• Barisan Nasional will filter Malaysia Internet!

Barisan Nasional is seriously considering FILTERING our INTERNET content! China-style!

Despite telling myself this has to happen sooner or later, I still felt the shivers when I read the article in MalaysiaKini about tenders Barisan Nasional intention.

I have an insatiable appetite and curiosity for what is truly happening in Malaysia and starts my day surfing Malaysiakini, MalaysianInsider, Malaysia Today and various prominent opposition bloggers to get my dose of reality.

Although I have two top newspapers delivered to my house every single morning, The Star and NST, I have stopped taking their take on reporting local news seriously. I glance through local news articles headlines only with no interest in reading the article.

If Barisan Nasional gets their way, I will have my only source of news and information taken away.

Similarly, it has triggered some very concerned feedback across our pro-opposition blogosphere:

Horror of horrors – BN government wants to put up Internet filter blocking “undesirable websites” in total violation of the MSC guarantee of no internet censorship!

Malaysia goes ‘Great Firewall of China”?

China’s Internet Filter: Green Dam Censorware for Malaysia too?

Malaysian government promises no Internet censorship
