This year Earth Hour falls on the 27th of March 2010 at 8.30pm. It is led by WWF Internationally and WWF-Malaysia,here at home.

What was refreshing is that the team constantly put the Vietnamese under preasure and pushed forward at every opportunity. The goal came from a own goal by the Vietnamese but dont take any credit away from the Malaysian boys who preasured Mai Xuan Hop to putting the ball into his own net. Continue reading »

Whats interesting to me is Tony Fernandes who sits on the 15th spot and you can sense that he is going to be climbing the list steadily considering how he is diversifying into various businesses besides his baby, Air Asia. Next years list should be a interesting read considering the economic slow down.
Should show who gained and who lost from the turmoil.
