There wasn’t much advertising done to promote the Merdeka Blogger Project (MBP) this year especially by senior or already popular bloggers. I probably could start listing the excuses and assumptions of why the project isn’t so popular this year but I’ll not. I’d rather just like to say the project registration will still be open until the next Merdeka 2007 and bloggers can still celebrate the Merdeka message MBP is communicating this year.
The weird thing I’ve noticed is that everyone assumes the celebration of Merdeka is all about the history involved. It’s all about Mr.Tunku Abdul Rahman standing on a podium and lifting his hand a couple of times screaming the words, Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! The criteria of unity is one of the things to celebrate on Merdeka but haven’t you ever looked beyond that?
Did you know that Merdeka is also about the independence and the freedom gained? Isn’t blogging for yourself an indepence gained? Aren’t the statements you openly make on your blog the freedom you’re given?
The Merdeka Blogger Project this year wants bloggers to talk about their freedom and independence of blogging. We’d like to hear the experience Malaysian bloggers had and have blogging ever since they started.
It’s really easy to write and you may share your experience with others on the Merdeka Blogger Project. Some of the articles written by some Merdeka Bloggers:
So why not register as a Merdeka Blogger and tell the Malaysian blogosphere about your experience?
Do you think I am qualified to join Merdeka Blogger?
You do notice that the language is use in my blog is pretty colourful at times. :p
Sorry for the typo,
I mean the language used in my blog….
sometimes I type faster then I think.
hey jbbeng,
the merdeka blogger project isn’t about having the perfect English tense or verbs correctly. it’s about being a blogger and being able to express your experience freely in blogging. :)
so join the project and invite others to do so as well. ;)
