MyDistress – A Smart Technology For A Safer You!

Monday, September 5th, 2011 763 views

This is another initiative done by our government to fight crime or provide assistance to those who’s in need in the fastest way thru mobile! MyDistress connects you directly to police for emergency alerts “just with clicks”!

*Only Available in Selangor now!

My Distress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!


Press ‘MyDistress’ and cops will respond fast

One of the key challenges when requesting emergency assistance is communication. When out in the streets, sometimes you are unsure of the exact location that you are in, which is then difficult for the rescue team to find you quickly.

When in scenario such as kidnap, where you could not speak or communicate your movement, you could not alert the rescue team of your movement for rescue operation.

When one is in distress, you could be too traumatized to speak or for individuals with hearing or speech impaired, it would be tough to communicate calmly to the rescue team. Hence, with MyDistress, you could alert the police department of your emergency situation with just a click.

My Distress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!

Requesting for police help today requires one to dial 999 to provide info & location. Often,it’s difficult to state location due to stressful situations,for uncertainty of exact location. In extreme situation,it’s impossible to speak up for assistance of fear of own safety. Hence,a solution is needed to streamline this process for police help,and pinpoint the exact location.

I myself have been in such situation whereby we need to provide a lot of information when dialing for help, but that time I’m not certain of the police station area and dialed to the wrong police station and was told that they are not in charge of that area and I have to waste time to call to the correct police station again! This apps definitely help us in such situation! One word of advise : please note the police station that in charge of your area and save the number to your mobile!


Hit HELP Responsibility! Use of MyDistress should be an emergency.

An Emergency is when crime is happening, someone suspected of a crime nearby, someone is injured, being threatened or in danger.

You should use MyDistress service to alert police in situation when you need an immediate response-if a crime/incident is happening now or if anyone/property is in imminent danger.

If a person misuse MyDistress whereby the request for immediate response is not an action deemed emergency, PDRM reserves the right to suspend MyDistress services to the user.

MyDistress is a service by the Royal Malaysia Police, Selangor Contingent in an effort to keep Selangor safer. Any abuse and/or misuse of MyDistress will divert crucial resourses of the Police which can be better utilised for situations of real emergencies.Pursuant thereto, please use MyDistress responsibly.

MyDistress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!
When outdoor, in life threatening condition requesting emergency assistance, use the personal alert for assistance.

MyDistress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!
The personal alert tracks your movement in case you are being transported unwillingly Note: MyDistress do not track your location/movement unless you use the application (refer privacy policy).

MyDistress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!
For indoor, use preset location to register your property or venues that might be vulnerable, for exact location within the building for quick alert.

MyDistress - A Smart Technology For A Safer You!
When you are not at your preset location, and when support is required at preset location, preset location alert highlights that assistance is required at preset location and not your current location.

I think this is a very good initiative and good way to fight the crime if all the smartphone users fully utilized it and don’t misuse it!

Speedy help via smartphones

SHAH ALAM: Your smartphone is the SOS you need in times of danger just tap a key and the police will be able to locate you wherever you are.

Selangor police have pioneered a new application for smartphones to enable the public to have easy access to the police in high-risk situations.

Officer in charge of NKRA, Deputy Supt Mohamed Mokhsein Mohamed Zon, said the software dubbed MyDistress was compatible with Android, Apple, Symbian and BlackBerry smartphone operating systems.

“We co-developed the application with mobile phone software developer Convep Mobilogy Sdn Bhd.

My Distress

“The purpose of this device is to assist the public who may need our assistance if they face situations like being robbed, house break-ins, abducted or even kidnapped,” he said, adding that it took one year to complete the development of the application.

DSP Mohamed Mokhsein said the application was capable of transmitting the GPS coordinates of any person who had installed it in a smartphone if the distress feature had been activated.

He said the application was capable of giving an accurate location of any individual who uses it.

Police had been testing it since March to ensure it would be ready for use, DSP Mohamed Mokhsein added.

My Distress

Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the application could be used for free within the eight police districts in Selangor until January next year.

“We developed this application to make it easy for the public to get police access if they are in imminent danger and to enable the police to respond fast to life and death situations.

“At the click of a button, anyone can report to us their exact location so that we can get to them as fast as possible,” he said, adding that the application was meant to be used in high-risk situations only.

DCP Tun Hisan said the application could be used within Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Serdang, Gombak, Ampang Jaya, Kajang, Klang and Shah Alam police districts currently.

The application would eventually cost RM2 monthly beginning next year, he said.

He also said 50 police patrol cars had been equipped with GPS to ensure they get to the right locations.

“We are working together with Pemandu to equip the rest of our patrol cars with GPS as well,” he said.

Anyone interested in downloading the application can visit http://mydistress.net on their smartphones.

智慧手機下載‧雪州警方“My Distress”程式‧有難求救警方

(雪蘭莪‧沙亞南24日訊)雪州警方今天正式推介“My Distress”緊急求助服務,智慧型手機用戶可上網下載應用程式,並在註冊後與警方連線;一旦手機用戶身陷險境,可啟動“SOS緊急”紅色按鍵,警方即可通過全球衛星定位系統(GPS)追蹤其所在位置,馬上展開救人行動。

智慧型手機用戶可下載

智慧型手機用戶可上網到http://mydistress.net下載應用程式。

雪州總警長拿督頓希山說,任何面對或目睹險境如性命受到威脅、破門行竊、被可疑人士跟蹤或緊急事故者,都可以利用智慧型手機呼叫警方。
不過,他慎重提醒,警方謝絕遇到非緊急事件的用戶發出訊號,比如車子沒油、車輪爆胎等,以免浪費警力。
他說,雪州警方是在今年3月試跑測驗這項計劃,並取得不俗成果。

因此,他鼓勵智慧手機用戶下載“My Distress”“身陷險境專用”應用程式,以便能夠在面對險境時,不驚動匪徒之下向警方發出求救訊號。
他今早在雪州警察總部主持“My Distress”推介儀式時說,國內的智慧型手機用戶佔50%;因此,警方必須迎上通訊科技的進步,摒除與人民在電話出現溝通障礙。

須開啟衛星定位系統

他指出,只要是黑莓、蘋果、Android和Java智慧型手機用戶,即日可鍵入http://mydistress.net下載應用程式,但使用時必須開啟全球衛星定位系統(GPS)和網絡(Internet)。
“當他們在遇到緊急情況,通過手指輕點求救鍵鈕時,求救訊號將發送到雪州警察總部接收中心,而執勤警員可在接收中心的全球衛星定位系統大熒幕顯示求助者的所在位置時,馬上通知警車前往施救。”

“當警車到場時,也請用戶立刻關閉求救訊號。”

8警區設接收中心

頓希山說,除了雪州警察總部接收中心,8個警區包括沙亞南、巴生、梳邦再也、八打靈再也、加影、安邦再也、沙登和鵝嘜警區總部也個別設有接收中心,可在第一時間感應求救訊號並通知警車。
“雪州罪案熱點區犯罪率高達73%,相信隨著推出這計劃將有助監控犯罪活動還雪州安寧。”
同時,他促請用戶如果暴露在高風險的地區,應該事先開啟全球衛星定位系統並註冊“身陷險境專用”主目錄的地點設置,讓警方掌握個人最新位置。

BlackBerry users hit by outage

Thursday, December 24th, 2009 1,917 views

BlackBerry outage

Hmm I was wondering why my BlackBerry constantly connected and disconnected from the network and most of the time only I could get “edge” in small cap instead of “EDGE” big cap. When you see “EDGE” meaning you are connected to the network and able to send / receive emails and surf and IM or twitter. Arghhh, what happened to Research in Motion – RIM?

I have been searching high and low and found some source said it’s North America, but how come I can’t be connected to “EDGE” and affected? I’m not sure whether my case is related or not, but I don’t see any other BlackBerry users complaining about it?? Are you are BlackBerry user? Can you confirm whether is there any outage these few days? It’s really driving my crazyyyy….!

BlackBerry users hit by eight-hour outage

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

* BlackBerry didn’t give reason for outage, which ended around 2:45 a.m. ET
* At one point, 100% of North American customers were affected
* A similar outage hit BlackBerry system last week
* Research in Motion says it has about 32 million global BlackBerry subscribers

(CNN) — BlackBerry customers throughout North America were without e-mail and Internet services for more than eight hours after a widespread outage that lasted until early Wednesday.

Customers began receiving e-mails again around 2:45 a.m. ET. Initial reports of outages came from BlackBerry around 6:30 p.m.

BlackBerry did not give a reason for the outage. It was the second such outage for users in less than a week.

At one point, BlackBerry estimated 100 percent of its customers in North America were affected by the outage, according to an e-mail sent to customers.

“BlackBerry subscribers may be unable to send or receive messages. Subscribers may also be unable to register their device, roam in another location, or use other services such as Internet browsing,” the e-mail said.

“BlackBerry Internet Service subscribers may be unable to use the BlackBerry Internet Service web site or perform activities such as creating new accounts, integrating third-party email accounts, or viewing email attachments.”

Research in Motion Ltd., maker of the devices, said it had about 32 million global BlackBerry subscribers as of the end of August.

BlackBerry phones run on multiple wireless carriers, including AT&T, Sprint Nextel and Verizon.

*Terms & Condition
“Pay the full price of the Blackberry® CurveTM 8520 at RM 1,199 to enjoy a RM 300 rebate over a 12- month period. Only available for package subscription of 12-month and above.” By saying this, meaning there’s a commitment for you and you need to use 12 months in order for you to get the rebate if not that BlackBerry Curve 8520 is priced @ RM1,199

So you need to pay RM1,199 upfront and they will rebate you over a 12 months period.

When will the rebate be given?
The rebate will be given at the end of each monthly Prepaid BIS subscription period across the 12-month contract prior to subscription renewal. RM25 for 12 months (RM300). If the monthly Prepaid BIS subscription renewal fails at the end of the subscription period, renewal will be retried for 5 days.

Conclusion

- Xpax no commitment needed for RM998, Hotlink need to stay for 12months to enjoy cheaper phone.
- If opt for BIS premium you need to pay RM98 for Hotlink but you only need to pay RM75+- (e.g. RM2.50*30)
- In the premium plan : Xpax give your more flexibility without worrying you exceed the usage where it give you 1GB per day vs Hotlink 1.5GB per month, if you exceed the usage be prepared to pay the high price but a lot of BlackBerry users who use for push mail and all saying that it’s using very minimum of the usage 5MB.

Additional Info :
1) If you already own a blackberry phone but not purchase from Hotlink, and want to subscribe to Hotlink Blackberry Plan, you are not allowed to do so. On the other hand, for Xpax, you can subscribe to their Blackberry plan regardless of whether it was purchased from them or not.

Package Include :
1 Charger
1 USB Cable
1 Battery
1 Handsfree
1 2GB microSD

It’s a good phone and I really like that track pad compared to track ball, I tested the track ball with my friend’s BlackBerry Bold not so sensitive and the ball will be dirty and need to be replace. The camera is 2.0 Mega Pixel without any flash or LED light, it’s best to take in bright lighting condition. The download speed is still bearable at 128kbps with Xpax BlackBerry Social RM1 or Advance RM2.50 plans, sometimes it might takes awhile to load.

The lacking features in this phone is just 3G (no video calls and only using EDGE or GPRS connection) and GPS. Overall this is a good entry level phone looking at the price and it worth every cent that you paid for. I need to re-charge my BlackBerry everyday due to high usage and can’t leave without it! =)

Free apps that you might interested for your BlackBerry Curve 8520 : -
- Google Sync
- Google Gmail For Mobile
- Google Map
- UberTwitter
- Facebook version 1.7
- MSN Messenger
- BBM Version 5 (New version)
