Develop new policies to control and discipline, not going after who or what

-
Multimedia and communications minister Gobind Singh Deo had recently said that authorities will be going after news portals for maintaining public commentaries which are deemed to be insulting, inciting hate on others as well as those which are considered harming.

Going after news portals may not be fair in the sense that these websites are open to public for reading and providing commentaries over news or articles of interests. Some may even suggest that the authorities should instead go after those commentators for the said statements or words penned on the news or articles. Is going after these kind of people adding value?

There are millions of viewers and commentators out there. Is the authorities planning to go after them one by one, arrest them all, charge them in court and imprison them? There will be no end to such incidents. Practically, our nation's prison will be packed with these kind of people if the government were to serious in enforcing some of those multimedia rules.

Come up with policies to get the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to control and discipline the wave in the worldwide web is much more effective instead of going after individuals over the incitement of hate, threats, extremism or insults. This can be done with the assistance of web developers and the adoption of the most advance technologies.

Furthermore, the new government should also understand that for decades under the previous ruling BN-UMNO, people, especially from the rural areas and villages has been deeply implanted and educated on racism, racial and religious superiority and the greatness over other beings in this country. Such negative elements has been in place from educational point till people grew up to be adults. Because of the system laid down by the previous regime, people tend to be easily emotional on certain issues, feeling hurt for nothing, being suspicious over others all the time.

As such, the entire education system that demonstrates racial and religious elements, that are implanting our generations for decades with negative thoughts on racism, racial and religious superiority and the greatness over other beings should be done away with and replaced with a new learning system that fully embrace harmony and the middle path in our daily lives.

This new government is not even a year to-date. There's still a long way to go in the process of reforming the entire nation, to turn it into a New Malaysia. 61 years of BN rule, corruption, racism, religious extremism cannot be over ran in just couple of weeks or months. Things may turn into chaos.

Therefore, the government should be given more room to revamp the nation. It is not even their first term in governance. The civil service must be revamped first, the public policy should be changed, the parliamentary system should be reformed, the important institutions, such as the judiciary system, the police force and other organs should be reform first in order to ensure a proper turnaround of the entire nation's system, our people's thinking, habits and practices.

To change, reform and to improve takes a longer time to ripe, to damage it, destroy them, it just takes seconds to press the button.

What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?

We guess, many of you would be wondering why are we asking such question, “What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?” Obviously, none of us would ever realize the real and terrible impact that MCA has made onto the Malaysian Chinese and if they were to see this, the definite question too would be, “done what?”, “don’t know”, “not aware”, “none of our business”, or even, “we don't want to know at all”. The inception of MCA in 1949 can be traced back from the origins of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) and its chapter in the then Malaya, which was famously known as Kuomintang Malaya (KMT Malaya). In aftermath of the Second World War and the defeat of the KMT forces in China in 1949, the KMT Malaya has began to move towards transforming its Malayan chapter into a local Chinese based organization in order to preserve its existence and long term political opportunity in this county. And this is how MCA was born in February 1949, where the party later teamed up...

Daripada keadaan politik dalam negara ini, kita telahpun dan sedang memerhati beberapa buah gabungan parti-parti politik yang terkini, iaitu Barisan Nasional (BN) yang kekal begitu lama dengan parti komponen utama Umno memonopoli semua aspek keputusan di dalam gabungan dan kerajaan yang diterajui oleh mereka. Di pihak Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pula ianya merupakan sebuah gabungan parti-parti pembangkang utama, PKR, DAP dan PAS yang bekerjasama secara longgar dan masing-masing mempunyai kedudukan yang setaraf di antara satu sama lain. Di tengah-tengah kancah cabar mencabar di antara BN dan PR, terdapat satu lagi alternatif yang kini sedang menonjol, Gabungan Kiri Malaysia (GKM) yang merangkumi gabungan parti politik bercampur dengan pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang kini dianggotai oleh Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), sebagai peneraju utama GKM, diikuti dengan Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM), Pusat Sejarah Rakyat dan Collective Intelligence serta beberapa individu yang te...

We all knew that during the Second World War (WW2) in the Asian continent, the Imperial Japan had aggressively used its military force to conquer many parts of Asia, particularly Korea, Manchuria, some parts of Eastern Russia and largely China. Japan's aggression was later expanded to many parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific theatre. During these aggression, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were well-known for its atrocities against civilians. The most famous one was marked in the Nanking Massacre in 1937, when the Chinese Nationalist government's capital fell into the hands of the Imperial Japan. Millions of Chinese civilians, men and women, children, senior citizens, sick people, babies were systematically murdered, women and children were captured, raped and then slaughtered, many cities, counties and homes were torched which caused total destruction of much of China's population. Asides, the Japanese military aggression and atrocities had also expanded t...
