Their jobs is to “thwart slanderous comments and allegations posted on the Internet.”
So, the number of professional bloggers (who blog for a living) will increase tremendously.
Blogging has done a lot and this is just one more cap in its feather. So Pahang is a good place to retire.
Seriously, I am not sure whether this is a good move by the Pahang govt or not. Dunno if I should laugh or cry.
Hahaha!
Hi Rocky,
I think its not a good move. Blogging in the real sense is related to one’s interest or passion. You “want” to blog. When it becomes a job, it takes a new meaning. Obviously, the bloggers will be pro-government. They will say only positive things. Will they speak their minds?
I think the state government might as well make use of its PRO staff to write comments and articles online. Why waste money hiring more people?
