A slice of daily Malaysian life in pictures

• Power From Coal
Manjung, 21st July 2008: Standing tall on a man-made island near Pangkor, the Janamanjung is TNB's flagship coal-fired power station. When gas prices became increasingly volatile, TNB turned to coal to reduce its dependence on a single thermal type source. Older coal powered stations are considered inefficient and polluting. So how do they do it?...
• Protes In Kelana Jaya
Kelana Jaya, 6th July 2008: Like a skilled conductor, Anwar Ibrahim whipped the stadium into a frenzy. Attendance was way less than the one million advertised but the fuel price hike protest proceeded almost peacefully...
• Two Birds and One Wheel
Kuala Lumpur, 27th June 2008: Me and two peacocks were huddled under a tree, taking shelter from the rain. The rain eventually stopped and my two newfound friends were heading home when I took one last picture of them. Little did they know, that the picture would end up in the Asia-Pacific brochure of a new Olympus camera...
• Storm in a C Cup: The Super GT Girls
Sepang, 22nd June 2008: Last year, some MPs were unsure whether the girls were attired in hot pants or bikinis. The ensuing debate in Parliament turned into a storm in a teacup. As a result, the babes are dressed a little less itsy bitsy this year...

• P Ramlee The Musical - Season Two
Kuala Lumpur, 3rd June 2008: The second season features Musly Ramlee in the eponymous role. His uncanny resemblance to the legend in both looks and mannerisms, added another appealing factor to this very successful musical. With the gorgeous set and lighting design, I went trigger happy. Enjoy this exclusive 13-page photo essay from the ringside...
• Talk The Walk
Kuala Lumpur, 1st June 2008: Listening Post. Blogger Rocky at Dataran Merdeka after a talk on Media Freedom hosted by the National Press Club and the National Union of Journalists. Ironically, there were more journalists turning up on duty, rather than as participants in the event...
• Balagan
Kuala Lumpur, 29th May 2008: Balagan is an amalgam of circus acts, comedy, surrealism and old-fashioned slapstick. An international cast of clowns, jugglers, strongmen, acrobats and mimes brought this colourful show to life at the KL Convention Centre last night...
• Flying High
Kuala Lumpur, 25th May 2008: A beautiful night view of the Petronas Twin Towers and the surrounding metropolis. The aircraft was descending for landing at KLIA and was flying at around 500 kph and at about 7.000 feet above Balakong. Is photographing through the scratchy and blurry window of a commercial aircraft worth the trouble...
• Wesak
Kuala Lumpur, 19th May 2008: The annual Wesak Day celebrations at the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Brickfields ended with a procession of colourful floats. The neon-lit cross in the background is that of the Lutheran Zion Church en route...

• Those Mysterious Perakian Eyes
Sitiawan, 21st April 2008: Above a cemetery wall, a passing ant paused for a quick decision. After a brief stare down, she attacked my camera ferociously. Join me in this off-the-beaten-track photo essay of Perak which took me through Teluk Intan, Sitiawan, Lumut and beyond...
• Horses In My Garden
Kuala Lumpur, 17th April 2008: Those horses in my garden. They galloped, leaped and pranced with wild abandonment. Horses and my mind roam free on a hot afternoon...
• White 14
Kuala Lumpur, 14th April 2008: I never knew I would be back at muddy fields and crushing crowd so soon after the elections. Anwar Ibrahim celebrated his return to active politics with a rally in Kampung Baru tonight...
• Meaning Of Life
Langkawi, 7th April 2008: Basking under the rays of the setting sun, a cat is deep in thought. She is probably wondering about the meaning of life or whether mice exist on Mars...
• Fire & Rain. Frangipanis & Cupcakes
Kuala Lumpur, 4th April 2008: Fifteen days after the Spring Equinox, the Chinese sweep the tombs of their departed loved ones. The weather may be wet and gloomy today, but the Qing Ming tradition of burning paper offerings lives on...
• Earth Hour Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, 29th March 2008: Well done, KL. The major landmarks and corporate headquarters shone through. See any difference? None. Still, I am hoping it is ignorance rather than indifference. Big props to the other cities participating in Earth Hour's symbolic but meaningful Global Blackout...
• Broga
Broga, 27th March 2008: It was like driving under a cloudless sky across the Nevada desert. Except, I was in Broga. Yesterday was one of the hottest days in a long time. The sky was in rare perfect blue as I explored the areas surrounding Semenyih and beyond. Enjoy this colourful 10-page pictorial...
• A Thousand Eagles
Tanjung Tuan, 16th March 2008: Every March, we are blessed with the most awesome sight as migratory birds of prey make their way back to Northern China and Siberia. They make a brief stopover in our skies and greet us with a salutation dance. From Crested Honey Buzzards, Black Bazas to Arrow Chinese Goshawks, these majestic raptors glide high up in the sky with the help of hot air columns. Even our own resident White Bellied Sea Eagles showed up for this celebratory fly-by across the Straits Of Malacca...
• Night Of The Underdogs

• My Ceramah Is Bigger Than Your Ceramah
Penang, 6th March 2008: The opposing parties are getting very competitive as the elections campaigning draws to a close. DAP triumphed in the latest one-upmanship with a monster 70,000 crowd in Penang tonight. Like rock stars, Karpal, Kit Siang and Guan Eng...
• Mosh Pitch
Subang Jaya, 4th March 2008: Covering the elections rallies is not exactly a walk in the park. Relentless rain, muddy grounds, huge crowds and unearthly hours. But this pales in comparison to the punishing schedule of some of the candidates...
• Phenomenal
Kuala Lumpur, 2nd March 2008: I have always noticed at outdoor eating places that the Chinese are the first to scurry whenever a single drop of rain is felt. It is a Chinese thing :) Tonight, at an election rally in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, thousands of Chinese not only braved the heavy rain but cheered wildly as...
• Women Power
Kuala Lumpur, 24th February 2008: Women may comprise half of the population but their representation in Parliament is highly disproportionate. With the trend of fielding women against women, the status quo perpetuates...
• Le Tour de Langkawi
Kuala Lumpur, 17th February 2008: Perhaps it should now be called Le Tour de Anywhere But Langkawi. The eponymous venue is no longer featured in the cycling race that started in 1996. This year's race criss-crossed the country in different stages and ended in Kuala Lumpur. Photographing the event behind the cityscape required some unconventional techniques...
