Blogging Caution

Blogging Caution

Interesting to see how much effect blogs can have in Malaysia. Of course I try to blog sensibly but we live in a global village now more than ever. Gossip and news spreads at the touch of a return key or a camera phone picture.

"The Prime Minister has issued a warning – those who spread untruths and slander on the Internet will face the law.

If information in blogs, websites and online portals were incorrect, bordered on slander, caused disturbance or compelled the public to lose faith in the nation’s economic policies, their authors would be detained for investigation, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. "

2 of the most outspoken blogs in Malaysia are Jeff Ooi's Screenshots and Lim Kit Siang's Blog.
Which are quite well edited and gives an insight into things not normally highlighted in the mainstream media. One would think that we are matured enough to decide for ourselves what is good and to throw away the rubbish.
