An interesting article written by Dinesh Nair about "how the Internet can influence a political election":http://www.alphaque.com/article.php?sid=321.
Worth a read. What i do wonder about is the older generation that don't use the Internet. While the Internet can be empowering for some, it also serves as an agent of disenfranchisement - if you're not online, you're out-of-line.
That's why i think the battle of Malaysian politics will still be won or lost in the media and the pulpit. While the Internet can reach the tech-savvy, there just isn't enough of us to make a real difference at this point. I reckon a generation needs to pass before this reality will change.
