Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I have just watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull yesterday night.

I am a fan of the Indiana Jones series, since I watched them in RTM2
when I was a kid, and played the LucasArts Indiana Jones' game as well.

However, I would rate this movie a 5/10.

I find that the plot of the story doesn't make sense.

The old man (friend of Indy whom became mad) was said to have been to the temple where there are the crystal skulls.

He supposedly reached inside and saw the alien there, but then managed to return back to the place where he found the skull originally.

However, towards the end, when the Ukrainian girl placed the skull back to the skeleton, she was instead incinerated by the alien.

So, this brings to mind, why didn't the old man replace the skull back to the skeleton when he reached the temple? If he did, why wasn't he killed by the alien?

All in all, the movie's plot had too many loopholes that it made the film seems childish.

Melaka Land Office Mistake again?

"Some 36 property owners, whose buildings' back portions on the Malacca River’s reserve along Lorong Hang Jebat have been earmarked for demolition, want the state to spell out its plans.

One owner, Ken Lai, 55, said the 30-day notice calling for the demolition was unreasonable.

“The Malacca River project has been going on for two years and the authorities never mentioned anything although measuring the area six times,” he said here yesterday.

In February, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam had degazetted acquisition of 143 properties in Lorong Hang Jebat, Jalan Kampung Pantai and Jalan Kampung Hulu.

He admitted that the land office had made a mistake as the Jan 17 notice of acquisition was for abandoned or derelict buildings only."

Yeah right, it's just another "mistake" on the land office part.
