• Agreed - the portal as a whole needs to be more active, with the focus on Malaysia, I would suggest. docboat 01:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hash House Harriers

• This phenomenon/social club was founded in Kuala Lumpur but is now world-wide. The page is heavily tagged with notices, but it ought to be possible to keep it a fun article, yet still encyclopedic. I learned of the club from co-workers in the semiconductor industry, who brought it from Malaysia to California, for example. There is no reason it could not be a Featured Article. --Ancheta Wis 03:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

• The current campus is notable as being one of the "Merdeka" infrastructure projects initiated following Malaya's independence in 1957. As far as its early years is concerned, quite a bit on it is lacking. Writing on campus locations and layouts are also pathetic.

• The Kinta District of the state of Perak is separately governed by 3 district offices, thus 3 separate articles should exist. My suggestion is to retain the current article on Kinta, and add 2 more articles (West Kinta and South Kinta) on 2 of the 3 district offices. The 3rd district office is Ipoh City Council, which already has an article. Mhching 10:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Kinta Valley is equally important in the context of Peninsular Malaysia's history and geography as Klang Valley. But my suggestion is to work on expanding the present Kinta article first to avoid fragmentation, then split when the article is stretched long enough. On a related note, I don't suppose any of you have that pricey book on Kinta Valley's history. It looks like a fairly good illustrated reference. - Two hundred percent (talk) 09:10, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

• Not to sound like I'm objecting, but the article isn't exactly very short to be listed. However, we do have an balanced lot of sources which we can easily dig up from the Internet and old newspapers (Harakah is pro-PAS, mainstream medias are anti-PAS (but doesn't archive their articles for long), and Malaysiakini and Malaysia Today express mixed views towards the party). And given the importance of the topic, it does deserve some attention. - Two hundred percent (talk) 06:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I agree, but much of that content needs to be completely rewritten; a lot of it could probably be collated under one heading of "political views". We have virtually nothing on the party's history beyond the '50s, and nothing at all on its present leadership. The article is still significantly shorter than the other two leading nominees.
