KUALA LUMPUR — Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s popular blog is now accessible intermittently, three hours after it was suspended due to what was described as “high traffic volume”.
His chedet.cc blog earlier carried a 403 code, which means denied access to the webserver. It was reported that the main page had displayed the message: “The account has been suspended”.
Webmasters for Dr Mahathir temporarily suspended the former prime minister’s personal blog this afternoon (March 13) after the website experienced an unexpected surge in traffic flow, an aide said.
Access to the chedet.cc website has been disabled for the time being to prevent the servers from crashing, Mr Sufi Yusof told Malay Mail Online when contacted.
“There was unusually high traffic and the webmasters took it down to prevent the server from crashing,” he said in a WhatsApp text message.
He added that they were currently working to restore the blog. MALAY MAIL ONLINE, THE MALAYSIAN INSIDER
