Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin mengatakan, 'There were articles critizing the government. We also sent in many replies but they were removed by the bloggers"

Ada beberpa perkara yang perlu diperhatikan mengapa keadaan jadi begini.

i. Bukankah kerajaan ada saluran media yang boleh menyampaikan apa sahaja maklumat yang hendak disampaikan oleh kerajaan.

ii. Apakah perlunya segala maklumat mesti disampaikan melalui bloggs?

iii. Kenyataan DS Khaled itu membayangkan media arus perdana (elektronik dan cetak) sudah tidak ada kredibiliti dan sudah tidak relevan lagi kepada rakyat.

Kenyataan DS Khaled itu agak merbahaya kepada kesinambungan media arus perdana.

Now that the bloggers have stole the votes from the BN, the government is willing to accept the wave of blogs however they are only sensitive to what negative information are portrayed about them. They are only interested to filter the negative connotation on the government.

Until the government readily BLOG-OUT their own wrong-doings would I give them any credit at being transparent. Before that I am sticking my resources to 3rd parties.

Why musy you all stupidly clarify any 'false' reporting on the websites. You know that websites are not beholden to BN or UMNO and defintely would not spin any lies.
Did you complain wjen the mainstream media tell white lies to the nation. Did you complain that mainstream media only reports favourably of BN during GE while telling all the 'bad' points of opposition?
This is definitely the case of tasting your own poison!!!

Awww, their comments are getting deleted, so what? Maybe the bloggers do not like the tone of voice in those comments or simply no comments have been made and as usual they're spreading FUD. Also I think it it up to the blogger to moderate their comments. Personally I would disable the comment option to prevent spam, flames, and the likes. What a blogger does with his or her blog is up to the blogger. Also what is stopping them from getting an account on MT and comment here like we do? It would also be nice to provide some examples of their feedback and to which sites so we can verify if they statements are true or false. This is yet another un-journalistic report by the star who seem to be nothing more than a sock-puppet for the BN. Any good journalist would've asked for proof, examples, etc, etc

I need to do a double on what I wrote earlier at 'The real issues'......

Romerz’s about asking RPK appealing to the silent majority …. One big problem …. most people who make comments here are of one mentality. It’s like they have to think one way, to be and for everything RPK says … to belong?? You can see the arrows going up when you’re for him and the BR. And see how fast the arrows go down if you have contrary ideas or anything that seems remotely contrary or favoring the BN. It’s like their minds are frozen and cannot be melted even when exposed to awareness.

These “In-the=box thinkers” find it difficult to recognize the quality of any opposing view. In fact, they can be very obstinate to views that are contrary to RPK’s. All the negativity is draining the enthusiasm and passion of the silent majority who could be … for or could be neither for nor against any party, but …. whose only wish is for the country to move forward to a better tomorrow no matter who the governing body. The boxed-thinkers have this stubborn idea that giving the ruling party a chance to solve problems is a waste of time. How can that be? Fact is, we do need the ruling party and state governments to work amicably together to solve the problems of this country for the next five years. Even CM Lim has taken the first step by meeting the PM when he landed in Penang yesterday. He may be damned for this but for me? It’s a good thing! My solution? The election is over, stop all the negativity, we need both sides to work together for our own good. Give credit where credit is due and damn whoever, whenever and wherever appropriate no matter whose party it is.

D-G: Only ministry officers allowed at school functions

JOHOR BARU: Only officers from the Education Ministry are allowed to officiate at school functions to prevent such functions from being politicised.

Ministry director-general Datuk Alimuddin Mohd Dom said that that the ministry would be sending out circulars to all schools next week as a reminder, but stressed that it was not a new ruling.

According to him, those who were allowed to officiate school events included the Education Minister, the deputy minister, the director-general, and state level Education Department directors and their representatives.

“The school principals have to write to their respective Education Departments if they want to invite anyone outside and obtain permission from the state director.”

He was responding to questions from the media as to whether schools had been told not to invite or have dealings with politicians who were not from Barisan Nasional.

When asked if it meant that all politicians, including the Mentri Besar or Chief Ministers would no longer be allowed to officiate at school functions, Alimuddin reiterated that the approval had to come from the state Education director.

“The approval is subject to the discretion of the director. We have given them that power,” he said at a press conference after launching the national level Gala C-Curriculum celebrations here yesterday.

He refused to elaborate when asked if the Education directors had been instructed not to approve requests for visits by politicians from Opposition parties.

“This is a simple matter, don’t sensationalise it,” he said.

Opposition to bid for Deputy Speaker’s post

By LEE YUK PENG and ZULKIFLI ABD RAHMAN
PETALING JAYA: With 82 seats under their control, the Opposition parties want to set a precedent in the Dewan Rakyat by proposing one of their MPs for the post of Deputy Speaker.

Outgoing Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang said he had written to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on March 25 asking for a consensus on the matter. The Speaker and the two deputies were usually elected by MPs.

He said in return, the Opposition could agree to a consensus on the Speaker and the other deputy.

“More Opposition MPs have been elected, and this new form of balance and political diversity should be reflected in the House,” said Lim, who is the DAP adviser.

At the same time, a new parliamentary convention could be set where parties from both benches could work together on certain matters, he added.

DAP chairman Karpal Singh proposed Kepong MP Dr Tan Seng Giaw as candidate for deputy speaker.

“It is fair to have an Opposition MP as one of the two deputy speakers with so many Opposition MPs in the House now.

“Dr Tan is very conversant in Bahasa Malaysia and he does not create trouble,” he added.

That is the stupidest statement I have ever read. The internet is a free forum.

1) You do not have Printing, Presses and Publications Act. You do not have to have annual renewal or have to have some body to give you a license to publish anything.

2) You can open any blog anytime to "explain issues" . It is as easy as A, B, C . It is free. You do not even have to pay for it.

3) You can easily register as a commenter in ********.com . There is no restriction from the site to disallow Barisan Nasional people. There is no such function.

That is a very stupid statement, dear Khalid. I am really shocked. Have you surfed the net before? Maybe you should write something more profound. With people like you, is that why the status of our Higher Education Institutes go from bad to worse?

Is this your face, Khaled?

You lament that Bloggers erased gomen's message. You know what? The Gomen for the last 50 years is like a beautiful german shepherd dog but taken care off by people who do not know how to rear a pedigree dog; let alone a pariah dog.

A pedigree german shepherd, if well groom, would be very loving to anyone who loves it, but would bite if threathen with harm, to itself or to it's owner.
But you Baruah Nationalist dont know how to rear this beautiful dog, has grown up and just bite anybody that walk faster than you"".

This pleasure of simply biting anyone has make people hate this BN dog; beautiful to look at, but waiting for a day they can kill this dog.

Now, this dog is is old and getting wiser, because it has lost its fangs and NOW WANTS TO BE FRIENDLY. It is beginning to wag it's tail. Yes, wagging it's tail dont guarranttee that this mad dog do not bite again.
So you see, people just do not rust you BN dog anymore. That is why , your reply to bloggers are now erased.

Now, we are looking at the blogs to respond to them but are prevented from doing so,” he said.

Mohamed Khaled said he would bring up the issue in the next Cabinet meeting

It is really SAD & SCARY when a Higher Education Minister voiced his opinion is such a manner.

Education is a forefront of the dynamics & progress of a country, If the Country is in need to propel itself then the Education Policy must be formulated,emulated and executed by leaders who are credible, academically inclined, resourceful and highly experienced & renowned in education field.

Just a small piece of advice:-

Agenda setting in news media is set by news editors. Locally this is done by politicians who have not undergone any training or even have any idea or clue what on the definition of media itself.

Maybe MCA Life Long Free Education can be extended to all these Jokers including MCA President & Brother himself. Courses to offer including Mass Communications:- PR, Advertising ( otherwise MCA will be talking about only on OKT's achievement on prime time advertisements); Broadcasting; Sciences; Business Management; Social Sciences etc etc; Just imagine the costs of advertising in Prime Time Media & major news paper the funds that can be channeled to help our Poor Malaysians Indian,Chinese, Malays, Bumiputras & all Malaysians at large.

Perhaps for a START influencing 5 years old in Kindergarten as practice will have better leverage where every child is subject to all sound proof BN propaganda.When they grow up they can recognize & programmed with only one SYMBOL.

Otherwise; Forensic Science ( CSI ) can help our politicians by spreading open their brains to examine what is actually hampering their mental faculty.

It is ironical that Mohd Khaled has talked about the inaccuracies of some of the statements and articles which are posted by bloggers. Perhaps he, like his other fellow ministers and government officials, has just woken from deep slumber. Does he not realise that bloggers provide what the MSM does not i.e. providing accurate information and news (which the MSM does not or cannot). If he is worried about the alleged "inaccuracies" it would be logical for him to use the MSM to rectify this. But the government has shot itself in the foot by using the MSM as its mouthpiece and thereby killed whatever credibility such media should have. It just shows that the alternative media (blogs} is widely read and trusted by the majority of its readers. Perhaps the said minister should use whatever grey matter he has between his ears to figure this one out. The government did not allow the MSM to cater to those who were critical of the government. Why should bloggers now have to allow themselves to be manipulated by them??

I just hope this is not the beginning of some shady strategy by the government to initiate action to control bloggers on the grounds that Malaysians are misled by blogs and therefore are detrimental to the racial harmony and well-being of the people. One can never take for granted anything uttered by the government through its agents. They have conned us before so let's be alert to any skullduggery by BN.
