Let’s Talk Cock Together
August 2nd, 2006
Saw the following comic in NanYang Newspaper dated Friday, July 18, 2006. Like it so much.
Well, if the comic is translated into English, the bird should become a cock so that it makes sense with the topic. Ok, now the cock is ruling the animal empire. He tells all the animals that their names are all “Cock” and should talk cock together with him because he thinks this is the best solution to stay united.
In case if you don’t have any idea what the picture illustrates, you may wanna read this news.
(Ok, I know it’s an OLD news. So?)
Mainstream media in the country need not compete with websites and “bloggers” on the Internet to publish speculative and sensational materials and news
After trying to control the mainstream media, the cock wanted to control Internet media pula, see this.
The Government will study if the Printing Presses and Publications Act should be amended to include the electronic media and the Internet media.
What are all these news telling us?
I’m worried sooner or later we won’t see any real news anymore. Even worse, we will have no space to voice our opinion too.
Now I know why Tun Dr. M so tulan!

From what I understand lah, the leader wants us to follow his way of doing things. Don’t tell anything that he thinks should not be told. As simple as that.

alah…u bukan tak tahu ISA, PPPA imposed lotsa restriction on press,publications,etc. that bliv will jeopardize internal security. N the so called press freedom is not exist when all the presses r owned n controlled by ruling parties n gov~
So, my conclusion is, there is no freedom of speech in this AUTHORITARIAN country k?

Agreed!
One thing saddens me is that most of the ppl here believe in what local newspaper publishing. Sigh…
Look at how Ting Hock Nam screwed up the public transport system in Penang and yet the newspapers still name him as the “best” candidate to take over when Khor Su Khoon steps down soon.

Hohor, thou there is accurate info in press. But most of the sensitive, politic-related news r bein suppressed or altered by them. I bliv the owners practicing the principle that, citizen x have to know so many things as an outsider or ordinary ppl. Well, there is no truth after interference by gov/pol~
