Cyber court is not the solution

Posted in Malaysia Explorer by Oon Yeoh on Tuesday, January 20 2009 11:28 PM

Malaysia is mulling the creation of a cyber court to deal with the problem of bloggers who post content that may be deemed seditious.

Prosecuting bloggers is not the solution. If they start arresting and convicting bloggers who post "undesirable" content, pretty soon those who want to do so will simply go anonymous. What can the cyber court do then?

Malaysia has gotten it right so far in not censoring the Internet. It should keep up with that policy, which makes it one of the more progressive countries, when it comes to the Internet, in this part of the world (Asia).

stock market
Now result season is going on and results are not that positive in broader terms. More or less results are mix for Indian companies. Still Regards Indian stock market requires one triggering point which can give clear trend in the market.

Still Nifty is in mix zone. Nifty will be bullish only if Nifty manages to trade and sustain above 3150-3200 level below these levels bears will rule the dalaal street.
Few Stocks to stay away from for short term
1. DLF
2. Satyam comp
3. Bharti Airtel
4. Tata steel
5. Rcom
