Reza Ali 7 April 2008 Sometimes its good to do something different. I don’t generally like to take studio type pictures and portraits.

5 April 2008 On 4 April 1968, civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King was assasinated in Memphis, Tennesee.

The parties have started campaigning and posters, flag, billboards and signages have already plastered the city of KL (and I suspect other places as well).
