Umno Youth Wants Regulatory Control Of Bloggers

The Politics Of Fear

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 (Bernama) -- Umno Youth Chief Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said today the time has come for regulatory control of bloggers who resort to unethical means to belittle the country's leaders and mock national symbols and instruments.

He said the movement would not tolerate anyone, particularly bloggers, who threaten national stability, harmony and traditional values of the country.


Is it not Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein who waved a 'Keris' at the UMNO General Assembly last year and threaten to bathe it in Chinese blood to the ominous cheers of the audience? Isn't this a threat to national stability and harmony? Isn't UMNO Youth Chief an hypocrite?

"Umno Youth warns that freedom has its limits and we will not tolerate those who touch on the issues of national stability, harmony, cultural values and the personality of national leaders," he said when opening the Subang Umno divisional delegates conference here.

Hishammuddin related how irresponsible bloggers had victimised him and his family by spreading slander and even published the picture of an indecently attired young woman whom they claimed to be his daughter.

On Malaysian mass communications student Wee Meng Chee, 24, in Taiwan who rapped to the Negaraku in a video clip, Hishammuddin, who is Education Minister, said the student had discarded the cultures and values of Malaysian society.-- BERNAMA
