EarthHour 2008

WWF is calling for a global event in the fight against global warming, known as EarthHour 2008. On the 29th of March 2008, please switch off your lights between 8pm and 9pm, local time wherever you are

The idea is that by each time zone of the earth simply switching off their lights for a mere 60 minutes, awareness on the need to combat global warming will be spread, but also dramaticly reduce electricity consumption for that day, thus showing how much of an effect it has.

Many cities, corporations and individuals (including myself obviously!) have pledged to support and participate in this event including Sydney, New York, Toronto, Manila, Tel Aviv, Coca-Cola, HSBC, Citibank, and many more!

Im thinking of trying to get Malacca, and maybe even Kuala Lumpur involved once I get home, but obviously my priority is to contact as many people and maybe some organizations I have relations with to spread the word and try and get them involved. Please people! its just a mere 60 minutes, and it dunt cost you any effort! Besides, it could be a great social event! Campfire, Torchlight party, Candlelight social, you name it!

Im gona try n get Astro involved, and maybe ask my mom to push MMU on this as well.

Anyway, please sign up through my EarthHour page (simply so that I can track how many people I have roped in) this is the link to my EarthHour profile: http://www.earthhour.org/user/hUXD

and the general EarthHour page: http://www.earthhour.org/

There is also a small promotional video on youtube:

"Please Go Mr. Badawi!" Protest at Istana Negara

It seems that there is going to be a peaceful protest at 9.30am in front of Istana Negara tomorow to ask PakLah to resign as Prime Minister. The idea is for him to see the people telling him to leave as he drives into the palace to seek His Majesty the King's permission to form government. All are welcome to attend

I've yet to form any opinions on this matter, considering that Najib and that Kerismuddin bufoon are next in line. Also, with the power tussle to come between Najib n Khairy realy dono which way id want it....Ditelan mati mak, Diluah mati bapak??

Also let none forget how radical Najis and Kerismuddin can be....Najib's 1987 threat to spill chinese blood ring any bells?? Whatabout the mysterious allegations of Najib's involvement in the Altantuya issue?

I realy dont have an opinion on this matter, but one things for sure, weak, ineffective and sleepy though Bodohwi may be, he certainly feels more moderate than the alternatives. Also, its pretty certain that his clock is ticking....Mahathir's wish for him to b just a one term PM may just come true...

BN's 2/3 majority BREAKS! 5 states go to the Barisan Rakyat

SAMY VELU IS OUT! SHARIZAT IS OUT! KOH TSU KOON IS OUT! ZAM IS OUT! KAYVEAS IS OUT! But Khairy is in...

Ok by now, everyone probably knows all the news of who is in or out...so this is no longer an actively updated post...needless to say that I am in general pleased and happy with Barisan Rakyat's immense success in breaking the BN's 2/3 majority as well as taking 5 states and reducing the majority in the others. Now its time for these Yang Berkhidmats (as opposed to the yang berhormats) to get to work. Im hoping that they will introduce local government elections in Penang Selangor and Perak. This will force BN's hand to reintroduce it nationwide....

Im trying to keep live updates from Malaysiakini. But due to high traffic, i cant. But this is the big news!

DAP has taken Penang. They won 19 seats. together with PKR and PAS the opposition has 22 out of 40 seats. DAP is expectd to form the new state government with Lim Guan Eng as the new Penang CM

Selangor has been taken by DAP-PKR. PKR's Khalid Ibrahim might be the new Menteri Besar, with DAP taking the Deputy position.

DAP-PKR-PAS will form a new coalition government for the state of Perak!

Semi-value is now NO VALUE! HAHHAHA high time la....

PAS and PKR have together taken over kedah!
Terrenganu is still in BN hands, PAS keeps kelantan

So we now have 5 states in opposition hands

Elsewhere DAP and PKR are doing very well

Wee Choo Keong (PKR) has won in Wangsa Maju
Nurul Izzah (PKR) has won in Lembah Pantai
Sivarasa Rasiah (PKR) has won in Subang
Tian Chua (PKR) has won his seat too!

Lim Kit Siang Lim Guan Eng, Karpal Singh, Jeff Ooi, Teresa Kok, Fong Po Kuan, all no need to say lah! hehehe
