JOHOR BARU: Bloggers have been accused of censoring feedback sent by government departments to their websites. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the feedback was aimed at correcting inaccurate statements and false allegations about the Government, which appeared in some of the cyber articles.<\/p>\n

He said the Government was not given a chance to explain certain issues<\/strong><\/span> to the people.<\/p>\n

“There were articles criticising the Government. We also sent in many replies but they were removed by the bloggers,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Khaled said the Government had in the past ignored such articles. “We made a mistake. The blogs play an important role. The people read and believe what’s said in the blogs. “Now, we are looking at the blogs to respond to them but are prevented from doing so,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Khaled said he would bring up the issue in the next Cabinet meeting.
\nBloggers must be fair’<\/strong><\/p>\n

JOHOR BARU: Bloggers who criticise the government should be brave enough to post responses from the government. Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said government leaders trying to respond directly to allegations in the blogosphere about their performance and private lives had been rebuffed. “The bloggers irresponsibly erase our comments <\/span><\/strong>to prevent the public from reading our explanations on issues raised by them.<\/p>\n

“I therefore challenge these bloggers to face the truth by posting our comments instead of giving one-sided commentaries on issues and misleading the public.”<\/p>\n

Khaled said criticisms by bloggers could appear as the truth to the public, especially the younger generation. “This will cause them to hate the government if these criticisms are repeated by the bloggers,” he said after opening the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Johor Jaya 1 yesterday.<\/p>\n

Khaled said the time had come for the authorities to keep bloggers in check<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
