While being empathetic for Nathaniel Tan, his family, and the plight of those who bravely fight for political justice in Malaysia, I now honestly detest the idea of the association of Nat being arrested for being a blogger, or any such equation "blogger = arrested". This is particularly evident because of his direct involvement in politics in real life, in the first place. Being a Malaysian blogger does not make you a political blogger, or someone involved in politics.

While I was supportive of Jeff and Rocky's plight, as a by-stander, I'm beginning to loathe headlines flashing "blogger sued" or "blogger arrested". Please do not contaminate the meaning of a "blogger". Political figures or activists who are blogging, while I respect your move to reach out to us citizens in ways that you can, you're beginning to give the Malaysian blogosphere a bad name for the rest of us.

FYI, I am not and do not like to be classified as a socio-political blogger.

But I will say this, from what I've read regarding Nat's arrest, it just proves how dirty our so-called law enforcement "authorities" are -- and it's played out in the open for all to see. Kudos to our police force! Malaysia memang boleh!
