Two Malaysian Commandos dead along with 12 Filipino intruders from YESTERDAY'S face-off, and all two MSM -- Utusan Malaysia and the national news agency -- can come up with WAS TO QUOTE A PHILIPPINE NEWS SOURCE to spin the dangerous line the Malaysian Opposition, and therefore by extension PR de facto Leader DS ANWAR IBRAHIM, had played a role in getting the Sulu Sultanate intruders onto the Malaysian soil to start a potential "civil war"!
Hey, as a national news agency, Bernama chief/s should get your stories and official reports from the Malaysian ministers (IR)responsible for the event still in progress -- like the bungling Home Minister, the Foreign Minister (with vested or conflicting interests as his brother is Chief Minister of Sabah) and the Defence Minister, FOR STARTERS? I started my journalism career some three decades ago working at BERNAMA, and on-and-off I had felt "demeaned" by my past association with their unfounded reports quite often biased towards the Opposition, especially former DPM Anwar now waiting in the wings as a potential PM. But this latest spin IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE for "manufacturing news" to serve their political masters. As for Utusan, knowing their news slants over the past three decades, I have expected their "spinning" on many fronts and frankly, some of their reports and commentaries have been so inflammatory the past few years that any journalist worth his/her salt would have departed long ago from the socalled newspaper. (SALUTE to a former President of NUJ Utusan chapter for doing just that!).
I base this post on a Malaysiakini report today, but I am no subscriber, so I can only paraphrase. Now I just reproduce the first para of the report headlined: "Mainstream media drags Anwar into Lahat Datu fiasc", quoting from the update timed 3.07PM:
UMNO-controllled Utusan Malaysia and gov't agency Bernama play up media reports linking the opposition to the Sabah fray. (quote ends)
My dear EsteemedReaders, Patience OK, will come back to serve you later!:) OR :( Hey, you can't expect me to be at thy peck and call OK to give up a full report on the events going on there because the Chief Minister had urged "don't listen to rumours..." yet he and his cohorts DON"T GIVE ANY UPDATES and expect we Malaysians enjoy being kept in the dark! No, the more inquisitive Malaysians luckily can and we have been surfing the Net to read from sources such as the Philippines Daily Inquirer. Meanwhile I can only urge fellow Malaysians to BOYCOTT the UM group to not be insulted by their propa-GANDA-GANDA-wang-anda and constantly riled by their Awang Selamat and Ridhuan Tee Abdullah's garbage!
