Hishammuddin to meet chief editors of newspapers

KSN: Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, why do you want to meet the chief editors of all newspapers? New Straits Times, The Star, Berita Harian, Utusan Malaysia, etc, are all reporting what you wish.

If you are meeting them with the Christian conspiracy in mind, why all of them? You have met Utusan chief editor over tea, I believe. He is coming too?

And what do you mean sensitive? If the truth is sensitive, let it be. But the issue at hand is lies, treacherous lies, to instigate and cause havoc in the country among different faiths and races.

You are also the minister who can exercise the powers under ISA. Not that I agree with the law, but the editors and bloggers of this slander deserve it.

Ibrahim Ali of Perkasa as reported by Malaysiakini has said he is ready to spill blood. What about considering him for ISA before he causes severe damage.

Louis: So Utusan is responding to sensitive issues reported by other mainstream media... Poor minister, anyone will tell him that two wrongs do not make a right. It is his responsibility to correct the wrong reporting.

Secondly, all mainstream media are controlled by BN component parties. Hence, he only has to tell off the presidents of the respective parties, including Najib Razak.

But Hishammuddin or the PM rather keep their elegant silence, apparently allowing the issue to fester and blame it on the opposition. How clever, and the scheme works.

Ghkok: The question is - who owns all the major newspapers in Malaysia? Umno - Utusan, Berita Harian, NST, MCA - The Star, Vincent Tan - The Sun.

Therefore, who is instructing the newspapers to publish these slanderous and fictitious news? Who calls the shots? Who stands to gain from this?

Christine Yong: Is this a meeting with the newspaper editors to praise them that they did a good job? The same way as what Hishammuddin did when he met the cow-head gang?


Sodomy II: D-Day for Anwar tomorrow

Ghkok: The more they persecute Anwar, the more the people of Malaysia will hate them. Twelve years ago, they bundled Anwar into a van, brought him to prison and tortured him.

Then they dragged him through a kangaroo court, and imprisoned him for six years on trumped-up charges, which was later overturned. As a result, Anwar was declared a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International, similar to Aung Sun Suu Kyi and Nelson Mandela.

If they put Anwar in prison again, another Mandela is in the making. Anwar will fight for justice until the end of his life, he will never give up and the people will join him in the millions. It will be Umno's downfall.

Keturunan Malaysia: If they put Anwar in now, they are doomed. If they let Anwar go now, they are double doomed.

By Election Fan: It does not need a law expert to see that this case was fixed to end DSAI's (Anwar's) political career. I will bet to my last dollar, DSAI will send back to jail again.

But how can BN stay in power if Anwar is in jail? The opposition is going to use it to gain more support. The only way out is ISA. I suspect they are planning another Operasi Lalang to send all prominent opposition leaders to jail under ISA by using the current religious issue.

Watch out for Perkasa. Perkasa will create ‘trouble' and this will give Hishammuddin the excuse to act in the name of national security.

Ape Man: In Malaysia, you know who is the judge.


Four arrested at anti-Lynas protest

Dood: When Umno/BN or its buddies hold protests (typically against the opposition), the government and the police won't take action, saying that the people have the right to express their dissatisfaction or anger.

But when it's the other way around, the cops are quick to act. Truly 1Malaysia, 2Standards.

Mambo: Why must the police arrest the protestors? They were protesting to ensure that this plant does not endanger their lives.

This is a private company on top of that. It so obvious that the Pahang menteri besar and his cohorts have an interest in this company. Ask the MB to stay near the plant and I am sure he will give you a million excuses and run away.

1Rakyat Malaysia: Do you think the BN government will listen to the rakyat? Umno is involved with this Lynas projects so whatever it takes, the projects will continue.

Only a change in government can prevent Lynas from killing our grandchildren. It is PM Najib Razak's home state and he has not utter a word on it.
