Malaysia's Government to the cyberspace

News from The Star Online here.

My take on the government action to "meet" the bloggers in cyberspace is appropriate. They admitted that they're "lost" in the race of utilizing the new media during the 12th general election to reach the Malaysians. Their time has come (already CAME but take it for granted) to dive in and engaged bloggers in the blogosphere.

Our Deputy Prime Minister said that the government will not remain silent anymore in the cyberspace. IMO, actions will be taken to bloggers who posting baseless and wild allegations in their blogs that can cause severe wound to Malaysia's mulltiracial community and Malaysia's security. For example the Raja Petra case which Najib said he was charged with breaking the laws of the country by making baseless allegations and seditious remarks.

Now I'm waiting the reaction from other bloggers. I think the "taking action on daring bloggers" part could spark certain bloggers to raise the "freedom of speech" fight.

Tun M out, Ezam in?

The Star - Ezam to rejoin UMNO

Ezam as most Malaysian knows, he is the "orang kuat" for Anwar Ibrahim when the latter was detained in jail.

Tun Mahathir, no need more explanation. His name is already enough to make Malaysian proud to have a leader like him. And he is the "orang kuat" in UMNO.

Recently we know UMNO is fighting for its stability inside and outside of its party. Tun M membership resignation from UMNO was like a shot-in-the-head for the party. But one promising leader who many said as "the rising star", Ezam, are to rejoin UMNO. This should be a blow to PKR as Ezam was the PKR Youth leader.

The questions arise from my mind, can Ezam persuade PKR's members to rejoin UMNO too for strengthening the party and its support from the Malay? Can he be the savior to solve UMNO's current problem - "perpecahan"?
