Cinababi is a Malaysian term which originated on 13 May, 1969. This date is known as the "May 13 Racial Dishonest Assault Malaysia" M13RDAM. As we all know, Malaysia appears to be a "Multi Racial country". During the May 13 assault, racial issues between the Chinese and the Malays (known as babi) occurred. As a result, the Malaysian Malays fought an unjustified battle for racial preference. The Chinese on the other hand, held up a heroic defense. However, they were out numbered. .The Malays showed courage, they dwell-ed on the blood of those who chose to rebel on them. A mercy-full battle occurred Many lives were lost, many tears were shed-ed. Since then, the Malaysian Chinese were marginalised. In 2007, a Malaysian (currently in taiwan for further studies)
was remanded for stirring up racial issues by rapping a 5 minute song known as Negarakuku (My Country) Wee Meng Chee, a Malaysian Chinese was detained by the notorious Internal Security Act (ISA) law of Malaysia. This is truly an unjustified act of treason. It is impossible to ensure racial harmony when the voices of the public are being ignored;
even backfired. The rest of the world may look upon Malaysia as a "Multi Racial Country", a country where peace and harmony is found everywhere. Sadly, the proven fact is, with political and economical favouritism, it is not possible to establish a peaceful multi racial community.




CinaBabi generally means, Chinese Pig. "Cina" = Chinese, and "Babi" = Pig. This term was used by the Malaysian Chinese during the May 13 incident as a "symbol" of loyalty to the Chinese race. "CinaBabi" is associated with the Malaysian Chinese mainly because "Babi" (pigs) are strictly abhorred by the Muslim society. Therefore, it also acts as a word of criticism to the Malays. During the May 13 devastation, when someone addresses you as a "CinaBabi", it means that you’re a faithful Malaysian Chinese. It's often used as a motivational word to encourage them to strive for equal constitutional rights.




CinaBabi today
Living in the 21st century, in the era of mass globalisation. the term "CinaBabi" has gone through many modifications in both meaning and ways of using it. However, it is finalised that the term "CinaBabi" today resembles the extremist Chinese in Malaysia. As we all know, the Japan/Hong Kong entertainment and fashion industry is currently making a massive influence in the global market, especially on youths. No doubt in Malaysia that many of the Chinese teenagers, even adults choose to dress or live the lifestyles of famous Japan/Hong Kong models. These POSERS are often labeled as "Ah lians", "Lalas", "Ah bengs" ETC. (Take note: these words of criticisms are said by the Malaysian CHINESE, not MALAYS.) This is because; most English educated Chinese in Malaysia finds it annoying. They claim that the "POSERS" are mentally brainwashed or too "Chinesy", as they don’t want to be compared to the wild, uneducated native citizens of china. They are proud to live as a Malaysian Chinese with westernised education. In short, it projects to the Chinese families in Malaysia with 0-10% of English education. Sadly, the term "CinaBabi", once a symbol to all the Malaysian Chinese, Once a word that unites the Chinese, had became a harsh word used by the English educated Chinese in Malaysia to criticise their own race.


CinaBabi 2020
Visions are made, as natural beings tend to look into the future and strive for greater achievements in life. The same goes to the "Cinababies", no doubt they had tried to improve by changing their look in some sort of way to attract attention. As the "Cinababies", "Ah lians", "Lalas", "Ah bengs" share one common goal: to be Cute, Oriented, Captivated, Kawaii. (COCK). Recently, the emotional factor was sadly discovered. WIth these recent events, the Japan/HongKong entertainment industry are ought to undergo a massive boost. Many would show, objections, disinclinations, malevolence towards this misleading unjudgemental behaviour. However, hope is still alive, a hope that one day this term will once again show its unity,bond and diligence for everyone in Malaysia.

D-Day Normandy, alternatively known as dday, is a team-based Quake II modification made by ViperSoft. Although no longer being officially developed, the modification continues to expand through the work of many members in the established community. The source code for the last official version was released on July 24, 2002, allowing third party developers full control over the gameplay.

Gameplay

The game has no single player mode, only online multiplayer. Two teams fight over bombarded towns, woodland and other World War II scenery. The official version includes only two teams: Allies (Americans) and Axis (Germans), although third party modifications have been created for Russian, British, Japanese and Polish teams. Different maps have different objectives, sometimes not all of which are kill-based.

All teams have set classes (some numbers are restricted);
* Infantry (unlimited): Rifle,
* Officer (Max 1): Submachinegun, pistol and binoculars (for air-strikes),
* Light Gunner (Max 2): Light machinegun,
* Heavy Gunner (Max 2): Heavy machinegun,
* Sniper (Max 2): Sniper rifle and pistol,
* Airborne (Max 1): Submachinegun,
* Engineer (Max 1): Anti-tank weapon, pistol and TNT,
* Medic (Max 4): Morphine,
* Flamethrower (Max 1): Flamethrower.

Each team has different player models and weapons, making for a total of over 50 different weapons. For example, a German officer is armed with an MP40, while his American equivalent will be armed with a Tommy gun.

Features

D-Day: Normandy is a of the original Quake II game. All of the models, textures and maps in the official version are of original creation. Unique features include airstrikes, 3 different stances (standing, crouched and prone) and true sight (ability to aim down the sight of the weapon instead of a crosshair).

Distributions
Since 100% of the artwork in the modification is original and the source code to the original game has been released, it is possible for the game to be distributed as a standalone game: Owning a copy of Quake II is not required to play. There are several different distributions of the game. Some include just the bare bones to play the game, others include every map and expansion ever created. The original standalone can be found at the official site.

Third party modifications
There are several different versions of the server-side code, each focusing on different aspects on the game. Most include various bug fixes along with a range of (sometimes unusual) features. For example; the SHAEF modification includes visuals of a dive bomber dropping the air-strikes instead of just audio, while the Capture The Church (CTC) mod makes maps including a church to be objective based (overriding the gameplay specified in the map itself).

The very first screen shot of the SHAEF aircraft recorded in a game is here Viper vs Stuka - other aircraft modelled include the Spitfire and the Zero.

Unique rules
D-Day: Normandy is unusual in the way that a lot of the rules for the game are not server enforced, in that they require discipline from the players. The game was designed to be played in a non-deathmatch style (common of the FPS genre). This causes endless problems for both new and old players: The new players (newbies) do not know, understand or follow the self-imposed game rules, causing veteran players to become angry with them.

The following are examples of actions which are possible, but are not encouraged styles of play:
* Bunnying - Constant jumping in an attempt to avoid fire. Although this is somewhat limited by a stamina meter, it remains a problem.
* Diving - Changing stance mid-jump in an attempt to avoid fire.
* Camping - Staying in one spot with a specific tactical advantage.

As well as rules non specific to dday:
* Team killing - Intentionally killing members of your own team (also known as tk-ing).
* Cheating - Using aimbots or wallhacks to gain an unfair advantage
* Spamming - Mindless chatter, often taunting after a frag

Current state

It is a common joke to state that "dday is dead". This comes from the fact that because of developments in computer game graphics, the game has become unpopular and only has a small player base in the Northern Hemisphere. There are still a large number (20+) of servers hosting games around the world, although it can sometimes be difficult to find one with enough people for a serious game.

After ViperSoft stopped developing the game, most of the development shifted over to D-Day Dev Central (DDC).

Most trained street medics are independent. They work at actions with a non-medical affinity group, or only form buddy pairs or groups at an action.

However, some groups of medics have formed permanent groups. These groups often bottom-line actions, train new medics, support smaller local demonstrations, educate activists about traumatic stress, and promote free community-based healthcare between actions. Each street medic group is entirely independent. However, groups who identify themselves as "street medic" or "action medic" groups are expected to abide by similar codes of ethics.

This list of street medic organizations is organized by location and alphabetically. The list includes groups founded and run by street medics within the last 50 years, which have survived for more than 1 month / 1 action. Many are still active as of Nov 2006.
