Thank You, Bloggers and Civil Society Leaders

Thanks, Pet (www.malaysia-today. net), James Wong, Haris Ibrahim, Atan of Rockybru, and Steven Gan (www. malaysiakini.com) and other bloggers for helping to turn the winds of change into a political tsunami, which our country and certainly the UMNO-BN regime have not seen in 50 years. Civil society group leaders too played their part.

At today’s (March 18, 2008) Press Conference in Petaling Jaya, Anwar Ibrahim informed the press that bloggers and civil society organisations had a big hand in the success of Barisan Rakyat (PKR, PAS and DAP).The bloggers in particular did a yeoman’s job of spreading the message of change and good governance to the people, and they effectively blunted the mainstream media’s pro-UMNO/BN propaganda.—Din Merican
