[Complaint/Local] Is this the waste management we want?



On 21/3/2011 (Monday), 12.15pm, a waste management lorry finally passed by my house since they never come for few days. The workers who collect the waste of every house have a serious bad ethical problem.

After they transferred the waste to the truck, they pour the liquid remained in the rubbish bin into the houses (parking area), causing the air quality in my area drops, I simplify it as VERY SMELLY.

Still remember I read news regarding to the waste management few days ago, stating that government will only start charging citizens some fees when the era of 0 complaints. I wonder, when that day will comes?

Recently, some apps in Android Apps Store are believed to be lined with malicious code that able to steal user's information (privacy risk).

This is mainly caused by the openness of Android, which will approved any apps to be put into its apps store and allow anyone to download them regardless of the handphone's OS you using. Even though the characteristic of Android makes a lot of developers love it, but it raises the security risk.

Present, Android has been pulled out those malicious apps from the apps stores and released a patch for the flaw exploited on the Android OS.

I would like to advice any android users who reading this post to run updates of your hand phone and check out these websites if you want to know are you affected by these malicious apps.
