(Pix from Beijing Olympics 2008 official website)Perhaps to coincide with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, Bernama, the Malaysian national news agency has picked 08.08.2008 to unveil its new look for its official website, Bernama.com.
The most lucky number in the Chinese official language of Mandarin is the number eight, which means "prosperity," "fortune" or "wealth."
“By commencing the Beijing Olympics on 08.08.2008, at eight minutes past eight o'clock in the evening will certainly guarantee that the Games will be carried out under the most auspicious of circumstances," Wang Hua, a Beijinger was quoted in a news report from Beijing, the capital of China.
To attract a larger audience from the Malaysian public, Bernama.com has also added a new icon on politics, which is timely as all eyes are now focusing on the looming battle for the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat on Aug 26.
The new Bernama.com has also incorporated a new segment What Say You which invites the audience to give their views on current issues, with today’s topic ‘What needs to be done to improve Malaysia’s public transportation system? ‘ setting the momentum for a more interactive website.
