Packet One has launched its WIMAX service, P1 w1max, in Malaysia and extended the plan promotion to December 31st, 2008. During the promotion period, the WIMAX modem (worth RM999) is free for each subscribers.

Also, you save RM10 less on monthly charge for 2.4Mbps plan. Business plans are enjoying the same charges as Personal plans.

I tested the P1 W1MAX connection during the last PC Fair and it was good. Of course, it was not a real life test. An early P1 W1MAX tester complained about the stability of the Internet connection.

Google Blog Search’s front page has been redesigned and now it tracks and groups the related blog posts according to the number of blogs about a story and the published time.

Google blog search front page

The new Google blog search looks very much like Google News. The related blog posts are clustered, and a blog count and thumbnail are displayed on the left hand side.

Clicking the blog count will dig further to the story and a chart on the right is showing the “hotness” of the story based on the number of blogs covering the story in the past 16 hours.

On the left most sides, the blog posts are categorized in different topics: Politics, US, World, Business, Technology, Video Games, Science, Entertainment, Movies, Television and Sports.

However, unlike Google blog search results, no feed is available for each blog topic. You can’t get the latest updates via feed or email.

For some tech geeks, the new Google blog search front page may look like a killer to Techmeme but Matt of Google showed the different.

I applied for Maybank’s Premier Mudharabah Account-i (PMA-i, a kind of current account) but got rejected for no reason by Maybank banking system.

What is PMA-i account?

PMA-i is a current account for personal that pays dividends. You do not need an introducer to open a PMA-i account. It can be applied via Maybank2u online application.

Why do I apply for a PMA-i account?

I need a cheque book because I want to make offline charity donations and book/magazines subscriptions.

In order to have a cheque book, you need a current account. To open a current account, you normally required to have an introducer who is an existing current account holder. PMA-i does not need an introducer and you can apply online at Maybank2u website. That’s why I tried PMA-i

Why am I rejected by Maybank?

Currently, I have 2 accounts with Maybank. One is saving account (Kluang branch), another is Maybank Premier (current account) for Online Stock, which does not issue cheque book.

I applied the Maybank Premier account at Maybank2u via their online application with my Kluang address. But it is the Maybank Batu Pahat agent came to Kluang to open the current account for me.

Now, when I submitted my PMA-i application, the Maybank system detected that I have 2 accounts at 2 different places and thus rejected my application.

If I would like to open a current account, I have to do it manually at Maybank branch and need an introducer. Click to continue “Maybank Reject My Current Account Application!” →
