  • Canon and Vimeo are attempting a video-equivalent of a Twitter novel. What probably excites me most is the fact that these short films – or the first one at least – will be shot on Canon SLRs, in HD.

At the end of last week, our Information and Technology Minister, Datuk Rais Yatim, decided to warn the entire nation against the use of Twitter, Facebook and the Internet in general.

By Johanan Sen

At the end of last week, our Information and Technology Minister, Datuk Rais Yatim, decided to warn the entire nation against the use of Twitter, Facebook and the Internet in general, stating that the tech was eroding our culture. Read all about it.

It was funny to Malaysians how out of touch our IT minister was and how far the ruling party was willing to go to put a stop to the use of tech that had mobilized the opposition movement and given voice to descent.

In response the Twitterverse lit up with #yorais posts, making potent satire out of pure idiocy. Gotta love it!

It’s died down a bit but check out what’s been posted target=”_blank”. I’m proud to be Malaysian!

My Favourite #yorais tweet:
RT @mikeyvoon: #yorais is so out of touch. He wants to ban ALAMAK! He thinks it’s Western for Mother of God.
