Didnt expect to see Metacafe up there together with the most visited sites! And its funny how Malaysiakini is “Mainstream Media” now 
Last night, 17th of September was the Suarakami Concert which was held at Stadium Merdeka. This concert which featured in the infamous Malaysian Boy song amongst a host of local and International artist. There was an eventful concert indeed with the PM making a surprise visit from a invitation on twitter. One piece of drama that which was very interesting was with Nelly. The international artist made some headlines with his twitter remarks which stirred things up. It all started with this one :
Nelly was obviously not aware of Malaysians and did not do his home work prior to coming to Malaysia.
Check out the rest of the drama [Read more...]
Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1, 1963, but was later postponed to August 31, 1963, in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka.
Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration to September 16 of the same year. The postponement was also done to allow the United Nations team time to conduct referendums in North Borneo (now Sabah) and Sarawak regarding the two states participation in a new federation.
A landmark day in our history which didn’t have much recognition till recently when it was declared a public holiday and many started talking and finding out more about this bit of history.
Singapore left Malaysia 2 years later due to a rocky relationship due to differences between the island state and the Malaysian leaders. Singapore got their Independence on 9 August 1965.
It makes me wonder if we would have been in a totally different position that we are in today if Singapore was still part of Malaysia, my gut feeling tells me we would have been a much more progressive nation but that’s only my opinion.
Selamat Hari Malaysia!

So while many parts of the world countries have different weather season’s, in Malaysia we have the Haze as part of our weather calendar. It comes a few times a year and in different intensities. We right now are experiencing some massive haze due to as usual, fire’s from Sumatera.
The haze that envelops the Klang Valley, the northern states in the peninsula, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan is caused by trans-border smoke pollution from the fires in Sumatra, Indonesia.

According to the Department of Environment , 22 stations with 44 per cent good API readings and 28 stations with 56 per cent moderate air quality readings. The reading is considered unhealthy when it goes above 100.
Its becoming a bit of a pain in my opinion that it’s happening in loops now and nothing is being done to stop this for happening. I sure hope the governments are looking into the matter, while there are massive environmental issues, there are massive health issues as well!
I sure can’t stand the haze season!
