Integrity

"The leading Malaysian English daily, The Star, was closed down for a few months. In the weeks prior to Operation Lalang, The Star had continuously provided transparent news coverage about the Opposition's point of view. This construed treason as far as the government was concerned, and they were shut down under Malaysia's repressive sedition laws. The Star resumed publication months later under new management that was installed by UMNO. Most of the previous staff were laid off or otherwise threatened with prison and ISA.

From that point onwards, The Star, as well as many other media outlets in Malaysia, became government-controlled mouthpieces with an obvious pro-government slant. These media outlets were also noticeably whitewashing all of the UMNO government's wrongdoings and corruption. All the cover-up and whitewashing by the mass media became more obvious towards the late-90's, when another power struggle within UMNO (the Mahathir vs Anwar episode) revealed the extent of corruption and crimes among the UMNO executive that have never been revealed or reported."

So, that's why our media as of now is not transparent in reporting accurate facts. Since 1987 more specifically, it was controlled by people who don't want the truth to be revealed!

Read here on Operasi Lalang. How history is repeating itself this very moment.

But this time, I sincerely pray it is for the better. May Allah guide us towards the truth. For the progress of humanity rest on that very foundation we now seem to lack. Integrity.
