Anti-Malaysia fever migrates to Internet

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 – While anti-Malaysia protests in Indonesia have subsided on the streets, angry Indonesians are still taking to the Internet to express their anger against their neighbours.
Hundreds of thousands of netizens have joined groups such as Anti-Malaysia (Malingsia) and Ganyang Malaysia on social networking site Facebook.
One of the biggest, Anti-Malaysia (Malingsia), boasts more than 318,000 members, and its “wall” features an image of a skeleton in the middle of a disfigured Malaysian flag.
“Ganyang” means “crush” and “maling” means “steal” in Malay, a reference to Indonesians’ belief that Malaysia has been adopting as its own what they see as Indonesian culture and heritage.
