Faster repo site for Debian users in Malaysia

Last 2 days, I was asking (in #IRC channel #ubuntu-my) for faster link for my Debian repository to be included into my /etc/apt/sources.list because my current selection link to USA site is too slow and also my last testing with link to Taiwan and Hong Kong is not good also. The suggested link is as follows:

ftp://www.anheng.com.cn/debian/

And when browse to the site I can find this file with a list of other mirror sites for too Debian. So, I am getting good speed for the repo, I can try for other link.

ftp://www.anheng.com.cn/debian/README.mirrors.txt

However, base on my few testings, I realised the fastes link to Debian repo is
http://debian.nctu.edu.tw/debian/
And my current /etc/apt/sources.list content is as follows:

deb http://debian.nctu.edu.tw/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
### Security Updates Stable ###
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib non-free
# Never use it if your goal is to install on stable server
# deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

    I have been using this mirror site from debian.nctu.edu.tw (Taiwan) - which is faster mirror compare to the original default repo site, but today I just discovered another nearer mirror site mirror.oscc.org.my (Malaysia), and I think it will be faster link than from Taiwan.
