ROCKY'S BRU
"At a time when David Cameron is seeking a ban on the social media for allegedly creating unrest and Khalid Ibrahim
is executing a gag order on the Press over the church raid issue,
Najib's vow of no more "Economist"-like censorship on the international
media juts out as a progressive voice in support of media freedom. Hishammuddin and Rais Yatim, please take note. And Guan Eng, Khalid, Anwar Ibrahim and MB Azizan
- don't just claim to be champions of freedom of expression and the
media, walk the talk please and stop using it as a tool to win votes if,
once in power, you are going to ban the MSM from your sight as soon as
you don't like what is being reported.
"At the same time, I hope
the PM's openness is not abused by the foreign media, some of which
have been known to be unfairly critical of Malaysia due to vested
interest.
"Also, hope it does not lead to too many legal suits as these can be construed as a means to censor the media."
