Charles Santiago : Who Are - Utusan Malaysia, Chamil Wariya and Ibrahim Ghaffar - Working For?
Posted by ari on Oct 19, 2008 in Uncategorized • 1 commentI strongly condemn the recent poem published in Utusan Malaysia, subtly likening DAP parliamentarian and a close friend Teresa Kok to a dog. I also denounce the indirect insinuations on Kok in a short fictional story which is about the assassination of a female Chinese lawmaker.
The decision to publish these articles shows blatant disregard by the editorial team of the broadsheet to ethical and credible journalism.
It is even more shocking to note that the fictional piece was written by the Malaysia Press Institute CEO Chamil Wariya. Chamil’s position carries the need for him to instill the practice of responsible journalism among media workers. But he has simply failed to do so and instead acted in the most irresponsible fashion.
