Resource materials in TKL website

My website (www.tankinlian.com) contain useful resource materials. They are kept in PDF documents under the Information tab.

I am personally the biggest user of the resource materials. I get questions from consumers and journalists on a variety of topics. I refer to the resource materials to get the information that is needed to reply to the questions.
I also use the resource materials to write my books, articles, letters to the newspapers and to prepare for the educational talks that I give on many topics.

I am able to access the resource materials when I am overseas. I just go to the website, type in the keyword and get the PDF that I need.

I encourage corporations to have an active website to contain information for their customers and employees. This will make the corporation more accessible and can help to build up the business of the corporation. It is a wonderful tool that should not be neglected.

Extract the key information from a webpage

I wish to write a script (i.e. computer program) that can go to a webpage, extract the HTML code, and remove all advertisements, graphics and supplementary information - leaving only the key content of that page. This script will need an understanding of the structure of the HTML page and also some artificial intelligence. I will send the URL of the webpage to this script and it should return the text contained in the webpage.

If any expert knows how to write this script or wish to give it a try, send an e-mail to kinlian@gmail.com.

MacDonald's Monopoly Promotion

Dear Mr Tan,
Recently Mcdonalds is having Monopoly promotion. When we buy their value meal they will issue playing cards to us. One of the prize is a car Kia Soul 1.6L (auto) worth $50000. In order to win the car we have to collect 3 cards namely Holland Road M318, Orchard Road M319, Ardmore Park M320
I have collected two cards Holland Road M318 and Ardmore Park M320. I need the 3rd card Orchard Road M319 to win the car.  I will willing to share the money from the sale of the car equally between the holders of the three cards, after making a donation of $5000 to FISCA.
I know it will not be easy to win the car, but if we join together, we will have a much better chance to win together.

My comment
If anyone has the Orchard M319, please send an e-mail to kinlian@gmail.com. But I guess that this may be the most rare card.
