KL Gangster - “Lu abang long ka, ayahanda ka, gua punya wang, KL ini gua pegang.”

What i can say about this movie is "Congrats". Shamsul had made a good movie, full of action and not boring to watch.

This movie is about a tale of two brothers who get involved in the world of gangsterism. The older brother Malek (Aaron Aziz) was imprisoned for five years after being betrayed by his own gang which was started by Shark (Syamsul), the step brother of the most influential gangster in Kuala Lumpur, King (Ridzuan Hashim). Malek who leads a normal life after being released, is pulled back into the world he left behind after all those years. Especially since his younger brother Jai (Adyputra) is influenced by the gangsters and decides to work for Shark bringing everything down in chaos.



The storyline and the plot of the movie was well arranged. Although the movie is about gangsterism, good values being shown in this movie eg: "Friendship" and "Uphold Family Value" Those values were well communicated throughout this movie which make the movie meaningful. The action style which was look alike "A copy of Hong Kong movie style" was well adapted into the movie.

According to some sources, PEKIDA want to sue Shamsul because some of the plot, using word like "Abang Long" and "Ayahanda" which related to the group. Although there was an issue with it, it does't stop people from watching the movie and making it some kind of "Promotion" to the movie itself. Just 4 days, the movie had gain RM6.2 million which put KL Gangster as one of the top local movies.

Facebook Face Recogniztion

Though it announced last December on this, it wasn't widely available until recently. I also didn't know about this new function as i seldom explore facebook features. Now it seem that this new functionality had been debated on privacy.

Facebook seems to be forever pushing the boundaries of what "online privacy" means.

So, what is this Face Recognition. Facebook has now enabled "tag suggestions" to many more of its users around the world, which means your friends will get an alert if someone uploads a photo that Facebook thinks contains your image.They'll be invited to tag it, and then your ID's associated with that image. Sounds neat in some ways, and there are a few privacy nods thrown in. You might notice this and just use the function but probably you don't know what it is behind the technology.

This function is actually turned on by default. Here's how to turn it off

Here are the step to disable the function.

  1. Go to Account*Privacy Settings.
  2. Click "Customize settings."
  3. Scroll down to "Suggest photos of me to friends" and click the Edit Settings button.
  4. Click the box where it says "Enabled" and select "Disabled."
  5. Click "Okay" and return to your previously scheduled activities, already in progress.

Select the Disabled in the dropdown.
