Malaysia BOLEH!

First they came for the non-gov. newspaper, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a journalist;
Then they came for the established scholars, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a scholar;
Then they came for the renowned bloggers, and I did not speak out--
because I was not renowned;
Then they came for the average bloggers, and I did not speak out--
because I had quit blogging;
Then they came for the blog-commenters, and I did not speak out--
because I had quit commenting;
Then they invaded internet-users' privacy, and I did not speak out--
because I was not affected;
Then they came for me--
I had lost my ability(freedom) to speak
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
