Congratz Mr President, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama
Hat off to the First Afican-American President of the United States of America, Mr Barack Hussein Obama.
I would like to congratulate as you enter the oval office today and give hopes to a new beginning for the US of A and also the world.
Hopefully, other countries will follow suit to elect people in power for their prowess and ability to lead and not based on anything else.....
Hope that my country will follow suit and not just elect people base on an organization but base on their leadership and able to steer out of any crisis that our country is facing....
Could there be a "pendatang" becoming the next Prime Minister??? A Chinese PM or an Indian PM or other ethnic minority becoming PM???? hope so....
But that'll be like wishing Malaysia to snow.......
Something to think about....
I leave you guys with the inauguration speech from Mr. Barack Obama.
Cheers!!!

Word of Encouragement for 2009
Hi Friends，
Pls read….nice word
小心讀每一個，再用一兩秒想一想
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我愛你不是因為你是誰，而是我在你面前可以是誰。
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
沒有男人或女人是值得你為他流眼淚，值得的那一位，不會要你哭。
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
那人不是你所想般愛你，但不代表那人不是全心全意地愛你。
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
一個真正的朋友是向著你伸手，觸動你心靈的人。
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
掛念一個人最差的方式，就是你坐在他身旁，而知道你不能擁有他。
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
就算你不快樂也不要皺眉，因為你永不知道誰會愛上你的笑容。
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不要花時間在一個不會花時間在你身上的人。
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when
we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
可能神要我們在遇到那位對的人之前先遇上一些錯的人，讓我們遇到那位對先生/對小姐時懂得珍惜。
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因為完結而哭，要為曾經發生而微笑。
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting
and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
這個世界永遠也會有一些傷害你的人，你要做的就是繼續去信人和小心你下次信的人。
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
在你嘗試了解其他人和盼望其他人明白你之前，先把你自己變成一個更好的人和了解你自己。
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要太努力去找，最好的東西是在你最預計不到的時候出現。Thursday, January 01, 2009
4th year today.....
WoW.....didnt notice that my blog has be collecting dust for the past 3 months......i had to post this as it's my 4th year "so-called" blogging....zzz
Nothing much to share aside from the futsal torney, my injuries, thankgiving makan, steamboats, work, work and more work!!.....
I just writing anything from the top of my head....
Oh ya....just started DOTA recently and still sucks at it......
Event's aside......it's 2009!!! and nothing to be surprised about it......still same old, same old me!
It's been a so-so year for me in 2008...... Taking things for granted.....letting go what's mine, didn't appreciate what's in front of me.......no guts to stand up for it....haihzzz
Felt like i've wasted a year of my life and hope to that i can rewind back to last year.....
To scared of confrontation and confession, to pain to live with it even more....
It was in front of my eyes, yet i chose to just ignore it where i can just confront....coz' the first time, it hurts, i doubt the second time would be less painful.....
WHY!!!! am i such a coward.......putting a mask on just to cover my real face.....
Wish that this year i stand up and speak up what lies in my heart.....
My main resolution for this year......
Dunno when i'll be blogging again......as if anyone reads it.....
Take Care,...

Datuk Bollywood??
Few days ago, i came across an article about the datukship awards on the Sultan of Malacca's birthday last Saturday.....for everyone who is still blur......Every time when our Sultan has a birthday, datukship is always given out....normal lah for anyone who originated from Malacca and has done something to promote either our country to the world or their contribution towards our country........or if you happen to be married to royalty or even a person who has Datukship status....then you're next in line......
I was suprised that the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM) was awarded to Shah Rukh Khan.....
That's right....SHAH RUKH KHAN!!!!!
I was, like, WTF?????
The the Chief Minister(CM) and explain that Shah Rukh Khan's movie, One 2 Ka 4 has scenes of Malacca.....i watched it before i just glance through the Malacca scene very fast.....dunno if you call that "promoting Malacca"....For further details, please ask Tun Daim Zainuddin....
Pretty dumb if you ask me....simply giving out Datukship...
oh wait.....Malaysia Boleh!!! lolzzz everything also boleh
If that's the case of "promoting the country", there a lot more candidate for Datukship in the near future that are not Malaysia....
1) Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment
If anyone deserve Datukship, is either one of them.....this movie has scenes of KLCC twin tower from start to finish.....compare to One 2 Ka 4......few scenes here and there only......but i think that won't be the case as Sean Connery is already knighted.....but, in Malaysia, you can be Sir Datuk Seri Thomas Sean Connery......and who wouldn't like Datuk Catherine Zeta-Jones......kinda lame...huh??
2) Chow Yun Fatt and Jodie Foster in Anna and the King
This movie was filmed in Malaysia, all the supporting cast are mostly local actors, can say buatan Malaysia. Even the premier was in Malaysia.....not only both of them should get Datukship, also the people behind the movie, the directors, producers, all the actors, and the person suggested the place......What??? correct what......this movie got Oscar normination you know?? It's like Lee Chong Wei winning silver in the olympic.....almost the same what.....Datukship given to second best.....no offences to Datuk Lee Chong Wei.....
3) Jackie Chan in Police Story 3: Supercop
Michelle Yeoh has it, for sure Jackie Chan's Datukship award will come soon.....This movie promote KL tower, Bukit Bintang and the Golden triangle.....the Malaysia scene was running about half the movie......Not enough of "promoting" time...i don't think so...I think they are more worthy to receive Datukship if the criteria is "just" to promote Malaysia.....Im promoting Malaysia through my blog and you don't see me getting any awards of Datukship.....lolzz....
PS. I dont think Datukship is equvilant to a knighthood......it's like a malay proverb, Bagai langit dengan bumi (it's like comparing heaven and earth)

[untitled] -rant post
Suddenly got the urged to blog at 6am.......got insomnia this full day due to the new project im doing currently......Only been sleeping a few hours a day.....zzzz
Lately, been feeling a bit isolated....towards girls especially. Last time, i'll be smiling to them, they smile back, striking a conversation with them, having a nice yamcha session, hanging out, etc....
Now, it's not even 'hi-bye' anymore.......just walk past and not say anything.......not even an eye contact and the worst part is......been given the cold shoulder.....brrrrr
Most girls are famous for this, especially the decent-looking-above-average type of girls.....that's ok coz you girls don't want to mix with the low-life type of people you call guys.
I understand, but the worst part is, the fugly ones that are their friends also gives you the same cold shoulders......seriously........(pause)
I have no idea why this happened.....i started getting this last month, dunno why.....as if they knew about the skeletons in my closet came out.....everyone has skeletons in their closet and it being revealed really sucks....thats how i feel lah.....no one will ask or enquire from you and just keep their distances from you......most cases, if they do ask you, you'll just denied it just to sav face......
I admit, i do have some stuff that even my closest friend even have no idea.....Everyone has their secrets and it's not for the public eye to know about it......I'll bring it to my grave then revealing it to anyone......
For sure it wont be in this blog.......NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
Anyway, it's just something that i need to get off my chest.......most girls are ice queens......too high and mighty.......*pui*
look in the mirror and this time look properly before you pass judgement on other people and put yourself iin my shoe.....you'll see you are know different then other people.......

Eat more and lose weight
Sorry for the lack of updates.....Been either busy or just plain lazy....(hey! it rhymes! lolzz) I came across an interesting article which many thought it was possible to do.....
Before i continue, whoever is puasa-ing now, please refrain from reading my blog futher as im scared you guys cannot tahan and break you fast.....not my problem if you continue......
Lose weight by eating!!!...... WoW!!!Heaven for glutton and foodies alike.....(including me!).....Sarah wrote on her blog about food and feels a bit guilty after gobbling everything (i digress a bit..) and wanted to lose weight by execising.....but don't have much determination to do it.....
Well, Sarah, today is your lucky day(if you're reading this.......dun worry, this includes me also.....)
20 superfoods for weight loss
Curbing hunger is as easy as piling your plate with this whole grain. It packs both fiber (2.6 grams per 1/2 cup) and protein, a stellar nutrient combo that can keep you satisfied for hours, says chef Sarah Krieger, R.D., spokeswoman in St. Petersburg, Florida, for the American Dietetic Association.
Eat more Serve quinoa instead of rice with stir-fries, or try Krieger's take on a scrumptious hot breakfast: Cook 1/2 cup quinoa in 2/3 cup water and 1/3 cup orange juice for 15 minutes. Top with 1 tbsp each of raisins and chopped walnut*Never seen it before in my life but it does resemble a bit like couscous*
SteakBeef has a rep as a diet buster, but eating it may help you peel off pounds. In a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women on a diet that included red meat lost more weight than those eating equal calories but little beef. "The protein in steak helps you retain muscle mass during weight loss," says study author Manny Noakes, Ph.D. Try to consume local organic beef; it's healthier for you and the environment.
Eat more Grill or broil a 4-ounce serving of top round or sirloin; slice thinly to top a salad, or mix with veggies for fajitas.
*Wow!!!! i heart steak...mmmm.....best diet food ever!!!*
EggsDig in to eggs, yolks and all: They won't harm your heart, but they can help you trim inches. Women on a low-calorie diet who ate an egg with toast and jelly each morning lost twice as many pounds as those who had a bagel breakfast with the same number of calories but no eggs, a study from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge reports. "Egg protein is filling, so you eat less later in the day," says David Grotto, R.D., author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life (Bantam).
Eat more Omelets and scrambles are obvious choices, but if you can't cook before work, bake a frittata on Sunday; chill it and nuke slices for up to a week. An easy recipe: Vegetable Frittata.
*Self-explanatory....but once a day should be fine...... *
Kale
Long sidelined as a lowly garnish, this green belongs center stage on your plate. One raw chopped cup contains 34 calories and about 1.3 grams of fiber, as well as a hearty helping of iron and calcium. But kale's earthy flavor might take some getting used to. Spinach, another nutrient powerhouse, is a milder-tasting option.
Eat more Mix chopped raw kale into cooked black beans, says Jennifer Iserloh, founder of Skinny Chef Culinary Ventures, in New York City. Or slice kale into thin strips, sauté it with vegetable broth and top with orange slices. Make it a meal by tossing the mix with quinoa.
*looks like cabbage to me.....still nice ;) *
These chewy, tart berries have a hunger-curbing edge over other fruit: 18 amino acids, which make them a surprising source of protein, Krieger says. (They also have more beta-carotene than carrots.) Snack on them midafternoon to stay satisfied until dinner. The calorie cost? Only 35 per tablespoon.
Eat more Mix 1/4 cup of the dried berries (from health food stores) with 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup walnuts for a nourishing trail mix. Or for dessert, pour 1/4 cup boiling water into a bowl with 2 tbsp dried berries; let sit 10 minutes. Drain, then spoon over 1/2 cup lowfat vanilla frozen yogurt.
*ask your mom...sure she'll know.....it's that small bits of red seeds in herbal soups or chinese-style clear broth*
Buckwheat Pasta
Soba Noodles
Buckwheat pasta/Soba Noodles
Swap plain noodles for this hearty variety; you'll slip into your skinny jeans in no time. "Buckwheat is high in fiber and, unlike most carbs, contains protein," Zuckerbrot says. "Those two nutrients make it very satiating, so it's harder to overeat buckwheat pasta than the regular stuff."
Eat more Cook this pasta as you do rice: Simmer it, covered, over low heat. For a light meal, toss cooked buckwheat pasta with broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and onions. Or make buckwheat crepes using our tasty recipe.
*Both are derived from buckwheat which is totally different from the normal wheat that we are used to see or consuming. I love soba during summer times.....heck, everyday also summer here....all the more reason for me to enjoy...lolzzz*
Almond butter
Adding this spread may lower bread's glycemic index (a measure of a food's effect on blood sugar). A study from the University of Toronto found that people who ate almonds with white bread didn't experience the same blood sugar surges as those who ate only the slice. "The higher blood sugar levels rise, the lower they fall; that dip leads to hunger, causing people to overeat," says study author Cyril Kendall, Ph.D. "Furthermore, blood sugar changes cause the body to make insulin, which can increase abdominal fat."
Eat more Try it for a change from peanut butter in sandwiches, or make a veggie dip: Mix 1 tbsp almond butter with 2 tbsp fat-free plain yogurt, Iserloh suggests. Or add a dollop to oatmeal for flavor and protein.
*Think of it like your regular peanut butter but only more flavorful and richer in taste.*
Pomegranates
The juice gets all the hype for being healthy, but pomegranate seeds deserve their own spotlight. In addition to being loaded with folate and disease-fighting antioxidants, they're low in calories and high in fiber, so they satisfy your sweet tooth without blowing your diet, Krieger says.
Eat more Pop the raw seeds on their own (many grocery stores sell them preshucked) as a snack at your desk. "Use them in salads instead of nuts," Iserloh says. "They're especially delicious on raw baby spinach with lemon–poppy seed dressing." For another take on the seeds, use our easy recipe for sweet and spicy pomegranate salsa.
*Not really a big fan of this fruit*
Oats
"Oatmeal has the highest satiety ranking of any food," Grotto says. "Unlike many other carbohydrates, oats—even the instant kind—digest slowly, so they have little impact on your blood sugar." All oats are healthful, but the steel-cut and rolled varieties (which are minimally processed) have up to 5 grams of fiber per serving, making them the most filling choice. Instant oats contain 3 to 4 grams per serving.
Eat more "Instead of using breadcrumbs, add oats to meat loaf—about 1 cup for a recipe that serves eight," Iserloh recommends. Or try her recipe for turkey and oatmeal meatballs.
*Good for the heart.....love it with strawberries and milk.....eaten like cereal*
Lentils are a bona fide belly flattener. "They're high in protein and soluble fiber, two nutrients that stabilize blood sugar levels," says Tanya Zuckerbrot, R.D., author of The F-Factor Diet (Putnam Adult). "Eating them helps prevent insulin spikes that cause your body to create excess fat, especially in the abdominal area."
Eat more There are many varieties of lentils, but red and yellow cook fastest (in about 15 to 20 minutes). Add cooked lentils to pasta sauce for a heartier dish, Zuckerbrot suggests. "Their mild flavor blends right in, and because they're high in protein, you can skip meat altogether."
*i love it as a snack and also as dhal curry with roti canai in the mornings or lunchtime*
Not only do fish fats keep your heart healthy, but they shrink your waist, too. "Omega-3 fatty acids improve insulin sensitivity—which helps build muscle and decrease belly fat," Grotto explains. And the more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns. Opt for wild salmon; it may contain fewer pollutants.
Eat more You don't need to do much to enhance salmon's taste, says Sidra Forman, a chef and writer in Washington, D.C. "Simple is best. Season a fillet with salt and pepper, then cook it in a hot pan with 2 tsp oil for 1 to 3 minutes on each side."
*fried, stimmed, sahsimi, sushi, grilled......good!!!*
An apple a day can keep weight gain at bay, finds a study from Penn State University at University Park. People who chomped an apple before a pasta meal ate fewer calories overall than those who had a different snack. "Apples are high in fiber—4 to 5 grams each—which makes them filling," says Susan Kraus, R.D., a clinical dietitian at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. Plus, the antioxidants in apples may help prevent metabolic syndrome, a condition marked by excess belly fat or an "apple shape."
Eat more Apples are the ideal on-the-go low-calorie snack. For a pielike treat, chop up a medium apple and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp allspice and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Pop in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.
*An apple a day keeps the Doctor away*
Blueberries
All berries are good for you, but those with a blue hue are among the best of the bunch. They have the highest antioxidant level of all commonly consumed fruit, according to research from the USDA Agriculture Research Service in Little Rock, Arkansas. They also deliver 3.6 grams of fiber per cup. "Fiber may actually prevent some of the fat you eat from being absorbed because fiber pulls fat through the digestive tract," Zuckerbrot says.
Eat more Instead of topping your cereal with fruit, fill your bowl with blueberries, then sprinkle cereal on top and add milk or yogurt, Iserloh recommends.
*Blueberry cheesecake....not as good as strawberry cheesecake, but it'll do.....*
Chillies
One reason to spice up your meals: You'll crank up your metabolism. "A compound in chiles called capsaicin has a thermogenic effect, meaning it causes the body to burn extra calories for 20 minutes after you eat the chiles," Zuckerbrot explains. Plus, "you can't gulp down spicy food," she adds. "Eating slowly gives your brain time to register that your stomach is full, so you won't overeat."
Eat more Stuff chiles with cooked quinoa and marinara sauce, then roast them. To mellow a chile's heat, grill it until it's almost black, peel off charred skin and puree the flesh, Krieger says. Add the puree to pasta sauces for a one-alarm kick. Or stir red pepper flakes into any dish you enjoy.
*Hot and as spicy as you can make it....*
Yogurt
Dietitians often refer to plain yogurt as the perfect food, and for good reason: With its trifecta of carbs, protein and fat, it can stave off hunger by keeping blood sugar levels steady. In a study from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, people on a low-calorie diet that included yogurt lost 61 percent more fat overall and 81 percent more belly fat than those on a similar plan but without yogurt.
Eat more "Use lowfat plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise in chicken or potato salad, or top a baked potato with a bit of yogurt and a squeeze of lemon juice," Krieger says. You'll save 4.7 grams of fat per tablespoon. Look for Greek yogurt, which has more protein than other versions.*Seldom had yogurt but always in my cheesecake....dunno why...*
These tiny fish are the unsung stars of the sea. They are high in protein and loaded with omega-3s, which also help the body maintain muscle. And they're low in mercury and high in calcium, making them a smart fish pick for pregnant women. If the flavor doesn't appeal to you, "soak them in milk for an hour; it will remove any trace of fishiness," Iserloh says.
Eat more "Use sardines in recipes you like that call for anchovies, including Caesar salad and stuffing," Iserloh says. Or make a sardine melt: Toss whole sardines with chopped onions, fresh herbs and diced bell peppers. Put the mixture on top of a slice of pumpernickel or rye bread, cover with a slice of cheddar and broil.
*Only had sardine in a can......it's as good as the real stuff..i think.....*
wm-main10191407.jpg)
You can use this herb, a staple in French cooking, in place of salt in marinades and salad dressings. Excess sodium causes your body to retain water, so using less salt can keep bloating at bay. Plus, tarragon lends a sweet, licoricelike flavor to bland foods. (Use the French version of the herb when possible; it's sweeter than other varieties.)
Eat more Rub 2 tbsp dried tarragon on chicken before baking or grilling. Or make a tasty dip by mixing 1 tsp chopped fresh tarragon into 4 oz lowfat plain yogurt and 1 tsp Dijon mustard, recommends Jacquelyn Buchanan, director of culinary development at Laura Chenel's Chèvre, a fromagerie in Sonoma, California.
*Not a really big fan of this particular but goes well with chicken dishes*
Drop that rubbery lowfat cheese and pick up the real stuff. Women who had one serving of whole milk or cheese daily were less likely to gain weight over time, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds. Lowfat-dairy fans didn't experience the same benefit. Whole dairy may have more conjugated linoleic acid, which might help your body burn fat. "Parmesan is so flavorful, it's easy to stick to one serving," Buchanan says.
Eat more "Grate Parmesan over roasted vegetables," Buchanan offers. Or snack on a 1-ounce portion with an apple or a pear.
*Must have parmesan on everything!!!!!~pizza, spaghetti, roast chicken, etc!!!!! *
Avocado
Don't let the fat content of an avocado (29 grams) scare you—that's what makes it a top weight loss food, Kraus says. "The heart-healthy monounsaturated fat it contains increases satiety," she says. And it's terrific summer party food.
Eat more Add avocado to your sandwich instead of mayo for a creamy texture and a shot of flavor. Avocados do contain a lot of calories, so it's best to watch your portions. They're easy to pack in your lunch and pair with chopped vegetables.
*ME no likey......taste weird*
Olive oil
Like avocados, olive oil has healthy fat that increases satiety, taming your appetite. But that's hardly its only slimming feature. "Research shows it has anti-inflammatory properties," Kraus says. Chronic inflammation in the body is linked to metabolic syndrome.
Eat more Drizzle your salad with olive oil and you'll increase the antioxidant power of your veggies, a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition notes. Or toss pasta with a few teaspoons of olive oil, fresh basil and sautéed garlic, Kraus suggests. Add this oil to your summer menus for a flatter tummy by fall.
Eat....can eat lah, but in moderate amount. Don't over do it and then blame me later. Don't forget to exercise because all that energy you take must also be used in some other way, or else where does it all go?? * hint * hint......(think lovehandles, thighs, buns, etc)
Cheers!!!!

The Blue's are in town (again)
Chelsea's coming to Malaysia again......im not really excited about it coz im not really a Chelsea fan.....My favorite color is not blue, if you know what i mean......
Since i got nothing to blog and most of my friends are anti-ManUtd, i say, what the heck.....
This will be their 2nd or 3rd time(i don't remember) coming her......i remember the last time was they were fighting for the FA Premier League Asia Cup or something like that......That was about 5 years ago......they were 3 Premier league that time.......Chelsea, Birmingham and Newcastle.....
Who Won???? Chelsea.... i think.......
I still remember Malaysia played with Chelsea but was thrash 4-1.....not bad compared with a 7-0 trashing from Manchester United a year before that.......but have to give a little credit to Malaysia as that solitary goal was from a set-piece......Chelsea was quite good at countering set-pieces at that time.....
This year, Chelsea's visit to Malaysia was not as welcoming as their previous visits as there were a few controversial issue as Malaysia does not have a diplomatic relationship with Israel....
What is it gotta do with Chelsea???
Chelsea that time are allowed in but not Avram Grant and Tal Ben Haim.....After a few discussions, few strings pulled, they were granted permission......Not that it's still relevant as Avram Grant is gone and i don't think Ben Haim is coming.....
Anyway, to all Chelsea supporters, tickets are available now and if you guys want more info, just visit http://www.ticketpro.com.my/en/akce/detail/51/

Away for a month......
It's been a very loooonnnnnggggg month since i've blog as i don't now what to blog.....There's so much stuff happening and don't what to prioritize.....there's the Anwar's "superpoke", TorresSpain winning the Euro 2008, oil prices touching
USD$ 142.00, Puchong DAP's MP got the marching order because if the Anwar's case, Najib's allegation to the Altantuya's death, some guy name Saiful and so guy name, P. Balasubramaniam (it's funny the Altantuya's case just got heated up then the past year), people celebrating birthdays, (sadly i was not in any....:( ), Blogger's catfight......
WHAT!!!! A CATFIGHT???? WHERE????
YA! it's a feud between Dawn Yang and XiaXue......WOW!! two of the hottest people battling it out on cyberspace!!! A lot of people will pay good money to watch it!!!! Unfortunately, it's just war of words and some ass-licking manager with-his-lawyers fight......More like a handicap match to me....
Too Bad, i thought it'll be like a WWE match-up for the woman's championship title......that would be awesome!!!!
How the catfight started.....
It all started when XiaXue posted a so-called defamatory post saying stuff about Dawn Yang and Dawn didn't like it and using her manager to threaten XiaXue with a lawsuit......It was just a 2- day battle of words(for now....) both having bad points of each other, etc.....
I quite a big fan of XiaXue since i've been following her blog for quite a while....make that since i started blogging through Kenny Sia.... All her emo post, rant post, camwhoring post, more rant post, some hilarious post......it's fun read to read about other people's life coz it's like my daily fix that keeps me alive....apart from food.....

Government to respond to issues raised in new media, says Najib
By SHAHANAAZ HABIB
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will respond to issues raised in the new media and post replies to the wild and baseless allegations made on blogs and websites, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
“We have decided that being quiet and silent is not an option,” the Deputy Prime Minister said during a question and answer session at the Asia Media Summit 2008.
He acknowledged that the Government had overlooked the impact of engaging the new media during the recent general election which was a new dimension in winning over public opinion.
Admitting that the government-of-the-day had not been savvy in engaging new media so much so that it lost out in cyberspace.
“But we live and learn,” he said.
Najib said it was obvious that the Barisan Nasional government would now need to engage the new media.
“We need to have people who are active participants of the new media, who are sympathetic and understanding of the Government’s position.
“Therefore instead of just criticising them (new media) or running them down, the best thing to do is to engage them. Hopefully they will understand our perspective,” he said.
He added these were the two things that the Government had to do immediately in dealing with the realities of the new media.
To another question, Najib said the Government gave the mainstream and new media a great deal of latitude to criticise them “but there is a line which shouldn’t be crossed” because it could undermine the wider interest of society.
He said the media in trying to clamour for wider readership at times exploited or exaggerated certain issues to get higher readership but the cost was injurious and detrimental to social unity.
Answering a question on action taken against blogger Raja Petra, Najib said he (Raja Petra) was charged with breaking the laws of the country and inciting baseless allegations and making seditious remarks.
He said Raja Petra had been free to criticise the Government “very robustly and stridently” in his blog for years and the Government had never taken any action against him.
“But when certain things he said constitute a very serious attack against the institution, the Attorney-General decided that he crossed the line.
“We are not apologetic and we don’t intend to apologise. That is the way things are in Malaysia. We do allow a lot of criticism much more than many countries but there is a line that you can’t cross,” he added.
He said Raja Petra was not jailed for the charge but spent a day or two in jail because he refused to pay the bail.
“Then he realised it was better to be outside jail so he took the bail,” he said, adding even this was paid for through donations raised for him through the Internet.
Other than the new media, Najib said since the general election the established media too had become more and more critical.
“If you read the newspapers on a daily basis, you will see that they don’t hold their punches even criticising the Government. If they know there are weaknesses or abuse of power anywhere, they will latch on to it and criticise the Government and individuals openly,” he added.
