Take 1: Asiabusinessconsulting.blogspot.com yesterday posted about protests in Tsinghua University/China following the recent restriction by the authorities that non-student visitors, including former alumni, are no longer allowed to take part in the campus' chat room, in the latest move to clamp down on the free exchange of ideas on Internet forums.
Take 2: Mack (BrandMalaysia.com) has a post today lamenting that on some occasions, he really felt "ashamed" to be a Malaysian, relating the "couldn't care less" treatment fellow Malaysian Peter Tan encountered when he requested the management at the apartments where he was staying to put in place an "emergency warning system" after last December 26's Tsunami incident so that people in high-rises, espceially those with "disabilities" could have some urgent means to evacuate to protect themselves. A "real-life" rehearsal took place just three months later when Malaysians felt the tremors from the 8.7 Richter-strong early today hit West Sumatra, with some 300 reportedly killed as of first day's count. Incidentally, Peter was the earliest (or among the earliest?) Blogger to break the news from his webblog (petertan.com). Way to go, Mack and Peter! (borrowing JeffOoi's hallmark cheering ...)
