I dont know what happened to Malaysia, blocking bloggers to spread information for the sake of “so-called” democracy.

In Indonesia, we even have our Defense Minister managing his own blog (personal blog), see at http://www.juwonosudarsono.com/

Indonesia is fortunate to have a Minister of Information & Technology who practice excellent media relations via engagement instead confrontational approach.

Hi Rocky,

Thank you for your kind words. Yesterday was a start, hopefully towards a positive direction where Indonesian bloggers can contribute more in efforts to solve Indonesia's many problems. Thank you!

Indonesian blogger reached this step because the government has no choice ;-).

The government must agree with us to develop our blogosphere in Indonesia or they're too late to knew the advantages of the blogger community.

Another reason, we have a minister of Information & Technology who came from academic background.

tell this to the loud mouth who continue to malign bloggers. this moron's major contribution to the country was to issue thousands of taxi permits to one favoured group. since then, he has done nothing of significance except to make an ass of himself.

How can we expect anything when we have a leader who relies too much on input from the 4th Floor?

And even when he doesnt and shoots off on an impromptu basis, he has the whole popular print media to 'spin' and cover any mistakes he has made?

Since NA is not concerned with minority views, lets see what the urban voters do during the elections.The rural voters will no doubt vote BN in anyway..NA knows this, no doubt.

Prez (if i may address you such)

i think your ideas and sentiments have been 'plagiarised' by our 'friendly' neighbour lock stock and barrel.

You were way ahead of the pack when you first mooted All Blogs and its mission but circumstance has impeded your way forward. *sigh*

We shall press on. i credit you for original thought. Indonesia's move is a celebration of your original vision. All said, you still have it, bro. Stay the course will ya?

Bru,

How do we expect government to learn from Indonesia and engage bloggers for the bigger good when a minister like Nazri Aziz, supposedly educated and bright, does not even read the blogs?

Please read the interview by Aniza in the NST.

Q: Do you read blogs?

A: I don’t. I don’t waste my time. The few pieces that people print for me are just rubbish.

I’d rather spend my time to do things that are constructive; that go down directly to the people who are really in need of the help of the government.

Our bloggers are really not up to standard. When they put up something, it’s not something that they want to discuss in a very intellectual way.

It’s more because of their anger - the language they use. Why should I read all this rubbish?

When the standard of our bloggers is upgraded, then probably I will look at what is written.

But anyway, they are a minority. My concern is for the majority.

Rocky,
We are so proud to tell people that we are a progressive nation but our every actions indicate otherwise. Very soon we will be tailing others even among Aseans. Thats the best the current leaders can do.

Rocky, we should not wait for the government to do that. Blogger should organize this event. And it should be apolitical. Have a nice day.

2007-10-28T11:04:00.000+08:00

Rocky!

Not in this country, already Nazri the Fascist said the country does not take minority view, and their views are squat! He said bloggers are insignificant, so this government has and will never learn the art of engaging.

Overheard!A quote!

KH:"Pak Lah, we must allow Airasia to fly to Singapore and we will figure out something in return for S'pore, MAS is not proactive lah! And that man is more invloved with his church and people are talking about it, and another one always spent his time at the Lake Club bar getting drunk and bad mouthing you!"

Pak Lah:" Betoi ke ni! They do that?! We have to remove them for sure! Okay I will allow two flights for now and I will give the instruction!"

KH to TF later: "Easy peachy, the guy is a moron, I do believe we can do what ever we want, yipee!"

The key word is "engagement" and that's what the Indonesian government appears to be forging with the bloggers.

Conversely, the Malaysian government seems to treat the bloggers in a confrontational manner. Hence, the absence of any form of engagement.

Conratulations to the government of Indonesia and the Indonesian bloggers.

National Bloggers Day in Malaysia? That will be the day! But it will happen when the government has nothing to hide from its citizens. Until they wipe clean the tainted slate; until they exorcise some of the possessed mp (note no caps); until then we will not be recognised.BUT WE SHALL OVERCOME.
