Most of you wouldn't even deign to sniff pertly at the New Straits Times. I say good on ya!
Since the mainstream media became slaves of the ruling coalition, we have lost any semblance of decent journalism. Instead we are subject to the diatribe of spin doctors, some of whom are not particularly even talented.
This piece by Azmi Anshar is one such example:
Cyber anarchist with a belligerent agenda
Unsurprisingly, it attempts to vilify RPK and condescends to belittle his readers. I will not hold it against you if you ignore the article entirely.
But it makes me wonder why an entire article was devoted to trying to discredit a blogger in the beginning of the year when there could have been words of motivation for the nation?
What made the blogger in question so popular anyway?
Could it have been that what he said made sense in the first place?
But UMNO will never look itself in the mirror, preferring instead to sweep under the carpet all its shortcomings.

Excellent critique of a piece which I shall not read :-). Perhaps that is why some quarters love to deal with the carpet man ;-)
Take care and God bless you, Cranskter.

Dear Ms Cranky
They want to extradite him from Britain? A country where there is a highly developed sense of fair play and where there is respect for the rule of law??
It sounds more like propaganda to intimidate other Malaysian bloggers.

Masterwordsmith - LMAO!! Yes, no wonder the carpet man is in such demand!! Good one. :) God bless you.
Phua Kai Lit - you've hit the nail on the head. They certainly want to intimidate us. They know RPK is too smart for them, anyway.
