Of elephants, infants and sycophants

From Malaysian Chronicle:

Excerpt from Uppercaise: Net watchdog or party poodle?


A pirated Malaysiakini site which had seemingly gone down at the weekend was back up again this morning, but its content had not been updated since Wednesday. A check at the weekend found only a login screen showing.

Malaysiakini officials have previously said they had complained to the site owners and hosting provider about the infringements of Malaysiakini’s rights.

Clearly this is an instance where the Multimedia Commission, as Internet regulator, should take quick action to defend the legitimate interests of Malaysian site operators, as well as help to defend press freedom.

Yet the commisison seems more eager to take political action against press freedom, by pandering to their political masters and the baying hounds of Umno’s right wing...
