Introduction to this blog

Since GE 13 is pretty near, Malaysians are anxious to get it over and done with. With whatever info I've got, I will try my best to share to everyone. The interest in Malaysian Politics have grown over the past 5 years since the 308 Elections where historic gains by the Pakatan Rakyat has triggered massive interest especially among the young and educated. 

Many have registered themselves to vote and hence the importance of this coming GE 13 is enormous. The mass participation of young malaysians will directly influence the future of this country. 

Since 2 years ago, massive campaigns have been carried out by the different parties in Malaysia. BN, the current ruling government with the might of the state machinery have been relentlessly try to recover the losses they suffered in the last GE, while Pakatan continued from where they started, a push for a possible win in the coming general election. 

It may look like an uneven contest, but with the emergence of social media such as facebook, twitter, etc and the increased penetration of internet broadband in this country, Pakatan has narrowed the odds with internet news and outreach through the new media while BN retains its dominance in the printed and television news. 

So, my purpose of putting this blog is to chart the political scene of our beloved country, Malaysia. Especially the coverage of the coming GE 13. It is anticipated that there will be many attempts at knocking off internet news portals like Malaysiakini and political party websites. So i hope to be able to contribute what I can to help spread the news around.
