[...] Admittedly, this handbook excites me as it comes out so much timely, moreover to the latest mishap over the Malaysia’s blogosphere due to a very ungrateful bugger who tried to diminish bloggers reputation, which were reported here, here and here. I would like to quote what Julien Pain, Head of the Internet Freedom desk at RSF said on the topic Bloggers, the new heralds of free expression. Bloggers need to be anonymous when they are putting out information that risks their safety. The cyber-police are watching and have become expert at tracking down “troublemakers.” While we Malaysians in general still enjoy the very least of freedom of expression on internet, let’s not spoilt the credibility of the growing blogosphere, much to satisfy one’s own agenda.

To Goombie:

From what I heard about the Malaysian police, they probably can. All you really need is his IP address, which I think was furnished. If they can get their hands on his computer, even if he deleted the files, you can still retrieve the data from as the records will be there SOMEWHERE. You can still retrieve data even if you reformat your comp. It is, however, expensive.

To CLF:

Our police works on media pressure. ‘Nuff said.

To Peter:

Thank you for the update.
