I don't really have to reprimand on the fact that newspapers dwell on Advertising revenue to make rounds about their news. And that the advertisers chose the selected space. But the advertisement just have arrogance on every section.
Don't use hidden message man. Thank you? More like "Najib for PM".
On another note, I was watching the Anwar speech at Kelana Jaya stadium, provided by Malaysiakini. I don't really need to post most of them here, because the link to the Youtube channel is provided.
Overall, Anwar had been making offending remarks about the media about 3 - 4 times throughout the speech. No not just any media, he's not that angry. Just Utusan Melayu, New Straits Times, RTM and TV3. He told them they can brag all they want, but they can never replace the facts reported by others.
Ouch, imagine if those journalists present personally support Anwar.
Then again, some of them just like to create chaos, like me =D. Bad news, is good news, that's the motto. Bad news sells.
Yeap, that's the end of reporting made easy.
On towards my personal stuff:
When I first suggest it to Rin, my initial impression is that not many will support this move. Because mainly most of us will be too busy studying for Communication Theories, and that they would be afraid of getting clamped down. I thought that maybe, as students, they would not want to take action. But I was surprised, not to mention baffled.
Most of my coursemates turn up with a black T-shirt!
And those who didn't wear, had simply forgot.
They support the move with passion, and my coursemates, Steven and Firebird, used their time to make ribbons like this.
We marched into the exam hall. We are the only ones in a group who wore black. Some of the latecomers saw and said "Whoa, funeral".
I can't help it because I want to say "We are here to commemorate the death of press freedom", but when entering the exam hall we are supposed to remain silent. Too bad.
Some people asked me why is it yellow? I didn't know how to answer, so I just told them it's a symbol of freedom, and yellow is the colour of royalty, "Daulat Tuanku".
And I wore that T-shirt the whole day with the ribbon. I gave Ephyon one yellow ribbon too. We both wore it with pride while walking around Sunway Pyramid, having lunch and conversations. The ribbon is still at my side, in case I need to use it.
And I was browsing through Facebook just now to see a "Free Teresa Kok against ISA" with a yellow ribbon sign. I can't help but feel proud of myself.
Oh, and what Rin said. Please email to me if you want to pass on the message to Teresa Kok, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, or Tan Hoon Cheng. English, Mandarin, or Bahasa Melayu, your choice. We'll send these messages to them. I'm sure most of you have my personal email address, but to those who don't, just use the one on my blog for now.
Oh oh oh! One more thing, that has nothing to do with politics or September 16th.
Somebody complain that everyone freaking earns revenue through blog wor.
Really ah? Do you see me with "I serve some shit ads"? Do you see me wanting to review stuff? Do you see me endorsing some shitty brand?
Don't generalise when you can la. Okay? Aiyah, I'm sure that I'll be rebuked because I'm very perasan to feel insulted by her when she didn't mention me, and probably I'll get myself another post by her entitled "stupid bitch part 2". Probably the main points covers how she have the right to stereotype and that is what she'll do. Oh well.
And another thing. My friend said I have growing popularity o_O
Really or not? I still think it is superficial, because I visit my own blog everyday to see how intelligent I am to see if I have any comments.
Yea right, I wonder who would read this blog anyway. Only friends close to me would. I know, thanks for the hits.
Toodles.
P/S: Notice the change of expression of that Rela member standing just behind Anwar as he progress through his speech. From not listening to being in awed with Anwar speech. Haha. The power of a powerful speech.
“We must meet. RPK is in danger.”
We met.
“You look like shit!”, he said.
“I feel like that as well”, I replied.
“You remember when RPK was in remand at Sungai Buloh the last time and he refused to eat or drink and the prison authorities got so worried that they begged his wife to get him out?
“Well, RPK is on hunger strike again. No food and no water. The authorities know that his kidneys will not be able to take this for long too long. They are going to let this carry on in the hope that complications set in and that he will suffer organ malfunction.
“That’s why even though there are news reports that Teresa’s family will be allowed to see her, probably tomorrow, there is no word that RPK’s family will be allowed the same. Lawyers have already written asking that they be permitted to meet with RPK but no word yet.
“They’re going to wait until his condition is critical before they get him medical attention. By then it will be too late. RPK would already be dead.
“That’s what they are banking on. They’ll say he brought it on himself.
“You people can hold all the vigils you want. That’s not going to get him out.
“Pakatan have to move now. Anwar has to stop this nonsense of waiting for enough Malay MPs to crossover before he seeks the audience with the Agong to intimate that Pak Lah has lost the confidence of the majority of MPs in Parliament. Didn’t the rakyat reject race-based politics at the last general elections and at Permatang Pauh? Go form the federal government now.
“Anwar has the numbers already, so he should not delay any longer.
“RPK has been without food or water since Friday. He’s not going to last long.
“We must get him out now. Otherwise the authorities will be returning him to us in a coffin!
And we can only get RPK out now if Pakatan takes over immediately”.
It has begun. Unofficially, the chain of events spiralling from March till now. All that matters, all that atrocities. It will create chaos. Madness it is. It has begun
From Malaysia-Today:
Latest Update: DSP Ibrahim Jaffar called Madam Marina at 12pm (15 Sept 2008), to inform her that her family can visit RPK in Bukit Aman at 11am tomorrow. His laywers are also allowed to do so at 11am on Thursday (18 Sept 2008). - admin
The Joker, in the Dark Knight said "Introduce a little....anarchy".
V, in V for Vendetta said "..A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world."
You hate to admit it, but anarchists are right. Make them feel powerless.
Raja Petra Kamaruddin is a blogger's symbol. The act of destroying him, will change the world.
But hopefully, they will not let him be destroyed.Madness, it has begun.
"Remember, remember, sixteenth of September, that Malaysian turnover plot;
I know of no reason this turmoil and chaos should ever be forgot."
