BEING CONTROLLED FOR GOOD

You see , when I'm talking about being controlled by someone for everyone's sake , I really mean it . In this modern era , it is a fairly common sight to see the Generation Y ( Youth ) are becoming more vocal and are aware of their rights as a citizen . As a result , many political parties are setting up youth wings in order to attract the youths to join their party .

Our country , Malaysia who had been a staunch practitioner of democratic values , had provided various channel and oppurtunities for youths to express their desires . Among the channels which are provided to this group is the Internet . As you can see , under the Malaysia ' s rule and regulation concerning the Internet and social medias , all of us , Malaysians are given the freedom to set up blogsite , social media pages ( FB ) dedicated for a cause , and also access to a certain amount of government datas eg consensus , explanation regarding the rules and regulations which had been approved by the Cabinet and Parliament .

It is heartening to see that many of the youths are taking active part in democracy  process  as enshrined in the Constituition . However , I can also see the trend that certain youths thinked that the Government are not doing good enough . They want more "freedom" , which translates into absolute total freedom to gain easy access into certain information which are deemed confidential by the LAW. This includes national security , intelligence , strategic assets and so on . I'm not saying that I sided with the government , but I think that the concept of " absolute freedom " shall never be allowed to exist in our country's democracy .

Their stand on this concept , I suspect , is directly linked to certain move by the opposition parties who tried to prove themselves as the " CHAMPION " of Malaysian issue when their real intention is to expose Malaysia 's confidential secrets to foreign countries who are interested in Malaysia . Once the strategic assets and weakness of Malaysia are exposed , the whole nation will be vulnerable to subversive attacks .
As for these opposition parties , they may not foresee the negative consequences of their action . All they see is  instant political mileage , fame and fortune .

These negative outcomes are the only reasons why the Government had to impose ban and off-limit access to certain strategic , important datas in which the exposure can lead to the national security being compromised down to its core . Some secrets are meant to be kept in vaults , dont you think so ?
