They already have a Singapore data center. Why do you think I can get directions from my uncle's house to Orchard Road (their shopping district) via Google Maps but can't even get directions from my house in Klang to my workplace in Puchong?

Do they? I import CDs and DVDs off Amazon all the time and encountered no such problems. The packages arrived sealed and unopened (although they may open the envelope for checking the CD label).

Sure, Malaysia has sh!tty internet connection, but Google coming in could actually up be doing us Malaysians a favor by means of giving TMNut (local geek-speak for TMNet stemming from their unreliable and expensive service) hell by forcing the nut to provide better connection. And for one at least expose TMNut for the liars they are (those imbeciles are calling 1MBPS "Broadband". How? Last I heard the broadband consortium is rising the specs of "Broadband" to 5MBPS minimum).

Plus, I want to work for Google. I tried applying for a post in their Singapore data center (yes, they already have one there) but they wouldn't consider, and I don't want to be stuck in a country where it takes 4 hours to download one stupid Maple Story game client, and the only IT jobs available are all Windows oriented :( I want to play with the Penguins :(
