“KIMANIS (Sabah), July 28 (Bernama) — Umno wants bloggers who resort to slander to be brought to book, said Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

He said these bloggers did not think about the sensitivities of others and the repercussions their writings can cause.

“There are no laws in the cyberworld except for the law of the jungle. As such, action must be taken so that the “monkeys” behave,” he told reporters after opening the Papar, Kimanis and Sipitang Umno Youth annual delegates conference here today.

Khairy said there were some bloggers who thought they were above the law.

He said this when asked about Malaysia-Today webmaster Raja Petra Kamaruddin being called by the police for alleged seditious comments posted on it.

Khairy added that he too had been slandered on websites but had yet to take legal action because the case might take a long time to be settled.” - BERNAMA

And that comes from someone who brags about his stupidity of owning an iPhone in his column on a national newspaper and using it via roaming (since it can’t be unlocked yet) back home in Malaysia. The very same person who would hang out with the Mat Rempits and ride around by-election towns without wearing a helmet (isn’t that against the law? Oh wait, he’s the son-in-law of our Prime Minister).

The very person who thinks that bloggers do not care for the sensitivity of others, yet this very person is the one who goes around raising racial issues and having no respect at all for foreign leaders when he acted in outrage in a demonstration in town when US Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice was around.

Who’s the monkey now?
