Not a major reason

[updated at 17:00 / 26 March 2008] Pak Lah has admitted that BN lost the war -through the cyber world - to the opposition coalition. He had originally assumed that the government will be able to convey their messages through the umno controlled main stream and electronic media. The main reason why people moved to alternative media was due to the extreme bias of the main stream and electronic media. The print and electronic media is completely under the control of umno and they were only willing to air the non sensical propaganda messages of the government rather than news that can develop the Malaysian mentality. The power of internet created an opportunity for Barisan Rakyat to reach the grass roots and they conveyed their message effectively; on what they can do to bring in a new hope for the country. Rational thinkers believed that to discipline umno@bn they needed to take aggressive action by voting out umno@bn in the general elections and that's what happened on March 8 2008. On top of that we must not forget Pak Lah's in-ability to walk his talk which was the major reason for umno@bn's poor performance and not because umno did not run the cyber war. My grandmother used to say that incapable dancers will find ways to blame other components such as the level of stage, so that he/she can hide their own weaknesses. That's exactly what Pak Lah is doing.
