KURUP LASHES OUT AT BLOGGERS WITH NEGATIVE OUTLOOK

KENINGAU, June 1 (Bernama) -- Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) president Tan Sri Joseph Kurup has criticised certain bloggers who continue to use the blogs as a platform to instill hatred against the government.

He said it was saddening that some of these bloggers were educated and had received assistance from the government including scholarship for further studies.

"For example, there are blogs in the interior areas that accuse the government of not bringing development to the people, but at the same time, the bloggers are enjoying the facilities and infrastructure provided by the government.

"In fact, some of them are in government service. These people are ungrateful. Their intention is merely to instill hatred and create enmity between the people and government," he said at a function in Kampong Bombay, here today.

Kurup, who is also the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, said the blogs should be utilised to create a community of quality through constructive writing.
