Blogger's ethics

The PM has spoken about it. Minister Hishamuddin has now weighed in.

Yes. I fully agree with the PM and MInister Hishamuddin. All writers must follow ethics. They must be responsible. The must report the truth. They should not plagiarise. Plagiarism is a theft. They should follow the law. They must be responsible. If they make a mistake, they should make corrections as soon as the mistakes are discovered. If they quote from somewhere else, they should acknowledge the original work and writer from whom they quote.

This should apply to every writer, be it journalist, bloggers or whatever. I fully support and agree with the calls made by the PM and Minister Hishamuddin.

I hereby give my word and promise that I will adhere to those ethical standard.

In short, I will not do this:



Especially when the original is this:




Let's all of us be ethical.

ALL OF US.

Ethics? I thought that would be a dirty word in UMNO & BN? Why crying about ethics now Najib & Hisham? You have lost that long time ago lar! As what Mahathir said "corrupted to the core". So why bother about ethics? As Ahmad Said would say "It's just like a traffic offence" when his son was caught with child pronography on his handphone


When you did a survey on the ISA issue on the Home ministry website, you changed the results!!! When Utusan instigate racial riot, you keep quiet!! What kind of ethics is that?

This is no longer a joke when UMNO thinks that only NST and the other rubbish newspapers write only the truth and nothing but the truth. So the lies had become the truth for them.

I really hope that GE13 goal will be achieved as we could not live in an environment where lies are the truth
