Malaysia: Government hypocrisy still rampant, but then again what else is new...
although i think malaysia's response to the entire cartoon controversy was childish and silly, i wouldn't call the government's reaction hypocrisy. i think the government has made it clear that freedom of speech is limited, unless of course you're ex-PM Mahathir, then you can make sweeping anti-Semitic statements.
