Home Ministry still studying contents of book by Barry Wain as it is 'normal procedure'

According to the Home Ministry, they are currently studying the contents of 'Malaysian Maverick: Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times', written by Barry Wain. The book drew nationwide interest after DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang revealed that the book contained some very 'interesting' facts which includes how Dr Mahathir successfully developed the country during his 22 years as the prime minister. It also includes how he 'wasted' some RM100billion on grandiose projects during that tenure as well.

This then prompted many quarters to call for the book to be released to the public but the Home Ministry has stated that they ware still studying the book before a decision is made as it is 'normal procedures' to do so. “This was to ensure the book would not affect the prevailing peace and stability in the country” and that they have up to 60 days to do so.

KDN have every right to vet the book for the moment. But in this IT savy world we live in, the book can be easily be converted into an e-book and sold in the net.

KDN has to devise some form of stopping this book in cyber space!

I do believe I am right. This internet thing is really becoming a menace isn't it?????

I think it is best to ban the internet!


They should also confiscate all computers, laptops etc.

Owing a modem of any sort should be made a criminal offense.

Without the internet, the share market will collapse, banks will be in ruins. Forget the predictions for 2012, Malaysia will self destruct way before that date!

Anything can happen in Bolehland!
