Some people get cheap thrill and entertainment by posting lies and rumors on the social media. They are happy with such an 'amusement'.
And just because the government has been so 'flexible' in dealing with such acts, they got new excitement.
Latest, Bukit Aman became the victim when some FB 'posers' posted about a suicidal attacks on the police headquarters today, resulting in 'many policemen dead and injured'!
A Christmas joke? The police must investigate and reprimand those involved. If no strict law is imposed on such nasty activity, soon we would read too much lies such as 'KLCC crumbles' or 'PM and Rosmah divorce' or 'Nora Danish marries blogger Husin Lempoyang'.
However, all these happen when one two people set the precedent. Bersih was one of it!
Only if the Internal Security Act (ISA) is still around...
