Perkasa backs Rais’ proposed Facebook substitute, wants user details recorded

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 30 — Malay rights group Perkasa today backed a former minister’s proposal for Malaysia to create a local Facebook alternative following China’s footsteps, saying this will help suppress seditious remarks such as racial and religious insults.

Perkasa secretary-general Syed Hassan Syed Ali also suggested that users of the popular social network be made to register in order to remove all anonymity.

“This would be able to stop all insults against any religion and race,” Syed Hassan told Malay Mail Online today.

“Users should also provide accurate personal details when registering with ‘FB Malaysia.’ This will make all parties afraid of doing wrong on Facebook. They will be more responsible,”  the senior leader of the Malay rights group added.

American business magazine Forbes said in a 2012 article that while China does not allow access to Facebook, along with other websites such as YouTube and Twitter, there are two social networking sites operating in the country: Renren and Sina Weibo.

Both sites abide by China’s strict censorship of online content, blocking and deleting information that does not conform with the Chinese government’s guidelines.

Rais: Create own ‘Facebook’ to curb sedition

Malaysia can create its own social website like ‘Facebook’ as introduced in China for its own people in the effort to control seditious statements which could threaten public order, said Social and Cultural Affairs Advisor to the Government, Rais Yatim.

Apart from that, Rais who was former Information, Communication and Culture Minister said the authorities should be given the power to block the social website for a short time until an investigation is conducted against the individual concerned.

“Officially, I have presented the proposal to the government and the Attorney-General. It is up to them.

“What has been carried out in China in creating its own Facebook, can also be done by us and we can take preventive measures faster,” he said.

He was speaking to reporters after a Merdeka appreciation programme organised by the Rural and Regional Ministry in conjunction with the 57th Merdeka Day today.

Peacemaker Rais Yatim shd stuff his suggestion for a Msian version of Facebook in his “where the sun don’t shine”. It reflects that the man is out of touch with reality, understandable when you live in an UMNO-approved cocoon. He is well past his use-by date and shd graciously retire from public life.

negarawan Copying facebook is an infringement of intellectual property rights. In China, copying is rampant because the government does not care about international copyright laws. I suppose that Rais, as a lawyer, should be more aware about copyright laws?

Bystander Firstly, unlike China, Malaysia doesn’t have the capacity unless this idea is mooted with sinister motives and agendas, like silencing the critics and also to get eventual “Bail Out”by Khazanah. China also shoot those who are corrupts with bullets to be paid by the next of kins. Why don’t we also implement it too?
AkuMelayu-tetapi ABU jugak, Don’t PlayPlay !!! Hello Anak Yatim, why don’t also STRONGLY recommend to Jibby to create Malaysia’s own CLOUD which can have MULTI-functions (like the MyKAD and SMART Tunnel)… First function over the internet and Second to function as RAIN Cloud whenever there is drought like the recent Selangor situation… Then the periodic (yearly.??) water shortage in Selangor will be solved permanently… Your supporters in umno BeEND and Jelebu surely will support you with every limbs of their bodies.. You may actually get the Nobel Prize… Wakakakkakakaka
AkuMelayu-tetapi ABU jugak, Don’t PlayPlay !!! Like his many canine friends in umno BeEND, Anak Yatim is cracking his head to come up with ideas better than the “juices” like Zuckerberg to get projects… After all if RM 6,000,000,000 to MAS is NOT a “bailout”, whats another RM 6,000,000,000 for the Anak Yatim to play with… Even if the Malaysian “muka-buku” is doomed for failure, one can always blame the “juices” for “unfair” competition later…. Guess Anak Yatim’s friends in PAS could also support him on this…..

Not Confused Rais Yatim has been known to be an inept minister, but this suggestion beats all his past brainless utterances by a mile. I wonder what planet he is on now?
