10. Greetings, Malaysia, We have seen the censorship taken by the Malaysian
government, blocking sites like The Pirate Bay, and WikiLeaks. Malaysia is one of the
world’s strictest governments, even blocking out movies, and television shows. These
acts of censorship are inexcusable. You are taking away a basic human right. The
internet is here for freedom, without fear of government interference. Do not think
that no one else notices. Your structured government has done the talking, and we
hear loud and clear. Let this be an announcement to all your people. This is a sign, a
warning, and an opportunity to listen to ideas above your own. In a way you are
being stubborn. But how will this help anyone or your country. We fear that if you
make further decisions to take away human freedom. We are obligated to act fast
and have no mercy. For rules were meant to be broken. And corruption was meant to
be washed away and forgiven. Now we will wash your corruption away so be
prepared. Take this as a favor.
We are Anonymous.
