Freedom For Bloggers!

To bloggers all around, stand up for your rights as a blogger!~

The government ain't going to be monitoring or censoring our blogs!

"The government won't censor Malaysian bloggers on the Internet but they must be responsible for what they write, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Tuesday.

"We do not censor the Internet and that's our policy, but they (bloggers) must understand that there are also laws on defamation and sedition, for example...."


For more details, CLICK HERE.

"News of Malaysia's first defamation law suit against two bloggers has led many in the online community and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to rally together to protest against the legal action.

They are displaying web banners on their blogs, initiated an online movement named Bloggers United and are setting up a fund in the name of blogger solidarity and freedom of expression to defend their rights in the court of law...."

I guess in whatever we do, whatever we write or testify, we should take full responsiblity of it, and be prepared to eat our own words when the time calls for it.

I think blogs will be around for a very, very long time.


Love & Peace!~

OMG REALLY??

Hallelujah, there is a God!!!

Haha. Kidding.

Having given the freedom to blog doesn't mean that we can simply write whatever we want.

Besides, we as Christians should write stuff that are edifying and encouraging, to build one another up (complaints about UTAR's NOT counted!).

So the next time someone plans to bitch about a friend/ person with the knowledge that it will hurt/ discourage that person, think twice. =)

HAHAHA!~

Your comments carry weight, Joanne! Sometimes, we need to write about stuff that depict about sliver linings on every cloud.

Yup, and be very, very careful the next time you write about something.
