Media Disgrace

I was examining through stacks of articles on thecicak when I came across this one. It was not the whole story that bedazzled me, only a tiny part of it. Apparently, Malaysian media does it again. Exaggerating stories. The only thing that they are very good at. Remember kes parang, fellow budak koleq?

Media says..

“Bunyi tembakan begitu kuat dan bertalu-talu. Hujan peluru itu terlalu hampir dengan saya"

The actual victim says..

"'Hujan peluru' was nowhere near me"


That is certainly not all. Browse through the world wide web yourself for the whole story and you will see.

I am in no good shape to write, and the media frenzy was not the only thing that bothers me. Have a go at this other disturbing article from Malaysiakini, which I posted on on The Class of 2005's blog.

featurized news from a tabloid, what more to expect? nevertheless, the human drama is what most people love to read thus that is why Harian Metro is still around these days..

Chicha:

Nahh.. No worries. Any language's acceptable, as long as they're understood. Aku pun ingat nak buat posting in both English and BM tapi so far blom dapat. Will try.

Haha.. English letop-letop. Aku taktau la Cepe, I was thinking of my blog as something international so I opted to go English. Tapi aku still rase best expressing stengah-stengah benda in Malay.

About working with Harian Metro? Sekarang target aku nak jadi either journalist ot photographer for either Reuters, AP or AFP. The very least is New York Times. Bukan tak sayang negara sendiri, but you know how things are around here.
