Malaysiakini issued an apology to Datuk Seri Najib for wrongly attributing a manifesto to him. He accepted the apology and will not take action action MK. The reporter Wong Choon Mei tender her resignation and took full responsibility for not first verifying the validity of the manifesto before publishing. That is true professionalism and MK should be proud to have this journalist on their team! This cannot be said about Cerpen, the Utusan fella who wrote the "YB J" fiction, he really give professional journalist a bad name!
The other issue that has been bugging me about this MK and Najib issue is who are the so call supporters of Najib who issued this manifesto? Surely somebody must know since they are Najib's supporters. I mean look at YB Teresa's case, she did not even participate nor signed any documents and said anything as reported by Utusan but it didn't take long for someone to point the finger at YB Teresa. So, why is it so difficult to find the perpetrator who point the finger to Najib? Also I don't see Albar or Najib himself jumping to conclusion and using the ISA on any suspect, why no "wild shooting" this time? I will be waiting anxiously the next few days to see if the police, Albar and Najib is pursuing this case like YB Teresa, DSAI, RPK and the Sin Chew reporter's case with such ferocity.
On the same note, Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said it is up the MCMC to take action against Malaysiakini. He said :"This is one of the abuses of cyberspace where people just simply pick up things without checking and publish as the gospel truth. But the damage done is rather obvious. It was clearly done with the intention of tarnishing a national leader. The action is very much regretted."
Ah, hello Mr. foam in your mouth minister, can you be a bit more bias with what you just said. You seem to have forgotten about Utusan Malaysia's report on YB Teresa. I am pretty sure that will be under your jurisdiction right? So, put your money(or foam) where your mouth is! Act against the editor, reporter and Utusan Malaysia itself. If I am not mistaken, there were no warning letter given to Utusan at all, so practice what you preach before you crucify others! Cakap tak serupa bikin! How do you expect the rakyat to respect a Minister that is so bias, one sided and so much BS?(not to mention so much unsightly foam)
