'The Truth Hurts' best describes information Minister, Shabery Cheek's veiled threat to bloggers that they are 'not untouchable' (the SUN/pg8/16thApril/08). The 'cheek' of him (pun intented).
Instead of wasting taxpayer's money by dragging these so-called 'miscreants' to court, wouldn't it be wiser of the honourable Minister to suggest a government-backed blog-panel to refute the alleged half-truths and lies that supposedly litter the blogsphere? Wiser still would be for him to take the blog-articles in stride with 'a pinch of salt' and use it to cure the various ills that plague the administration he subscribes to. If the BN is seeking answers to its pathetic performance in the recently-concluded elections, they should look no further than the local blogsites.
Instead of wasting time with fad-technologies such as cyber-forensics to nab bloggers, which also involve the taxpayer's money, the good Minister would be better off improving the broadcasting-quality of RTM's radio and TV stations which are currently, best described as 'graveyard channels'
