I attended BUM2007 last year but I will miss tomorrow’s BUM2008 which will be held at The Lake View Club SUbang Jaya.
I have to skip this year’s event as I have to attend to some personal matters but I am sure I will have the opportunity to read about the events which will be covered by the bloggers who will attend BUM2008.
Let’s hope BUM2008 will be as good as BUM2007, if not better.

I am not sure who is officially the first blogger to be appointed Member of Parliament because there were quite a few bloggers who have won in the recent general election, both at the parliament level and DUN level. But Jeff Ooi and Tony Pua are definitely the first bloggers who have blogged live in Parliament. Congratulation to Jeff and Tony… go get them soldiers!
Read Jeff’s maiden post in Parliment here and here and Tony’s here. So who is the first? Well… It probably does not matter much but Jeff and Tony must let us know their time of …read more

I had blogged about how BN is so lousy at adopting new media such as blogs. This is because they are doing it for the wrong reasons. Prior to 12th general election, BN had setup a BN 2008 Campaign site and you can read my comment about how pathetic the site was. I also mentioned about how BN had taken off the interactive features of the new electronic media offered by blogs and online media in that campaign site.
Fast forward to post 12th general election, BN politicians seem to be racing with each other to set up their own blogs, …read more

UMNO always makes silly rule. Remember the quota system, which was introduced by Mahathir long time ago? That was silly but it was important for Mahathir at that time. It was the quota system that he forced upon UMNO members that made him survived a long 20-plus years at the helm of UMNO. But Mahathir ‘Mudah Lupa’ forgot that it was his own quota system that he recently urged to be abolish. Abuse was his reason for urging to let go the tool that he had conveniently used for years to stay in power. This man needs help badly to …read more

What do these people have in common? Well, they have all been labelled monkeys and gobloks by ‘you-know-who’. Further than that, these ‘monkeys’ and ‘gobloks’ also share common passion and that is to fight for justice… the very reason they were called by such names in the first place.
Well folks, if these bloggers have their way to the Parliment and Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), I can assure you that the BN guys in those two houses will definitely have tough time as these guys will not take any bullshit from those BN guys any more.

I would like to welcome everyone to b5media, the new network owner of Kuala Lumpur is Home. I was away on business trip to Bangkok for a few days since my last post and at almost the same time there was a migration work done to transfer the contents of this blog from Home Turf Media to b5media which took a bit longer than expected.
