The Malaysian government is stepping up its clampdown on bloggers. Within a time period of three days, a blogger was investigated for publishing a photomontage, and another blogger was remanded by the police for four days over a comment posted on his blog. On the same day that the blogger, Nathaniel Tan was remanded, the deputy internal security minister Johari Baharum reportedly said that he had asked police to initiate investigations against writers who were "spreading lies through websites". The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) condemns the deputy Internal Security Minister, Johari Baharum's instruction to investigate bloggers. This order breaches the Federal Constitution's protection for freedom of expression.
