What sort of networking are you refering to? If I am correct, there is
Bitnet in Malaysia. The link is at UTMJB via NUSVM. UTMKL is connected
via UTMJB. But the KL machine is not up 24 hrs a day, and also, the link
to JB is not always active.

If I'm not wrong, Singapore citizens are not permitted to send their children
to the international schools.  Non-citizens have a choice between local or
international schools.

Did anyone notice the obnoxious NBC newscasters who kept downplaying small and
insignificant countries as they walked into the stadium in their remarks? When
Brunei's small contingent came in, one of them commented that "The only event
that they [Brunei] are going to compete is the BUFFET!" Fortunately, they
gave more credit to Malaysia's delegates. But still the only camera shots of
the team was only of Razif Sidek who was the flag bearer. The audience at home
couldn't even see the entire team.

Anyone catch it over cable? Better coverage?

	The olympic flame is sacred and has to originate from Greece.
	No way can they light the flames electrically. They would
	rather relight the arrow and fire it again than pulling off
	a slight of hand trick with the sacred flame.

	If you notice, placing a match near a candle would ignite it

Why the distinction?  In the financial world, regardless of what race you are,

sometimes, despite your efforts, you get peanuts or less.)

   people in Singapore.  I have no doubt that some people in U.S.A. work 
   very hard.  However, do these prove that most Americans spend as many
   time as most Singaporeans do in work?  Do these prove that working
   attitude of American is as same as that of Singaporean? 

It also doesn't prove that Singaporeans in Singapore produce any more than
American workers.  Singaporeans are equally capable of doing the equivalent of
hanging around the water cooler or placing their brains on idle.  Just because
one is sitting at one's desk or running around like a headless chicken doesn't
mean that one is producing anything of importance.

   If anybody believe that there is no big difference between Singaporean 
   life style and American life style?

   This may be the best joke that I ever heard.

Wettest joke I've heard in a long time.

The differential had definitely narrowed.  I just returned from Spore and
can confirm that prices (in general) in Spore are no longer cheap.   As for PC's,
one of the reason can be attributed to the disappearance of "unapproved" clones.
All that one can get now are the "legal" & "brand-name" clones that are not any
cheaper than what you can get in US.

	Sorry folks, I just couldn't resist the temptation to join aboard the
	"please-flame-me-for-my-english" bandwagon.

	Both spellings "realise" and "realize" are correct. The
	Queen`s English uses "realise" if I'm not mistaken while
	American English uses "realize". Upon checking the online
	Oxford English Dictionary however I found out that the word
	"realise" is not recognized by the OED while on the other
	hand, there is >100 line long heading for "realize".

	The bottom line is: either way, you are incorrect for
	chastising Syed for his English.
