Phang claims political interference led to TV show on corruption topic ending 20 minutes earlier

Tan Sri Robert Phang, one of the members of the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission)’s Advisory Committee appeared on a live TV show on Bernama TV but found the time slot shortened by 20 minutes. The programmed, Hello Malaysia was supposedly a 1 hour show but the producers decided to cut short by 20 minutes for reasons unknown. The title for the show last Friday was ‘Graft and Corruption: The Ideological Challenges Ahead”. Phang was part of the panelist in the show which included Terence Fernandez, a deputy editor with local newspaper The Sun. While Fernandez gave his account of what happened in the newspaper, Phang said that the shortening of the show was due to political interference alleging that it was Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, the MCA youth chief who tried to stop the programme fearing that it might expose his involvement in the PKFZ (Port Klang Free Zone) issue.

Phang said ‘Certain MCA party members led by Dr Wee had exerted pressure on the producers to cancel the broadcast to prevent the panellists from discussing “sensitive issues” such as the PKFZ scandal. They also blocked all telephone calls to the show by viewers to black out comments,”

The answer is most obvious. We live in a country where the ruling political parties especially UMNO are corrupted to the core!!!!
Surely, they (these corrupted motherfathers) are not about to be paraded in the National TV programme exposing their shit....
If there comes a day, where graft and corruptions are tackled seriously by the govt..... not a chance with the present mob.... perhaps, a change of govt, then maybe, we see a silver lining at the end of the rainbow.

and they would have added 20 minutes if it would have been for their advantage! smilies/grin.gif All Malaysians know that!

see how powerful this BN beggar are, they can STOP a program even on air!!!

Najis and his filthy UMNO group had called their slave Wee from MCA to do anything to stop the live interview from proceeding as it will shatter their already septic reputation.
