The following is has information about an article in the Malaysian
press about Malaysia going from Disapprove with Comments to
Abstain on the OOXML stuff.

It would be good if there were comments to that blog post.

While doing that, I would like to encourage members on this
list to write to the CE IDA and the press asking why is it that
Singapore voted Approve with Comments when the XML TC
recommended Disapprove with Comments.  The fact that at
the ISO level the vote ended up as Disapprove with Comments
shows how out of sync Singapore is.  It appears that Singapore
is the ONLY Asian country to vote Yes with Comments.

Naturally, I do not want to author such a note to the press, for
we need more independent voices to query.

Thanks.

Harish
