Tun Dr Mahathir also a blogger now

Before the 12th general election on 8th March 2008, Malaysian government warned its citizens not to listen to bloggers and even called them as liars. But after the political tsunami, with Barisan National (BN) suffering its biggest setback in history, bloggers such as Jeff Ooi and Tony Phua from Democratic Action Party (DAP) have become heroes. The value of bloggers have also gone up more than hundred times. The perception towards bloggers as liars has also changed. Many including BN politicians such as Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo and Mohd Ali Rustam have began to realise that blogging is the best way to reach out to people in this information age and started to jump onto bloggers bandwagon. What more interesting is that Tun Dr Mahathir, former Prime Minister of Malaysia has also joined fellow bloggers in cyberspace at http://www.chedet.com to publish his thoughts and comments. His blog which published in english has received overwhelming response.
