MalaysiaMedia in Malaysia.
Be it government-funded or private, it seems like they are only telling good stories about the government and nuthing else. If you are studying Mass Communication, there is something being called media ethics. In simple words, one of the ethics is always tell the truth! Why make up stories to cover up all the politician's wrongdoings? I don't intend to be locked up in the ISA but lately, I hate watching primetime news on Malaysian TV's. Don't you think most of the stories are bullshit? Come on media people! You are carrying out a huge responsibility in telling people what they need to know, NOT what the government wants them to know. The way I see it, media and government in Malaysia is like boyfriend and girlfriend. They support each other.
Malaysia and Democracy?
Democracy only on papers, that is what I think. If Malaysia is truly applying democracy as it claimed, there won't be people locked up in the ISA for expressing opinions that might somewhat jeopardize the gov's image. I don't study politics, so I don't freakin know how it works. Maybe it takes some dirtiness to stay longer in the politics world.
I love Malaysia.

Hi Aiman! Cane cuti2 anda?
ReplyDeleteMacam Aiman ckp, media report on benda2 baik je. Sebab ape? Sebab kita belum dpt full hak on what we call 'freedom of speech'.
Halangan ni agak baik dalam sesetengah perkara untuk mengelakkan sesetengah pihak yang bermulut longkang berckp bukan2. Tapi dalam masa yang sama, semua berita utama report on perkara yang masyarakat dah muak nak dengar - bagi pujian dan bodekan melampau kepada sesetengah pihak yang mungkin tak berapa adil/baik/tepat??
Mungkin jalan yang terbaik, instead of reporting these kind of stories, news boleh ketengahkan isu-isu kemasyarakatan instead of politics sebagai cerita utama. Tak kata terus stopkan cerita politik tapi mungkin as side story.
Masyarakat sekarang dah bijak. Kita nak tengok isu yang sebenar, kejadian yang berlaku di sekeliling kita. Bukan kisah perebutan kuasa atau lawatan mana-mana pihak yang tak bawa makna kepada orang ramai rata-ratanya.
Just my opinion though ;D
yaya yaya. how are you? cuti cane? mesti boring kan?
ReplyDeleteyup. betul. kita belum dapat full rights on 'freedom of speech'. so nak cakap apa-apa pun, kena fikir 4-5 kali. hurm. what to do?
berita kat tv tu biased sangat.
