The Pakatan Rakyat has just launched a campaign to boycott Utusan Malaysia and Mingguan Malaysia for their unfair reporting and racial sentiment.
It was a bizarre move by Pakatan… for all this while they are fighting for freedom of speech, and now they are, asking people to boycott the papers for their biasness. Such an irony.
I do read Utusan occasionally, and I know how pro-BN and racial biased they could be when reporting certain issues… but that doesn’t mean that they are liars.
Chinese papers are often bias when reporting some racial issues too… Hishammudin’s keris wielding for example was widely criticised in Chinese papers, while the Malay papers were more protective towards the same news.
Sometimes, there is no absolute answer to right or wrong in certain matters… it’s just about sharing different point of views, which is not really a bad thing for better understanding among Malaysians.
Besides, the blogosphere are more biased in favour of Pakatan than the mainstream media for BN… we are the worst when it comes to biasness. So, should BN supporters launch a boycott campaign against the bloggers in return?
So much so for freedom of speech.
Here comes the real heavyweight… Mahathir is now a blogger.
The blog has garnered almost 300,000 visitors in just 7 days, pretty amazing.
BN leaders are joining the blog-wagon as if it’s a gold mine. Here comes the latest… Muhammad Muhd Taib.
Well, he is the Umno information chief after all, he needs to lead the cyber-evolution for the party. However, a blog is just a medium to share thoughts and information; it doesn’t help if the politicians are not doing their best to make the country a better place.
The Chinese writings are unnecessary, really… if we want to build a Malaysia for all Malaysians, at least show some courtesy to write in a language that everyone can understand. I know, the blog provides English version of the Chinese articles as well… but why not just in English, or perhaps in BM instead?
Former Selangor MB, Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo, has launched his own blog.
I have read some sarcastic comments on other blogs about Khir’s motive. The fact that he is going to moderate the comments at the blog is not going to be welcomed by the public…
I don’t blame him for that though; some Malaysians are immaturely abusing the freedom of speech… and considering his dent reputation among anti-BN supporters, his blog would be flooded with pointless verbal abuse, which probably deserves some moderation.
I hope that he won’t be stupid enough to block proper comments which share different point of views, and that he would share his real thoughts instead of making it solely for propaganda purpose.
Set the agendas and motives aside… it should be a welcome move to see political leaders expressing their thoughts directly to the public and to receive feedback. Give him a chance shall we?
Advertlets (advertlets.com), one of the two major online advertising networks in Malaysia, is facing a huge crisis… it seems like they have forgotten to renew their domain name.
Forgetting to renew a domain name is probably the lowest mistake any webmaster could make. It would be dumb enough if it is committed by an amateur webmaster; it was simply unthinkable for a supposedly ‘professional’ web based company to make this mistake.
Besides, websites that were running their ads were redirected to the domain registrar’s domain parking page… it simply means that Advertlets had bought down hundreds or thousands of websites that ran their ads.
(It’s advisable for Advertlets publishers to remove the Advertlets ad code at the moment until Advertlets could settle the issue)
Advertlets still have some time to renew their domain before it is being snapped by opportunists. Regardless, it is a huge mistake that seriously dampened their reputation (their reputation was already debatable to start with) and credibility.
If you do run a website… please remember to renew your domain name; make it a top priority. I would suggest webmasters to extend your domain ownership years in advance. This website domain (Yeinjee.com) for example… would not be expiring until 2017.
Update Jan 7 – Advertlets is back; their boss Josh Lim has apologised and explained about what has happened (not much details though).
