Note: These are all reported in written form on various media platform, whatever I am portraying in this post is just the mere truth.

Right then, let’s get down to business, that’s what he said I suppose. Speaking words of standard and orthodox, but only catching himself left behind time. A time-warp it seems.

The Malaysia Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said today, “Reader Will Move Away From Traditional Media”. Indeed, I do ponder… His reasons?

Readers will most likely shift to the Internet for news if the traditional media continues with its old style of presenting news based on what the editors feel that people should read, or using the media as a propaganda tool.” said the Minister.

I will have to agree with him as he also planted his feet down on saying that Malaysians especially Muslims should not immerse themselves in the internet culture, as he pin points at Facebook and Twitter.

He added that facilities like internet could not be accepted wholly because it was a form of business introduced by the West and “Malaysians were just users.”

“They are just selling Facebook, Twitter, L-Band and various other services, even through space, as a product but we do not do such business. We accept all this in a state of cultural shock,” he said.

Oh yes Sir.

But hey Mr of Information Communication and Culture, do get your head straight. It’s the year 2010, has the word Globalization hit your sane mind yet? Do listen here, your commander in chief uses Facebook and Twitter to reach out to us that is the so called “Cultural Shocked” citizens.

In fact, what is your proposal for us cultural shockers to improve and to move forward in this so called Advanced country? Bird mail perhaps? Indeed 1Malaysia. Is that what 1Malaysia is all about, if it’s so, sorry I am out.
