Hi Cikgu, My name is Manoj Nandy. I am an author. I am now amidst developing a free English
portal for Malaysian students, it's called duku.my...(duku is an abv for Dunia Ku..not the fruit :))...so,
I was wondering if i can link the MUET writing skills to your blog. I am more focused on Cambridge
English..but your guidance here was indeed helpful. Please let me know if it is okay for me to link
duku.my to your blog.
