It is used as a newsletter by UMNO and worth nothing more than a toilet paper. Wonder why this shitty paper's licensed is not cancelled and its editors put in prison or ISA. Should have done that long long ago . This crappy paper has been doing this as long I can remember!equaliserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758589427993711342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-71230852697256368462008-09-30T10:45:00.000+08:002008-09-30T10:45:00.000+08:00Charles, thanks for showing Baradan's reply.

I take his personal stand on the reform agenda and that is comforting. I do like some of his piece and do note that some of his other pieces are more favourable to the ruling party. All said and done, he is a profesional and it is good to have him speaking on personal level and his underlying principles. Everybody is watching each other nowadays.amokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796429650849780970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-52019139733537396492008-09-30T09:57:00.000+08:002008-09-30T09:57:00.000+08:00While his reply seems to be fair, there is no doub...While his reply seems to be fair, there is no doubt that his articles are very anti-opposition and pro government. They are not balanced and the bias is very obvious making his articles non credible. I for one no longer read them as they do not provide a balanced view. I only read them once in a while to see if the tilt has gotten worse.<BR/><BR/>Having said this, there is no cause for calling names or banning any writings as we must have freedom of speech. If there is some slander etc, there is the civil law that you can call upon. We as a society must open our vista's and learn to be matured to accept criticism and use civilized means to pursue slander or any wrongs committed by individuals or corporates. Banning, using draconian laws such as ISA etc is just the wrong thing to do. You are simply bottling discontent and one day the bubble will burst, I think we already see that effect now in Malaysia.<BR/><BR/>All said and done I still feel that journalist must provide a balanced view as the public rely on their reporting, not everyone is so exposed or learned to be able to differentiate between a fair and biased report, some take it at face value. So journalist all all who chose to write and opinionate must do it with a conscience and be prepared to answer to your Maker.<BR/><BR/>To this fellow, I urge him to change and remember that we will all meet our Maker one day.MYbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475679484837027312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-86852954395062289812008-09-30T02:55:00.000+08:002008-09-30T02:55:00.000+08:00People are entitled to their respective opinions. ...People are entitled to their respective opinions. Fine. As Baradhan, Anwar too is entitled to his own opinion. In this case Baradhan has clarified his position, which I think we should accept in good faith.<BR/><BR/>As far as Utusan is concerned i beg to differ from you. Utusan Malaysia has deviated from media ethics by publishing lies and promoting bigotry in the country. Therefore it is a right decision to bar the Utusan group that is all out to create unrest among races.<BR/><BR/>http://malaysianaffairs.blogspot.comjrajsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160039667712528682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-63722938154014107462008-09-30T02:18:00.000+08:002008-09-30T02:18:00.000+08:00I fully support PKR`s ban of the racist Utusan Mal...I fully support PKR`s ban of the racist Utusan Malaysia.

The argument at Susan's blog says it all and I need not argue on it any further.<BR/><BR/>On this posting, I agree also that there should be no media banned from any press/media conference. But in the case of Utusan it is very obvious that they have cross the line to the extend that it can create more tension between races. If any other press were to have done what Utusan did, they will be in cold storage by now. It's not the reporter or journalist fault but the management who uses their reports and spin them into something totally different from the original statement or they just get a one sided view to attack in a race hate manner. The example is very clear on the azan, prison dog food and lately on the dressing upon visiting the mosque.<BR/><BR/>Don't you find it dangerous to allow them to continue the way they run their reports and the government is not doing anything about it.<BR/><BR/>We the rakyat have to judge and be more attentive on all the news paper reports because they are beholden to umno/government control and as you know very well, when they are in the wrong it's fine, no action but when other races speak out they show their fangs through Utusan and maybe other news media as well.<BR/><BR/>So, in the case of Utusan, I myself think that they must be shut down totally but it just a dream. I bet you, they will get bolder each day if the government does not issue them any warning.Richard Lohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149067989553112548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-86750603175002103422008-09-30T01:11:00.000+08:002008-09-30T01:11:00.000+08:00A fair comment.Will feature your post in our websi...A fair comment.<BR/><BR/>Will feature your post in our website http://mylivingwall.com for our readers info and link back to your blog.<BR/><BR/>All the best.<BR/><BR/>mylivingwall.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
