In objection with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) decision to block Malaysia Today, here’s the alternative link to the website: http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008/

I really hope this won’t be a trend in Malaysia or else we will end up like China. Anyway, there’s really no point in this simple blocking, there’s so many other ways to access a website (or anything) on the internet.

One good way is to replace your current DNS with OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com/). It is as easy as going to your TCP/IP settings (on Windows XP) and changing the DNS addresses there. Or if you want a more permanent method on your local network, you can change the DNS addresses on the router itself (most likely in the WAN settings page).

Besides offering faster DNS lookup times, they also have typo correction and adult site filtering. Just go check the website out.
