About Me
My name is Bob K.

I was born in Perak many moons ago and grew up in Teluk Intan but currently reside in Kuala Lumpur.

I am currently make a living as an eRider providing technical consultancy and support for NGOs and non-profit organisations in Malaysia. Not the best way to make a living as my wife will attest, but its honest :)

I am also a follower of the Christian faith and am currently worshipping in a Lutheran congregation in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur after having spent most of my life after my conversion in the Methodist Church.

Interests In Wikipedia
I am primarily interested in the Malaysian entries in Wikipedia. I believe that accurate and comprehensive information in the public domain will contribute towards developing a civil society and I have a vested interest in seeing a civil society develop in Malaysia.

Considering the fact that not much objective information is available about Malaysia online, I hope to be able to contribute to this dearth of information and allow my contributions to be tempered by peer moderating and constructive dialogue.

Some Interesting Trivia
Interestingly, the first contributor to my Talk Page was __earth as I have been monitoring his entries even before I decided to get involved directly with Wikipedia. One of the common areas of interest is in the user, Gary W Bush, as the latter was at a time, trolling my blog.

So that's that for now. I hope to be able to populate this page with more relevant and useful information as I continue to hone my skills in Wikipedia.
