AirAsia's @tonyfernandes responds directly to a customer issue, promising to rectify it (after Christmas).

Compare and contrast Steve Jobs'

"Change your apps name. Not that big of a deal."

;D.

Well done, Tony Fernandes.

PIX of @projecthopemy Launch by @sivinkit. @melchica @eechia @sochews @gregorychang

I didn't bring my camera last night.
Didn't even charge it!

Thankfully, Sivin's always poking his nose- I mean, always photo-documenting everything!

Go there for pix!

"I can give you nothing because you want nothing."

"I can give you nothing because you want nothing." 

This was what my wife said, the other day. It was over something mundane - about passing food to someone who couldn't make up their mind about what they wanted. And yet these words struck me profoundly. 

How do you give something to someone who doesn't want it? You can't. You might leave it at their feet, but it will go to waste. They have no place in their mind for it. 

Likewise freedom, likewise hope. How do you give these gifts to someone who has no hunger for them? 

Fed on a steady diet of life's junk food, the pursuers of purely material, temporal riches have no hunger for something beyond, and so have no capacity to receive it. 

Individually and collectively, we've got to cultivate a hunger for freedom, justice and hope. Lest we starve to death on a diet of cash and concrete.

Enough despair. Tweet your HOPE for Malaysia! [updated]

I want to talk to you about hope - if you're a Malaysian or interested in Malaysia. I'm involved in The Hope Project, which is an artistic effort aimed at raising the temperature of hope among Malaysians and Malaysia-lovers. 

The project involves: 

- A book of writings and photography. 
- A custom-designed tee shirt (I’ve seen the initial sketches - it’s wild). 
- A web site with video interviews (professionally done). 

All these are in production. The website will be up in due course, followed by the book and tee in selected venues. I’ll be tweeting about these at http://twitter.com/alphalim 

Help, I need somebody! 

Where I would like to ask for your help is in the matter of writings on hope: Please tweet your take on hope. Answer one or two or three of these questions: 

- What is "hope" to you? 
- What do you hope for? 
- What will you do to make that hope a reality? 

Please tweet with the hashtag #hopemy and it will be picked up. It may be included either in the book, the website or both; with credit to your Twitter username. [Legalese: By tweeting thus, you agree that your tweet may be used in The Hope Project.] 

There's enough negativity around. Let's do what we can to raise HOPE among Malaysians! We owe it to our children's children. 

Tweet #hopemy!

(If you are not on Twitter, please feel free to leave your contribution as a comment below.)
