The Internet Phobia/Paranoia has struck another Malaysian Information minister.
Minister Rais Yatim warns Malaysians to be wary of Facebook and Twitter.
Malaysians who use internet services on social networking sites should be careful with what they see and hear.
To comfort himself perhaps, he said that we should not be quick to condemn or look down on those who do not use Facebook.
He said that newspapers (meaning BN controlled rags) are still relevant, so is Facebook but do not be carried away with everything and disregard the old system.
Why do all our info ministers get dumbstruck with fear by this interet/ networking phenomenon ?

Cave man Fuad
This chap Fuad Zakarshi must have been living in a cave all these years, with only Utusan and Umno cyber punks to inform and entertain him.
This caveman really believes that Anwar Ibrahim and Raja Petra are buddy-buddy with ex NST chief Kalimullah.
Kalimullah despises both of them, and now he despises Fuad Zakarshi.

Let It Be
As a Muslim, I feel very very ashamed about my misguided and extremist Muslim brothers who had attempted to burn a few churches in KL and Selangor.
I understand that they are very angry about the recent court decision which allowed the Catholic Herald newsletter to use the name Allah in translation for the name God in its Malay language edition, for the benefit of the East Malaysian Christians who are not English language literate.
My brothers, that's not the way to show your dissatisfaction. Not by burning the places of worship of other religions.That will make people hate us Muslims even more.
The govt has already said it will appeal the decision through a higher court. So, let it be.
To my Christian friends, you should feel grateful you have won this battle.
For the sake of peace and harmony in this country, I leave it to the wisdom of your leaders.
Let it be.
