Bloggers Are NOT Stupid

Bloggers Are Not Stupid

.


Is Abdullah Ready for a War of Technology?

.

Controlling the mainstream media and manipulating them for government propaganda is just not enough. That is the hidden message our PM, Abdullah tried to tell everybody today while officiating a investment programme in Kuala Lumpur. He says, government's indifference towards the internet had cost them dearly. " Young people nowadays are getting information through sms-es and also online." & " It is a serious mistake that we the government did not pay much attention to the hightech media."


.
I hope this is a time when all the Barisan Nasional leaders have to start giving freedom and not controlling the mainstream media. To me, personally, this would only cause irritation to the citizens as they felt that they're being fooled like kids.


.
There is a chinese proverb " when things come to an extreme, they would certainly go against the force" , and I believe this is what had happened to the Malaysian politics. The only "On Air" time for the opposition party was when opposition is to take any blame from the government, and also when the Anwar-dancing-video kept repeating over and over again.

I Not Stupid 2 !



.
And I can still remember very clearly when our brother, Zainudin Maidin openly critisized bloggers as " stupid ". Whats more is that, I've seen the Circular warning published to warn all the Newspaper publishers not to take any information from the Blogs as their stories. To me, one of the biggest mistake for Abdullah was not being unable to take incharge of the internet, but it is indeed the government's disrespect to the internet users,especially the bloggers and also to the whole blogosphere.
