But I thought... I thought Internet newspapers would play a role in Vision 2020;

I thought Internet newspapers would have a part in the K-economy;

I thought Internet newspapers would contribute a lot to a Multimedia Super Corridor;

I thought Internet newspapers would jive well with the idea of an 'e-government';

I thought Internet newspapers would be just as much a part of life in cyber-cities as ordinary newspapers are in our brick-and-mortar homes;

But now malaysiakini is barred from covering government events on the grounds that the government does not recognise Internet newspapers. Maybe our 'forward-thinking' leaders know better.
