In my prediction, most sites will be down, especially like ubah.tv and DemiRakyat.my will be restricted by ISPs in malaysia.
“Political sites and content inaccessible
In the last week in April, users on select ISPs found they could not access certain websites critical of the ruling government. These ISPs include (but are not limited to) Unifi, TM, Celcom, Digi, and Maxis; however services offered by Time and YTL did not appear to be affected.” - https://www.accessnow.org/blog/2013/05/02/tracking-network-interference-malaysia
There are ways to get to these sites
1. Change your DNS to Google Public DNS
1. Click Start, type “network sharing” without the quotes, and hit ENTER
2. You should see a window opened up as like image below:
3. Click “Change adapter settings” on your left panel, and you should see another window opened up like image below:
4. You will be able to see all of your adapters, select the one you are using. In this case, I am using my wifi adapter. If you have a desktop, you should modify the Local Area Connection.
Right Click on the adapter you are using and select “Properties”
5. After that you will see this window popped up, now select Internet Protocol Version 4, and then click on Properties button as shown in the image below:
6. Changing the setting like the image below:
Now click “OK” and close all windows you opened.
Restart your computer and you are able to access any blocked websites.

2. Using web proxy such as http://www.hidemyass.com/
1. Visit http://www.hidemyass.com/
2. Enter address, for example, I am trying ubah.tv
After you enter the address, click on the yellow “Hide My Ass!” button
3. Now you should be able to see the website you entered.
I heard that there will be no mobile internet and network available on 5th May. In that case, both of these methods are not going to work.
Hope you guys find this useful.
Enjoy, and UBAH dan selamatkan Malaysia!
