Getting heard

*Ministry will bar offensive publications by Jacqueline Ann Surin, The Sun
*Banned book list baffling by Michael Cheang & Marc Lordes, The Star
We have a voice and the MSM are after all helping us deflect wild allegations, aren't they? Read more about banned books at our Manuscripts Don't Burn blog.

It's a complete irony that the Malaysian government sees themself as the "moral guardian" of the country.

(Talk about encouraging stupidity to the max. *sigh* )
