You are being watched 你被监督着

I am one of the millions "lucky" Malaysians to receive Chinese New Year greetings SMS from Prime Minister Najib @ 1Malaysia.com.my. The SMS was sent out through the handphone service providers.

And 1.5 millions more received greetings email from Prime Minister through their personal email addresses. News media reported that many recipients were simply delighted by such personal message. The email was sent out through various database sources.

This initiative highlighted the importance of internet communication in reaching out to people.

Mean while, the government is proposing revision of Printing Press and Publications Act to shackle online media and publication, including blogs , Facebook and Twitter as it has done to the printed media.

The proposal received strong protest from NGOs and netizens. (See Facebook protest group)

The ability to access easily your email and handphone, please be warned, means that The Big Brother is watching you !!! It is not that delightful after all.


我是百万人之中的其中一位“幸运儿”，收到首先纳吉【一个马来西亚】传送过来的贺年短讯。这则短讯是透过电讯公司发出的。

同个时候，有大约一百五十万的马来西亚人，在个人的电邮箱里，也收到了纳吉的贺年电邮。报导说，很多人觉得非常的喜悦，收到了首先的问候及祝贺。这些电邮是透过多个资料库送出的。

这个举动，反映了网际网络在传达讯息上，是非常重要的管道。

与此同时，政府正提议修改『印刷及出版法令』，以便更严密的管制网上媒体，包括部落格，面子书及推特。

这些建议，受到许多非政府组织及网民的极力反对。（请登录面子书抗议网友 ）。

从政府轻易的进入人民的个人资料（私人手机号码及电邮），清楚的告诉大家，“大哥正在监察着你”！

收到这些短讯或电邮，并不是一件值得喜悦的事。
