Looks like the new Selangor State Government has a brand new website . Well, not very surprising! And, it's always good to have a tech savvy government, of course!Here's a better one - Selangor's Ex-MB Khir Toyo has started blogging so that he can "berbicara mengenai masa depan negara dan perjuangan UMNO sebagai wadah politik" No. No. No. I'm not making stories and don't ask me if he resigned all his UMNO posts to be a full time blogger, after all.Have a look for yourself at http://www.drkhir...

No one, including myself expected such a drastic change in malaysian politics. BN has lost its 2/3 majority for the first...
One more day of campaigning and that's it. March 8, the big day; the mother of all elections I would say. In fact, this 12th General Election might be the dirtiest ever with fickle minded SPR's 11th hour decision to cross out the usage of indelible ink. I'll be traveling down 456 km to exercise my voting rights, for the first time! I'm kinda exited about it :) If you are voting this coming Saturday, make sure you choose the best candidate for...
