Blogger Oon Yeoh called two Malaysian students in the US "hypocrites" for speaking out against the Bush government, but later quietly took out that part in his blog.

When letter writer Allen challenged his stand and inadvertently revealed the mysterious disappearance of the paragraph, Oon put the blame o­n the lack of understanding among Malaysian readers o­n what a column or a weblog is, and offered the ingenious explanation that the weblog should be an interactive thing, thereby giving him the right to alter or remove what he had written.

I think Oon Yeoh's Transitions would pose a credibility problem for malaysiakini in the long run.

While we're o­n the issue of credibility, do read ' In Bush we trust not' written by Paul Krugman for the New York Times.
