'wow' Utusan Malaysia

In lectures, I learn that media must be objective, tell nothing but only the truth, neutral, independent, be responsible on their reports, quote from the credible sources, clarify and verify the information.

Now, it's just a rhetoric from what Utusan Malaysia is doing. Utusan has ruined the professionalism of Journalism and caused more harm than good to the society. It is giving false information as well. For me, there's no more accountability and reliability in Utusan Malaysia's reporting.

The Barisan Nasional Government  is not going take action on them because it's their political tool.

Funny thing is when stupid media make stupid statement; there are stupid people who believe in it. This is Malaysia! No wonder Malaysia is having brain drain because smart people have left the country.

People, let's boycott racist and extremist newspaper for your own sake. And please make a change in the coming General Election. Show them the power you have as the legitimate citizen of the nation.

JOM UBAH!

JOM UBAH!!

KALAU TAK UBAH SEKARANG BILA NAK UBAH!

KALAU TAK UBAH SEKARANG, KITA YANG AKAN TERUBAH!

KALAU TAK UBAH SEKARANG, MEREKA TAK AKAN UBAH-UBAH!

KALAU TAK UBAH SEKARANG, TIADA PELUANG LAGI MEREKA AKAN DIUBAH!

KALAU TAK UBAH SEKARANG, SAMPAI BILA-BILA PUN TIDAK AKAN ADA PERUBAHAN!

Protest at RTM - Against Political Interference

We the 528 Media Action Group，WAMI & CIJ, urge members of the public, political parties and NGOs to participate in a demonstration at RTM in response to the sacking of Chou Z Lam, who produced a documentary about the impact of Bakun Dam on indigenous people. Chou was sacked after he made public that his documentary was axed and that his superior in RTM has told him that “it would have negative impact on the (just-concluded) Sibu by-election”.

Please join us to make a stand that political interference into media industry, particularly in state broadcaster running on taxpayer money is unjustifiable!

Yellow Ribbon Campaign for Press Freedom

Sempena Hari Kebebasan Media Sedunia yang akan berlangsung pada 3 Mei 2010, Pertubuhan Wartawan dan Jurugambar Akhbar Cina Pulau Pinang (Pewaju) akan mengadakan "Kempen Ribon Kuning demi Kebebasan Media" untuk meningkatkan kesedaran para wartawan dan orang ramai mengenai kebebasan media.

"Ribon Kuning" merupakan simbol kebebasan media yang sentiasa menjadi topik hangat di Malaysia, terutamanya wujudnya Akta Penerbitan dan Mesin Cetak 1984 (PPPA) yang mencengkam organisasi media dan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri 1960 (ISA) yang mengugat para wartawan. Akan tetapi Akta Kebebasan Maklumat yang dinanti-nantikan oleh orang ramai tidak nampak perkembangan positif.

Oleh yang demikian, kami amat berharap saudara dan saudari dapat memberi sokongan kepada kempen kami yang dicadangkan berlangsung selama dua hari, iaitu pada 3hb dan 4hb Mei. Selain itu, saudara dan saudari juga amat digalakkan supaya memakai ribon kuning dan menyertai majlis pelancaran Dataran Pidato pada pukul 8pagi 4hb Mei di Padang Kota Lama @ Esplanade.

Berikut merupakan maklumat mengenai kempen ini:

Nama Kempen: Kempem Ribon Kuning demi Kebebasan Media (Yellow Ribbon Campaign for Press Freedom)

Tarikh: 3hb dan 4hb Mei 2010
