Malaysian students abroad cautioned

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi warned Malaysian students abroad on Sunday to beware
of foreigners, the official Bernama news agency reported.

The report said Abdullah expressed regret some students were
being "used" by foreigners to criticize the government through
the Internet.

"Some of the websites operate from overseas like the United
States, London, Paris and all over the place, possibly using
Malaysian students and sponsoring them," he was quoted as telling
reporters in the northern city of Penang.

Ibrahim Ali, deputy minister in the prime minister's
department, reportedly said the ruling party had come across
3,000 "lies" in the past two months on areas such as the
independence of the Malaysian judiciary to the role of the
attorney general.
