COMPUTERS

The technological era has seen its turmoil in the past few years, yet the advantages
of computers are still impeccable. We have had an enormous growth in the last five
decades since the introduction of computers in our daily lives.
For one, computers have definitely eased off the burden of many corporate
conglomerates. From accounting to presentation, computers are used on a daily
basis to fast track the everyday activities of any organisation. This has quickened
productivity and increased profits for these organisations in recent years.
Another positive attribute of computer is its mobility in terms of laptops and
Smartphones which inevitably has helped in communication around the world. With
just a click, a person can gain access to hundreds and thousands of information
available on the internet. The mobility of laptops and smartphones has granted users
to do this anywhere they are.
Computer is also a very handy device to be used for any entertainment purposes.
From watching movies to listening to music, computer does it all. Some entertainers
around the world have used this invention to the best of its efficiency.
On the other hand, computer is also used for storing information for retrieval
later on. This device has limited data storage, though the space can be as low as
60 gigabytes to a massive few hundred terabytes. It enables individuals to store
masses of data ranging from office folders to Blu-ray movies
In a nutshell, computer has definitely deemed its best in today's world. It has
helped in the future of technology and has been a huge stepping-stone for us to
enter into a world of easy communication.

secrets. Is it easy or ditficult to keep? Why is it that some information can pass us off easily

but there are some which haunts us, and kills us slowly to the point that we have to share

it with someone? The only problem is, once shared, our lives will be in danger.

The story of Ken and Mali is nothing new in the arm forces in Sabah. Both were trained

army officers, with guerrilla warfare training, Special Forces for the royal families, and

lastly, they were also personal bodyguards for some famous people. 35 Growing
up together in the same village, they often depended on each other. Which was why 30

years down the road, as trained specialised guerrilla veterans, Mali thought that Ken could

be trusted. Little did he know that he was very wrong.

It was Mali who wanted a part of the drug money. The cartel in Sabah had grown over

time; to the point that authorities had lost control to the huge network of narcotics which

had been going on around the Southern islands of Sabah. | 36 He was supposed

officers, we can't be seen with criminals!"

"Relax, it's only some extra pocket money"

Ken was not going to be a part of this.
Mali casually brushed him off. However,
37 With this in mind, he was also stuck because Mali was his best friend. What

should he do?

38 There was no way he was going to allow a person to ruin the future of

others with drugs, be it his best friend. In the course of time, Ken slowly managed to

capture the assailants who were behind the network of gangsters around Sabah. Many of

them fell to victims of shootings or some were incarcerated for life. No sooner than that,

Mali knew, he would be next.

It was that unfortunate night that the whole plan foiled. Mali
was was supposed to pick
up the parcel in the hartbour. He knew that no matter what happened, Ken would be out to

protect him. On this unfortunate night though, things had taken a toll. 39 Mali

was surrounded by a huge police force.

0 He kept his fingers crossed that Ken would be out there. True enough, he

was. Pointing a gun at him.

"Ken ...
W-what are you doing?"
"T'm sorry Mali. Our secret is safe no more.
Betraying the country...I think it isn't wrong
if I betrayed you."
With that, Ken pulled the trigger.
