Penang N11: Lain yang yang dikata, lain yang dilapur...(translation provided)

UMNO dah pening agaknya. Pening dengan kelemahan sendiri sehinggakan akhbar mereka, Utusan Malaysia melapurkan apa yang tidak dinyatakan.

Kes terbaru ialah mengenai kenyataan TG Nik Aziz. Utusan Malaysia pada 17 hb Ogos 2009 beriya-iya benar melapurkan "Nik Aziz kata ahli UMNO tak akan masuk syurga". Maka berpestalah para juak UMNO keliling kampung mendendangkan lagu sumbang sehingga ada yang meminta majlis Ulama mengeluarkan fatwa, ada yang mempersoalkan TG Nik Aziz dan sebagainya.

Malangnya, lapuran Utusan Malaysia tidak menzahirkan apa yang sebenarnya diungkapkan oleh TG Nik Aziz. Dan ini bukan kali pertama perkara ini berlaku atas tubuh badan TG Nik Aziz. Sebelum ini akhbar sama telah mengeluarkan kenyataan mohon maaf kerana melapurkan perkara salah. Apakah akhbar ini tak belajar dari kesilapan? Atau kerana terlalu asyik nak mengena orang hingga gagal memenuhi etika kewartawanan? Atau adakah pemberita terbabit tidak faham Bahasa Malaysia?

Seandainya pemberita dari kumpulan Utusan Malaysia tak faham perkataan "ultra vires" sebagaimana yang dilapurkan dalam pebicaraan Karpal Singh, adakah pemberita ini pula tidak memahami konsep Imam dan Islam? Atau mungkinkah pemberita Utusan tidak mengenali TG Nik Aziz sebagaimana pemberita RTM tidak mengetahui Karpal Singh dari parti mana? Apakah ini piawaian pemberita Malaysia?

Walaupun UMNO bukan Utusan dan Utusan bukan UMNO tetapi hakikatnya Utusan sentiasa memertabatkan UMNO dan pada pandangan Utusan Malaysia apa yang dilakukan UMNO benar belaka. Apakah itu realiti atau bayangan? Dulu, sebahgian besar rakyat merujuk kepadsa Utusan Malaysia sebagai sumber berita. Itu dulu, kini rakyat lebih percaya kepada media alternatif kerana sifat Utusan Malaysia yang lebih panggang dari api.

Akhirnya, Utusan Malaysia merudum dan tidak dipercayai lagi. Akhirnya UMNO juga yang akan rugi...bukan saja rugi dari segi penjualan akhbar Uusan Malaysia tetapi rugi dari segi memenangi minda rakyat. Kini semakin jelas bahwa UMNO akan menempuhi satu lagi kegagalan di Permatang Pasir, hasil kerja Utusan Malaysia...aduh....mungkin selepas ini berduyung-duyunglah pemimpin UMNO akan melepas lenguh badan di Bentong atau Padang Besar. Hai..untung besarlah towkay rumah urut Padang Besar/Bentong hasil kujungan "muhibbah" pemimpin UMNO.

Hingga ketemu lagi...selamat malam M'sia...dimana jua anda berada...

Guess UMNO must be having a headache now. Not only they are facing their own weaknesses but UMNO-owned newspaper, Utusan Malaysia have been reporting what is not uttered.

The latest case concerns TG Nik Aziz's statement. Utusan Malaysia datelined 17th August 2009 went all over town reporting that "Nik Aziz said UMNO members will not enter paradise" or "Nik Aziz kata ahli UMNO tak akan masuk syurga". This prompted UMNO members to go round singing the same mis-tune with some requesting the Ulama council to come out with an edict whilst some questions TG Nik Aziz statement and so forth.

Unfortunately, Utusan Malaysia failed to express what is really said by TG Nik Aziz. And this is not the first time this thing happens on Tg Nik Aziz. Prior to this, the same newspaper has issued an apology for reporting wrongly. Didn't the newspaper learn from its mistakes? Or are they too obsessed to corner someone until they failed to fulfil journalism ethics? Or is the said reporter did not understand Bahasa Malaysia?

If another reporter from Utusan Malaysia group did not understand the word "ultra vires" as reported in Karpal Singh's seditous trial, does this reporter failed to understand the concept of Imam and Islam? Or is it possible that Utusan Malaysia's reporter did not know who is TG Nik Aziz as what RTM's reporter pemberita RTM did not know Karpal Singh is from which party ? Is this the standard of Malaysian journalism?

Although UMNO is not Utusan Malaysia and Utusan Malaysia is not UMNO but the fact is Utusan Malaysia will always uphold UMNO and to Utusan Malaysia's views what is done by UMNO is totally correct at all times. Is this reality or virtual realism? In the past, majority of the masses refer to Utusan Malaysia as their source for news. That was then and now the masses prefer to believe alternative media more due to Utusan Malaysia's tendency to be more UMNO tahn UMNO itself.

Finally, Utusan Malaysia drop in sales and were not trusted anymore. In the end, UMNO is the one who pay the price...not only interms of poor sales but also failed to win the hearts and minds of the masses. It is getting clearer now that UMNO is going to meet with another failure in Permatang Pasir, thanks to Utusan Malaysia...alas...maybe after this UMNO leaders will head to Bentong or Padang Besar to recover from their beatings. And the Towkays of massage parlours in Padang Besar/Bentong will be having a profitable field day receiving the "muhibbah" trips of UMNO leaders.


Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
