[edit] Internet Censorship

[edit] Wikipedia?

Certain pages on Malayasian subjects were recently discovered to be inaccessable from at least one ISP (singnet.com.sg).

• Wikipedia:Malaysian_Malaysia
• Wikipedia:People's_Progressive_Party_(Malaysia)
• Wikipedia:Social_contract_(Malaysia)
• Wikipedia:Malaysia-Singapore_Airlines

Notes:

1. The page can be viewed by changing the url slightly: such as encoding a few characters in hexidecimal, or using the history to find an oldid, or using a google cache. The same pages with the same content are also not inaccessable on other wikis, making this seem suspiciously targeted if it is indeed censorship.
2. These return a connection timeout or blank page. This is in contrast to other blocked internet sites, such as pornography, which will return a message such as "The site you requested is not accessible. For more information please check with the Media Development Authority."
