EU Referendum - Final results are in
Brexit it is. UK votes to leave EU after 43 years in historic referendum.
Leave won by 52% to 48% with England and Wales voting strongly for Brexit, while London, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed staying in the EU.
UPDATE:
Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU
Prime Minister David Cameron is to step down by October after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street, he said he would attempt to "steady the ship" over the coming weeks and months but that "fresh leadership" was needed.
The PM had urged the country to vote Remain but was defeated by 52% to 48% despite London, Scotland and Northern Ireland backing staying in.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage hailed it as the UK's "independence day".
The pound fell to its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 as the markets reacted to the results.

'Huge swing for the pound'
Traders have been reacting to that violent move for the pound after the results from Newcastle and Sunderland.
"It was a huge swing for the pound - something we virtually never see. The move was bigger than the pound dropped on Black Wednesday," said Joe Rundle, head of trading at ETX Capital.
"Nervousness is palpable in the markets as there is the potential that assets have been wildly mispriced. Investors were a little too complacent and if we do see a vote out we will see moves well beyond this," he added.
Pound is being 'killed' on the markets
"These moves are concerning and bring back pretty painful memories of 2008," said Jeremy Cook, chief economist at World First.
Pretty good illustration of the results so far. A tweet in reference to the final result:
'projection for the final result looks something like this.' Clever.

Rain stops voting
BBC South's political correspondent Peter Henley tweets that some commuters say problems on Southern Trains stopped them getting home in time to vote.
Torrential rain caused disruption on the railways in the South East, with travellers from Waterloo and on the London to Brighton line affected.
Anxious wait at campaign HQs...

An unlikely referendum-watcher?
The American actress Lindsay Lohan appears to be taking a keen interest in the referendum results from across the pond.
So far she has thanked us for our primers on UK geography and has warned of the effects on small businesses.
Campaign literature: A challenge for librarians
Now that so much campaign literature and political debate is produced and takes place online, libraries face different challenges in capturing and archiving it.
Curator Daniel Payne explains how the LSE Library is collecting ephemera relating to the referendum.
Brexit Tories urge Cameron to remain PM
Eighty four Conservative MPs who campaigned for the UK to leave the EU have written to David Cameron urging him to remain PM, whatever the result.
Referendum result - who's watching?
Google is tracking global interest in the referendum, with a map showing where it is being searched - the darker the colour, the more search interest. Predictably, there's strongest interest in the UK and Europe, but also in other parts of the English speaking world, including the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Counting begins in Gibraltar
Ballot boxes are on their way for counting at the university in Gibraltar. About 23,000 UK citizens in the British overseas territory were eligible to vote.
Vote counters at the ready
With voting closed, counting can begin. In Swansea, 150 counters are primed and ready for the first ballot boxes to arrive.
Quirky Polling Station
As well as dogs, another traditional feature of polling day are pictures of quirky voting venues. In Croydon, south London, a garage has been turned into a polling station - and, as an added bonus, there are two dogs waiting outside.

Relaxing in Gibraltar...
There's been fine weather in much of the UK today but some areas, including the south east of England, have been deluged with rain.
So spare a thought for the folk of Gibraltar, where many EU referendum voters have been enjoying a sunny afternoon after a trip to the polling station.
On the buses - Some voters in Kingston-upon-Hull get to cast their vote on a bus.

Voting across Scotland
Voting in the referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union has begun.
Polling places across the country will be open until 22:00, with the final result said to be expected at "breakfast time" on Friday.
The ballot box for the Hebridean island of Gigha - where there are 122 voters - was transported to the island by the Loch Ranza ferry on Tuesday.

Top 10 Budget Travel Tips for an Ultimate Kuala Lumpur Experience
 |
| PETRONAS Twin Towers Source: Wikipedia |
The people you will meet, the places you will see, the food you will taste, the shopping for exciting retail therapy, the nightlife to experience in this bustling city that almost never sleeps can keep any traveller happily occupied and entertained wherever the interests may lie!
Some may find Kuala Lumpur slightly more expensive than most other cities in Southeast Asia, however, there are ways to make your visit more affordable. Here are 10 Budget Travel Tips for an Ultimate KL Experience.
1). Stay at hostels around Bukit Bintang or Chinatown for cheaper accommodation. Dorm rooms can be found from RM20 – RM45 per night, while budget hotels can cost anything between RM90 to over RM100. Check out HostelWorld to see the available hostels around the city.
2). Utilise public transportation in the city. Kuala Lumpur offers easy access to plenty of public transportation including the Light Rail Transit (LRT) or Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) systems where fares start from RM2, buses from RM1 and the GO-KL free bus service that takes you around the major landmarks in Kuala Lumpur including the Petronas Twin Towers and the KL Tower.
3). Experience the local street food that only costs from RM5 – RM15 per meal. Visit the mamaks for Indian food, warungs for Malay dishes and the street hawkers in Chinatown for Chinese street food. Another recommended street food venue that is popular with tourists and locals alike is Jalan Alor (Alor Street) - located off Jalan Bukit Bintang. Here you will find a variety of Asian food from RM10 – RM45 per meal.
4). Shop at Sungei Wang Plaza and Berjaya Times Square for great prices for clothes, shoes and bags. Clothes from as low as RM10 are also available here! Looking for affordable grooming services including manicure, pedicure and hair salon services? Sungei Wang Plaza is where to look. Wigs too as well, of course.

5). Chinatown is not to be missed when in Kuala Lumpur. More shopping opportunity here. Central Market is another place not to be missed if you are looking for souvenirs. When shopping in these two places, time to exercise your bargaining skill. A must try in Chinatown is the street food and a chance to sit back and take in the sights and sounds of a bustling Chinatown.
For a bit of local culture, the vicinity of Chinatown has two nice temples to visit. One is a Chinese temple, the other an Indian temple.
6). Look for the free things to do in the city including free movie screenings. This happens every Monday evening at Publika, or head on over to Pisco’s Bar for their free foreign movie screenings on Tuesdays. If it's art you are interested in, head on to the Petronas Art Gallery at Suria KLCC for some Contemporary Art appreciation. Entrance is free.
7). Experience the nightlife in Changkat even when you’re pinching pennies, there are many clubs and bars that do not charge entry fees and offer free drinks for the ladies every day of the week. Visit Sky Bar at Traders Hotel for a fantastic clubbing experience with view of the entire city for free!
8). Visit the Petronas Twin Towers and experience the view from 1,500 meters high on the deck of the skybridge. Entry costs RM85 per person, but the view is well worth the price, especially at night. Kuala Lumpur Tower also offers a fantastic view at 790 feet above the ground, along with other fun activities for both adults and children. Ticket prices start from RM32 (depending on the package).
9). Check out cultural heritage sites such as Batu Caves, Sri Mahamariaman Hindu Temple, National Mosque (Masjid Negara), Little India and Sin Sze Si Ya Temple that won’t cost you a dime.
10). If a park visit is on your itinerary, enjoy a day in the sun at the Lake Gardens (known as Taman Botani Perdana in the local Malay language) that also houses the KL Bird Park, KL Butterfly Park and KL Deer Park. Admission to the Lake Gardens is free. Entrance fee of RM45 and RM18 respectively for the KL Bird Park and KL Butterfly Park.

Diamonds from the sky
Gotcha!
It was raining hailstones in parts of Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening. Here, a passer-by collecting hailstones that littered the Sungai Besi area after the heavy rain and hailstorm that wreaked havoc in many parts of the city.
As of 7pm, flash floods caused a traffic standstill around Batu Muda Tambahan towards Sentul, and along Jalan Hikmat Usaha near Masjid Wilayah, according to StarTraffic.
Flash floods were also reported near Tung Shin Hospital along Jalan Pudu, Jalan Imbi and the Shah Alam Highway (Kesas) at the Indah Parade intersection in Sri Petaling.
Traffic congestion was also reported along Jalan Duta, near Jalan Semantan and major highways heading into the city.
- The Star
See for yourself...
The Star also report that the harsh weather also brought ERL and LRT train services to a halt, stranding passengers after violent storms caused power disruptions to the Rapid KL’s LRT Sri Petaling Line.
The weather is sunny right now but the weatherman predicts another round of thunderstorm this evening. Brace for it, KLites!

A Chance to see Saturn in the sky Today
If you are in Malaysia today, you will get the rare chance of seeing planet Saturn either through a telescope, binoculars or even with the unaided eye when it is opposite the sun after sunset on June 3, which is today.
The Star reported:
National Space Agency (Angkasa) research officer at the Langkawi National Observatory, Farahana Kamarudin, said that at this time, the ringed planet would be at its closest to Earth.
"If you are viewing it with the unaided eye, it can be seen as a bright star," she told Bernama.
She said the planet would be in the east with the constellation Scorpio.
Farahana said Saturn could be viewed in an open space which is unhindered by clouds or light pollution.
"In fact, if you use the smartphone, you can use the Google Sky or StarMap software to help track the planet," she added.
She said Saturn takes 29.5 years (10,759 days) to complete its orbit around the Sun.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. For comparision, below is a composite image roughly comparing the sizes of Saturn and Earth - courtesy of Wikipedia.
To get a better picture of just how small Earth is compared with the rest of outer space, the following photos will help put our planet in perspective.
Saturn has a prominent ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and three discontinuous arcs and that is composed mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust.
Saturn's rings are so large that you can fit six Earths across them. The millions of ice particles that make up these rings are only as large as a few feet across for comparison.
