QUINTE @ MANOR
Heritage Row, 64, Jalan Doraisamy, KL

Guest headliner tonight - Marco Bailey (BE). Marco grew up in a small village in Belgium. Nothing much happened there really, but he did learn that one doesn?t achieve much without working hard.

He is a true hedonist but a workaholic as well. Marco loves to work hard and spin records as much as possible. At the age of 12, Marco wanted nothing more than to become a sportsman since motocross and competitive cycling were his passions until injuries made it impossible to continue and Marco soon had a new obsession - music, then shortly after that DJing, his burning, all-consuming drive could only be calmed by getting into music.

Having superstar status in Belgium, he travels the world playing the biggest events as well as the small intimate clubs.

His mixture of party techno, minimal and electronic house means he is a permanent fixture at all major European festivals and clubs.

Killer releases on Intec Records, Primate, Zync & Tortured, confirmed his strong reputation as a producer over the last eight years.

He has since set up MB Elektronics & MB Selektions to release high quality music and remixes by none other than Adam Beyer, Umek, Ben Sims, Smith & Selway, Claude Young, Christian Varela, Redhead, Axel Karakasis and Takaaki Itoh.

The night?s warm up and closing will be provided by Alex Martin and Kuma. Admission (with one drink). RM30 ladies / RM50 men. RSVP and Booking please contact Ezra Wong : 012-9784016

Bumper weekend ahead for clubbers

27-01-2012 21:09 Twitter has refined its technology to censor messages on a country-by-country basis, raising fears that the company's commitment to free speech may be weakening. (Jan. 27)

Activists and Bloggers Fear Twitter Censorship - Video

When student Nguyen Hong Nhung saw "Killer with a Festering Head" on someone's smartphone, she wanted the banned comic book too. Though Vietnam's censors had yanked it from stores, finding a digital copy wasn't exactly hard.

Nhung simply Googled the title, and with a few clicks was able to download a free bootleg copy of the book — a collection of one-panel cartoons illustrating the popular, sometimes-nonsensical rhyming phrases of Vietnamese youth slang.

Government censors had deemed some of the images violent or politically sensitive.

"The more the government tries to ban something, the more young people try to find out why," the 20-year-old said in the capital, Hanoi.

Vietnam's graying Communist Party is all about control: It censors all media, squashes protests and imprisons those who dare to speak out against its one-party system. But today, as iPhone shops rub shoulders with Buddhist pagodas, cultural authorities are finding it increasingly difficult to promote their unified sense of Vietnamese culture and identity — especially among the country's youth.

"This is a key turning point for the younger generation," said Thaveeporn Vasavakul, a Southeast Asia scholar who consults on public sector reform in Vietnam.

Vietnam's graying Communist Party is all about control: It censors all media, squashes protests and imprisons those who dare to speak out against its one-party system. Censors still review books, films and foreign newspapers for sensitive content while bureaucrats try to curb, with varying success, everything from online gaming to motorbike racing.

"Despite one-party rule you see pluralism in the cultural and political thinking. And the younger generation is standing there, looking around, and seeing a lot of options to choose from."

Propaganda posters and patriotic campaigns continue to urge young and old to emulate the ascetic lifestyle of the late President Ho Chi Minh. Censors still review books, films and foreign newspapers for sensitive content while bureaucrats try to curb — with varying success — everything from online gaming to motorbike racing.

Vietnamese youth of today are largely apolitical and chances of any mass uprisings remain remote for now, says Dang Hoang Giang, a senior researcher at the nonprofit Center for Community Support Development Studies.

However, the country's youth have a rich history of organizing and rising up, first to help overthrow the French colonialists and later to oust the Americans during the Vietnam War. Adding to Hanoi's jitters are last year's Arab Spring democracy movements that swept through North Africa and the Middle East, as well as growing protests among the poor in neighboring China.

Growing differences among Vietnam's generations worry its cultural authorities because "they are used to thinking that they have to be in the driver's seat," Giang said.

Although cultural bans have been watered down in recent years, the government's knee-jerk reaction is still to restrict youth behavior it perceives as a potential threat to the state's authority — even if such moves are ineffective.

But a 2009 ban on late-night online gaming hasn't stopped Vietnamese teens from patronizing Internet parlors where they sometimes play in the dark to avoid detection. Fines on motorbike racing have not deterred young violators, prompting police in northern Thanh Hoa province to snag speeders with fishing nets. Loose Facebook restrictions also do not prevent users from logging on to the popular U.S.-based social networking site.

The October ban of "Killer with a Festering Head" is another old-school censoring attempt that failed.

The rest is here:
Vietnam's Awakening Youth Circumvent Censorship

China, one of the world's largest Internet markets, could be out of reach of Facebook because of the Chinese government's strict censorship policies, the company said in its filing for an initial public offering (IPO).

The company however continues to "evaluate entering China".

Analysts do not expect conditions to get favourable soon for Facebook in China. The market, which already has popular homespun social networking sites, is also moving to Twitter-like microblogs.

"China is a large potential market for Facebook, but users are generally restricted from accessing Facebook from China," the filing said. "We do not know if we will be able to find an approach to managing content and information that will be acceptable to us and to the Chinese government."

Speculation on Facebook entering the Chinese market mounted in late 2010 when the company's CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited several major IT firms in the country. But to enter the country's market Facebook would have to abide by China's censorship laws, which force sites to delete content critical of the government. Besides Facebook, some other Internet sites like YouTube and Twitter are currently blocked in the country.

The Chinese government was always nervous about Facebook, said Bill Bishop, an independent analyst who watches the Chinese Internet market. Facebook's role last year as a forum for protestors to organise against governments in the Middle East and North Africa only cemented those concerns, he said.

"If Facebook wants to come to China, it would be great, but it's extremely unlikely to happen in the near or medium-term," Bishop added.

Facebook will also have to compete in a market already occupied by strong domestic players, said Mark Natkin, managing director for Marbridge Consulting. Some of these competitors include sites such as Renren, which features a user interface similar to Facebook, and had 137 million users as of September 30.

But many of China's Internet users are moving away from Renren and other Facebook-like social networking sites and instead flocking to Twitter-like microblogs operated by local Chinese companies. Chinese users of these Twitter-like microblogs have reached 250 million users, according to the China Internet Network Information Center.

"From a competitive standpoint, the market has already moved on," he added.

In spite of being blocked in the country, Facebook still has some users in China. Beijing resident Shi Beichen, a Facebook user since 2006, said he visits the site by connecting through a virtual private network (VPN), which allows him to view sites blocked by Chinese authorities.

One reason he uses Facebook is because the site is free of censorship. He also likes the site because it allows him to synchronise his different Internet applications such as Tumblr and Instapaper on to one platform through Facebook, he said.

"I think Facebook will enter China. Zuckerberg wants to come. But it will be extremely difficult," Shi said, noting China's censorship laws and the popularity of social networking sites already operating in the country. "Foreign Internet companies still don't quite understand the Chinese Internet market or its users' habits. Even if the companies don't involve themselves with sensitive topics, it will still be hard for them to succeed."
