National Bloggers' Day, Indonesia

The proclamation was made by Indonsia's Communications and Information Minister Muhammad Nuh at the Pesta Blogger 2007 held at Blitz Megaplex in Jakarta, yesterday (October 27).

The bloggers' meet was attended by over 480 participants. Unspun said at least about 400 of them were bloggers while the rest were observers. It has been an unprecedented bloggers gathering that was made up of bloggers not only from Jakarta, but from as far away as Poso.

Zam came to a Hari Raya lunch in section 16....but he was gone before I could reach him.No worry, we had better company under the shade of the old mango tree.

Perhaps Rocky could do a piece of what his Loftiness the minister of communications imparted to the chosen few.Should the minister on occasions like this meet the people or would he expect the multitude to come to pay respects to him. Hey, Zam this aint your function. Do the right thing. Engage....but no promises of marriage.

While it is National Bloggers day in Indonesia it is being rubbished here and the latest attack comes from no other than defacto Law Minister Nazri himself in his exlusive interview with NST (28 Oct 07) which covers the controversial video clip, the judiciary, the Bar Council and bloggers. His coments:”few pieces that people print for me are just rubbish” ..” when the standard of our bloggers is upgraded, then probably I will look at what is written”. And the Minister of propaganda on the video clip “turned to information communication technology (ICT) to make the gimmick look real. "We should be in control of IT (information technology) but it appears that IT is controlling us"
