In the Syariah Law, guys and girls cannot touch one another unless they are married. Failure to do so will bring you punishment by law enforcers. This Law applies to other intimate actions such as kissing among girls and girls and guys and guys. The Malaysian Religious Affairs Department has a kink to spend their resources on arresting these activities. Reports has shown the Department to intrude upon a person's home to check for these illicit activities. They normally do so without warrants; something which is beyond the police's authority. Statistics has shown these warrentless manueverings are affecting tourism as westerners also are targets of the Religious Affairs. I suspect this is due to the curiousity of how a naked westerner would look like by rural folks.
However, a few days ago http://www.gutteruncensored.com/ (Warning:NSFW), uploaded pictures of sons of politicians from the Malaysia Government engaging in these khalwat activities. The Religious Affairs Department suddenly lost their interest of going after famous people. I can't imagine anyone more popular than the sons of our incoming Prime Minister as well as the Minister in the Prime Ministers Department. In fact these kids might even lead Malaysia some day. Google then decided to block access to the website. It took a few days for the owners to restore the site but was blocked repeatedly. In response, the owners of the site decided to publish the photos of the dad, who is the Minister of the Prime Ministers Department, having sex with an unknown lady. Google then decided to shut down the site 4 more times and still counting.
Last year, another huge scandal took place in Asia. Edisen Chen, a popular popstar from Hong Kong, got his laptop hacked and pictures of his sex life were released. Careers were destroyed. Daughters and wives of prominent elites in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, and Japan were among those who participated in his sex life. Even the Hong Kong triads put a hit of USD50,000 for one of Edisen's hand. Edisen is now in Canada and has refuse to return to Hong Kong. The elites tried to close down gutterspot by threatening lawsuits. The 1st Amendment protected the site. For this Malaysian scandal, Google somehow chose to aid those corrupted politicians by censoring free press. I wonder how much financial incentives are involve for Google to forget about the 1st Amendment.
I started using google when i found out that they defied the Justice Department's request of of turning in user records. All the other search engines complied with the request but Google. Google even decided to fight the case in Court. That convinced me to ditch Explorer for Chrome the moment Chrome came out. I believe in what Google stands for. Apparently Google has forgetten that Malaysians are one of the most internet savvy users on Earth and have the largest number of people surfing the net in South East Asia. I certainly do hope that Google will uphold the 1st Amendment by allowing the public to expose corrupt politicians from 3rd world countries. These politicians that Google is protecting are not only extremely corrupt, but also murderers. That scandal will be for another time.
