When is general election?
8 March 2013 has past, but our PM still hasn't announced our general election date and all people of this nation are waiting for the date announced, now I found that I got a strange habit recently as I like to search for "Malaysia general election" keyword in Google webpage, I did it almost a few times a day since two weeks ago, but no result still.
Today when I search the same keyword, I found that a news that Google launches Malaysia election page to include all related topics on our general election, this sound like actually a lot more people are like me searched for news on GE13 everyday, that's why Google is so nice to create this site for poeple to read for news.
Time passing fast and we are closed to April soon, will our PM announced date of GE13 on April Fool?

KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 ― Google launched its Malaysian elections hub today as a resource ahead of the country’s general election due by June.
The global search engine giant said the page will be curated by its Google Malaysia office and contain trends, information, YouTube videos and links where “citizens can study, watch, learn about, and participate in the policy issues shaping the campaigns as election day nears”.
It also said users will be able to search for real-time election information within the website and tap into voter information resources compiled from various sources.
“Google’s mission is to make information universally accessible and useful to users — and this is definitely true for elections. We want to make sure Malaysians have access to all the information available to them in order to help them make a well-informed decision on election day,” said a Google spokesperson.
He said the Google Election Page was in line with Google’s founding vision: To organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
He also said the site will allow citizens the ability to connect and engage directly with candidates through a variety of Google’s platforms, such as watching live-streaming on YouTube or discussing issues on Google+ Hangouts.
Google Malaysia has also worked with various political parties, media owners and non-governmental organisations for the page, he added, saying the site would remain available as a future resource for Malaysian voters, including future general elections.
