Malaysia Today is under severe attack! And another website Free Malaysia Today is also block just a few hours ago. There are rumours going around that Wong Chun Wai the chief editor of The Star new media is to be sack.
There is now a cyber war in Malaysia and the suspicion is that the corrupt and evil people are behind the attack depriving Malaysians of their favourite alternative news site.
The government controlled media are fast losing readership and circulations of the main stream news papers fast dropping and there were talks by the authorities in the implementation of a Malaysian Green Dam to block out internet sites.
"We are under severe attack" Raja Petra said in an email from London as reported by Asia Sentinel just a few hours ago.
The story carried by Malaysia-Today on 5th September about Tay Kay Hock of Johan Holdings Bhd asking for RM500 million for the award of the railway contract and the Penang second bridge project has caught the attention of the Chinese authorities and is viewed with grave concern as the chinese government is on an anti corruption campaign wiht high profile government officials being caught and convicted. Corruption is viewed as a serious capital crime in China and is punishable through public execution.
