Back in 2nd of August, quoting from The Star :
The Prime Minister has issued a warning - those who spread untruths and slander on the Internet will face the law. If information in blogs, websites and online portals were incorrect, bordered on slander, caused disturbance or compelled the public to lose faith in the nation's economic policies, their authors would be detained for investigation, said Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
This piece of news did instill some kind of fear in a kia-zheng-hu person, which is me. From now onwards, I will make sure 101% that everything regarding my country in my blogs are quoting from a legal source. For example, The Star or Utusan Melayu? <- I never read that though my high school BM teacher said that it will improve my BM essay writting skills. May be I should start reading it to ensure the correctness of the information in this blog. Hopefully, my blog will not be banned because I share out what I see in the newspaper. *Fingers are crossing.*
Anyway, what I want to share today is regarding the issue of my hometown's chief minister post. For those that are too busy to follow their day in and day out reports, which already lingered for months and still keep expanding, you better spend some times to update yourself regarding it. It is a big matter as we are going to depend on the current and coming government to solve the huge traffic jam problem in the entire Penang, revamp the penang public transportation, ensure the smooth second bridge construction and execute the monorail implementation in near future. Without much delays, let me bring you the soup opera of Who is going to be Penang next chief minister?. *Drumroll...*
