100MB data is transferred in a day, the speed may be throttled.<br /><br />Mathaba advises DiGi users to call customer service on 016-2211800 to demand deactivation of voice-mail, as well as requesting to prolong your calling tone. Users are also advised not to subscribe to any special caller ringing tones as these may not be prolonged.<br /><br />DiGi has some 8 million subscribers in Malaysia making up a little over a quarter of the total mobile phone subscriber base in the country and is 49% owned by Telenor.<br /><br />Mathaba has found extensive cheating by all 3 large Malaysian mobile telcos, which rate worse than those of its neighbors Singapore and Thailand.<br /><br />Unlike its two neighbours to the north and south, the Malaysian mobile Internet is both unreliable and costly, much of the time failing to perform, with 3G and 3.5G having slower actual throughput speeds than Thailand&#39;s EDGE.<br /><br />Calls on Skype phone from mobiles on Celcom and Maxis proved generally impossible according to tests conducted, whilst Digi&#39;s EDGE performed reliably even for Skype voice calls, similar to Thailand where 3G is generally not available due to licensing issues.<br /><br />Digi does not operate 3G but only provides GPRS/EDGE coverage, whilst Maxis and Celcom provide mobile broadband services that extensively rip off subscribers as is being reported in other news articles.<br /><br />Users of mobile operators in Malaysia are invited to leave comments below, and the Telcos are urged to redress this situation, provide a working customer service without cost to subscribers and to compensate users for failure to provide services billed for.<br /><br />Digi is called upon to provide exact and verifiable figures and come clean about its revenue from voice mail, how many calls are routed to voice mail each day, its switching policies and technical parameters, and to make it easy for its users to opt out of the service by default.<!--SPOILER DIV--></div><!--SPOILER DIV--><br /><br /><a href='http://www.mathaba.net/news/?x=623094' target='_blank'><span style='color:red'>Source</span></a><br /><br />I don&#39;t know about you, but the website seems a bit dodgy to me.

I’d say it’s a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take v&#33;@gr@,” President Cristina Fernandez said to leaders of the pig farming industry.<br /><br />She said she recently ate pork and “things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true.”<br /><br />Argentines are the world’s biggest per capita consumers of beef, but the government has sought to promote pork as an alternative in recent years due to rising steak prices and as a way to diversify the meat industry.<br /><br />“Trying it doesn’t cost anything, so let’s give it a go,” Fernandez said in the televised speech. — Reuters<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><a href='http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/world/51098-pork-better-for-sex-than-&lt;removed&gt;-says-argentine-leader' target='_blank'>Source: Malaysian Insider</a><br /><br />This is new to me.
