The Home Minister should suspend the Chinese dailies which constantly misquote Malay Ministers on Chinese matters inciting anger and pitting the two communities against each other like it was the company’s top agenda.
In the most recent case, the deputy prime minister was reportedly using the word “ungrateful” to describe the community in the wake of the ruling party’s defeat in the Bukit Gantang by-election. Though this was not what he said about the Chinese community although it would have been right on target if he had done so, the response by the Chinese leaders who didn’t bother to investigate beforehand were direct and could strain the relationship in the Cabinet.
According to the Home Minister, he himself was misquoted in his winding up speech in the recent UMNO General assembly when he said the party and the Malay Rulers were the only parties who fought for Malaya's independence. If indeed this is so and judging by the frequency of this malicious act by the dailies concerned, then the minister should stop being defensive and start doing his job by taking action on them maintaining national security and social order before it gets out of hand.

His first act as Home Minister was to appoint Datuk Michael Chong, head of the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department as his advisor and special officer. I dread to think how much further he is willing to bend backwards to please the Chinese community who are a little unappreciative, though not entirely "ungrateful” to BN, but I hope at the very least as UMNO Vice President, he would tap on Michael Chong’s experience to create a complaints bureau for UMNO that mirrors the exemplary and exceptional work of its MCA counterpart.

Menteri2 Melayu samada tak cepat melatah macam menteri Cina ataupun mereka malas hendak melayan suratkhabar baik Cina atau Melayu.....sebab itu Utusan tidak perlu untuk di gantung. Tetapi Menteri Cina cepat menjawab tanpa usul periksa apabila membaca suratkhabar mereka. Kalau bukan menteri itu yang kena ambil tindakan maka pemberita yang salah laporlah yang sewajibnya digantung!
Assalamualaikum saudara Patriot,
Saya berani mempertaruhkan 2 ekor lembu jika menteri yang menjaga keamanan negeri(KDN) kita sekarang nak gantung suratkhabar Cina..
Seperti menunggu UFO nak landing kat JB,maka saya yakin itulah yang kan berlaku.Tak mungkin UFO nak landing kat JB maka tak mungkin jugaklah Menteri nak gantung suratkhabar Cina.
Yang saya ingat,3 hari selepas Perhimpunan Agong UMNO,ketika suratkhabar Cina ada mengulas tentang ucapan Menteri tersebut,maka dgn gelabahnya dia terpaksa membetulkan statementnya yang telah sebenarnya diputarbelitkan oleh suratkhabar Cina.
Tidak pula dia bagi warning kat wartawan tu sbb menulis ikut suka hati mereka yang boleh menyebabkan racial tension
Agaknya kena jaga hati masyarakat Cina kot.Mana nak letak muka kalau kena mintak maaf sekali lagi macam tahun lepas dek kerana sebilah keris
Fikirlah sendiri..
stop being defensive. stop being defensive. stop being defensive. take actions! when you are afraid, your opponent will be brave. vice versa.
Dear TPJ,
IN REPORTING,THE NEWSPAPER ITSELF MUST BE RESPONSIBLE AND MATURE
DON'T JUST SIMPLY WHACK PEOPLE FOR PERSONAL AGENDA AND GAIN.,IN THIS CASE OUR OWN DPM WAS THE TARGET.IT IS NOT GOOD AND IT IS VERY UNETHICAL!
ENOUGH OF SPINNING THE NEWS.WE WANT SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE AND ACCURATE, WE WANT FAIR NEWS, NOT BIAS NEWS! IF YOU GUYS DON'T AGREE WITH THE GOVERNMENT, THAT IS FINE BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION, BUT DO NOT MANIPULATE AND TWIST THE ORIGINAL STORY AND TURN IT INTO A RACIAL ISSUE.THAT'S SIMPLY WRONG.THIS KIND OF NEWS SPIN IS SERIOUSLY NOT HEALTHY FOR OUR COUNTRY!
IS IT SO HARD TO REPORT THE ACTUAL NEWS! BE FAIR AND PLEASE DON'T BE BIAS IN YOUR REPORTING! THIS GOES FOR ALL THE REPORTER'S OUT THERE.
TO THOSE CHINESE REPORTERS WHO REPORTED WRONGLY IN THEIR PAPERS, I HOPE THEY CAN CLEAR THE AIR AND APOLOGIZE THOUGH I DOUBT IT WILL HAPPEN.
TO MCA AND GERAKAN,DO NOT JUMP THE GUN UNTIL U ASK THE PERSON ITSELF(DPM)WETHER THE NEWS IS TRUE OR NOT.AFTER ALL IN BN,THERE ARE ROOM FOR DISCUSSION AND INQUIRY RIGHT.
NO HARD FEELING PLEASE!AND NO TIME TO BE EMOTIONAL
ONLY THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

Apabila journalis Sin Chew dahulu di tangkap kerana membesar2kan isu pendatang semata2 menaikkan kemarahan orang Cina kepada kita, siapakah yang menyokong beliau? GERAKAN dan MCA, parti yang menganggotai kerajaan BN sendiri bersama dengan DAP sementara ada bangsa Melayu yang bangsat dari PAS sanggup menkhianati bangsanya sendiri berada di balai polis menuntut supaya Ahmad Ismail lah yang sepatutnya ditangkap.
Itulah dia musibah yang melanda bangsa kita pada hari ini.
Sekaya mananya kita. Semaju mana pun kita. Kita jangan lupa bahawa setiap orang mempunyai musuh. Musuh yang kita yang memcemburui setiap apa yang kita miliki. Kita orang Melayu boleh baik dan bermuka muka. Tapi jangan hilang waspada. Seperti juga orang Islam yang baik dengan orang Yahudi yang hidup hidup dalam masyarakat yang sama, tetapi sentiasa berwaspada dengan mereka.
Buat baik berpada - pada.
Mutu Pintar,
These irresponsible reporters and the newspaper companies will only practice self censorship when the newwspaper is suspended for 3 months. They will feel the pinch when they have to cover their overheads without selling newspapers for that duration. Perhaps then, they will report more responsibly in fear of their licence being revoked altogether after three strikes.
There is a converse relationship between the minister and the newspaper comapnies. When the minister is responsible and takes action, the newspaper companies will become responsible in their reporting; when the minister become irresponsible in his duties, the newspaper companies become equally irresponsible in their reporting.
We should start taking lessons from Singapore on how to maintain authority, becuase clearly some segment of the public don't know how to handle the freedom given to them by the Government.
Dear sir,
I think your writing is simply superb but sometimes controversial.
The thing with these Chinese dailies have been bugging me for quite sometimes..I strongly feel that they are disrespectful to the mass audience because not all M'sian undersatand and want to bother what this Chinese daily is reporting.
Now let's talk about PR and their playacting;
The truth is PR people used to make a living by criticizing other people. They sold hopes, and ordinary people like me bought these hopes en masse. Now they are making a living through governing and are being criticized by the same people who bought those hopes. They can't handle criticisms because they have too many things to hide. And all these were just within a year in power in just 5 states.
They used to go around campaigning in their Protons and second hand makes. Then, Bukit Gantang voters saw it with their own eyes when they came in Harriers, Alphards, Camrys and all sorts of SUVs.
Remember, they haven't ruled at the federal level yet, and only God knows what more nonsense will come if they ever become Kerajaan Pusat. Perak people know that logging concessions are prime prizes in the state, therefore, it is worth fighting to the end for that power.
Likewise in Penang, with mega projects such as the monorail in the pipeline. The MPPP too has rich coffers. Therefore, the DCM post is NOT a ceremonial post. It comes with power.
I am not in politics, just an ordinary citizen trying very hard to make a living. But even ordinary citizen like me can understand why all these nonsense are taking place.
DAP/PKR/PAS have changed. The power that they got after the 12th GE changes them.No matter what bullshit they want us to believe, naaah, won't buy it at all.
Struggling M'sian
Saya baru menonton filem Hang Tuah...saya ketawa diri sendiri apa bila saya melihat Melor (kekasih Tuah) mencium kerambit dan lepastu mengunakanya keatas Kamarwijaya. Si Melor ni perempuan dan berani pulak tu...yang cium kris berapa tahun lalu di PWTC tu specie apa? Perempuan, lelaki ke 'pondan'?! Mestinya 'pondan' la. Itu pasal mana dia berani macam hamid albab & the 40 thieves of kota berendam! Si 'pondan' letak kat KDN utk check mate MY boleh la..!
21c
LOL! Saya pun menuntun cerita tu sama waktu dengan anda, dan perkara yang sama menggeletek akal saya apabila melihat Sa'adiah mencium kerambit itu.
Yang mencium keris dulu itu, kalau dipakaikan kemban macam si Melor pun lebih sesuai sebab kebaculannya untuk perjuangkan warisan Melayu sudah terserlah.
