The more the govt bans, the more the rakyat will want to see & hear fr the alternative media – internet.

If the govt didn’t ban Namewee, we would not know & we will not visit You-tube to watch.

When the BN govt thought they are smart confiscating Malaysiakini’s computers etc etc, Malaysiakini became famous & is a key media to help BN lose badly in this GE.

So BN – continue your mistakes, it won’t take long before you will be out of Parliment.

So it beats me what the 4 big posters with the words “BUAT KERJA” hanging on the outside of the KL Courts complex really mean. Does it imply that the civil servants and judges within this complex will only begin working NOW, as they were all SLEEPING previously? This amounts to a self confession of the incapabilities of these people within and if senior judges working within this building saw what I saw, they should demand that this STUPID posters be taken down immediately!!!!

It was proven beyond any doubt that controlling all the media could not cover all the one sided lies thrown to the Malaysian public, so I wonder why the need to ban any paper? Is it so that the Indians could only read those papers published by Samy?
It is really an act of futility by someone bankrupt of better ideas to serve the nation! Those who you could lead by the nose couldnot read anyway; and among those who can read and write they will prefer the newer media. So why waste the energy and creating indignation doing such superficial action?
It is sure sign of desperation in action by a party to whom we have had given 50 years of our time and life with an expectation that was eventually destroyed through arrogance and deceits. Nothing less!!

I still maintain that religious values should not intrude on the private lives of citizens and Article 3 of our Constitution did not open the door to it!

I think our constitution allows us the choice of spending the evening with Rose Chan and her snake or the serpent, the apple and the Tree of Knowledge.

I am sorry, i think i did not make mayself very clear earlier. I repost here:
How much of “things” we reminiscence, like Rose Chan, mini skirts and tank tops as well as Malay girls rolled up their sarongs just above the breasts are due purely to our own doing, i.e. the M force or whatever? Did global resurgence of Islam especially after the Iranian revolution as well as PAS’s forever “piousness” play a part too?

These people really dont understand. The more they do the more hatre they get. During the result of the election and until now there are not much of coverage on the winning party and even so they don’t publicize the whole truth but only a little bit there and here. You think we are very stupid leaving in zaman purba. Even the housewife and grandmother know how to use internet lah. BODOH. So you people who likes to shut down there and here, better shut down the internetlah, BODOH.

I say again…PR MUST topple the faggot BN government if we are to even inch ahead. BN was and never will be for the people. Forget what you read in MSM. Actions speak louder than words. So far only PR states are working. BN government still fighting amongst themselves for self preservation. Nothing will move in M’sia till end of 2008. Bless us all!

All claims that Malaysia, our beloved country, is a democracy sound like rubbish.

Zero tolerance for dissenting views.
Zero tolerance for different opinions.
Zero tolerance for being yourself.
Zero tolerance for being different.
Zero tolerance for opposition.
Zero tolerance for ‘no-man’. (as opposed to yes-man)
Zero tolerance for standing up to your basic rights.
Zero tolerance for not conforming.

And yet the people up there always claim to be fair to all and upholding the Federal Constitution.

Well, let the people be the judge.

Oops…wondering if the ISA would be used against me for just voicing my views….better shhhh..

Was there any doubt that this would happen? Did anyone think that UMNO (again, the lapdogs MCA, MIC & Gerakan are irrelevant!) would not do this?

Yeah, the General Election-12 was all about rejecting BN/Umno for their arrogance, incompetence, corruption and judiciary rot. Even if my dog was put a candidate, she would have won a seat, hands down!

To blame AAB is convenient. Infact the whole bunch of them should go. I just can’t wait for Pakatan Rakyat to bulldoze them down all the way.

Chong Zhemin may be right. It’s possible if the 5 State goverment has the will to go ahead. Under Printing Press and Publication Act, state governments are exempted from licensing under PPPA.

Why are we so sure that the replacement of AAB will be protective of M legacy? After all didn’t M appoint AAB thinking that everything is going to the alright? After 22 years in power, he thinks he can do no wrong. He blames AAB alright. The reality is if he had appointed N as his successor in 2004, the March 8 2008 results would still be not much of the difference. Do we really think N would have done things differently? It is the decadent of whole UMNO, not just one or two of its leaders. UMNO must reach the bottom before there is any hope of rejuvenation, irrespective of whether the majority now in UMNO belong to force 1 or force 2 as described by Jeffrey.
