I find that that particular design as particularly friendly. It gave a no-frill experience for a majority of your visitors, whom I believe are there for the valuable statistics that you provide. Your department and your website play an important role in providing statistics to critical community.<\/p>\n<p>The new design is awkward, cumbersome and noisy. Yes, noisy. My ears hurt. Your corporate song that is on autoplay is distracting and annoying. I want stats, not music.<\/p>\n<p>I also do not want to know about your internal events and pictures of you awarding something to somebody. I do not want to listen to your director being interviewed in television.<\/p>\n<p>I want numbers and graphs instead, and probably some analyses as well.<\/p>\n<p>The only consolation I get is that you have removed the truly ugly 1Malaysia\u00a0symbol\u00a0from your banner.
