Malaysiakini cuts link to Screenshot blog ?
The familiar banner “Screenshot” at Malaysiakini (English edition) has been taken off! Is it related to Jeff’s official entry into the DAP this morning? However over at the Chinese edition, the link to Screenshot is still there.
I hope Jeff realise that he is different from today henceforth. He is an Oppositionist now and will be treated as one.
Jeff has a new blog at http://parliament.jeffooi.com
Hope Jeff will find it purposeful in the DAP.
Malaysiakini has the following report:
Opposition party DAP has issued an open invitation to bloggers to enter into active politics in the wake of its efforts to recruit potential candidates ahead of an anticipated early general elections.
The call was made by DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang at a tea party held in Petaling Jaya this morning to welcome Malaysia’s leading blogger Jeff Ooi .
“I will like to see more politicians taking up blogging and more bloggers entering politics,” Lim told about 70 supporters, bloggers and media representatives who were present.
The Opposition leader also stressed that socio-political blogging is not an end by itself.
Ooi, who is considered the father of Malaysian blogging, was one of the first Malaysians to take to the blogosphere with his ‘Screenshots’ weblog four years ago.
