n my biased view, the TOP FIVE Political Blogs in Malaysia - April 2008 are;
Updated March 2009..the list has not changed much. RPK still tops my list. Marina can sometimes be the most inspiring. Rocky writes short often linking diverse perspectives. Zorro writes like the La-salle sentul discipline master but has soul..lol Anil has been providing some exciting real time blog content.

RPK has no time for niceties; so be prepared to be informed & offended. see here why I think RPK was revolutionary
