As reported by Nathaniel Tan

incoming prime minister and Umno president Najib Abdul Razak said the new media cannot be regarded as an adversary.
“We were lulled by the massive mandate given to us to the extent that we made no preparations for battle within the cybersphere. In the end, we were rudely awakened in 2008 when we suddenly realised the folly of not understanding the power of the new media,” he added.
Like it or not, Najib said: “We cannot regard the new media as our enemy.”

Umno banned almost all online media from covering their assembly.
