My name is Bob K.

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

I am currently make a living as an [[Circuit rider (technology)|eRider]] providing technical consultancy and support for [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]s 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 [[Christianity|Christian]] faith and am currently worshipping in a [[Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore|Lutheran]] congregation in [[Bangsar]], [[Kuala Lumpur]] after having spent most of my life after my conversion in the [[Methodist Church of Malaysia|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 [[User:Earth|__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, [[User:Garywbush|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.
