<P>Bloggers in Malaysia describe Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery 
Cheek's willingness to meet them as a recognition of the role played by the 
cyber community in shaping public opinion in the country.&nbsp;
<P>Yasser Arafat Ishak, or better known as Jiwarasa among the cyber community, 
said Ahmad Shabery’s willingness to listen to the views of this community 
augured well for the country’s development.&nbsp;
<P>He said the willingness also enabled the government to understand the role of 
the community in analysing current issues that were of interest to the 
multiracial society in the country.&nbsp;
<P>He was speaking to Bernama after a discussion session “Writers and Blogs: The 
Current Trend”, organised by the Malay Documentation Centre, Dewan Bahasa dan 
Pustaka (DBP) at the DBP here yesterday.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/75B5E555-92A0-4492-97BE-D88DD959DDC2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
