Recently some minister came out to say that blogs are bad for the country.
I think I know why he said so. Anything the government can't control, they will say that it is bad for the country. They can control the conventional media, such as the press [Don't want anything bad said? Just shut down the printing press.] and the TV or radio stations [Take and hold the stations.] But in the case of blogging, as long as they catch hold of one blogger and take him/her under ISA, the blogging community will just ignore the whole business, and they will continue blogging as usual. The blogging community may even criticize the government even more. So the nett effect is that nothing much happens. Thus, anything that the government cannot control, they will denounce it as something bad to the country.
How boring. And also annoying....
