  1. Re:Blog doesn't mean what it used to by raju1kabir · · Score: 1 · on Malaysian Candidates Required to Have Blogs

    Unfortunately, no serious politician, Malaysian or otherwise, is really going to put their unedited musings online.

    Jeff Ooi, Penang MP, has blogged regularly for many years and continues to do so. His political career started on his blog.

    And Lord, if he has an editor, they ought to be fired. I more or less like Jeff, but he posts some really incoherent, raving, and ill-informed rants sometimes. He runs the comments section like BN exercises the ISA - with swift and sometimes pre-emptive attacks on detractors, punctuated by frequent disappearances.

    The whole incident started when Malaysia Malay language newspaper "Berita Harian" inappropriate held jeffooi responsibility to a commenters comments while Jeffooi blog about "money politics" issue in Malaysia
    http://www.jeffooi.com/archives/2004/10/screenshot s_vil.php

    "Berita Harian" is a subsidiaries of the huge Malaysia media group NSTP(New Strait Time Press). Although NSTP is a public listed company, more than 50% shares of NSTP are held by the incumbant political party.

    OTH, the online Malaysia paper, Malaysiakini (www.malaysiakini.com) faced the same fates in year 2002, where the authority held Malaysiakini responsibility to 3rd party comments pubish by Malaysiakini. Malaysia police confiscate 19 computers from Malaysiakini after a report from the incumbant political party members.

    The chronology of the Malaysiakini is available here

  3. This is appalling by Daedala · · Score: 1 · on Detention Threat for Malaysian blogger

    ...on two counts. One, that negative comments about Islam (or Christianity, or Republicans, or Democrats) could be considered a crime, and two, that they arrested someone who didn't actually make them. I don't know whether to hope they find the person who made the comments or not. I suppose that putting into law the idea that you are responsible for users' actions might be worse than suppressing free speech.

    No, major news sources regularly write up standard articles/obituaries for old famous people. In fact, last year in April, CNN accidentally made public obituaries on their website for Cheney, Reagan, the Pope, Fidel Castro, and others.

  5. Uh - shouldn't they sue themselves? by teamhasnoi · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Adrian Lamo Surrenders
    They left the site open. Do I get to sue Microsoft for servers that I don't patch? (Please?...)

    Besides, I'm thinking that there was more than 300,000 dollars worth of damage to their reputaion after this.

    They need look no further than their own offices to find fault.
