Critical Thoughts

I have actually known about the arrest as soon as the word went out, but I was too busy to do anything about it. For the life of me, I cannot think of any comprehensible reason why would anyone arrest Pak Bakaq, but I saw this reason provided by Nat. Not sure it is true or not but if it is….it has to be the silliest reason conceivable to warrant an arrest of a blogger.

Personally, I think there is a much more sinister reason behind it and as Pak Bakaq is well-known for maintaining his specialised blog-tal, this could well be an intimidation attempt by those concerned to silence socio-political bloggers. I hope someone can inform me of the latest news about Pak Bakaq as the fiancee will be in town and I wouldn’t have time to keep up with the news.

Why do I suddenly feel like a celebrity all of a sudden?

Kementerian Penerangan akan mewujudkan satu segmen khas berita setiap Ahad bagi membolehkan penulis blog atau ‘bloggers’ memberikan pendapat mengenai pelbagai isu secara langsung menerusi televisyen.

Menterinya, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, berkata program itu selama 20 minit itu akan bermula 20 April ini akan disiarkan di RTM 1 sebagai salah satu segmen dalam Warta Perdana.

Beliau berkata, keputusan berkenaan bukan saja memberi ruang kepada golongan itu meluahkan pandangan masing-masing, bahkan turut membuktikan keterbukaan kerajaan dalam berurusan dengan media alternatif.

All I can say is…wow, more popular than payday advance it seems. They sure are taking bloggers and blogging seriously now, that is for sure. I am not sure whether I want to appear live on national TV, though: I blog for a reason and not to seek fame or popularity.

Its hilarious…beyond words!

There are another three video clips in the series which you can see at Youth For Change.

It seems like the liberal blogger is making a fool out of himself again. Claiming that I have reached “new lows of stupidity”, this person is obviously jealous that I have been making a killing from blogging off the internet, while he makes…well, none. This is not the first time this person lies. I would like to recap on what happened sometime last year when he made the ridiculous suggestion that I was posting porno links to PPS.

Nothing heard from him since this video was made, eh? Berani kerana benar, takut kerana salah. That is my credo.
