updated version The Malaysiakini website was inaccessible for most of yesterday due to network congestion caused by excessive traffic.

The site has since been moved to a temporary server while the technical team finds a solution to the congestion problem.

Readers should be able to access the website now. However, Malaysiakini subscribers are unable to log in since the registration data are in the old server.

Until the congestion problem is solved, our subscribers-only content will be made available to all readers.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

The website saw a dramatic increase of up to 300,000 readers a day due to the tumultuous events which have rocked the nation over the past few days — Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's shock resignation announcement and the death of Opposition Leader Fadzil Noor.
