Should all politicians be on twitter?

Twitter demands deep consideration due to its uncompromising rule for economy of words, sentences need to be crafted with great care to convey the correct tone and manner, as well as meaning within 140 characters.

Politicans are not economical with their words, they can go on and on for hours without ever getting to the point but now they find themselves having to master the art of spamming millions of voters with just 140 keystroke and they have to do it regularly.

Some say younger politicians would thrive in this new environment but I think that older hands can have a better place if they can draw deep from their well of experience and distill wise words for the constituency.

Wait a minute, we are talking about politicians here....

oh well, below is a piece in the Sun on the subject  

Setpol ADUN Bagan hina kaum India???

Leong Yook Kong, Setiausaha Politik YB Thanasekaran, ADUN DAP Bagan dalam akaun twitternya telah menghina kaum India dengan ibaratkan mereka dengan ular.

Beliau yang sebelum ini pernah melakukan sedemikian kali ini dengan terus terang menghina  kaum India dilaman twitternya. Jika dilihat dengan baik, beliau sering menggunakan kata-kata kesat terhadap kebanyakkan orang yang beliau tidak sukai seperti yang tentera di gambar atas.
