Daily Digest: Kournikova comments on M'sian race relations!; This is why you're fat: the book; web-host GeoCities falls

Tuesday is here. Let's get right down to it, before the inertia of the day gets to us:

  • Tragedy: a bridge collapse in Kuala Dipang (an hour for Ipoh) during a school camping trip has resulted two students missing and one dead. Interestingly, the camping trip seems to have been billed as a 1Malaysia thing. [Malaysian Insider]
  • Another case of domestic-maid abuse: Indonesian national Mantik Hani, found locked in the toilet of a house in Taman Sentosa, died in hospital on Monday. Wow, Malaysians. This sort of thing reflects badly on all of us. [The Star]
  • Passe tennis star Anna Kournikova comments on race relations in Malaysia: “(Malaysian men are) very cute but at the end of the day, it is all about the person and it has nothing to do with the race." [The Star]
  • Oh, ew. Online documentator of the Gross Food movement, This is why you're fat, now has a realspace book, collecting "recipes, local favourites, and stories from the dishes' creators". Just, ew. [Eat Me Daily]
  • The-Internet-sets-us-free-sort-of filter: AsiaPacificFilms.com offers free access (until November 1) to a vast online library of classic celluloid from our neck of the woods. "Fact: 95 percent of these films are never seen outside of their own countries." [CNET Asia]
  • Oh goodness. Remember GeoCities, from the Stone Age of the late 1990s? The "vintage Web-hosting site" shuts down for good today.  It was a younger, more enthusiastic time, then. Say adieu to web rings, visitor counters and guest books ... [CNN]
  • Old-but-gold news from the cyborgs down south: Singapore's North Vista Primary School has incorporated Nintendo Wiis into their Physical Education (PE) curriculum. The school's principal: "We don't want what we teach in school to be so isolated from real life." [AsiaOne]

What do you think is the best way to reduce road accidents this festive season?
  Provide discount for toll prices at night to ease traffic congestion during the day
  Ban heavy vehicles from using the highways during peak hours
  Set up more roadblocks and ensure that speedtrap units are clearly visible and obvious
  Safety campaigns at every highway R&R
  Free coffee at petrol stations along the highway and rest areas
