Welcome to Redesign Malaysia: For Better Broadband, For the Rakyat. - Internet, Broadband, Malaysia, WiFi, Wireless, WiMax, Streamyx, Jaring and more…

This website is an initiative to improve Malaysia’s broadband facilities. It contains a broadband coverage map, articles on Malaysia broadband, comparisions of internet service providers and feature articles.

Redesign Malaysia is an initiative to improve Malaysia's broadband internet penetration, quality and reliability.We aim to achieve this through the compilation of relevant news articles, allowing users to have a voice, enlightening consumers on the options that are available, providing comparative statistics on ISPs, as well as the production of special features and commentary.


It is designed to be a community effort, to utilize information and feedback from broadband users and potential customers across Malaysia. We also aim to gain cooperation from the various broadband players in Malaysia, as well as support from government agencies and regulators.


Currently, we are focused on the Klang Valley, however in time we aim to expand this initiative nationwide. Let's all collaborate - to make fast, cheap and efficient broadband available throughout Malaysia.

URL Blocking In Malaysia, Through Saudi Arabia? Does the Datin Diaries have sensitive info?

News Articles

There’s a pretty popular blog in Malaysia called the Datin Diaries, which is supposedly about the life of a Datin, and her Datuk. It’s suprisingly intellectual (I remember a quote from her, “We don’t get lobotomies when we become a Datin”, and about her Datuk liking to play Playstation!), and an entertaining, if voyeuristic read into the lifestyles of the rich and anonymous.

After a while of not having checked out the blog, I saw this:

First thing. Okay, I’m not in Saudi Arabia (.sa). Check.
Second, I’m not using a Saudi Arabia proxy or ISP. Using TMNet Streamyx, no proxies. Check.
Btw, the links in the page link to a legitimate Saudi Arabian ISP’s block/unblock URL page.

What’s with this? Is anyone else having the same problem? Or has the blog been shut down by the owner, and put up a very odd notice to confuse people?
