KUALA LUMPUR

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

MALAYSIAN police said yesterday they had arrested 16 people for fighting and sending out racially-charged phone messages during campaigning for national elections this weekend.A spate of text messages have been circulating urging ethnic Chinese and Indians to vote out Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s Malay-dominated coalition government, which has ruled since 1957.

And the government was yesterday forced to deny one SMS message which said the coalition would deploy motorbike hooligans known as “mat rempit” to stir up trouble on election day.

Deputy Information Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the message falsely claimed the mat rempit would harass voters and vandalise public property while wearing the opposition’s emblems.

Deputy police chief Ismail Omar said the 16 had been arrested in the past nine days, but would not say where the fights took place, name the individuals involved, nor reveal the contents of the texts. He added that they had been released on police bail.

“These people were involved in fighting and sending out all kinds of (phone text messages), some of which affect racial sentiments,” he said.

“When they do something that is damaging to the peace and security, it is our duty to act and if there is evidence, we can charge them under the Sedition Act,” he said.

“We have also received complaints about these messages from the public and we will investigate these persons and the matter thoroughly.

“We are keeping a close watch on them and have told them not to cause any trouble which can affect the elections.”

Electioneering in Malaysia is usually peaceful although a spate of protests by ethnic minorities and unhappiness over rising inflation and expected fuel hikes have driven many to the streets over the past few months.

Meanwhile Malaysia’s election commission dropped a plan yesterday to introduce indelible ink in Saturday’s general election, fuelling further opposition anger and raising fears of electoral cheating.

The panel had planned to use the ink – to be daubed on a voter’s finger to ensure he or she could not attempt to cast a second ballot – for the first time in the poll to help meet an opposition demand to combat electoral fraud.

Monday blues…

Sunday is ‘the most sleepless night of the week’ Monday, January 21, 2008

London, Jan 21 (ANI): Feeling listless and sleepy on Monday? Well, the condition might be explained by the fact that Sunday happens to be the most sleepless night of the week. The finding is based on a poll of 3,500 adults, commissioned by the hotel chain Travelodge, which found that nearly 60 per cent of workers sleep the worst on a Sunday.A bad night’s sleep certainly does have its repercussions, with one in four calling in sick at the start of the week, 46 percent being unable to concentrate at work, 30 percent showing an irritability towards their bosses and 20 percent dozing off at the desk. And if Sunday is the day when you get your worst night’s sleep, then Friday is the best, with eight in 10 people getting enough of time snoozing, reports the Telegraph.16 million adults in the UK say that they suffer regularly from insomnia, with the majority blaming work related concerns for keeping them awake. All that worry causes Brits to lose an average of 51 minutes of sleep each night. A figure that totals to a month’s worth of sleep every year. (ANI)

To all out there Happy Mardeka day.

Adios.

So get ready here we go again

At last it is coming…… here is what reported by nstonline

Task force to check on websites

By Deborah Loh
15 June, 2007A task force will be formed to study the need to regulate Internet sites with pornographic and seditious content. The cabinet approved the establishment of the task force at its meeting on Wednesday after a lengthy discussion.

It decreed that it should proceed with the study to ensure that any regulatory action is confined to the Multimedia Bill of Guarantees, which includes a provision not to censor the Internet.

Sources told the New Straits Times that the task force would tread carefully so as not to violate the bill and would study existing laws, such as the Sedition Act, to see how it could be expanded to include Internet content.

The sources said the regulatory powers were not meant to block or censor websites with such content, but to look at how warnings could be issued before action was taken.

The task force would also determine what sort of action was feasible, without contravening the Bill of Guarantees.

The websites to be monitored are those which contain pornographic material and those, including blogs, which carry seditious material.

“These include blogs which post inflammatory content against other races or religions and not just blogs on politics or those which criticise the government,” a source said.

Members of the task force are said to include high-ranking officers from the ministries of Science, Technology and Innovation, Information, Energy, Water and Communications, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Attorney-General’s Chambers, the police and CyberSecurity Malaysia.

The task force will study “tricky” issues like the problem of identifying anonymous bloggers, the handling of websites with servers located overseas, and the application of sedition law in cyberspace.

Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shahziman Mansor confirmed that the MCMC had been directed to conduct a study on the subject.

“Any action would be limited by the Multimedia Bill of Guarantees,” he said. “The issue of censoring the Internet does not arise. It is not easy to monitor millions of websites.

“Neither can we simply install filters for certain sites or people will accuse us of censorship,” Shahziman said. 

Happy Gawai celebration.

KUCHING: Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has been keeping mum amid allegations of corrupt practice hurled against him. But he could not have chosen a better forum to answer his critics yesterday.

Saying that the allegations would not only tarnish his image but also that of the state if left unanswered, he made a Personal Statement under standing order 22 on the first day of the Sarawak State Assembly meeting.

The chief minister refuted recent allegations and insinuations of corruption against him and unnamed “Sarawak officials”.

Rest of the report about “Taib refutes graft claims, to file suits” is here, and Jeff Oii of screenshots had more story here.

My New cyber base……

Phew……… Just finish importing all my stuff from my old blog. So will make a new start here.
