Being a controversial yet important topic (dominating national politics behind race and corruption), the least that can be written here is a summary of major religions in the country and an overview of their relations with each other and other aspects of Malaysian society: One section per one religion, and a single section on "Religion in Malaysian life". -

This is an article about Malaysia's capital and should be well-written. However, it's quite messy at the moment and is in need of reorganization. The places of interest section needs to be written in a more appropriate tone.
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. Not forgetting the lack of mention on that fire at the chancellor hall many orbits back, or the architecture of the campuses. -

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.

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. -

Severely stunted with only two sections of relevant writing. Lacks detailed history, current status in Malaysian society and culture. A collaboration on this article will be a breath of fresh air from the frequent coverage of modern-day topics and major ethnic groups in the country. -

I'm in the opinion that there are several important pages associated with a country. First and foremost is the page of the country itself. Second in importance are pages such as Geography of X, Culture of X, Demographics of X, History of X, Economy of X.

Very short especially relative to its influence, neutrality issues; for specifics see the talk page. Both MAS and the history of Malaysia articles seem rather long and don't have any apparently huge problems. It is rated as "high" on our project's importance scale.

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. -

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.

This article desperately requires expansion, as it contains too little information for a port of such large significance. I could probably contribute to the article a little, as I am staying in South Klang, so Port Klang is within the proximity. Acs4bTCU14:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)reply
Anyone willing to help out in copyedit--preferably the neutral biographical details? I've significantly expanded the article--this article is interesting in the sense that it has very significant historical interest in terms of
Crime in Malaysia and its judiciary though--but not exclusively limited to that.

Anyone else think that this page needs a lot more information? It would seem fitting given the current examination of the contributions of the
Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) towards the fight for independence. At the very least some background on Lai Teck is necessary in order to properly contextualise the actions of CPM from the Japanese occupation during WWII up until the establishment of the
British Military Administration. After all, his orders shaped CPM policy and attitudes towards the two colonial powers up until the discovery of his triple agent status.

Anyone care to comment on improving this page? Right now its just a list of telecommunication companies that provide internet access within Malaysian and the region. Its just a list of companies that don't have much description and needs to be wikified. Many of these companies don't have their own separate wiki articles.

This article is currently underdeveloped although this company is significant in Malaysia. This company claimed that it has practiced sustainable logging operations. However, Greenpeace and Rainforest Network and other environmentalists have accused Rimbunan Hijau for excessive, irresponsible logging, and political patronage. The owner of the company, Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King, is the ninth richest man in Malaysia.
Article should need expansion and need reliable sources. Additional imformation needed for the article such as finance, date of reburial, critism, causes and afternath. The reliable sources can be found at

As the upcoming metropolis of Malaysia, the article provides little information on the development of the region. The page should be restructured and all its component pages, articles related to its development should be refurnished. Hence, support from all Malaysian Wikipedians are much appreciated. One fine example is Legoland Malaysia, where we can take cue from Universal Studios Singapore as the benchmark in writing the contents.
I have made some significant changes to this article, such as expanding the lead section and introducing the "fares and ticketing" section, but it is still in need of improvement. The "extensions" section is probably copied from some newspaper article. In addition, the article also lacks proper images of the railway network (like ticketing vending machines and the tickets themselves) and it does not have a section detailing the history of the system.
