Malaysian tweeps all around the world of all race, religion and age got hooked into the hashtag #yourais so much that everyone was soon participating in what could seem to be an “orgy” of sorts. Friends and strangers alike pitched in their wit to form the best “quote” that best describes Rais’s fear for the social media tools, and soon, it became what we call a “Trending Topic“, as shown below.

To us Malaysians, it was an achievement of sorts, as it wasn’t an easy task to match up to other countries with giant populations such as our neighbours, the Indonesians. What more with a minister who does not support the use of social media in our lives commanding Information Communications of the country, no less.

As of 6.42pm the hashtag #yorais is the world’s 6th trending topic, only three below #Haiti, a world re-known phenomenon. In a mere half an hour, it got to 4th place as shown in the pic above. Just imagine the sort of interest this would place us at an international level, a blunder that would shame us as social media believers in the face of the planet.
