Popular writer-singer is Vietnam's Bob Dylan

Article Abstract:

Vietnamese singer-songwriter Trinh Cong Son achieved fame as a writer of anti-war ballads during the Vietnam War. Son, now 54 years old, was born in Hue, began writing songs in 1959 but switched to anti-war songs in 1965 after evading the draft in South Vietnam. Since then Son has written about 600 songs many of which remain very popular among the Vietnamese including immigrant populations. After the Communist victory in 1975 he began to concentrate on love songs and other apolitical subjects. He declines to immigrate although he disapproves of the Communist government.

Policing cyberspace

Article Abstract:

Some Internet users in Malaysia have expressed concern about the possibility of electronic mail activity being subject to government monitoring. This follows the arrest of three people under the Internal Security Act after electronic mail messages and Internet discussion groups were used to spread rumours about race riots in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There are fears that people will be unwilling to use electronic mail if they feel that it is being monitored. This would in turn have a negative impact on the growth of information technology in Malaysia.
