URL blocking in Malaysia? But why through Saudi Arabia?

This entry was posted on Apr 08 2008

I checked RedesignMalaysia.com and found it’s latest post about Malaysia blocked access to a blog by a Malaysian called The Datin Diaries’s blog, i don’t know what this blog is all about, but from the title and URL itself, i don’t think it got something offended content till this blog should be blocked. Do you know this blog? or you ever read it before this?

I quoted the message at this blog, anyhow its quite confusing. :roll:

Ok, now the question is, why the blog blocked by Saudi Arabia ISP? Isn’t it should be by TM or TIME or whatever ISP in Malaysia? O..I got confused already, what does it means? Is Malaysia’s internet service was provided through Saudi Arabia line or what? :roll:

Or is it just a joke by the blog owner?I know April Fool day already passed, Or this blog was hacked??!Lols.. this just a blog, no point to hack. btw, the link was checked and the link is true and work. Is it true that this blog was blocked by err… by who actually? Malaysia or Saudi Arabia? If Saudi Arabia, why i also got the message? isn’t you can’t access certain blog if you access it from the country that blocked that website/blog? So does it means i’m now in Saudi Arabia?LOLS… because i can’t access a blog that was blocked by Saudi Arabia ISP?*confusing*

    Not just in Malaysia. It happens to me as well (Ireland). I think it affects worldwide. Tapi macam mana kerajaan Saudi boleh buat sampai rakyat negara lain pun kena penangan censorship tu?

    Psst, Internet Archive is our friend when it comes to web history:

    However, when I skimmed through content of that blog, it just a normal diary written by a Datin. Maybe Saudi government thinks it is very unacceptable for a Muslim woman to write something very personal about her like that.

    Ive frequented that particular blog a year ago. Its just a normal blog written a writer calling herself Datin (im not sure shes truly a datin or not). And this is my first time hearing that a government can actually block a particular website.

    I belive this is a Virus. I am also getting the same problem with so many other sites.

    Also my normal google.com is pointing me to http://www.google.sa and everything is coming up as in Arabic
