KUALA LUMPUR – Public can pose questions, comment and share thoughts with PM today.

Datuk Seri Najib Razak continues to extend his presence in cyberspace when he appears for the first time in an online chat with members of the public via NSTLive beginning at noon.

The session, using the CoverItLive live-blogging tool, will be a streaming conversation in real-time that will be hosted on the NST website. It will be moderated by the NST Online team. The public can participate in the chat by posting their questions, comments and thoughts for the prime minister. Text, images and videos will also be added to the live chat, so readers have a range of media to participate in. The sessions will be saved as a file post-event for visitors to view at a later time.

Readers who wish to take part can log in at www.nst.com.my/nstlive.

Though tomorrow’s session will begin at noon, the moderators will launch the session five to 10 minutes earlier to enable viewers to start posting their questions, comments and thoughts.

NST first introduced the NSTLive online chat with its coverage of the Kuala Terengganu by-election in January 2009. Since then, ministers, politicians, celebrities and other professionals have appeared as guests
