Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin aka Zam seems to think otherwise. According to him the Malaysian citizens only believe in the mainstream media, our one-sided news shows and newspapers and alternative media like the internet, blogs, mobile phones and other new age communication media had nothing to do with the shocking outcome witnesed during our recent election.
What do you think, did the Internet & Blogs Influence The Election Results? Vote here.
Watch his idiotic video.
Malaysiakini is extending it’s free service till this Friday 14th March. However after that it will be switching back to it’s subscribers-only model. Malaykini.tv their video site will also be transitioning to a subscriber-only model due to the high cost of bandwidth. Lower resolution videos will however still be uploaded into YouTube as they have always been.
Much needed upgrades are also being put in place. Malaysiakini will be seeing 3 new high-end servers and have it’s bandwidth upgraded to 150mbps. Users will surely realize an improvement in performance moving forward.
Malaysiakini and many other local news sites experienced a tremendous spike in users/subscribers this past week thanks to the Malaysia 12th general elections. I myself experienced 12k page views within a few hours.
This just comes to show the awareness levels of Malaysians, almost everyone I know is internet savvy now, even my dad 63 years old now spends 6 hours a day on the net researching. Many politicians (Non net savvy I guess) consider the Net (alternative media) a bad thing and claim that almost everything if not all is not true. But one must ask, why aren’t they coming out with their own sites/blogs to counter the negative media. An open debate I would call it(the democratic way). Watch a video.
I still buy newspapers today but since I feel that the local papers and news channels are generally pro government, I need to hear both sides of a story. Where do I go? The online world/community is the answer to satisfy my “need to know” hunger. However one must not easily believe everything one reads online or from the papers. Always cross reference before coming to a conclusion. Find the truth and not blindly follow.
Malaysians are smart people, don’t keep challenging them. serve the people and your country not just your party.

Happy 1st birthday Nuffnang.
The name Nuffnang is no more a stranger amongst bloggers across Asia. From a humble beginng Nuffnang has grown considerably in past year. Almost every blogger I know is on Nuffnang now or has heard about it. The recent TV coverage really helped.
Today, Nuffnang is a year old and to show it’s appreciation Nuffnang has put together the “Nuffnang Pajama Party” which is scheduled for the 15th March 2008. Initialiy it was scheduled for the 8th but that date later conflicted with our general elections thus the move.
Read about the Pajama Party.
