Bye Bye Sang Kelembai, The Blogger Who Got The Sack

Blogger Zaharin Yassin who blog under the nickname of Sang Kelembai, has been sacked from Umno for criticising party leadership through his blog.

Zaharin should be counted as among the gentlemen bloggers -- those who blog using their real names for although he uses the nick of Sang Kelembai, he has also displayed his real name and picture in the biodata section of his blog. That's why they managed to get him.

In short, he is far from being the sniper, or bloggers who hide and shoot behind anonymity.

Bernama has the story, translation are mine:

Penulis Blog 'Sang Kelembai' Zaharin Yassin Dipecat Dari Umno

Penulis blog "Sang Kelembai", Zaharin Yassin, yang juga bekas setiausaha Umno Bahagian Bandar Tun Razak, dipecat daripada Umno kerana menulis artikel dalam webnya yang mengkritik kepimpinan parti, kata Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hari Khamis.

Perdana Menteri berkata Majlis Tertinggi (MT) Umno yang bermesyuarat di sini, membuat keputusan sebulat suara memecat Zaharin sebagai anggota parti selepas meneliti laporan Jawatankuasa Pengurusan dan Lembaga Disiplin Umno.

That's the price of shooting and not hiding thereafter. As for me, I'll be the sniper for while. Shooting every now and then, although not as regular as other snipers.
