HW 11: Making Global Voices Heard

I looked at Jeff Ooi's Blog (http://jeffooi.com) which interested me because his website is said to have become popular because he dares to criticize the Malaysian government. Ooi talks about how the Malaysian government does not listen to the citizens concerns about the way the media works. Jeff Ooi's blog is written in a an almost note type of blog, instead of writing out paragraphs and stories, he states basic points about things that he thinks is important. In the interview, MacKinnon states that he questions and bash on how the Malaysian governments ignores the thoughts and concerns of its own community. Of course many others will probably disagree with the assertion that Jeff Ooi's blog is different then what it is said to be. To me, his blog seemed to talk about many different topics, however government regardless about the Malaysian was not a very big subject in his recent posts. People that disagree with my previous allegation, may say that he writes about many issues going on in the world that are a cause and effect type of thing although the blog may not have to do with the immediate Malaysian government, or any of government for that fact. Nevertheless, both followers and critics of Jeff Ooi will probably suggest that regardless if he talks directly about issues with the government that everything he talks about can make a difference in the world because if people are being persuaded by what he is saying then they can make a different to their government personally then by Ooi trying to do it over a blog.
