US OWNS YOUR DATA!

In a letter dated Thursday, the group, which includes the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the American Civil Liberties Union and the Business Travel Coalition, called on the House Committee on Homeland Security to ensure searches aren’t arbitrary or overly invasive. They also urged the passage of legislation outlawing abusive searches.

The letter comes 10 days after a US appeals court ruled Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have the right to rummage through electronic devices even if they have no reason to suspect the hardware holds illegal contents. Not only are they free to view the files during passage; they are also permitted to copy the entire contents of a device. There are no stated policies about what can and can’t be done with the data.

I hope the government takes some notice of the letter and the worries over this legislation, it is something that would bother a lot of people. Especially those from European countries where privacy is an utmost concern and strongly protected by the government.

The lack of guidelines as to what can be done with the data are worrying too, what if you have commercially valuable or proprietary information there…can they distribute it freely after copying it from you?

Several of the groups are also providing advice to US-bound travelers carrying electronic devices. The Association of Corporate Travel Executives is encouraging members to remove photos, financial information and other personal data before leaving home. This is good advice even if you’re not traveling to the US. There is no reason to store five years worth of email on a portable machine.

In this posting, the EFF agrees that laptops, cell phones, digital cameras and other gizmos should be cleaned of any sensitive information. Then, after passing through customs, travelers can download the data they need, work on it, transmit it back and then digitally destroy the files before returning.

The post also urges the use of strong encryption to scramble sensitive data, although it warns this approach is by no means perfect. For one thing, CBP agents are free to deny entry to travelers who refuse to divulge their passwords. They may also be able to seize the laptop.

WOW! Sabah is very wonderful and amazing place.

Sabah is a Malaysian state located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo. It is the second largest state in Malaysia after Sarawak, which it borders with on its south-west. It also shares a border with the province of East Kalimantan of Indonesia in the south. Sabah used to be a British crown colony known as North Borneo prior to partnership with Federation of Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore to form the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Its state capital is Kota Kinabalu, formerly known as Jesselton. Sabah is known as Sabah, negeri di bawah bayu, which means 'Sabah, land below the wind', because of its location being just south of the typhoon prone region around the Philippines.

I'm now often travel to Sabah for work. I can say that I travel to Sabah once a week. This time I visited ten (10) islands. Sounds like fun huh? Oh yeah! It is fun! So much fun! Really amaaazziinnggg places! Kapalai Island and Sipadan Island is the most spectacular and amazing place that I visited. I suggest if you plan to visit Sabah for holiday you better go to Kapalai Resort. In Kapalai there is one place that you can enjoy sunset. If you only knew how I feel :)






I have thank to the military for their co-operation and hospitality during my visits. Without them I will never feel so secured traveling from one island to another. Additionally, they provide me a food whenever I arrived to each islands. They are doing a good job on our border. Thank You a lot!

Sabah Trip

Last week I was travelling to Sandakan and Tawau for a business trip. During my trip, I was lucky to had opportunity to visits Sepilok, one of the biggest 'Orang Utan' territory.

The Orangutan are the two species of great apes known for their intelligence, long arms and reddish-brown hair. Native to Indonesia and Malaysia, they are currently found only in rainforests on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, though fossils have been found in Java, Vietnam and China. They are the only surviving species in the genus Pongo and the subfamily Ponginae (which also includes the extinct genera Gigantopithecus and Sivapithecus). Their name derives from the Malay and Indonesian phrase orang hutan, meaning "person of the forest".

Orangutans are the most arboreal of the great apes, spending nearly all of their time in the trees. Every night they fashion nests, in which they sleep, from branches and foliage. They are more solitary than the other apes, with males and females generally coming together only to mate. Mothers stay with their babies until the offspring reach an age of six or seven years. There is significant sexual dimorphism between females and males: females can grow to around 4 ft 2 in or 127 centimetres and weigh around 100 lbs or 45 kg, while fully mature males can reach 5 ft 9 in or 175 centimetres in height and weigh over 260 lbs or 118 kg.[7] Fully mature males can be distinguished by their prominent cheek flanges and longer hair.

I really recommended Sepilok to be one of your visiting place when you come for holiday to Sabah.
