The blogging community was taken aback by the arrest of PKR's staff, Nathaniel Tan on Friday July 13. Tan, who is himself a prominent blogger, (http://jelas.info) was taken by police from the cyber crimes unit and is now remanded for four days which expires Tuesday July 17.
However, if the authorities thought that Tan's detention will cower them, it has the opposite effect. We speak to three prominent bloggers for the feelings.
