The Enigm@ Chronicles

When Lim Kit Siang (DAP) issued a call to boycott Perak’s swearing in of the state exco the was a complete furore from the main stream media (MSM) with articles insinuating and all out declaring that LKS & the DAP CEC had shown disrespect against the Regent of Perak Raja Nazrin. This was then followed by calls for a variety of NGO’s for LKS & DAP to apologise.

The articles from the MSM can be seen to be purely one sided as they usually are in lieu of the recent debacle that UMNO is perpetuating in Terengganu. It took barely a day since LKS made his blog post on DAP decision to boycott the swearing in ceremony before the claws were out and the nasty side of the MSM were reared! (LKS had later on issued an apology to the Perak Regent)

Yet it’s now been 3 whole days since the crisis in Terengganu has occurred. Moreover the decision of UMNO’s 22 state assemblymen to boycott the swearing in of fellow(former!) UMNO assemblyman Ahmad Said in a show of protest against his nomination by DYMM Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin to the post of Menteri Besar, flies in the face of the monarchy and can and should be considered as a serious act of disrespect against the Sultan whose currently the ruling Agong of Malaysia.

Did the MSM highlight this equally as they did against LKS during the Perak nomination?

The answer is NO!

Are the MSM calling for UMNO and the 22 assemblypersons to apologise to the Sultan for their disrespect?

Once again the answer is NO!

That’s the so called free press for you. In this country free press actually means biased and pro-government only. This blogger feels time and again justified that he’s participating in the call to boycott the MSM for this whole week! Serves them right.

As for those NGO’s that made all sort of calls last week my question to you all are:
Where are your voices now?
Have each and everyone of you gone mute?

Why are you not coming out and proclaiming the same statements that you so easily made against DAP just days ago? Just because it’s UMNO whose at fault now you’ve conveniently kept quit on the issue. In my opinion you attitude smacks of bigotry!
