Facebook in Malay

Facebook is now available in Malay (Bahasa Melayu).



This is a remarkable enhancement for users in Malaysia. As is stands, Facebook claims to have over 600,000 users in Malaysia. I wouldn't be surprised if this number triples very quickly, now that the language barrier has been removed.



Bravo, Facebook!

Town hall on a Friday

DiGi is announcing it's financial results for Q3. For the first time ever, they're releasing the results to both staff and the investors at the same time. Perhaps a first in the world?

How not to spend 120 bucks

Passion Seaweed Slimming Mud? In Sungei Wang Plaza today. This place has everything you don't need (I almost bought myself a battery-powered hair razor)

How to prevent wireless hacking

Just call your access point VIRUS.

Undisputed kungfu

I think Celcom's got a winner with this outdoor marketing campaign. The kungfu master really does look like he's doing a split in mid air.

Spotted in 1-Utama.

Absence makes the heart grow fungus

It's been a month since my last post.

I'm sorry. I really am. 30 days of waiting for something new must have really put you off.

The real story: I've been swamped with work in the run up to MNP.

But here's one real new thing:



A brainchild I'm kickstarting called Marketingly.com

Why?

I've always wanted to document the things I've learned in consumer marketing. Marketingly.com is a quick way to start. I'm also getting other marketing experts in my network to come on board as guest bloggers.

The aim is to post one lesson every day for the next 100 days. This starts from October 10.

In the meantime: please add this site to your list of RSS feeds, or sign up for an email newsletter. Tell me what you think.

Two other things:

• For mobile users: if you're still spending your hard-earned ringgit to sustain a Prepaid / Postpaid line with Maxis, Celcom or U Mobile - it's time to switch to DiGi. With MNP you get to keep your number, e.g. use 012-YRNUMBR on DiGi. Seriously, you will save money and enjoy more.
• For music lovers: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus is a real song. Not my type though.
