THE negative perception about bloggers and blogging should be changed, said Centre for Policy Initiatives chief executive officer Dr Lim Teck Ghee. Dr Lim said blogging could be seen as an alternative media to the masses. “It provides a platform for public discourse irrespective of their background. The notion that bloggers mainly have negative intentions including bringing down the government and destroying the country's racial harmony is an erroneous view and politically motivated,” he said. He added that most bloggers were concerned about the nation. “Having a healthy public discourse will help unify the nation and build the country as well,” he added.Therefore, the Centre for Policy Initiatives is organising a half-day public discourse at Lake View Club, Subang Jaya, on May 1.
