| MCMC 'exercising its power' to tell ISPs to block RPK's site |

Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar, the Home Minister said that the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission was ‘exercising its power’ after directing the 19 ISPs (Internet Service Providers) to block Raja Petra Kamarudin’s website, Malaysia Today.
He said “Everyone is subject to the law, even websites and blogs. We do not intend to curtail people’s freedom or right to express themselves. But when they publish things that are libellous, slanderous or defamatory, it is natural for SKMM to act,†Raja Petra said that the action had contradicted the 10 Point of Guarantees under the MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor) charter which states that there would be ‘No Internet Cencorship’. Ahirudin Attan, the interim President of the National Alliance of Bloggers said "The promise was made not only to Malaysians but to the world that there will be no censorship of the Internet in the country. Google is planning to build a multibillion-ringgit datacentre here. If this is the way the Commission behaves, it is as good as telling Google to please go away." While V Gayathry, the executive director of The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) said "The Commission and the Government should acknowledge that the problem at hand is the failure of the mainstream media to fulfil its duties in reporting information adequately, truthfully and fairly," Even Datuk Ong Tee Keat, the vice-president of MCA voiced a similar sentiment where he wrote in his blog, “Under the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Bill of Guarantees, the government promised there would be no censorship of the Internet. I do not understand why the SKMM is resorting to this. We should let the courts decide his fate. In fact, it is foolish to think that online censorship works effectively. There are still many other ways for surfers to access the portal.†-Zen, Malaysia Today Comments

Well done BN.. Please la.. use some common sense, I would certainly allow RPK to do this noble work because it helps BN from going down to the ground and doing research. End of the month submit your claims for the work RPK has done. On Malaysia Today, BN can get 1st hand information to clear your closet. Just a joke to remind you how efficient & effective is Free Press.. Charles: How did Quenn Elizabeth find out about her pregnancy? Ong: From the newspaper!! report abuse

My 11-year old son also know how to source a subject from internet if he cannot find from one particular website.

The only thing I can do is EMBRACE, provide guidance to my son ........because the more I hide the more curious my son will become......

It just shows the gov't doesn't learn from their mistakes. They should find out why the rakyat is against the gov't and rectify on the problem rather than banning MT. The HM should realise this by now. Whenever there's an action taken against the rakyat there's a reaction. Be matured politicians, solve problems and not creating all sorts of slanderous remarks against your opponent.

my friends studying overseas (US n German) told me that the isp there is so much better than streamyx.. they said, it's like heaven and earth when you compare the speed, bandwith, cost, etc etc between isp there and streamyx. That means, streamyx is suck and its getting GaYeR when they blocked MT. But they didn't realize that the webmaster has a backup and it takes only few hours to upload it onto new website. That's why the new MT website appear just a few hours after blocked by TMnet. report abuse
