Road Safety Awareness

MUSLIMS in the country were reminded to obey road safety rules and regulations, be more vigilant and to make supplications for protection from Allah (SWT) while on the road.

The Friday sermon yesterday was read in conjunction with The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, which is held on the third Sunday of November each year. It is aimed at highlighting the devastating consequences of road traffic accidents.

While calling on Muslims to be grateful for the blessings that has been bestowed by Allah (SWT), the sermon cited that 38 people were killed in road accidents around Brunei in 2009, an increase from the previous year where only 29 fatalities was reported.

"Alhamdulillah, we are grateful to Allah (SWT) as our country has been able to provide public facilities, welfare and joy for the people. One of the public facilities that is part of a daily necessity is the roads," imams nationwide said. Roads are public facilities that connect one place to another, and is not limited to vehicles as it is also utilised for those travelling on foot.

As road users, we must be responsible in protecting and preserving the facilities, and turning them into a safe place, and not otherwise, the sermon sated. It also highlighted the dangerous habit of using mobile phones while driving such as answering calls or text-messaging.

Engineering or technical factors can also contribute to road accidents; especially when combined with environmental factors such as a wet or dark road. Car and road conditions must not be taken lightly, stressed the imams.

On this note, the sermon further stated that relevant authorities are active in their efforts to tackle this issue: "Efforts have been made by revamping road safety rules and regulations, putting up roadblocks and improving road infrastructure, among others."

According to the information stated on the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration website, The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was first celebrated nationally by RoadPeace in 1993.

Since then it has been observed and promoted worldwide by several non-governmental organisation (NGOs), including RoadPeace, the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT) and the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR) and its associated organisations.

In April 2004, the United Nations General Assembly resolution on "Improving global road safety", invited WHO, working in close cooperation with the United Nations regional commissions, to act as coordinator on road safety issues across the United Nations system.

The World Health Assembly accepted this invitation in May 2004 and WHO subsequently set up the UN Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC), which holds biannual meetings to discuss global road safety issues.

Crazy Gamer Played MMO on Asia's Biggest LED Screen

Measuring in at over 80,000 square feet, larger than a football field, the ginormous screen at The Place in Beijing is a sight to behold. It usually decorates the city with spectacular images of oceans and scenery, and in 2008 showcased huge broadcasts of the Olympic games.

But on Sunday night, it was all controlled by one man. He brought his personal laptop to the scene, tapped into the center's wireless network, and streamed his favorite MMO game for all to see for about 10 minutes.

It's being reported that the hardcore player had to spend around 100,000 renminbi to have access to the screen for 10 minutes. That's approximately $15,000.

PS3 Owners Demand COD: Black Ops Refund

Fed up with the number of bugs plaguing the PS3 version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, players have begun an online petition seeking refunds for what's being called an inferior version of the multi-platform title.

Almost immediately after the launch of Black Ops, PS3 owners began criticizing bugs and glitches in the game, ranging from almost-humorous image rendering problems to unexplained crashes. Xbox 360 users, meanwhile, have seemed to have nothing but a smooth ride with the game. There had been some lag problems on the PC but they have supposedly been fixed up.

Meanwhile, despite patches to the PS3 version, some players are still reporting issues that are nowhere to be found on the other platform versions.

The petition poses the question, "Is it fair to charge PlayStation 3 owners the same price for an inferior product, when the previous version (Modern Warfare 2) was equal on both systems but the updated version (BO) is not?"

"We are requesting a full refund for Call of Duty Black Ops!"

More than 1,000 people have signed the petition in the span of the last six days.
