Dear Di,
A quiet Sunday today for me. After a tiring week, this weekend is a blessing. I was earlier glued to the TV watching movie re-runs courtesy of Astro. Infact, I don't know why Astro saw it necessary to increase the subscription fee. I wonder if I can still opt for the old fee is I reject some of the new channels it offers to subscribers.
The kids have endeared themselves to the notebooks - playing computer games or surfing the Facebook. It is sad they no longer see the joy of going out of the house playing football at the playground or chitchatting with friends.

Now I too have dedicated myself to the notebook locking my eyes on the MacBook Air screen. Went through my favourite blogs, online news and forums. After an hour of reading, I began to wonder why the Opposition is allowed to dominate the Malaysian cyberspace almost all the time since 2008. Let me make it clear I am not asking the Government to restrict or censure the Internet. What I want to see is the same agressiveness by the Government and Barisan Nasional in addressing the political issues via the main stream media. Least the Government forgets, there are millions of Malaysians and most are registered voters who look to the Net for information. For some reasons, they are not depending on the MSM to satisfy their needs to know what is going on around the country and the world.
Another negative but alarmingly dangerous situationvis observing BN component members and some UMNO leaders starting to questions and criticising publicly decisions made by the Government. Not that they can't do that but, there are channels established for these purposes. I wonder how Prime Minister and BN Chairman Dato Sri Najib Tun Razak can keep religiously quiet. How long can he maintain silence as more and more verbal attacks are made against the Government and on the PM himself.
Some quarters sarcastically mentioned that Najib's silence is made on the advice of his foreign consultants. They said billions were paid to the consultants and the best advice given to Najib is to keep quiet as long as possible.
With all the happenings, BN supporters looked as if they are worried about the situation and want action to be taken. But until now, nothing seems to be done. They see the mighty coalition of 14 political parties is slowly but surely losing their popularity among voters and may see losing power for the first time in the next general election. On the other hand, the continued attack by DAP, PAS and PKR against BN and the Government are causing serious cracks to the BN support as more hardcore supporters are starting the believe in the Opposition's propaganda.
The Opposition and their supporters are further enbolden by the elegance silence of BN leaders, including the Prime Minister to launch their "drones". Their cybertroopers spew lies upon lies daily. Yet the Government choose to keep quiet. Legal actions are rare. Even the Prime Minister refused to take legal action despite being viciously attacked with lies.
Hence, the Opposition and their supporters feel that they are given a blank cheque to launch verbal abuse against the Government. They know they would not be stopped and the damage inflicted on BN is significant.
