Malaysia Is Against Curbs On Internet Debate

   KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Censoring Internet access will not solve
   concerns over privacy and individual freedom in cyberspace, Malaysia's
   Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.
   
   "Censoring the Internet is not the solution. Simply closing our
   doors will not only hurt us but push us back in the race for growth
   and prosperity," he said in a speech at the launching of the
   Internet World '96 conference
   (http:/www.asiaconnect.com.my/asia-internet/)
   
   Countries concerned with such issues should instead utilize the
   Internet to reinforce social responsibility, he added. "Let us
   not forget that an informed citizenry is also a responsible
   citizenry," Anwar said.

He's got good ppl advicing him. Basically, these guys even surprised me, 
being in malaysia and all that. but his stand on the matter as well as 
the PM's is pretty good on this. now, the information minister is a 
different kettle of fish altogether, but he'll seccede to the PM's wishes 
anyway.
