Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

  • Pemilihan Calon Berpotensi Jadi Nombor Dua Umno (Berita Harian 10/06/2004)
    10/06/2004 Pemilihan calon berpotensi jadi nombor dua Umno By Kadir Dikoh PENGUMUMAN Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein untuk mempertahankan jawatan Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda Umno pada pemilihan di Perhimpunan Agung parti ke-57 September ini, mengakhiri teka-teki yang sudah berlegar sejak beberapa bulan lalu. Sekali gus juga, Menteri Pelajaran itu menutup tirai buat sementara untuk mengintai jawatan Naib Presiden Umno - jawatan yang dilihat sebagai hierarki untuk ke puncak dalam parti berusia 58 tahun itu. Hishammuddin pasti sudah membuat perkiraan secara mendalam dan `petunjuk' arah mana yang akan dituju. Beliau mahu meneruskan kepemimpinan Pemuda untuk sepenggal saja lagi. Langkah itu dikira bijak dan menunjukkan beliau tidak gopoh dalam membuka langkah untuk naik ke tangga hierarki yang lebih tinggi dalam parti. Sejarah dalam Umno juga menyaksikan kegopohan seseorang untuk naik secara mendadak, akan jatuh dengan cepat. Bagaimanapun, persaingan untuk jawatan Naib Presiden tetap sengit kali ini tetapi tidak semestinya tiga calon yang menang itu nanti, bakal mengiringi Datuk Seri Najib Razak ke puncak. Berdasarkan sejarah dalam Umno, hanya mereka yang bernasib baik dan berada di barisan Naib Presiden tepat pada waktu dan ketikanya saja boleh naik. Maknanya, mereka yang menjadi Naib Presiden pada waktu hampir peralihan kuasa pada peringkat Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden akan berpeluang besar untuk naik ke jawatan nombor dua dan faktor usia turut memainkan peranan. Kerana itu juga, perwakilan ke Perhimpunan Agung Umno dikatakan lebih cenderung untuk memilih mereka yang berpotensi menjadi orang nombor dua dalam parti, manakala dua orang lagi dipilih bagi menseimbangkan keadaan. Namun, kebiasaannya terpulang kepada bakal Presiden Umno untuk memilih seorang daripada kalangan tiga Naib Presiden untuk menjadi orang nombor dua dalam parti tanpa mengira kekananan seseorang itu (berdasarkan jumlah undi tertinggi).

  • Investigating the Awareness of Onsite Mechanization in Malaysian Construction Industry
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 77 ( 2014 ) 205 – 212 Fourth International Symposium on Infrastructure Engineering in Developing Countries, IEDC 2013 Investigating the Awareness of Onsite Mechanization in Malaysian Construction Industry M. Warisa,*, Mohd. Shahir Liewb, Mohd. Faris Khamidic, Arazi Idrusd a,bDepartment of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Tronoh 31750, Perak, Malaysia cSchool of Built and Environment, Heriot-Watt University, Putrajaya, Malaysia dDepartment of Civil Engineering, National Defence Universiti, Kuala Lumpur 57000, Malaysia Abstract The Malaysian construction industry is vital for the country economy and always played a key role towards the development of national infrastructure. The ever-increasing market competitiveness and the widespread adoption of Industrialized Building System (IBS) by the local contractors derive the industry to improve the existing processes for achieving higher levels of quality and products. This transition from traditional methods of construction give a momentum to the deployment of onsite mechanized equipments. The utilization of mechanized equipments increases construction productivity and as well as reduces the dependency on foreign labour. However, a large amount of construction company’s capital is also invested in procuring these equipments. In addition to this, varieties of construction equipments are also required for carrying out these operations. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the current awareness and application of onsite mechanization in Malaysian construction industry. A questionnaire survey was conducted among a classified group of Construction Industry Development Board of Malaysia (CIDB) G7 Class ‘A’ contractors. The results of the survey show that there is a good understanding of Malaysian contractors towards mechanization.

  • Internet Policing
    Page 1 CPPS Policy Fact sheet: Internet Policing CPPS is pleased to bring you its “ CPPS Policy Fact Sheet ” on Internet policing . In this fact sheet we will review Internet policing, specifically Internet monitoring and censorship. You can access all CPPS policy factsheets here and here . BACKGROUND The development of Internet as an important means of communication has led to an interesting and contradictory scenario. There are numerous Internet crimes being committed such as data thefts, cyberattacks on critical information systems, child sexual abuse images, internet fraud, identity theft and intellectual property crime (trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy). Internet crimes are criminal offences that are facilitated via the means of communication devises in a network (the Internet). This then led to the birth of Internet police , which is a term for organizations (not necessarily from the police force or secret police departments) in charge of policing the Internet . The role is not restricted to curbing the crimes mentioned above but also to monitor and censor the online public opinion. Internet police is to patrol its networks and is constantly upgrading software to filter sites . Several technologies are employed to censor the Internet such as caching, blacklisting domain name or IP address , or simply redirection to a government homepage . Blacklisting the website is beneficial for this kind of web censorship as the webmasters would be unaware of own website blockage. While the need for internet policing is can be justified in terms of curbing online fraud; their role in censoring and regulating online public opinion can be construed as obstructing the Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of rights to freedom of opinion and expression.

At the General Assembly of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), of which the prime minister himself was the president, he explained the negative aspects of the public support for Malays heretofore and sought to free Malay entrepreneurs from dependence on the government. In partic- ular, he focused on the problem of small Bumiputera contractors who depend on public investment and encouraged their entry into agriculture and agriculture-related industries which can expect to earn income over the long term. However, in 2005, events occurred that displayed the deep-rooted nature of the collusion between Malay entrepreneurs and politicians as well as the difficulty of resolving the problem. One was the exposure of vote-buying behavior in the UMNO elections in September 2004, and the other was a controversy surrounding the Approved Permit (AP) for importation of motor vehicles.

  • Social Media, Democratic Movement and Challenges on the Content
    International Journal for Innovation Education and Research www.ijier.net Vol:-3 No-12, 2015 Social Media, Democratic Movement and Challenges on the Content Dr. Sara Chinnasamy University Technology Mara, Malaysia Abstract The freedom of Internet has created emerging trends, particularly as it now plays greater role in enhancing new political culture, in changing mainstream media democracy practices, and in supporting more diverse participation among Malaysians. The most notable trends are the growing numbers of bloggers since the Malaysian 12th and 13th general election, the formation of bloggers’ group, and also the popularity of internet media which is run by independent groups; mostly linked to opposition parties and the increase of video sharing websites posted by citizen journalists in spreading political issues and their own opinions. However, this expansion has continuously created difficulties for the ruling government (BN), as public were exposed to other alternative online views rather than through mainstream media. Meanwhile, Internet community also faced obstacles such as defamation and sedition charges and being arrested under blurring legislation provisions. In the present time, concerns have arisen among Internet community whether mainstream media restrictions may spill over into cyberspace. This paper will investigate how and why the Internet has made a difference to Malaysian political culture, how news discourses have produced more diversity in participation, and how independent Internet media can be managed through a policy framework Keywords: Malaysia, Internet, mainstream media, democracy, election 1.1 The beginning of the Internet venture The 21st century has witnessed the rapid growth of information and communication technology due to the momentum of Internet development and the rising rate of consumption.
