Get Serious: Think Before You Tweet

Thursday 31 January 2013 , , , , , , , , , , , 0 Comments


Have you ever had that moment where you read a tweet or a Facebook update, and immediately had the urge to drown yourself?

Despite the rise in social media activity these past few years, you’d think Netizens would have more common sense about what to post and what not to post on their profiles. But the truth is, my friends, that common sense is not really very common to start with.

Have you ever had that moment where you read a tweet or a Facebook update, and immediately had the urge to drown yourself? Despite t...

The Perks of Remote Maintenance

, 0 Comments


How does remote support work?
Recently, our company adopts e-payment when dealing with suppliers. This way, we are helping suppliers eliminate the need to travel for check collections and countless trips to the banks. It’s a small deed done from us for suppliers to save their time and cost. A little effort to reduce some processes might add user-friendliness element to the business world, be it environmentally by reducing carbon footprint, or efficiency by reducing time taken to complete the whole payment process.


On the same issue, I read this related article from Detektor, a security magazine, November/December 2012 issue entitled, “Remote Maintenance: The Key to 21st Century Customer Care”; which stated that despite the obvious benefits of using high-tech maintenance solutions, some installers are still reluctant to embrace the change. A desire for face-to-face interaction, tradition, and caution about the ramifications on their business model are the key hurdles to this hesitancy.

Keeping Holiday Productivity High With FingerTec

Wednesday 23 January 2013 , , , 0 Comments


During the holiday season, the time clock becomes more akin to an exam that you did not study for – the incentives to cheat it are higher. Employees want more time off, employers offer higher compensations for those working during the holidays, and everybody’s affected by the usual holiday spending. In other words, workers feel the extra pinch during the holiday season and want to take advantage of the higher wage offered during the period but do not want to spend too much of their holiday at work. What a conundrum! Bearing that in mind, some would assume that it is in some way okay to cheat the time clock. The lackadaisical enforcement of workplace rules during the holidays only adds to the potential for time theft.

Foreign Workers in Dubai
Our distributor in the UAE, Seven Seas Computer LLC, Business Development Manager, Abbas Mukadam agreed with my observation.  He says that Hindi should be the most commonly spoken language in the UAE, if you count Urdu, the Pakistani’s native tongue, which is quite similar to Hindi.

The United Arab Emirates, a country with expatriates constituting 91% of their population, with Indians and Pakistanis topping the ranks, Hindi language rubs off well on a number of Emiratis.

With a staff force of about 300, the CEO of Seven Seas, Mr. Nayagam Pillai, an Indian national, is accompanied with employees consisting of quite a number of fellow Indian nationals as well.

When a Cloud-y Vision is Awesome!

Tuesday 15 January 2013 , 0 Comments


A recent Facebook status update from a friend shocked me. Her phone was stolen! It was not the phone that matters; it’s what inside the phone that was immaterial. Apparently, she had lost all her contacts, her family pictures and videos for she had forgotten to back them up. Crying buckets and getting a good smack on the head will not bring those files back.

Being a first-time mother myself, I can definitely relate to how she felt about the situation. Some might view it as overdramatic, but losing something valuable that you couldn’t reproduce is just too depressing to bear. From that day onwards, I vow to back up all my files on iCloud in my effort to NOT lose any of the memories of my daughter’s growing up. For USD10 per year, I didn’t have any hesitation at all to subscribe to iCloud.

2013 – Another Year Full of Hope After a Failed Apocalypse, Apparently

Thursday 3 January 2013 0 Comments

2013 was celebrated with lots and lots of pyrotechnics rocking the city at exactly midnight on Tuesday. Millions of people thronged the city squares for the New Year parties; excited to enter 2013 with new resolutions they set in mind.

For those who were hoping to experience Armageddon, sorry to disappoint you but Aerosmith won’t be performing any “Farewell, World” songs. Haven’t anybody told you to not trust any random dead guy? Yeah, you still need to serve those loans and you still need to send your kids to school and not try drugs just yet. Life continues. The fact of the matter is life IS monotonous and plain for the most of us unless your name is Felix Baumgartner. And that Mayan guy’s prediction added a dash of excitement and ‘hope’ in our routine life. We need hope to look forward to the future. Without it, everyday is the end of the world for us, so to speak, isn’t it?

Resource Sharing

, , 0 Comments

As we embrace the coming year, our plan is to further enhance the concept of resource sharing.

Concept of Resource Sharing 
In the 21st century, with more information being produced in the digital format, rather than the conventional media, storage and retrieval system, it has fundamentally changed the characteristic of the information landscape. It sparked a paradigm-shift from the ownership of information to access of resources.

There are a lot of resources and components surrounding FingerTec hardware and software. Instead of merely a product supplier, we should consider ourselves an information provider. And digital technology and the Internet gives us the value-added enhancement to deliver adequate information more efficiently to our resellers and customers.

As we embrace the coming year, our plan is to further enhance the concept of resource sharing. Concept of Resource Sharing  In the 2...

Walking Green

, , , 0 Comments

Walking by the road
I walked 10 km last Saturday, 24th November. A fraction of the total 300km Green Walk from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur, a part of the anti-Lynas campaign against the setting up of the rare-earth processing plant in Kuantan, of which the by-product Thorium is harmful to the people and the environment.

I joined them at Hutan Rimba, the second last gathering point before they reached the final destination. They started the long march since 13th November; they had been on the road for a long 11 days. The oldest participant was 71 years old. She told her companion earlier, “If I died in the middle of the road, please carry my body with you to the Parliament.” And the Parliament was the final destination where they delivered the memorandum to the authority.

Using Attendance as a Yardstick for Staff’s Attributes

When all else fails, employees woud always resort to fake MC. Word of
advice to employersL Let the staff have their designated leaves, the
commitment will eventually follow (or we hope so)
During my primary school years, I judged absent students. A part of it was jealousy; another was suspicion. It was the consequence of my mum disapproval on any of my attempt to skip school. Worse still, my school presented an award for a student who excelled in attendance. I had never received such award but there were some special students who were given extra vitamins by their parents and never missed school for the whole year, who did receive that coveted honor. And my mum wouldn’t fail to give me a snide remark to remind me the importance of attendance, “One thing you never got, an attendance reward. If only you were a bit stronger,” she used to say, much to my distaste.  She was right, as always, attendance does show a whole lot about yourself than you are ready to admit.
