Cyber friends

The ideal case...

Ages ago I realized that we got to move with the times and make friends in cyber space. It is no longer practical to have only one type of [friends]. Those that we can meet face to face is good; but there are also [friends] we can make on the world wide web who we may have little chance to meet except on line.

In many ways these [cyber friends] are more convenient, especially when we are house bound and cannot realistically travel all over the world any more. The ideal case is of course a friend whom we know once upon a time and can now contact daily on the keyboard.

We can actually have the best of both worlds by starting a group on FB and put all our relatives and friends there and [chat] every day with people who have something in common with us. For me this is OS.

A FaceBook group, OS

I was kicked out of a Face Book group, MOTP because I mentioned religion and Islam in my comments. Religion and politics were taboo subjects. The admin was Irene Yong. She felt bad because I knew her personally. She reinstated me a week later, after consultation with her IT expert; but the damage was done. I became determined to have freedom of expression on the web. So I started a new group of my own, named Overseas Malaysians. The name later changed to Overseas Sarawakians.
