Pressuring change through blogging II

Categories: East Asia, Brunei, Citizen Media, Education, Freedom of Speech

A late addition to the issue concerning pressuring change in the government through blogging [1] is Zul Funkmasta [2]. He postulates that not only the education system that does not encourage voicing out ideas, but it is also the Bruneian culture of discouraging the voicing out of ideas, concerns and criticisms.

We can blame it on the education system or even our own culture for this 'sydrome'. The idea of voicing out ideas, concerns and criticisms are some what not part of our 'operating system'.
