KUCHING: Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud has called on bloggers to play their part in protecting both state and national interests.
He pointed out bloggers have an important role to play in the face of the constant propaganda being churned out against the state and its development programmes.
“I’d love to see more bloggers who are not someone who repeat what the international people say. To me, bloggers are not a nuisance. They are part of our development to protect our interests. If you (bloggers) can do that, we are safe,” he said.
Taib said this during a dialogue with 50 youths comprising bloggers and fresh graduates in connection with the launching of lifestyle portal ouryouth.my recently.
The youths were given the chance to ask questions and interact with the Chief Minister during the almost two-hour long session.
Taib also shared his vision for the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) and human capital development strategies adopted for it.
He also advised the youths to treasure the unity of the many races in the state, stressing that Sarawak, which has a small and scattered population, cannot afford to be disunited.
Among those present were Assistant Ministers of Youth Development Datuk Dr Stephen Rundi and Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah and Angkatan Zaman Mansang (Azam) chief executive officer Datu Aloysius Dris.
