Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Take seven more deep deep breaths. Stabilise your breathing. Go deeper into the word of your supra-consciousness until your reach a space. A space of bits and bytes.
Welcome to cyberspace. Malaysian cyberspace. Think of two cybernetic landscapes Malaysiakini and Malaysia-Today. Think of these questions below:
Why are governments afraid of the power of citizen journalism - and of the Internet in general? What will be the conclusion of this great war between government bloggers and Guevara-inspired guerilla-like grassroots-based cyber-freedom fighters? Especially the one that is raging in malaysiakini and malaysia-today. A war that is bringing criminals from the battlefields of cyberspace into the real world of the interrogation rooms of the Anti-Corruption Agency. Ones that help expose wrongdoings of elected representatives and bring his downfall. Battles that rage between ideas of totalitarianism in universities and prospects for a freedom of inquiry and anti-fascism in college classrooms. Spaces of knowledge that bring us up to date information on what magnitude of corruption the New Economic Policy has brought us after 37 years.
