On one side it looks like the perfect saviour of press freedom, but wait a second, who? Chua Soi Lek? The MCA president? The self-confessed porn video actor? The guy who Wee Ka Siong used to loathe, but now idolize and address as the Prez? The guy who is in-charge either directly or indirectly the top selling English medium daily the Star? Yeah right....whom are you trying to kid, are you trying to pull a fast one...don't tell me it is one of the worst joke (or is it nightmare?) of the decade.
The Star have taken almost a 180 degrees turn compared to yesteryears, I for one who have been an avid reader of The Star, since Tunku Abdu Rahman, Malaysia's Independent Father (yeah...I know you are going to say....technically we were never colonialised....thus....sigh!) was behind the scene, who could forget his column, 'As I see it', those we're they days.....Damn! I missed those golden days when they we're one of the independent daily around, and you know and I know, that led the daily to be banned during the infamous 'Ops Lalang'.....sigh. Pause, fast forward, and now, look where is The Star now, in fact I am disgusted to call it a newspaper, tabloid would be much more appropriate.
Notice how it would barrage the oppositions with white lies, unproven accusations, while highlighting the MCA cause and uplifting MCA until you feel wanna puke? Not forgetting the two infamous column writers(or are they ghost writers?)...you know whom am I talking about.....Mr B and Miss J.....so my sincere advice to Chua Soi Lek is....clean up your own backyard (of course I am talking about The Star, not the bedroom)...before you start advocating press freedom.
Adios..................a.h.baharom
