Obey!

Eyes downwards, fellas. Fu Ah Kiow, the Malaysian Deputy Internal Security Minister, wants you to know that freedom is nothing but blind, uncritical obedience of the masses. Ah Kiow wants you to know that standards for good morals can only be interpreted by members of the Barisan high-office.

See, Ah Kiow is pissed with 'irresponsible' Malaysians on the internet.

Hence swollen with piss and looking for a target to scalp, Ah Kiow now plans to prosecute those who have uploaded clips of Mat Rempits doing 'dangerous' stunts on YouTube and other websites. He terms this as inciting unrest and taunting the police.

Reports Malaysiakini (subscription req): "Action will be taken against these people ... We have to stop this now as others could post more harmful materials which could threaten security and racial harmony," the New Straits Times quoted Fu as saying.

Stretch it, Fu, stretch it.

Mat Rempits on YouTube can rile up the police, imagine that! Are they still on formula milk? Surely there's a lot more to be riled up in real-life episodes as it is.

Rather here it comes, people: A sure sign the govt will be taking a heightened hardline stance on local content over the internet. My gut feel is that they'd like to see a cyberscape cleaned out like the hills in Nusajaya before the announcement of the oncoming G-Elections. Then bombard us with feel-good stories and fresh repaved roads.... yep, it's all coming soon.

So sock it to them. By all means, eyeball them and make 'em blink. Unless of course you can handle the idea of reading lame bakkutteh reviews forevermore.
