【庄迪澎】摘要:过去许多亚洲国家的统治集团严密规管传统媒体,令其成为国家意识形态机器,异议分子只能经由可能被界定为“非法”,或“合法”但触达范围有限的异议书刊传达意见,但此局面已随着电脑与互联网的普及而发生了变化。本文以挑战国家的舆论与媒体规管效率、促进舆论多元的角度,梳理互联网促进马来西亚民主化之贡献,亦剖析马来西亚的经济与政治的变迁,如何催化民众对互联网的使用,同时引发国家机关对互联网构成的“威胁”展开反扑。

The Internet-driven democratization and counter-attacks by the State: The experience of Malaysian online media

[CHANG Teck Peng] Abstract: Traditional mainstream media in many Asian countries have been forced to function as ideological state apparatus under the tight control by authoritarian regimes and dissidents could only voice out their views via the so-called “illegal” publications or “legal” publications with limited circulations.  Thanks to the widespread use of computers and Internet, the State can no longer dominate over the marketplace of ideas now.  This paper analyses the role and contribution of Internet in the democratization of Malaysia from the perspectives of challenging the effectiveness of regulation by the State over the mass media and promoting pluralism in public opinion.  It also discusses how the economic and political changes have catalyzed the use of Internet by the masses and at the same time prompted the State to launch counter-attacks against the perceived “threats” posed by the new media.
