It is reported the Asia Pacific Cable Network-2 (APCN-2) is suffering cable failure since April 7, 2005. This cable failure was happened in East Asia.

Until the moment I write this Site News, the service is still interrupted. However, only Asia readers from certain countries like Malaysia, Singapore, etc will have difficulties accessing my blog because the server of this website is residing in the US. Readers from outside Asia regions will have no problem at all browsing it. :)

One thing that makes me wonder is, from MSC (Multimedia Super Corridoor) website, MSC claimed

Malaysia is connected to the major submarine cable systems such as SMW3, APCN, APCN2, FLAG, SAFE and several smaller regional systems. These cable systems land in 4 different locations throughout Malaysia.

Now only one submarine cable (APCN2) is hit by outages, has made Malaysia’s broadband crawling since April 7, 2005.

Due to this sad incident, i’m having difficulties accessing to major websites residing outside Malaysia, hence, paralyzed me from writing any article here. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. :) I’ll think of other solutions if the problem is not solved by today or tomorrow.
