NO to any forms of Extremism





We should say NO to any forms of extremism in Malaysia regardless of what it is, be it politics, religion, education or economic reforms.
After watching a blog where the Minister of Information Rais Yatim was dubbed "The Chickenshit Minister of Misinformation", I felt disgusted at the way Malaysian bloggers are running down those in the government. Ministers do make mistakes and as human beings, some are apparently "sombong" (meaning "proud" in English) and display the air of arrogance to the media. Rais Yatim somehow showed his true colours to the press when questioned in English, he chided the news reporter for not using BM. As a blogger myself, I think Malaysian bloggers have already the freedom of expression in the internet which is fundamentally a place where views are exchanged and communicated.
If at all we are unhappy and displeased with those in the government or the government itself, by all means vote them out in the next general election. But to propagate the politics of hate on internet in our beautiful Malaysia is like smashing rotten eggs in our own backyard. And rotten eggs are smelly and pungent! Our words of hatred, unedited, could tantamount to treason.
