Support my work
I am a freelance journalist. I am not a full-time employee with any media organisation.
This gives me the freedom to be independent and to report and analyse online – directly to you, sometimes going “live” for hours during major events.
This is essentially a reader-supported blog, which carries no commercial advertisements. If you appreciate my independent writing and blogging, you may want to consider making a small contribution. These contributions help to cover the costs of operating this website (webhosting and domain name rental), company searches, travel expenses as well as time spent on research and writing.
And as traffic has increased, I have had to ensure web-hosting servers are upgraded to meet the extra demand. The usual server is now supplement by cloud servers that serve you pages faster than before. Security concerns mean that during peak periods, extra measures are needed to minimise the likelihood of “Denial of Service” attacks that could knock down the servers. For live blogging, another package is required to provide the platform.
So any contribution, no matter how big or small, is welcome! But so that there is no external influence or pressure, please no contributions from political parties, corporations or business interests. Low-income readers, don’t worry about contributing. Just pass the word around or ‘like’ the page.

Hi Anil, I read your comment on disappearing hornbills in the Belum/LakeTemenggor. Just to let you know I saw some at Temenggor on 2 separate occasions when I was there about a month or so ago. Pls reply to my email address so I can talk more.

Recently i read about the new major planned land reclaimation by E&O at the Tanjung Pinang foreshore. It would be great if you can help to provide more awareness on this project and how the various issues of Environmental Impact( siltatation…) and Economical benefit to the state… With the eastern forshore reclaimation the public has the ‘Jelutong Expressway’ to help alleviate the traffic congestion. With the 1st phase of the E&O reclaimation we did not see an obvious benefit… Perhaps a discussion can help to bring the transparency to a higher level…

Keep up the excellence.
I think you can draw even more attention (and hopefully more contribution) focusing on Penang plights/issues as they seem to generate the most interests.
All the best.

Hi Keith, haven’t got around to working it out yet, but I think less than the 2010 figure.

Hi Anil,
For your information and action.
Crime down??? Now this happened in Penang on Sunday and until today I cannot find it in The Star newspapers.
On Sunday a nurse from Loh Guan Lye Specialist Hosp in Penang was robbed and slashed in a fake accident around 6.30 am near Island Hospital.
This came to light when the hospital advised their staffs to be
aware & careful if they come across such fake accidents.
Nurse was passing along Macalister Road and nearing Island Hospital she saw a woman lying on the road.
Thinking that an accident has happened she stopped and approached the woman. As soon as she bend down she felt a hard knock on her head.
Seeing “stars” but still conscious, she felt someone picking her pockets.
Not satisfied with around RM 500 taken from her purse she was taken by the woman and her male accomplice to the ATM Machine and was forced to withdraw close to RM 2500+
Before releasing her, they put their mark on her by intentionally slashing all over one of her arm ( or arms )
IF THIS REALLY HAPPENED THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
And residents living in Taman Jesselton and Tanjong Bungah are scared stiff due many burglaries this past months
Again I cannot find the news anywhere
