Oh, oh.

Certainly would make it easier to know who are all the buggers out there posting offensive remarks via their tmnet/streamyx ISP on a particular ongoing court case that we are not supposed to talk about.

As Kit Leee once said, "[ DELETED ] (honesty) is the best policy".

Gahmen owned company selling out to Umno outfit. This news is as exciting as going for [ DELETED ] prayers.

i just hope this is not happening

this move would make media prima the biggest media company in malaysia.

at first buying private television stations and then big tree advertising ...

now, TM ...

maybe there are really scrambling for every last bit of valuable advertising/media realty in the market that money can buy

There goes our freedom of speech...

30% is quite a significant amount.

Will this be the beginning of the death of internet freedom in Malaysia?

freedom of speech long dead. Now is the time to poison our minds. Whatever you read and watch will be at the disposal of certain quarters.

hope our internet connection will be better this...hopefully

Hi, seems like ZoomFinance requires some kind of account to login, any other source regarding this news?

hmmm... i think someone is panicking. notice how in the last 12 months or so, more and more goverment led "initiatives" have been exposed by the internet. blog ka, clog ka.. it's been put online for everyone to see. to the wrong-doers, it's like have a bunsen burner under the ball bag. you just can't sit easy, y'know?. and finally, some smart arse must have said, "why don't we reel em all in?" hence all the drama we're seeing now.

Hey, you deleted a punchline from my post!

What? Even mentioning the 3 letter acronym is subjudice? OK, from now on, I'll refer to them as "the paper that cares". No, wait, that's already taken.

Think the isp business has been taken out of TMNet, notice from my telekom bill that it now includes Access charges. it will be content & IPTV + 8tv ceo taking on the helm ,one big blue hyppo eh :)

INTERNET does not operate in a legal vacuum.
