Yahoo! M’sia Editors on Answers – Tell us!

We’ve been thinking. How can we make Answers more interesting and relevant to our Malaysian users? I know that some of you are shy and maybe don’t wish to ask in-your-face kind of questions. But you probably have strong views and are willing to share your knowledge and experience with the rest of the users on current events and what’s near and dear to our hearts.

So the Yahoo! Malaysia Editors have decided to get together and we’re gonna ask you the questions! What we want is to hear your say on the hot topics in Malaysia. Share with us your knowledge, experiences and views on current events and happenings, as the questions will be linked to the current news topic. For instance, we started off with “How do you feel about Malaysia’s performance at the Olympics so far?” which was linked to the news articles on Lee Chong Wei’s Silver medal win at the Olympics. And 48 of you replied so far. Yay!

Well of course Answers is not a forum, so it should not be treated as a place for you to rant and rave. But we’re very keen to collect all the knowledge and experiences that make up a Malaysian. All questions posted will be open for 3 days, and then you, as a community, will vote for the best answer.

So answer, vote, and let Malaysians hear you!

All eyes on Chong Wei

Remember how I said that there were a few Malaysian athletes to look out for? And in Badminton, Lee Chong Wei was one of them. Chong Wei did not disappoint us! He just won the Men’s Singles Quarterfinal match against Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro (who won a bronze medal in the last Olympics) 2-0. Now Malaysia will have a fighting chance of winning another medal at the Semi-Finals on Friday evening!

As for Archery, even though the team didn’t get into the semi-finals, they still did well enough to compete in the quarterfinals. Good for them! Cycling (track) will only commence this Friday, so we’ve still some hope.

All in all, it has been an exciting Olympics so far, with American Michael Phelps becoming the “greatest-ever Olympian” with a record-breaking 11 Olympic golds in Swimming in his bag so far.

What do you think of Malaysia’s performance in the Olympics thus far? I know that even though many of us are keeping a look-out on the political situation here in Malaysia (Will Anwar really succeed in toppling the government in a month as he promised? How will the Penangnites vote?), we should still put aside all this and unite together to support our Malaysian athletes at the Olympics!
