[MarrickG]

KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA has set up a special unit has been set up to look out for Internet postings that can ignite racial tension and cause disunity.

Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the ministry would gather the expertise of its enforcement unit, the police, A-G's Chamber and the judiciary to look into such cases.

The move comes as several groups, such as the Selangor Federation of Peninsular Malay Students, Gagasan Pendidikan Melayu Malaysia and Perkasa lodged a police report on Wednesdady against a page on the Facebook that insulted Malay sensitivities.

Hishammuddin added that there were certain parties that wanted to raise these sensitive issues to create hatred and disunity among the people.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Najib Razak said the public could trust the mainstream media as its reporting was based on facts unlike the alternative media. He said some of the articles published in the alternative media such as online portals and blogs were 'half truths and inaccurate'.

'The mainstream media has one strength which cannot be found in the alternative media - they are fact-based. If we read the mainstream media, intuitively we regard it as an authoritative report whose facts cannot be questioned,' he said at a breaking-of-fast ceremony at the New Straits Times Press office on Thursday.

'Its principles are based on facts, as compared to blogs which are personal, usually a one-man show and opinion-based. There must be a discerning public who can see the strength of the mainstream media.' -- THE STAR
