Kit Siang: RTM, not RT'BN'!

After confering a new title 'Minister of Mis-information' to Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin two days ago, Parliamentary Opposition Leader YB Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) today once again gave the RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) a new name - RT'BN' (Radio Televisyen Barisan Nasional).

The issue started when Kit Siang and another Deputy Information Minister Chia Kwang Chye (BN-Bukit Bendera) debated on the role and responsibilities of RTM in news reporting, in which was seen as giving a very biased coverage of news.

RTM was found guilty of not reporting the facts and exact number of people who had attended the BERSIH rally last Saturday.

Kit Siang stressed that the state-owned television station RTM should report the truth and give a 'free and fair' coverage to all news because it is ran by the taxpayers' money.

"RTM is not television station of BN. It is not RT'BN', but RTM - Radio Televisyen Malaysia!"

15th November 2007 - Dewan Rakyat, Parliament Malaysia.

RTM sepatutnya Radio Televisyen rakyat Malaysia bukan radio kerajaan. Tapi tak mengapa media eletronik dah canggih and globalise.Banyak alternative TVs to watch. such as CNN,BBC,Al-Jazeera dll. Tak kisah kalau kerajaan anti stesyen luar but their news contents are newsworthy dan lebih memberangsangkan minda and very informative for many viewers compared to RTM so stereotype,full of govt agenda and promos and so boringgggg!!!.

kesimpulannya, RTM sememangnya adalah agen kroni UMNO dan BN... sekian terima kasih....

I don't really think it matters much "who did it first"

all that matters is the truth and facts are presented to the masses as it is, without being doctored by the media

stupid menteri from BN.....

RTM is not for kerajaan, actually for negara malaysia

BN mis-use of RTM and give mis-information to people.

So memang betul that the menteri from BN should call menteri mis-information
