I'm not a political person, but time after time the Malaysian government has been trying to wrap us up within the ignorance bubble and this time I really feel like sharing this with everyone to show the government that they work for the citizen and not themselves.
It has been reported in MalaysiaKini that the oh-so-famous MalaysiaToday has been blocked by all major Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Malaysia with Streamyx taking the front line being the first to do so. Hence all internet user who subscribe to Streamyx will not be able to access the MalaysiaToday website at www.malaysia-today.net at this moment.
However as expected of Raja Petra, there's always a workaround and that is a mirror link at http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008/.
Let's not allow the government to take away our freedom of speech and information, so spread the words of MalaysiaToday's alternate url at http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008/.

In the event that MCMC decides to further implement a full blocking of websites or blogs not friendly to UMNO/BN, the followings can be used as an effective way to circumvent internet censorship:
1. Accessing a mirror site
2. Using a non-censoring DNS-server
3. Using a non-censoring proxy server
1. Access a mirror site
For instance, Malaysia Today can still be accessed at this moment at http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com . Using mirror sites may not be effective as they may start blocking these sites too.
2. Using a non-censoring DNS-server
Change your DNS to OpenDNS server 208.67.222.222 or 208.67.220.220 .
Click http://www.opendns.com for more info on how to set DNS.
3. Using a non-censoring proxy server
(i) Proxy Sites
More effectively, this blocking can be circumvented by surfing through a proxy sites, such as:
http://proxychina.org
http://proxy4china.com
There are many proxy sites available, just google for them.
(ii) Proxy Tunnelling Software
Another better and most effective way to circumvent internet censor is by using Ultrasurf. It is developed by the people against internet censorship in China. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely while it automatically searches the highest speed proxy servers in the background.
Download Ultrasurf software from:
http://www.ultrareach.com
http://www.wujie.net/downloads/ultrasurf/u.zip
Then extract the file and run, that's it.
If you are using browser other than IE, then you have to manually change your proxy IP address to 127.0.0.1 with port :9666 .
(iii) TOR and TOR based browsers
For those who are more IT savvy, they can try TOR. TOR based browsers are also available, such as xb Browser and OperaTor. But TOR solution tends to give slower internet surfing experience.
Say NO to internet censorship.
Woo... u ppl are fast to spread the news. I likey... Quite detail and efficient as well.
