Anwar should set up his own blog now

As veteran journalist and former editor-in-chief of Utusan Melayu Said Zahari has observed in the manuscript of his second memoir, the editors of the Malay- and English-language mainstream media seem to have conspired to completely black out news of former DPM Anwar Ibrahim's activities and statements, inside and outside the country, since he was freed on 2 September 2004.

It seems that it is time for Anwar to set up his own blog to publish his own full-text statements and speeches as well as photographs of his activities, both inside and outside the country, so that he can regain the political and intellectual initiative by keeping mental contact or interactivity with the people, especially those in the sociological category of urban non-Muslim middle classes who do not usually attend political rallies or party activities.

The society and people now certainly need some new and serious ideas to rejuvenate the minds for paradigmatic shift and quantum leap in the country's political economy.
