Since our launch on August 1, 2006, we have had a very good year, and in July we passed another important milestone, surpassing 100,000 visitors for the first time. In the meantime, we are proud of the scope of our coverage and the stories we have done. We broke some of the region's best stories on the Thai coup and its relationship to the Thai monarchy. We had a strong six-part series on Singapore at the time of World Bank-IMF meetings there last year. Our coverage of the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, the Mongolian translator in Malaysia, related her killing to the top reaches of the United Malays National Organization. We carried a two-part series on Brunei's dilemma over its diminishing energy reserves and we even went trout-fishing in Bhutan. We discovered where to buy a bogus US$100 "superbill " on the Chinese border with North Korea and we looked at Russians smuggling counterfeit goods out of China.
Happy Birthday to US!
