we seriously need an alternative newspaper!
I'm sick of the MSM. Look at the news theStar covered for KT by election TODAY (14th Jan 2008).Wan Farid keeps going – thanks to royal jelly
"Since the campaign period for the Kuala Terengganu by-election started, Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh has been getting just a couple of hours of sleep each day."
Excuse me, what kind of news is this? Have they really no any quality news to report?
If you browse through theStar, most of its news, if not all, are BN-related. There's hardly any room for the PR news.
Well, if there's really no other news to report, how about publishing what Guan Eng said in Ocean Restaurant, KT on Sunday night or during the press conference with PKR and PAS?
"If any problems occur, we will resolve it through musyawarah, that is through discussions. All three parties must hold discussions. And if a consensus is not reached, it must be discussed again. This means, should PKR and PAS agree to implement hudud and DAP disagrees, then it cannot be implemented. Everything must be discussed until all three parties agree." – Lim Guan Eng

It is also reported in Malaysiakini,
Hadi, Guan Eng grilled over hudud
"This means, should PKR and PAS agree to implement hudud and DAP disagrees then it cannot be implemented. Everything must be discussed until all three parties agree," he said.
And this piece of news is not carried in the so called "the People's Paper"!!
Anyway, these are other snippets of news on KT by-election from theStar today (14th Jan 2008)..

Hi Ee Chia,
Keep up your good works! Your blog has since evolved quite a bit. You tend to be more concerned about what is happening around Malaysia recently. Thanks for the pictures covering KT.
