SHAME! SHAME!

Open Letter to the Editor-in-Chief of the Star newspaper

Attn: Datuk Wong Chun Wai

On October 11th the Star published a very biased article against me, claiming that I said that I will sacrifice some of my colleagues so that I can be appointed to the Cabinet if Im elected President.

Your reporter and editorial team went all out to put words in my mouth and to paint me as a power hungry man.

In good faith I asked for a correction from your newspaper, which you agreed to do the next day.

However to my disappointment on October 12th you published an article saying that I claimed that my statement was taken out of context.

I wish to be very clear. I never made the sacrifice statement.

Your newspaper should have issued an apology for putting words in my mouth.

Datuk Wong Chun Wai, a man of your experience and knowledge would already have known the President of MCA always has the prerogative to submit a list of the ministers and deputy ministers from his party to the Prime Minister. This does not make the MCA President a power hungry man.

Very fortunately, knowing your editorial teams bias my campaign team recorded the interview on camera to ensure your honesty.

This video will show how the reporter attempted to make me seem power hungry but was instead given a free lesson on the Malaysian political process.

I have uploaded this video to Youtube for all Malaysians to see.

This blatant attempt to discredit a candidate not aligned to your political masters is the same reason why I fought against the Nanyang takeover.

I am certain many Malaysian's share in my disappointment with the lack of journalistic integrity displayed by your newspaper.

Most of journalist today is (Penyangak Rakyat) adherent. They will condemn and put yr face down in their article if u in government side. They will try to make u angry, do mistake/error statement and find yr weakness. But don't worry if u in the opponent side. They will appointed u like an angel for all the citizens. U are spokesman for Malaysian although u not win last election. Government must firm in action taken. ISA useful to demolish them. But Dato CJM don't worry, u now safe with PKR :-)

Ok. This guy used to be under BN flag. I do not at any time support the BN-based party. But, to a single or looking on a single person as a leader ... i had les experiences of listeing or watching this guy talk. But, thru this video - seems Jui Meng knows what he talk about. I believe that BN again kicked out all the good leaders. Even if he said that he quit ... BN left no more leaders ... but morons ...

The most rediculous, immatured, naive, idoitic, non-sensicle and one way ticket reporters that, I have come across in my travels over the years, are the Malaysian Reporters. If you don't beleive me, ask your neighbouring state reporters and they will tell you.

Our reporters, line of questioning is like a dictation,, "sir, is this what you said and the minister says, yes and that will be in the newspapers".

From this tube, what a shit reporter she is.
