'cyber war' started in malaysia?!?...

out of the whole article below... the only line that really caught my attention is this...

as reported... "“This is among our key strategies in preparation for the elections. The other is getting our members to register as voters,”"...

yup, one can imagine how soon can the next general election be... also, through this statement, am pretty sure there are loads of umno members who are NOT registered voters!... talk about committment eh?!?...

as reported... "On the other hand, she said, there was a tendency among opposition party members not to believe any negative report about their leaders."...

then, why bother starting a 'war' in the 1st place?!?... sigh!...

anyway, why only start this kinda 'war' now, just because of general lection is coming?!?.. meaning they could not be bother wat people say during the 'normal time'?!?...


p/s ; with evidence and facts but they call them blatant lies?!?... siapa yang bodoh, bodoh dan bodoh sekarang?!?... hehe! :) ...







Umno recruiting team of writers to fight ‘cyber war’

KOTA KINABALU: Umno is set to do battle in cyberspace ahead of the anticipated general election by assembling a team of writers from every state to counter allegations about the party and its leadership on certain websites.

Umno supreme council member Datuk Azalina Othman Said said she had been recently tasked by party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to take charge of this “cyber war.”

“This is among our key strategies in preparation for the elections. The other is getting our members to register as voters,” she said yesterday after opening the Kota Kinabalu Umno Youth, Wanita and Puteri meetings.

Azalina, the Youth and Sports Minister, said all state Umno liaison committees would be asked to identify writers willing to assist the party in this cause.

However, she declined to explain how these writers would carry out their duties nor did she name the websites that had purportedly spread the allegations.

Earlier, in her speech when opening the Youth, Wanita and Puteri meetings, Azalina said certain websites appeared to be stepping up their attacks against the country’s leaders.

“We need to counter these blatant lies. If we remain quiet, our worry is that some of our members and civil servants will be influenced by all these nonsense,” she added.

Azalina said she was aware that many party members liked visiting certain websites and could end up believing what was posted there.

On the other hand, she said, there was a tendency among opposition party members not to believe any negative report about their leaders.

“We want Umno members to support and defend their leaders. If they are sitting in a coffeeshop and hear others talking badly about the party leaders they should counter those lies immediately,” Azalina added.

In a related development, she said the opposition had resorted to moving their members and supporters to seats they were confident of winning in the coming polls.
