SARS Blog

Apparently there is much better coverage and brilliant blog about SARS in Malaysia. Screenshots, a blog of columnist Jeff Ooi (who is also the founder of USJ.com.my). He blogged a lot about War on Iraq and SARS, which also made his blog being popular. How ignorant am I not noticing his excellent blog? :) With his blog as a starting point, to Malaysiakini columnist Oon Yeoh's blog, and towards many other Malaysians' weblogs. Wow...it's really something new to me. I didn't really know there are so many of M'sian blogs out there. It's great. Blogosphere is great but we sometimes do need to get around neighbourhoods to have a feel of home.

The other blog, Wangjianshuo's blog, covers what happening in Shanghai, China. I am sure that are lots of blogs about SARS in Shanghai, mostly in Mandarin. Wang Jian Shuo's blog shows you how a day like in Shanghai while it's under the threat of SARS.

I have always like MovableType.
You should teach me to use it in Chinese one day. I am quite comfortable with the language tough I am not good at it.

Thanks for responding Yow Kee.

Cheers!

There's a VERY interesting article on this, entitled 'SARS AND THE 1918 FLU: A Biological Warfare Weapon?', at http://www.survivalistskills.com/1918FLU.HTM with some interesting quotes and stories which don't appear to have been given wide circulation in the Western press.

There are also some very intriquing related quotes from key public figures on the 'Emerging Viruses' page at http://www.survivalistskills.com/EMVIRBK.HTM

Anyway, today I blogged and moblogged Halley 's blog about Joi 's moblogging tendencies and now I find that Joi has moblogged (and blogged) about my moblogging and blogging of this (sublogging?).

They want a pure form of Islam practised in Malaysia, yet they still want to maintain the Bumiputra privileges over the non-bumiputras. ... Even the contention that islam stopped suttee in India (by Hadi of PAS) is codswallop. ... PAS and any other muslim might say that Islam teaches about governance and etc, but if one takes a look at history, one would notice that using religion as a basis of governance has produced a lot of negative impact - the dark ages, the spanish inquisistion, the subversion of the population in the medieval times, ...
