Will BN lose its job?...

for its success in launching the internet?

Well, Raja Petra lost his job when his Free Anwar Campaign succeeded!

Marina and I quickly walked to the side of the Palace of Justice where it was quieter and I spoke to the chap from the BBC.
“We heard Anwar has just been released. Can we get your statement?”
“ Sure, but why me?” I asked.
“Well, you are the Director of the Free Anwar Campaign and you run the freeanwar dot com website. I suppose you are now out of a job since Anwar has just been released. What do you plan to do now?”
“I suppose you could put it that way,” I laughed. “I must be the only Director who got retrenched from his job because he is successful.”

In his latest post while being a fugitive (reminds me of Dr. Kimble, acted by David Janssen), he has given a brief history of his campaigns, which might be useful as free information for our Ministry of Information, a misnomer for one which covers up and spins instead... like the recent forum by the Bar Council (or National Press Club's series of National Discourse "The Perak Crisis" as mentioned in Rocky Bru's? I'm confused) with top lawyers, Tommy Thomas and Shafee Abdullah, and economist, Subramaniam Pillay from Aliran, which was not mentioned in the newspapers, let alone expecting it to be televised for more people to know.

Malaysia-Today - In Perak crisis, frustration describes public sentiment (excerpts):
Sunday, 26 April 2009 02:43
“I've absolutely lost hope in our current judiciary. This is the perception of not just me but many Malaysians. We’ve lost faith in the courts. That’s bad because it has severe consequences to the economy.”
(original article by Debra Chong, The Malaysian Insider)

Tommy Thomas and Datuk Shafee Abdullah, two of Malaysia’s most prominent lawyers, turned a Bar Council forum on the Perak constitutional crisis into a courtroom today, debating fine legal points.

But it was Subramaniam Pillay, an unknown economist with social pressure group Aliran, who probably articulated public frustration over the power grab by Barisan Nasional (BN) which has plunged Perak into chaotic battle for control with Pakatan Rakyat (PR) that is being played out in various courts.

“I've absolutely lost hope in our current judiciary,” said the Teluk Intan native.

Malaysia Today - Sun Tzu and the art of war (excerpts):

In 1998, when we first started using the Internet to fight Barisan Nasional, there were only 280,000 Internet subscribers against 8 million registered voters. Today, ten years on, there are almost 16 million Internet subscribers against 12 million registered voters.

The Internet has been abuzz the last couple of days about the ‘accidental’ police report an NGO made against Malaysiakini. Those who had made the police report did not know the difference between Malaysiakini, The Malaysian Insider and Malaysia Today.The following day, they ‘corrected’ the mistake and two more ‘Malay’ NGOs made a police report against Malaysia Today. While I am honoured that the news reports talk about Malaysiakini, The Malaysian Insider and Malaysia Today in the same breath, I have to correct this misperception and declare that Malaysia Today should not be compared to Malaysiakini or The Malaysian Insider.

Malaysiakini and The Malaysian Insider are proper or legitimate online newspapers or portals run by professional media personnel, most who have many years experience in the media industry. Malaysia Today, however, is not in that same league. We are not a proper or legitimate online newspaper. Neither are we run by professional media personnel. Malaysia Today is a ‘weapon’ that is meant to bring about political change in Malaysia.
