Blog House Malaysia is supposedly the online media watchdog for the Media Consultative Council, claiming to defend bloggers on their site. Bloggers pay a membership fee for their services. Is Tony Yew now telling all bloggers that Blog House Malaysia will not tolerate a person’s random thoughts? 

By Lilian’s friend (at least, I’d like to think so)

A police report was made against a videographer attached to the Penang government over her tweet allegedly related to the Bersih 2.0 rally on July 9. Utusan had claimed she was inciting the Christians.

The Investigating Officer from Brickfields and a cyber crime personnel will be going to Penang to take her statement at the IPD DTL police station around 5.30 pm on Thursday 28 July 2011.  

The videographer, Lilian, had sent a personal tweet in her protected, private Twitter account. This is what she wrote:

I think all Christians shud march for all the persecution they had done to us and our Lord. Dont you think so? I go sleep now, bye-bye. 🙂

As soon as she sent this off, a person by the name of Tony Yew who is the Secretary of Blog House Malaysia demanded she retract what she had said because he claimed she was mixing politics with religion. She replied on Twitter:

Oh really? What? Where?

However, there was no response from him on Twitter. Instead, he made a police report against her.

Tony Yew appears to have intentionally ignored the fact that it was written at night, in a flippant manner. Then, he did not give her the chance to clarify her statement if he had indeed misunderstood it.
 
Of course, Utusan Malaysia had to publish the story where the original Tweet with “I think” and the “Don’t you think so? I go sleep now, bye-bye :)”  being omitted, sensationalising her statement to seem like she was trying to gather supporters for her thoughts. 

This is what she said when she wrote to me:

1. My tweets are protected and Tony Yew whom I have added into my account has abused it
2. I never intend to incite as one can see I started my Tweet with ‘I think’.  It is a private thought and done in a random way, with general references
3. As a Catholic Christian, I care for all segment of societies
4. I never condemn anyone in my Tweet
5. This is my conviction to my religion. The freedom and belief which are protected under Malaysia Constitution.
6. I believe in peace and harmony
7. I am a Malaysian and love the country
8. The Bible never teach me to hate nor incite

Therefore, the accusation that I am inciting is false.  

Her case has not gone to court yet, and I hope it will not reach that stage. Are our private thoughts at stake now? I think we all feel the mainstream media is always twisting facts. Are they now proving that it is in fact true?
