Star, on page N6, gave half a page to the statement by MCA President, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Kiat with the headline: “DAP advised to boycott polls – Ong tells party to prove it opposes hudud”.
But it blacked out my reply to Ong. Not a word at all.
Shame on you Star, which claims to be “The people’s paper”!
What are you afraid of?
Is this your “new journalism”?

” Some players appear to have youth on their side and are saying “if there’s one beach, there’s bound to be a better beach elsewhere” and have started pulling at the oars.” Orang Rojak
That will be Jeffrey and Lee Wang Yen.

Alright, boys, we have hogged enough of the limelight in the past couple of days. Let others have their say. Have a good day.

“Words of wisdom” all my own work too, for a change.
One last, while I’m on a roll, this time back to other people’s words:

Aiyo, this piece of “cha Siew” Wong CW is a eu-nuch la.
Uncle Kit, I still remember this guy has been writing all the one-sided comments pre-3.08. Then, post-3.08, he tried to change his style amid readers grouses…
A eu-nuch is a eu-nuch, his “thing” has been cut off and kept by MCA (his boss), u cant expect him to act like a man right?

A colleague once e-mailed the journalists of one of these BN-controlled newspapers, asking them why they gave more exposure to the MIC members who demonstrated and made all sorts of politically motivated allegations against the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor state government over the demolition of a Hindu temple in Ampang when they should have focused more on what really mattered, which is a statement from the Hindu temple committee. He did not get a direct answer. However, soon after that, that newspaper finally published the temple committee’s statement that it had, earlier in a meeting, received MPAJ’s admission to demolishing the temple by mistake. Obviously, there was bias in reporting news with more publicity given to MIC in trying to gain more political mileage out of the issue.

Well, I see that every sentence or paragraph Lee Wang Yen wrote is about ” DAP kicking out PAS ” . PAS had ruled Kelantan and now is in control of Kedah state govt. Do you see any hudud laws being implemented in these two states that dehumanised human beings by cutting people’s hand ?
No, in fact they are so open that they allow other religions to be practised freely.
Why are you kicking a big fuss over nothing ? PAS had worked together with UMNO ruling Kelantan and Terengganu and yet no non-Muslim in Malaysia ever make a hue and cry.
For your information, UMNO Kelantan said that they endorsed the hudud law implementation ! For what ? VOTE FISHING of course.
Is it because of the upcoming elections in KT that the issue of hudud is being raised ? Is it because you can use this platform to raise fear among the non-Muslims so that votes goes to the other party?
I bet you that this issue will be non-existent once the by-election is over.
We should look at the broader issues of good governance , massive corruption , arrogance of power , cronyism , racial bigotry etc that besets this country rather than this issue of hudud which in the light of the Malaysian constitution can never be raised or implemented at all unless this country is 100% Muslim.
