Excerpts from his post:
"At the very least, the first page that pops up on the screen, pre-booted by Parliament attendants, is to enable them to sign in their daily attendance. It's a no-brainer as the MPs will be greeted with their respective mugshots, and a click-on-the-mouse is what it takes to secure their daily subsistence allowance as a federal legislator.
In terms of hardware being fixed assets of the Parliament, the 10-inch LCD screen is screwed to the MP's table, effectively preventing theft. Affixed is a wired keyboard and a wired mouse.
...the computing specs are entry level kits fit for kindergarten.Net net, you spent big money that only placed big, fat 222 white elephants in the hall.
Which IT consultants drew the specs for this mismatch? The way Malaysia goes, the MPs may have to wait out till the 2009 Auditor-General's Report not due before next October.
So what we do? I have to shaft away the keyboard and the whole shebang that now occupy half of my workbench, and revert to my trusty HP Pavillion notebook, or sometimes the Vaio P25G, a netbook no doubt that drives faster than the Parliament's new toys for the MPs.
And, the last time the Speaker of the House remarked on my blog entry about him, he admitted that he was reading from a copy printed by the Parliament secretary.I ain't finished yet. I still need to find out who the Malaysian Parliament had engaged to install these flabby computers on each of our MP's desk. Computer speaking, they made the strong weak in order to make the weak strong. No good.
