Attempts to control the media, to curb freedom of expression, are undemocratic and politically risky.
Attempts to control the media, to curb freedom of expression, are undemocratic and politically risky. The structure of media control as it exists now is responsible for entrenching authoritarian attitudes and stifling ethical standards in newsroom.
complete denial is justified by the bn mps due to the uniqueness of malaysianthe infringement on human rights in malaysia
| Rais: Wrong to say ISA not up to standard of humanity SHOULD SPENT MORETIME CHECKING THE PROVIDER SERVICES THEN POLITICS ANY WHERE HAVE NOT WON ANY POSITION IN UMNO’S HISTORY |
| I write in response to the letter ‘Celcom Broadband: Pathetic and Horrible’ by Mohd Nazim Ganti Shaari. I sympathise with the writer’s predicament, one that is experienced not just by Celcom customers, but by all internet users. There internet service in Malaysia is pathetic. The service providers have little or no respect for customer rights, and the quality of service embarrassing to say the least. Streamyx is the biggest joke, run by a company so arrogant because of its monopoly and sheer size. The alternatives are no better. Jaring is so small-time that it isn’t worth mentioning (their broadband is also lousy), Maxis and Celcom are horrible, Time has no availability….the list goes on and on. You can’t trust customer service or technical support, especially for IT stuff. You must do your own research before contacting the company for help, otherwise you will be taken for a ride. From Nazim’s letter, it sounds like it could be a problem with his modem. This is because he says he had the same problem in Shah Alam and now it’s still happening in KK. He said that the block next to his has great reception. Did he try the connection there? If it is still poor, I would suggest he demand Celcom replace his modem. Also, I suggest he take his laptop to a park and try the internet there. 3G internet is meant to be mobile after all Another thing I can suggest is to get a Xpax prepaid sim card or U mobile sim, or borrow from it a friend. Put it into your handphone, and see the reception quality. I can suggest several tips to improve reception. If you are certain the modem is not at fault (or if you have replaced it already) get a long USB cable, place your modem in a high place, outdoors if possible, and try to have it facing the celcom tower. It’s possible your building is obstructing the signal. 3G internet requires a very good reception. Good luck. |

t yes I do remember that I wrote Thursday a piece about the government’s “plan” to filter internet content. But since this “filter” issue is still filtering in, so to speak, I think I’ll have another go at it.
Filter in Bahasa Melayu ( or should it be Bahasa Malaysia ? or Bahasa Kebangsaan ? I’m confuse, forgive me). Anyway I’ll start again. Filter is translated in Malay as “tapis”. Hence the Censorship Board, whose job among other things is to cut off “dirty scenes and dialogues,” is, in Malay, “ Lembaga Penapis ( the key word being “tapis”) .
So when minister Rais Yatim used the word ‘filter’, it’s not much of a surprise that most of us see this equation: filter = censor. Prime Minister Najib Razak has denied that the government want to censor the internet, a denial made on the very same day Rais was confirming earlier report quoting sources that the government was looking into the filtering of net content.
But only porno stuff. That’s what he said. Despite that, and Najib’s assurance, the “filter” issue has not gone away. Many feel the filter will come in one way or another and from porno sites the filter will ‘enroach’ into other things. Namely “independent” news portal and socio-political blogs. Mere speculation ? Unfair conclusion? Usual prophets of doom stuff? I don’t know. I do know public concern is real.
But then, usage of the internet in Malaysia is not “really great”. Don’t get me wrong. More and more people are surfing the net now. Most of us are connected. Or that’s what we tell ourselves and our friends. There are WiFi in many places. Even our favourite hangout for the tarik and roti canai. Malaysians young and old with laptops is a common sight. Then there’s the sophisticated mobile phones and black berry and what not. We know of websites, blogs, face book, twitter, you name it we’ve know it.
However, accessing the internet is not as fast as we would want it to be. Heavy traffic we are often told. In fact our broadband is slower than the narrow band in Japan for instance. This despite the trumpeting of our first world facilities.
I’m sure we have lost count of the number of times when we got connected but cannot “masuk.” Reason ? Cannot find server lah, glitch, heavy traffic ( again ?) and all kinds of “hi tech excuses”.
I know all this things happens and we can’t expect a 100 percent perfect system. There are bound to be , glitches. Yes. But our beloved country has always been proud to say we are “up there’. We’ve got MSC, Cyberjaya and all that.
So how come we can’t improve things? And how come other countries do not experience frustrating moments we are facing in front of the computers? And I’m not talking about the US, UK. I’m just looking at our Southeast Asian friends. Not Singapore lah. The island republic is way ahead. I’ll stop praising them before I’m accused of being a Singapore lover and thus a traitor.
Still, ever the loyal Malaysian, I have the confidence that the good people entrusted to shoulder this cyber thing will fix it. Hopefully ASAP.
Last point, I’ll state the obvious. Sorry.When you can’t ‘masuk’ , then you can’t surf, cannot navigate. Or you can access but get to the sites of your choice. Or it will take ages. You get so frustrated you just switch off your computers and walk away. Hey, come to think of it, this can be an effective way of “censoring ”the net. Accusing fingers can’t be pointed at anybody. Blame it on technology. With that in place, who need filters?
who did it and why that partical site”What had occurred on the day in question was a technical disruption which resulted in the websites concerned to be inaccessible to the public,” the ministry said.
