  hmm... i downloaded this Firefox extension which lets me know where the server is located whenever i mouse over a link...
  
  to my surprise.... miw.com.sg is based in Semarang, Indonesia.
  
  isn't it weird that mindef personnel website is located in a foreign country??

  Just type "geolocation" in the Search box and then tell it to search in "Extensions". It's the only search result.
  
  The full name of the extension is "HostIP.info geolocation plugin".

  OK, I swear that whatever server this location plugin gets its info from is rigged.
  
  Just take a look at these:
  
  www.mindef.gov.sg
  
  
  www.ntu.edu.sg

  I think the plugin just shows whatever the server is programmed to show.
  
  just like "ping" in IRC.
  
  wait.... or was it "whois"... kinda forgot liao.
