The term WiMAX is still new to me and also to my fellow Malaysians. I don’t know when was the first time you heard about this jargon. Now people in Kuala Lumpur can enjoy this technology too.
What does WiMAX mean? WiMAX is actually the technology to send data via fast and efficient wireless network. This situation seems to be similar with television or radio broadcasting. Luckily we can use this technology to access the internet or precisely the web.
If you’ve used Wi-Fi to access internet before, this WiMAX technology will help you to surf the internet smoothly, more comfortable because the WiMAX range is hundreds of times much longer than WiFi and also stable. Read more on WiMAX internet access in Kuala Lumpur…

If you’ve heard about Malaysia before, maybe you know that the capital of this country is Kuala Lumpur. But did you know how this city got its present day name today? The Kuala Lumpur history started in the year 1857 when a Malay chieftain, Raja Abdullah was looking for a new tin mining area.
The tin mining area was finally found in the present day Ampang and that place was a jungle area. Before this mining area was found, the coolies sent by Raja Abbdullah found the confluence of Klang and Gombak rivers. You can still see this confluence today when you visit Masjid Jamek or Sultan Abdul Samad building.
The estuary of Gombak and Klang Rivers
The location of this confluence is just behind the Sultan Abdul Samad building. Because the estuary was the muddy one Raja Abdullah named that place as Kuala Lumpur which means ‘muddy estuary’. Read more on The meaning and brief history of Kuala Lumpur…
