MCMC visits Malaysiakini's office again

It seems that the MCMC (Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission)’s investigation on local news portal Malaysiakini is set to continue after they visited the office again in their investigation of the cow-head videos.

7 members of the MCMC visited Malaysiakini and demanded for the original tapes of the 2 videos which they have instructed the news portal to remove. Mohd Syukri Jamaluddin led the team which includes 3 digital forensics experts also interviewed Mohd Kamal Ishak, the cameraman who covered the post-meeting press conference by Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein with the cow-head protestors.

MCMC has accused Malaysiakini to have contravened the Communication and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998 and according to Abdul Halim Ahman, the Senior Acting Director of the Monitoring and Enforcement Division, posting the 2 videos in their portal "is an offence under Section 211/233 of the CMA". According to Steven Gan, the Editor-in-Chief of Malaysiakini, who said that they will not take down the videos, “Our intent in putting up the videos was not to 'annoy' anyone, but to do our job as journalists to draw attention to the protest and to ensure action is taken so that incidents like this will not happen again in Malaysia."

The Federal Governemnt under the PM is supposed to SERVE the Nation. This kind of "dirty mafia" Aggression and "attack" upon an Independent Malaysian owned News firm is TOTAL "MISUSE OF POWER" and persecution by Force?

It is time WE MALAYSIANS STAND UP PEACEFULLY AGAINST THIS KIND OF HARASSMENT UPON ANY ONE WHO IS |"NOT GUILTY" of any crime until Charged and sentenced.

BN Umno Najis wanted to shut up the true MEDIA mouth!!!
we wait and see Najis and Hisapmudin using ISA to close Malaysiakini...

No need you MCMC or MACC or MCACMMMC meddle with FACTS. We want to see REAL and FACTUAL news. Not twisted and racist news from the MSM!!! Hands off and do your job properly. Don't get GAJI BUTA doing these silly trivial stuffs.


The MACC, FBI and CIA are out to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals.



The US President decides to give them a test. He releases a
rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

First the CIA goes in. They place animal informants
throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral
witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations
they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

Next the FBI goes in. After two weeks with no luck they
burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the
rabbit, and they make no apologies.. The rabbit had it coming.

Finally the MACC goes in. They come out two hours later
with a badly beaten wild boar..

The wild boar is yelling:

"Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
