This from Malaysia

In "Blooks from Malaysia" (Asia.cnet 20/01/2007) Jeff Ooi reported that the latest blook, entitled Blogger by A. Kadir Jasin, is a combo of English and Malay. Previous blooks "essentially catered to the Malay-speaking audience." Four other blooks cited are Jiwa Kacau, Ayah Kita Bos, Goblog, and Masuk Barisan.

A. Kadir Jasin, also known as The Scribe, has an extensive writing background:

"I have been a journalist since 1969. I am the Editor-in-Chief of magazine publishing company, Berita Publishing Sdn Bhd. I was Group Editor NST Sdn Bhd and Group Editor-in-Chief of NSTP Bhd between 1988 and 2000. I write fortnightly column “Other Thots” in the Malaysian Business magazine. Books: Biar Putih Tulang (1998), Other Thots – Opinions & Observations 1992-2001 (2001), The Wings of an Eagle (2003), Mencari Dugalia Huso (2006), Damned That Thots (2006) and Blogger (2006). "

You can see the cover of his blook - kinda cool. [I couldn't find the post's permalink, sorry]
