联邦高官总是将感恩论挂在口边，拨款之后就要求人民感恩，卡立（右图）评论这种态度：“联邦（政府）当那是他爸爸的钱，不是，这是我尝试改变的，事实上，不是你给的，你只是一名执行人。”
上述活动是在吉隆坡Maju Junction一家餐馆举行，共有大约50名部落客购券出席。
I am honoured to be asked to deliver the keynote speech at Bloggers Universe Malaysia 2011.
In Malaysia, bloggers have been engaged in a battle to correct the spinning and political bias which has become part of the normal business and deep culture of the media. Since Independence, the majority of the media has been a willing partner in the Barisan Nasional’s one overriding pursuit: that of self-promotion, self aggrandizement and opportunism. In the process, the old media has contributed to the corruption, injustice and bad governance that are the hallmarks of BN rule, especially during Dr Mahathir’s administration and continuing today.
