Another enigma in Bolehland


The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) visited Malaysiakini office to investigate the “ deemed offensive” cow-head videos. A team of seven-member MCMC team, which included three digital forensics experts, demanded Malaysiakini to hand over the original tapes of the two videos.

They sought to copy certain parts of the hard disk from two Malaysiakini computers used to edit and upload the videos. According to MCMC monitoring and enforcement division senior acting director Abdul Halim Ahman, in his letter, the display of both videos on the news portal "is an offence under Section 211/233 of the CMA".
There you go, they should be going after the UMNO Hereos who were involved in the cow head incident and Kerismuddin for making such a remark but instead they are going after the alternative press for posting the videos. Not once but thrice they visited Malaysikini office and conducted investigation. How about the some Malay portals which are posting derogative pictures and articles that certainly will offend other races? When is MCMC officers going to confiscate or at least raid such offices or people? Baruah betul!
