Here’s a quick shout out to my web host Exabytes who won a prize in the Emerging SME category for the 2007 Golden Bull Awards.Â
I’ve found Exabytes to provide great value and good service. Definitely one of the better web hosts in Malaysia. Keep up the great work and keep my sites up and running [...]
The Star featured a pull-out today on e-KL, the Malaysian Government’s attempt at an e-Government initiative. The initiative is being spearheaded by MAMPU, the Malaysian Administrative, Modernisation and Management Planning Unit.
“The public will now only need their mouse to navigate through government websites to run their daily official needs,” proclaimed The Star.

I spoke to one of Celcom’s Product Development managers last week and he revealed that Celcom was working on a project that will be unveiled at the end of the month. HSDPA perhaps? I’m guessing it will more likely be a major content deal since they’ve demonstrated great savvy in their recent marketing tie-ups.

Malaysian banking giant Maybank has launched myzone, a financial portal for teenagers aged 12-18. The launch comes with a web design contest where the public can submit ideas/designs for the myzone website.
Personally, I think that the design is ok, but the code is from the last decade. Table-based design, obtrusive Javascript and so many popups! [...]
It’s the Starbucks Coffee Break and Starbucks Malaysia is giving each customer who walks into its stores between 10am and 12pm on Thursday, 15 March, a freshly-brewed, tall Coffee of the Week for free!
If your SmartTAG doesn’t register when crossing the first toll on the KL-Seremban highway, you’ll incur a penalty that depletes the amount of remaining credit left on your Touch ‘n Go card. Don’t ask me how I know.
Development turning up the heat on Malaysian cities:

Astro subscribers may find several of their channels have gone missing and instead have a black screen due to the satellite service’s recent migration from Measat-1 to the new Measat-3. Luckily, there’s a simple fix.
Finally, a clear answer to haze.
After countless meetings and talks over the past 11 years, Asean has finally come up with the most tangible plan so far to fight the region’s annual haze problem.

Most Female Students With Disciplinary Problems Admit To Having Sex
The Star’s article, Googling for growth, looks like one of those articles where the PR team exchange high fives and back slaps because they’ve spun what seems to be a great story, and succeeds in pushing up the company’s stock price.
The story is about Malaysian e-marketplace provider AsiaEP Bhd, who is launching their it@h B2B [...]
