Of The UK Phone Hacking Scandal

Saw a little bit of the meeting between the MPs of Britain with the people supposedly involved with the phone hacking scandal.
Rupert Murdoch made a statement during the hearing that it was the most humbling day ever to him.

Poor knackered old goat.

But it raises a question, does he really know about the phone hacking, tapping or whatever you wanna call it, in the first place.
Some events can happen unbeknownst to the superiors of a lower positioned worker.
But, Rupert must know, its printed on the defunct News of The World newspaper.

And this raises a question:
"Does this happen here in Malaysia?"

Now, I'm not pointing fingers to any party,
but still it is a question thats popped in mind after this scandal had happened in the UK.
I know a few countries do listen to the coversations of its citizen over the phone.
But they say, it for national security purposes.
But they, whatever works for them.

For me, its feels like an infringement of privacy, which it actually is.
Just imagine, you are having phone sex with with your partner, and you hear another person say:
"OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!"
It will freak you the fucking out, right?

But the victims in the UK scandal have more than people hearing their phone sex conversation to worry about.
And this serves as a warning to Malaysians;
STOP HACKING THINGS YOU BLOODY BASTARDS!
