When will Utusan Malaysia stop being a racist newspaper?

Utusan Malaysia and the NewStraits Times are both Umno’s propaganda mouth piece.All their political reporters and editors are Umno’s tools.

These tools though some of them are qualified journalists but their behaviours are most unethnical,most disputable ,thus making their news report ,the worst of its kind.

Any good and ethical newpapers would have sacked them immediately and none will ever wanna employ them.For years I have stopped subsribing them.It’s without a shadow of doubt, practises double standard.

If it’s Umno newspaper,is okay but if it’s opposition one,it’s not okay.That’s why Umno refused to repeal the “printing and publication Acts”.

Similarly Umno wants to retain the ISA,just to warn and arrest any people who opposes them. On the other hand,I wish all those vicious UMNO/BN ministers be given the taste of its own bitter medicine.

The very existence of Utusan Malaysia shows that BN takes the law into its own hand. Utusan Malaysia is allowed to make seditious report again and again. It seems that Utusan Malaysia is given legal immunity of speech by Hishammudin.

Utusan Malaysia and Awang Selamat represents the worst of Malaysia’s journalism; in fact, associating these with journalism is an insult to those who gave journalism such a good reputation around the world such as Mr. Woodward & his partner in the Water Gate Scandal; our own Nadeswaran and Terence Fernandez; Sebastian who hosted Hard Talk; Tim Page at Vietnam War etc…..

We need to be fair if we want a fair government. We can hate BN all we want but without being fair, we are not better than them. Listen to what Gandhi says:

However much I may sympathize with and admire worthy motives, I am an uncompromising opponent of violent methods even to serve the noblest of causes.

It is with this principle that he would never justify the use of violence. He is a fair man … are we?
