Bloggers Beware!

The headline in The Star caught my eye this morning. I was anxious to know what it was all about since t'was only 2 days ago that I started blogging. Lepas ni takleh nak blog la, i thought.... It said that the PM warned bloggers who spread untruths and slander on the Internet will face the law. Such a stern warning from the No. 1 man in Malaysia.... Well, I suppose he is feeling the heat from all the various comments made by certain bloggers about his administration, his famous son-in-law as well as the people at "Level 4". No doubt, Pak Lah and his government has been under the spotlight and has had its share of criticisms. And now it seems, the Government might be controlling Internet content. But Lim Keng Yeak, the Minister in charge stated that how could the Government control and censor the Net when it had pledged not to in promoting the MSC. So we have 2 contrasting views here..... As to which viewpoint will prevail, I suppose Pak Lah and Keng Yeak will have to decide in this morning's Cabinet meeting.

As for the me, I suppose I can still blog on as long as I am mindful of what I write. But should the Government decide to control the Net and its contents, I would think that it would be a tedious task and a rather unpopular one, both locally and internationally. We'll wait and see tomorrow's headlines.....
