KUALA LUMPUR: The Home Ministry is monitoring blogs to check if bloggers are posting comments that confuse the people on controversial issues.Deputy Home Minister Datuk Chor Chee Heung said that at the moment, the ministry was merely advising bloggers against the misuse of blogs.
“So far, we are only telling them not to use their blogs as a mechanism to confuse people or as a weapon against those they don’t like,” he said on Tuesday when asked about bloggers posting comments on the National Fatwa Council’s edict banning Muslims from practising yoga.
“However, if the comments are deemed as posing a threat to public security, we will view them seriously,” he said, adding that it would be left to the minister to act on such cases.
“The ministry is always monitoring developments in the blogosphere,” Chor said after the launch of the National Anti-Drug Agency’s new programme, Rakan Anti-Dadah (Rada), to eradicate drug abuse.

botak,how bout newspaper that confusing people everyday? readers switch to bloggers for reasons,n dats their rights as guaranteed by de constitution..u cant force people to buy de so called 'utusan meloya' just to hv them more confuse on de news n info
Ini pun satu lagi...tak tau lah apa kelayakan yang Pak Lah nilai untuk bagi depa ni dok kat situ..??
"Paper" ada kreditbiliti,.ada share holder,c.e.o. editor, dan wartawan nyer,. kalu rasa xpuas hati saman lah,..tentu ada pihak yg akan bertanggung-jawab,.
Tapi blog???,.lempar batu sembunyi tangan
kalo takutkan sesuatu, kene hadapi..berani kerana benar. bukan dgn menghalang, menutup mulut dan mengunci minda org2 yg x sehaluan.
bloggers mengkritik, bukan nk membunuh.
