Najib abusing his position to save Utusan!

Recently Najib gave Utusan Malaysia his endorsement when he urged government departments, government-linked companies (GLCs) and Bumiputera firms to advertise more in the Umno-owned Bahasa Malaysia daily to ensure the newspaper's capability to compete in the long term. This is an outright abuse of his position and wrong! Utusan is a private company spewing out racist lies and slander. On top of that to name a street road after this UMNO own company is a shiok sendiri exercise that is abusing his power! 

I like the response from the article below taken from Malaysian Insiders.

How far does one go to support fiction? In Utusan Malaysia's case, it goes as far as getting government departments and state companies to advertise in the Umno-owned newspaper to ensure its survival.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's push for his party paper today to get such advertisements has to be seen in that light - an endorsement for fiction writing which the daily indulges in from time to time.

After all, no other Malaysian newspaper has lost as many defamation cases as Utusan Malaysia in the last few years.

In opening the 75-year-old newspaper's new office today, Najib said Utusan cannot rely solely on circulation to stay in business and that advertising is needed to keep the news company afloat.Despite its fiction writing putting Malaysians at loggerheads with each other, here comes the prime minister asking Malaysian taxpayers to fund this party newsletter to ensure it can compete in the future.

And this is where money from the GLCs and government departments come in. After all, most of the private sector have ditched advertising in the daily over its racial slant in recent years.

But make no mistake, the advertising ringgit from GLCs comes from taxpayers, many of them educated Malaysians who live in urban areas - the same voters who rejected the politics of racism and chauvinism espoused by Utusan Malaysia.

What would they think of this latest move then, to use their hard-earned money to support a paper prone to fiction? Wouldn't that money be better used to mitigate the effects of rising costs?

Is keeping Utusan afloat a priority for this government over the livelihood of most Malaysians?

And renaming the Jalan Enam road where the Utusan Malaysia office is to Jalan Utusan is a priority and pride for this government?

“Jalan Enam has no meaning. It will be renamed Jalan Utusan,” Najib announced at the opening of the newspaper's new building.

What really has no meaning is supporting such fiction that causes racism and makes people argue with each other. That is what Utusan and its editors have done and were found guilty and fined in a court of law.

This government has a country to run and an economy to grow, not put priority on helping a newspaper survive because it belongs to the ruling party. - September 13, 2013.

Stupid news on Malaysiakini!

I mean I am gonna copy the style of one of my favorite blog.

Today I am highlighting some stupid thinks I have read on Malaysiakini!

1. MCA today called for the abolition of the Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA) to allow a level playing field for the mainstream media.

(Eh the last I check MCA is still in the govt. So why are they shouting like an opposition party?? Do something about it lah! U had 50 over years to fix this but only now U baru mau buat bising ah! Since they are doing such a good job at talking like the opposition, we should make sure they get the opposition job next election!)

2. Utusan Malaysia has lodged two police reports against Namewee over his tirade against the newspaper and its journalist Fauziah Arof following their criticisms of his latest movie 'Nasi Lemak 2.0'.

I laugh my head off when I read that Utusan legal advisor said that “Namewee's action is seen as (trying to) lowering the dignity of the journalist and Utusan Malaysia as racists, stupid, pulling down the image of the company, and containing extreme accusations and containing profanities,”

You can't destroy someone's reputation if the reputation has already been destroyed in the first place right???

3. The news that took 1st place for being the funniest crap today has got to be Chua Soi Lek reportedly saying...

"I consider myself a winnable candidate anywhere I go," Chua told a press conference at the sidelines of the MCA 58th annual general assembly .

The porn star should put his money where his mouth is and come to Penang and go head to head with Lim Guan Eng! Let see how winnable this arrogant porn star will be in this coming election!!

On a final note! This is a good article to help better understand the hudud law issue which stupid MCA is still barking on! Stop spreading false fear to the people of Malaysia!

You know your country is run by idiots when this happens!

Utusan gets a warning letter...

While this comics gets banned for "tendency to (cause) hatred and excite disaffection"

The Home Ministry today issued a reprimand letter to Utusan Malaysia over the daily's front page article on May 7, titled Kristian Agama Rasmi? (Christianity the official religion?).

A reprimand letter requires no follow up action by the newspaper, as compared with a demand to show cause, and is akin to just a slap on the wrist.

According to a Home Ministry statement, Utusan's editor-in-chief Aziz Ishak was called and the letter handed to him. "The Home Ministry will continue to monitor every newspaper in order to prevent news which would menggemparkan (infuriate) the minds of the people or material that is against the PPPA 1984," the statement said.

The article alleged that a group of pastors had participated in a gathering in Penang recently, which involved DAP elected representatives, where they discussed a plot to turn Malaysia into a Christian country and install a Christian prime minister.

No evidence of this allegation was offered by Utusan, who sourced the story from two pro-Umno blogs. One of the two had deleted article that was sourced by Utusan.

Utusan's critics however are likely to point out that the daily, which is owned by Umno, enjoy impunity and always gets away with a mere light reprimand while other dailies have received suspension of printing licenses or have it withdrawn altogether.

For example, Higher Education Deputy Minister Wee Ka Siong wrote on Twitter after the home ministry statement was issued, that in the case of China Press editor-in-chief Teoh Yoog Khoon, he was suspended two weeks over an inaccurate news report.

"(The China Press) report did not cause disharmony among Malaysians of all races. Many people will compare the damage caused by Utusan's report to (that) of China Press.

In Teoh's case, the home ministry had issued a show cause letter over an article which claimed that the then Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan would quit in March last year.

Following this, Home Ministry Deputy Chief Secretary Ahmad Fuad Ab Aziz said that any follow up action would be left to China Press' management.

Police reports lodged

Unlike the China Press incident, many police reports have been lodged against Utusan over the article for flouting sedition laws among others. Bukit Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi, who was named in the article, have also lodged a police report.

Meanwhile yesterday (11 May 2011)..

The Kuala Lumpur High Court today heard that two books by cartoonist Zulkiflee Anwar Ulhaq were banned by the Home Ministry because they contain "terrible accusations" which could lead to public disorder.

In his submission on the judicial review application by the cartoonist popularly known as Zunar against the Home Ministry, federal counsel Noor Hisham Ismail said the books are also seen as an "extreme insult to national leadership".

"The books can't cause public disturbance but there is potential that the people who read it could be likely (influenced).” He added the minister is satisfied that the book has "tendency to (cause) hatred and excite disaffection" towards national leaders, the judiciary and enforcement agencies.

Noor Hisham is representing respondents Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and his deputy Abu Seman Yusuf in a judicial review of the ban imposed on '1Funny Malaysia' and 'Perak Darul Kartun'.

Both books were banned in November 2009.

Noor Hisham also submitted that there is no room for a judicial review as the court does not have the right to examine or challenge the minister's “satisfaction that the books are prejudicial to public order”. “If the matter rests solely on the subjective decision of the minister... and involves opinion and policy then the court should not review the decision. “It seems apparent that when it comes to issues of national security and public order the court cannot intervene by way of a judicial review as it involves policy considerations,” he said, citing case law.
Public order or politicians' reputation?

K Shanmuga, representing the plaintiffs, submitted that in the book ban notice, the minister stated that the books were banned because they are “prejudicial to public order” and not “likely to be prejudicial”.

“It might be worth recalling that the books in question were in publication for almost eight months before their ban, yet there was no evidence whatsoever that any breach of the peace occurred or was threatened as a result of the book. “By failing to produce material evidence of any reports before the minister which he relied on or in any of the affidavits filed before the court, the minister must be deemed to have no good reason for his decision.

“It is all to protect the image of politicians and their reputation,” he said. Shanmuga added that the law requires decisions made by the minister to be “reasonable and proportionate” and that the books cannot be banned “simply for saying not very nice things about politicians and the government of Malaysia”.

“Would a reasonable minister feel there is a threat to public order from cartoons, political satire, and ban the whole book due to several offending pages?” he said.

Commenting on the proceedings later, Zunar (second from right), who was accompanied by his wife Fazlinah Rosley (in blue), questioned the validity of Noor Hisham's submission, particularly when the latter claimed that the minister concluded that the books “tarnished the rakyat's trust in the government”.

“You can only lose something you have. The people who read my books have already lost trust in the government,” he said. Judge Rohana Yusuf will be delivering her verdict on July 14.

Utusan Malaysia and Big Dog will never see the inside of an ISA jail!

As long as BN an UMNO is in power lah!

Blogger Zakhir Mohamed, who caused a controversy with his allegation of a conspiracy by Christian leaders to turn the official religion of the federation from Islam to Christianity, still dares to blog on these lies and insists that the authorities must investigate the purported plot.

In a blog post yesterday, Zakhir (right) said the matter must be investigated thoroughly as it may lead to a surge in Malay and Muslim anger.

“Time has come that such talk about this possibly subversive (Christian) movement, that can threaten national security when the majority of Malay-Muslims rise in anger, is investigated thoroughly.

“If it is true, then it should be dealt with by taking appropriate action,” said Zakhir, who is more popularly known as Big Dog.

The posting was uploaded just as vehement denials - as well as police reports and counter-reports - came forth from bishops and other Christian and non-Christian leaders who deny that such a plot exists.

The controversy erupted when Malay-language daily Utusan Malaysia took the cue from Zakhir and another pro-Umno blogger's postings, and headlined the purported conspiracy on May 7 alleging that DAP leaders were in cahoots with Christian leaders to subvert the position of Islam as the official religion of the federation.

In his blog posting carried a day earlier on May 6, Zakhir claimed that as many as 35 priests had taken an oath to work towards making Christianity the official religion and the installation of a Christian as the country's prime minister.

Another blogger Marahku, in a post with a screaming title 'Agong under threat? The DAP wants to make Christianity the official religion of Malaysia?' lambasted the party for trying to amend the federal constitution to allow a Christian to be PM.

The organisers of the said meeting, were the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship, together with partners Global Day of Prayer, Marketplace Penang and Penang Pastors Fellowship.

According the the DAP rep (Jeff Ooi) who was there "The seminar was to look into ways and the contribution among Christians towards the eradication of corruption and abuses in the country," he added.

He also mention that he was not the organiser (of the seminar). I'm a Buddhist and I do not think I have influence over the pastors to dictate to them what to do," he said.

The organizers said the so-called special convention was an 'Unashamedly Ethical Marketplace' seminar organised to discuss and address the issue of bribery and corruption and the Christians' contribution in addressing such issues.

"It has nothing to do with political succession,” they explained.

According to the organisers, 'Uashamedly Ethical' is a movement to get Christians to make a commitment to say 'no' to corruption.

Kuala Lumpur Archbisop Murphy Pakiam yesterday described the report as "irresponsible, baseless and provocative", and demanded tha

t action be taken against those quarters that he said seek to threaten Malaysia's harmonious, multi-cultural and multi-religious make-up.

However we all know that this will not happen! Utusan Malaysia and Big Dog and his other bloggers will not see the inside of a prison. Why?

Utusan Malaysia is owned by UMNO! and UMNO controls the police, courts and etc!

It is their strategy to divide and conquer!

I hope all Malaysian will not fall to such stupid strategy of BN!

More prove that UMNO is backing this attack is in the statement of their leaders!

Information, Culture and Communication Minister Rais Yatim (left) has warned errant parties not to trifle with the special position of Islam and Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein is quoted as saying that he viewed the "Christian agenda" as serious.

Even Najib's faliure to condemn Utusan Malaysia is disappointing and shows that either He can't control his own newspaper or he is part of this attacked!

But what does the real Expert sa

y?

Renowned constitutional expert

Abdul Aziz Bari has dismissed Utusan Malaysia's article on a supposed conspiracy to make Christianity Malaysia's official religion as "ridiculous".

"Constitutionally it is just illogical. It cannot happen, just impossible. Even if Pakatan controlled hundred percent of the Dewan Rakyat.

"Remember that the Senate which has similar powers to the lower house when it comes to constitutional amendments, is not under their control as some of the senators belong to Umno-BN."

He argued that technically the upper house can block the amendment passed by the Dewan Rakyat.

Abdul Aziz (left) contended that the provisions on the subject matters - monarchy, Islam and the Malays - are simply beyond the ordinary political process.

"Under the constitution the Conference of Rulers have the veto power on these matters. Even if Parliament - which means the two houses - pass the amendment it can only take effect if the Rulers agree.

"That is why it is almost impossible to abolish the position of the rulers and Islam."

"In short, actions - both civil and criminal - may be taken against Utusan. There are provisions in the Sedition Act 1948, Printing Presses Act 1984 (publishing false news) and even the Penal Code for the purpose," pointed out the professor.

Sadly this will not happen based on pass experience!

The Penang CM has related the many incidents where Utusan had featured reports of him supposedly challenging the position of Islam.

He reminded journalists on the controversy where he was falsely accused of butchering a cow's head on Hari Raya Qurban - a ritual reserved only for Muslims.

Lim also recalled the time when mosques were reportedly using his name instead of the Agong's - a controversy which he vehemently denied and had since mysteriously died down.

He accused Utusan of continuing to report that the DAP-led Penang government has been disallowing the Prophet Mohammad's birthday procession (Malidur Rasul), when it has been celebrated with greater pomp since it took power in 2008.

"One day they will accuse me of not being a Malaysian, that I was born outside the country... just like how some have accused (US President Barack) Obama," he quipped.

"They had even accused me of wanting to replace the Agong. How can I ever want to be the Agong... they've never apologised to me for all their lies," said Lim.

THIS COMING ELECTION! REMEMBER! VOTE BN OUT IF YOU WANT UTUSAN OUT! BECAUSE UTUSAN IS OWN BY UMNO!!!

For more good reading see here!

and here!

Who do you fear more now? !

This is ok for UMNO and UTUSAN!

This is "buat hal!" WTF!

After 53 years of Merdeka (Independence), the Barisan Nasional (BN), especially the MCA, never fails to constantly warn non-Malays of PAS’ strive for the implementation of hudud laws under an Islamic state. But what the MCA fails to condemn is BN-Umno’s declaration that Malaysia is already an Islamic state.

And since Malaysia is already an Islamic state, what is there for non-Malays to fear anymore? Unless you are saying PAS and Umno’s Islamic state are different. This is illogical because the Malays in PAS and Umno profess the same religion – Islam.

And Islamic laws are only applicable to Muslims, NOT non- Muslims.

What is very clear today is that Malaysians, especially non- Muslims, must be very afraid of Taliban Umno. The Umno-controlled Utusan Malaysia on Thursday (Dec 30, 2010) continued with its fanatical Taliban-like attacks on DAP’s Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching.

Utusan Malaysia published a front-page story titled “Teo Nie Ching makes trouble again” along with a picture of her performing aerobic exercises with men and women in the Masjid Taman Cheras Jaya compound at the recent Maal Hijrah carnival. The newspaper accused her of wearing tight-fitting clothes. She is pictured wearing a white T-shirt and track pants, as were the other Muslim participants.

It is also timely to point out that the Umno-friendly Malay rights group Perkasa had also demanded that Syariah laws be enacted to ban non-Muslims from entering mosques and suraus. In its attacks, Perkasa must have forgotten or conveniently left out MCA, Gerakan and MIC leaders who have also been entering mosques to attend community functions.

However, Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders, including PAS spiritual adviser Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat, had defended Teo over her mosque visit. Teo was reported to have said that although her act may cost her party Malay votes, she would continue engaging Muslim voters through community functions whenever she is invited by a mosque in her constituency.

Yesterday Kelantan Umno Youth questioned the appropriateness of the state government's decision in allowing Wali Band, a popular band from Indonesia.

Wali Band is scheduled to perform at the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium in a charity concert for Palestine, organised by the Palestine mission secretariat with the cooperation of the state government.

So who are fanatics now?!?!

The fact that there are Muslims and mosques willing to invite Teo to grace community functions show that there are many
rational Muslims or Malays who refuse to ape the ways of Taliban Umno Malays.

But, do be afraid, be very afraid of Taliban Umno and Taliban Utusan Malaysia.

With cases like body snatching, assaulted and threatened into converting to Islam, making Christian hide their cross during Christmas, BTN and many more cases, BN is making PAS look mild!

Of course the joke of all this is that although they used Islam as a tool to champion their cause, they themselves are a bunch of crooks themselves! I just hope that most Malaysin will realize that in UMNO, corrupt politician, accused rapist, playboy, and suspected murderers are among their highest ranking leaders!

Selangor 1 Malaysia ban is stupid!

But this UMNO's Utusan article is far worse!!!

Taken from Malaysiakini

After a series of articles condemning Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching for entering a surau, Utusan Malaysia is now accusing her of “causing problems again” during an aerobics exercise event at a mosque compound. The front-page report accused her of wearing “tight clothes” during the function at the launch of the Maal Hijrah (Islamic new year) function in the compound of the Taman Cheras Jaya mosque on Dec 12. The report also featured quotes from pro-Umno blog Ruang Bicara Faisal (RBF) which accused Selangor PAS of practising double standards. Citing PAS-ruled Kelantan's gender segregated payment counters at shopping centres, dinner tables and sporting events, the blogger said that the party turned a blind eye to what goes on in mosque compounds in Selangor. “PAS' fatwa in Selangor is different. Men and women are allowed to have aerobics exercise in a mosque compound without segregation. “Even better when their elected representative wears tight clothes for a function held in conjunction with Maal Hijrah,” said the anonymous blogger, as reported by Utusan. The report also quoted the blogger as also accusing Teo's party DAP and PAS of lacking principles and being willing to do anything for the sake of seeking popularity. Teo bites back This is the second timeUtusan had homed in on Teo's activities with her Muslim constituents, with the first questioning her appearance at a breaking of fast function in a mosque in Kajang. In an immediate reaction to today's report, Teo saidUtusan's report represents its “extremist” attitudes and is bent on promoting racial and religious tensions. “I would not be dictated by the 'rules' set by Utusan or Umno because I believe Umno is not qualified to teach Islam,” she said in a posting on her blog andFacebook page today. She argued that she had done nothing wrong by accepting the mosque's invitation to attend the event, and moreover, she was well-received by the participants at the event. “So, what's wrong with me attending events organised in the compound of a mosque or surau when invited? What is wrong with me exercising at the mosque carpark along with others? “Why is my effort to get closer to the voters and foster greater understanding regarded as wrongful by Utusan and Umno? “Am I wrong because I've violated the teachings of Islam or is it because I'm a DAP politician?” she wrote on her blog today. 'PM gives Utusan immunity' Teo also lashed out at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak for failing to live up to his speech at the 43rd International Convention of the World Chinese Language Press Institute for news organisations to be the “promoter of moderation”. She accused Najib of failing to put a leash on Utusan and allowing the daily to promote narrow and dangerous views on race and religion. “It is clear that Utusan is not the promoter of moderation but the promoter of extremism. But will the premier or the home minister take action against Utusan?” she asked.

Track suit and a t-shirt is tight clothing ah?!?! Utusan newspaper people are b

eyond stupid!

I found this pic on the net! I don't think it is real but you decide which one is more offensive to you!

What are Utusan Malaysia writers up to???

Malay language daily Utusan Malaysia described the 1969 May 13 racial riots as a 'sacred day' for Malaysia.

The daily's deputy editor-in-chief Zaini Hassan (below) described the riots as a blessing in disguise in his weekly column. He also warned DAP to recognise the significance of that day.

Otherwise "wealthy businesses and the professional classes would be controlled by one race only," he wrote.

THIS IS UMNO CONTROLLED NEWSPAPER!

Will Home ministry come after them for printing such bullshit?!?!

Are MCA Gerakan or MIC doing anything about this?!?!

Do you need anymore reason to vote against Barisan National?!?!?

DAMN!
