Oh Utusan....why?




The new 1 Malaysia brand of journalism?





I have not been writing for a while now. I am caught up with so many things that the juices don't quite flow to spur me to write. Maybe growing old also lah!




Anyway I just had to write about the UMNO owned newspaper known to all as Utusan Malaysia. It is simply amazing how this newspaper is still being allowed to publish. The vile and venom it publishes is pure rubbish in the plural Malaysian society context. The style of "journalism" promoted by this newspaper smacks nothing more than being mere racist. It is a racist paper. Its editors and journalists responsible for producing the garbage that it calls "social commentaries" are nothing more than racists.




I quote an example of its brand of journalism " Orang Melayu, Raja-Raja Melayu dan Kumpulan Utusan Melayu yang selama ini sangat bersabar dan sentiasa sangat berhati-hati menjaga hati orang Cina dan India, sudah tidak boleh tahan lagi."


Another example would be "Akan tetapi semua seruan dan amaran hanya tinggal dalam lipatan akhbar Utusan Malaysia sahaja. Orang Melayu tidak bangun bangun juga. Pertubuhan Melayu - yang lama dan baru - hanya sekadar mengeluarkan kenyataan marah-marah dan membuat laporan polis sahaja. GAPENA yang menganjurkan Kongres Perpaduan Melayu yang sangat besar dan penuh bersemangat pun, sampai sekarang tidak nampak sebarang tindakan. Pemimpin Umno, termasuk Pemuda pun sekadar mengeluarkan kenyataan dan amaran sahaja.

I am not putting any more examples here. Its so repulsive.

Maybe this is what our PM Najib is talking about when he goes around saying "1 Malaysia". I call it a JOKE!
