The Asian Media & Mass Communication Conference 2010 Osaka, Japan
CONCLUSION
It was obvious that changes had taken places and this was done through the increase of use of Internet by
the public at large and further assisted by the networks of communication technology provided by the
government which later were used against them. In such circumstances phenome which existed in
Malaysia where new media was used as counter hegemony was not a foreign matter to other countries as
they were also using the same thing. If the government decided to control or trying to monitor the topic
discussed by blogger it usually would be regarded an act of serious contradiction, for the government of
Malaysia has assured that the use of Internet will not be controlled in this country. The development which
recently experienced by the government was indeed a great blow, nevertheless this should be accepted in
line with the current practice of democracy
