Here's the shocking little news I read today:
Malaysia considering China style internet censorship
WHAT THE HELL?
Controlling 'bad elements'? I know Singapore monitors their citizens blogging a lot and ban a lot of porn websites... and China has this Great Firewall of China or something that blocks all the 'evil western influence'....
But I'd never expect this kind of problem to start hitting Malaysia. I mean... WTF?! Next thing you know, I can't even access my blogger account anymore just like when I was in China 2 months ago.
No doubt the government wants to block these rogue bloggers who are like super anti the establishment... Perhaps its not unfair for the government to keep these rogue bloggers under control.. but as for the rest of us normal bloggers here in Malaysia, ranting on about which store has the best char koay teow and why we think nasi lemak should be our national dish.. the idea that our internet be censored just irks us out...
I wonder what our good all Dr. M will say about this (if any at all)... go check out his blog. btw.. Dr. M must be like the coolest ex-PM our country has had so far.. what with a blog of his own and all... I can't forsee Pak Lah having such widely followed blog.. it's probably be filled with zZzz's!! :p
