Vehicle Tracking System


How Vehicle Tracking System works..?

As refer to the figure above, its show the component of Vehicle Tracking System. To enable this system, the said vehicle need to be installed with GPS device. This device will be recognized  the vehicle by collects and transmits tracking data via a cellular or satellite network. The device then delivers the data to the hosted application. You will receive real-time vehicle tracking updates, including location, direction, speed, idle time, start/stop and more, allowing you to manage a tighter schedule and more efficient.

This system has been implementing at most of the logistic companies over the world. It is very effective where the organization can fully monitor their vehicle. It can prevent of late delivery because the driver knows that he is monitored by the system at all time. Vehicle tracking systems will vastly reduce phone bills as it is no longer a necessity to constantly call employees to find their location.

In addition, this system not only for improving delivery service, its also can be a function of detecting the vehicle in situation where the vehicle has been stolen. It just like 2 in 1 product.

Ocean is a vast area. Due to this, it is very difficult to monitor for every single things on the ocean. There is a situation where an illegal fishing activity have been happen for so long. In addition, there is also a situation where fisherman of neighbor country trespassing the state waters. Therefore, an initiative must carry out on how to monitoring the vast area effectively especially a vessels.

Mexico has been implemented Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) for their Marine Department. As refer to Figure 1, its shown the component of the VMS. VMS is one of the method on monitoring the vessel at sea. Every single vessel need to install this system. VMS allows one employee to monitor up to 500 boats in one time. The system also offers a level of surveillance coverage that far surpasses traditional methods.

By implementing this system, the monitoring of all the vessel become more effective. This system can distinguished for any vessel that passing trough an illegal or reserved area.

Smart Home


Samsung has been introduced smart home concept. This concept is just like a smartphone. As all we knew, smartphone is an integrated function of cell phone and computer. For smart house, it is a system that integrated or remotes at our finger tip.

A smart house need to be equipped with a smart device or smart device as well. These all device need to be synchronize in all together to ensure it can be operate smoothly. This smart house can be remote or monitor just though our smart device like smartphone and tablet.

In other words, when we can synchronized our smartphone with all the device in the or or with the house itself, we can control our house from distance even we are not around. For instance, a family would like to go for a vacation for a week. For sure the house will expose to a risk where there is possibility of burglars break into the home. 

Therefore, to minimize the risk, the owner of the house can switch on/off the lamp just through their smartphone. It just look like there are peoples inside the house even though in fact there is no one inside. This is psychology action where it can confusing for those who has a bad intention.

A study has been carried out by Ashok Agarwal, PhD on last 2007 - 2008 about the relationship between cell-phone usage by men and the fertility. As all we know that there is radiation produced by the cell phone especially during receiving a call.

In general, most of men will place or store their phone inside their trousers' pocket. Trousers' pocket is very near with the male genitalia. While receiving a call or receive a message, the wave that connected to the cell phone will produced radiation. It will affect fertility of sperm for that person. Therefore, men should take precautions action by minimize put or store phone inside their trousers' pocket. It atleast can reduce the effect of the radiation toward male genitalia.

Our next generation is up to what we do right now. If fertility is not so good, it will affect the survival of the next generation. Therefore, act now before its too late. Prevention is better than cure.

Mobile Phone Exploded..!!!



Mobile phone right now become a necessity to everybody. Therefore, we must have an experienced when dealing with the mobile phone seller during the purchase. Some of the seller will promote certain brand or AP set product. Right now, there are too many brand of mobile phone available in the market. From basic application up to high-end specification.  

Whether we realize it or not, not all product available in the market is a purely genuine. If the product is a genuine, there is no more doubt about it. But how about non-genuine or imitation product? For sure, there is a risk that the user need to bear later on.





As refer to today newspaper (Harian Metro, 14 Novmber 2014), there are cases reported regarding issue mobile phone exploded. When investigation was carried out, it has been found that it is all because of the non genuine or imitation product. 

Cell phones and cell phone accessories are produced without artificial safety standards . It is one of the reasons it easy to heat, fire and exploded. This kind of case not only happen here in Malaysia, but also happened in other country like Brazil, Thailand, Vietnam and Netherlands.

This incident can result in serious injury. Since parent nowadays also bought mobile phone for the children, they must consider the safety aspect of the product, not just buy just the cheapest because of it just for a children.


The risk on buying non genuine or imitation product is, the user of the mobile phone may be exposed to the incident when it exploded in the pocket or when used. Therefore, make sure buy only an original or genuine product that meet the standards.

As the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure".

Life as Husband & Wife



Last night, I watched Chinese movie at Channel 8. The title of the movie is Palace3: The Lost Daughter. That movie is about relationship among family members especially husband and wife. The relation become more complicated by the presence of third parties. 

I interested with the poem in the movie:

East & West, 
   The closest and also the farthest.
   Most in the river and also the most superficial.
Sun & Moon,
   The highest and brightest
Husband & Wife 
  The closest and also the farthest
 ....
-Li Ji Lan-

This poem is very nice.
The first three verses seem normal.
 But it has highlighted the last sentence.

It can be interpret as, 
There are many couples in this world
But not many couples who live happily ever.
There are a husband and wife who love each other and there are also rival.

It is not easy to become husband and wife. Husband-wife relationship is complicated. Indeed must receive allegations. But when surpassed expectations, the relationship may be changed either for the better or vice-versa. It is a good if the relation going toward positive relationship but if not, both husband and wife need to discuss together to find out the best solution for their common good.

Actually husband and wife have their own difficulties. But when the husband and wife are one mind, it will leads to family harmony and happiness.

Corruption is a common practice..?



As my daily routine, I will have lunch at a stall near my office. After I made my lunch, I read the newspaper today (Berita Harian, 13 November 2014) to know about current issues.

I interested with the issue title mention "Corruption is common practice, its become open secret" at page 7. It was a rather interesting topic. I read the article till the end.




That article is all about what is happening right now at Cameroon Highland and what were happened before. The reporter had interviewed former District and Land Office (Pejabat Daerah dan Tanah) of Cameroon Highland . According to him, corruption has been practice since the year of 80's at District and Land Office of Cameroon Highland. Since that, that practice become widespread among civil servants. Civil servants who are not responsible will take a chance by taking or asking for bribes to get money in easy way.

In addition, not many arrests that occur because of alleged lack of evidence even have conducted investigation. Since there is no action from the authorities and there is no catch, this activity is rampant.

What is disappointing, this activity is being known by the public. In other words, local people know that civil servants did ask about corruption among local entrepreneurs. It is like this practice is legal.

Surprisingly, if this activity is known by everyone, why the authorities did not take appropriate action against the officers involved. According to the former District and Land Office, this activity has been rampant since the 80s until now. Almost 30 years this activity prevailed in Cameroon Highland whim, why the authorities simply deaf ear and a blind eye? Whether the authorities are also involved in this illegal activity ?

Looks what happens on earth structures in Cameroon highland. Intrusion is more widespread while the authorities simply remain silent. If this is the situation that exists in Cameroon highlands, no wonder there are unscrupulous people who only care about personal interests and money are willing to exploit the country's most valuable treasures. Where is the integrity of government officials? 

In September 2013 ago, our Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd Najib speech at the "Syarahan Kelab Komanwel" in San Francisco, he wanted to make corruption as part of the things that have gone to Malaysia, not a practice in the future. He proved his sincerity by setting up a special Ministerial portfolio to ensure an all-out fight corruption in Malaysia. Now we have reached the end of the year 2014, what has happened to our Prime Minister decisiveness in fighting corruption?

Maybe our generation in the future will not be able to experience a comfortable environment as we enjoy today. What answer will we give to the next generation if this issue is not addressed in the sequel? 
Let us think together.
