I like to write this post to express my feeling to this lovely country - Malaysia which will turn into 50^th years of independence on tomorrow.

After watching a ‘Video Response to Negarakuku‘ video which put up by a Malaysian in YouTube. It is good to share with all my readers. This video is a response to Namewee’s Negarakuku video, and to make all races to understand fact. If you don’t know what I am talking about, you can watch the video from Namewee.

Here is my comment for this video:

I am fully agree with the message brought out in this video. Fighting and talking bad to each other won’t solve the problems arise so far. There are certain level of misunderstanding between the different races in Malaysia, we shouldn’t blame each other and should sit down to solve this issue.

I am not someone who can influence the Malaysia political, economic and political issue, I felt it is good if some of the more influence can know my voice (and many other) as ordinary Malaysian. Here is my wishes for Malaysia’s 50^th Birthday:

• Be united and resolve misunderstanding between the races.
• Recognation for the hard works from the difference races by all races. This is a multi-racial community, everyone efforts should be recognised. Everyone should understand team works is better than lonely ranger.
• Continue maintain peace and war free
• Economic continue to growth strong.
• Truly freedom in religion belief.
• much much more …

I remembered someone ask this recently: Malaysia has achieved 50 years of indenpance, are you feel like celebrating Malaysia 50^th year Birthday in 31st August? If not, why?

How about what is your wishes for 50^th Birthday? Feel free to share your opinion here.

Today I received an email from a Master of Science in Marketing student of Brunel University. I thought I can share this with you about this survey exercise.

Brand image influenced by blog advertising is a marketing research study to determine how blog advertising influence the image of brands which were mentioned positively on personal blogs or network blogs. This online survey is a part of an academic research project about the relationships between Brand Image and Blog Advertising. I need approximately 500 people to complete this survey. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete this questionnaire.

If you have 5-10 minutes, you can join the Blog Advertising Survey here and see how does blog advertising influence your brand image. You can also see the poll result at the end of the survey.

Comment of this survey: It might not be 100% accurate but it could be one of the earliest survey for blog advertising.
