Malaysia Today, the hard-hitting news website edited by Raja Petra Kamarudin, has been blocked by mysterious technical problems twice in the last 24 hours after publishing damning articles of deep corruption in the government.
One implicated Umno in looting MAS, the country's flag carrier while another alleged that a friend of Prime Minister Najib Razak was attempting to steer RM200 million into the pockets of Najib's family from China Railways Engineering Corporation (CREC), for double-tracking the national railway.
Raja Petra said in an email from London, where he now lives, "We are under severe attack. We've been down for the last 12 hours and a day before that for 24 hours. Looks like someone is spending a lot of money to keep us off the air. It was the MAS story. The site was brought down just a few hours after that. We revealed documents to and from the court to compromise the MAS case against Tajudin Ramli."
While it wasn't clear who was doing the blocking, whoever it is must be learning that the Internet is a sieve The offending stories almost immediately appeared in another anonymous blog called 'Malaysians Must Know The Truth'.
