>I wonder what would MGG Pillai (sangkancil moderator) and Brother Lim Kit 
>Siang feel now that the
>PM has out of a sudden made a statement from London declaring his fitness
>and state of health and dismissing the many rumours and speculation about a
>certain "mishap" in Argentina involving an old senile leader and a
>  "friendly" four legged mammal who could not understand English.
>
>MGG Pillai, together with Lim Kit Siang and a host of other opposition
>supporters, have been gleefully bombarding our senses with news that the PM
>had fallen off a horse and that all was not well with the man. We even 
>heard
>later that the PM had succumbed to illness and that his condition is far
>from "stable". These messages are of course not carried on the mainstream
>media, which fortunately decided it was too "controversial" to publish 
>them.
>But the net, the O My Freedom Bell bastion of unfettered and therefore the
>"no need to be responsible and truthful here" democracy, became abuzz with
>such speculation. And as expected, some poorly misinformed foreign presses
>caught on the idea and began to print the rumours on account of increasing
>their circulation.
>
>The Stock Exchange, the centre of rumours in the country, reacted as
>expected, dipping and dipping. And the government too, in not placing 
>enough
>urgency to allay such fears, maybe could not reach the old man, who had
>actually gone on a cruise. Thus the statements made were either too short 
>or
>unconvincing enough, to the opposition at least.
>
>Well, before we start arguing on the rights of the people of Malaysia to
>know of the condition of our PM or that the opposition is sincere in its
>intention to find out the truth about the PM, the truth has already been
>revealed.
>
>The PM is well and fine when interviewed in London. I do not know how many
>reporters were there and what transpired during the interview, but
>nevertheless the PM is still alive and kicking (much to the disappointment
>of Brother Anwar). That the rumours of his accident were dismissed as mere
>lies further add ammo to the PM's attack.
>
>Clever old man he is, and yet to be bested when it comes to political
>manouvering. Out of the blue, when all seems to be lost for the government,
>the PM asserted his panache by holding a press conference in London to slam
>these rumours.
>
>This negatively affects the credibility of MGG, Lim and all those who have
>spread the rumours. And in a sense, he scored a minor political victory
>against the opposition yet again.
>
>So now the BA's news and speculations are seen to be lies intended to
>destablise the country and the stock market. This in turn questions the
>integrity and sincerity of their reports and statements, and whether there
>was no ill intent involved when they made it. And boy oh boy, the BA will 
>be
>forced to back-pedal and be on the defensive. What with their planned
>boycott of the mass-media beginning on Federal Territory Day. And now we
>have but to question the legality or truth behind the news to be printed 
>and
>published by the BA's media hands during the boycott. How can we totally
>trust the BA's news to be true during the boycott when all this while they
>have been spreading rumours which were unfounded and yet to be proven true?
>How can we disregard the daily media's news when we suspect the validity of
>their reports?
>
>Is it fair now to say that the BA's call for the mass boycott is not
>actually aimed at teaching the mass media a lesson in fair reporting, but
>actually to expose Malaysians to the opposition's style of news and rumour
>mongering? Can we deduce from this fiasco of truth from the BA that they 
>had
>failed this simple test - that of not yielding to political temptations to
>glorify themselves and abusing the issue for their means? If the mass-media
>is portrayed as pro-BN hogwash machinery abused for the sake of the
>government, can't we deduce the same for the BA's media hands?
>
>The fact that most of their coverage are now placed on the net or the
>Harakah could not and should not relieve them of their responsibility and
>duty towards fair and just reporting. Unfounded and downright ill intent
>coverage of the whole issue could be clearly siphoned out from MGG's 
>pieces.
>To also question the PM's decision to skip Davos only propels the issue to
>Mars. Of course the PM can't sit in a panel consisting of Soros and Peres.
>It would be unjust to the sanctity of our economic strategies and also a
>slur to Muslims should he be engaged in a discussion with these people.
>
>And thus the PM's health has again been the major issue and as usual abused
>by the opposition and their supporters to question the integrity of the
>government. Whereas the old man is still able to kick some political butt,
>albeit not using a horse to do so. In fact, all we can see now are the BA's
>horses running and roaming along the countryside, but with no riders to
>point them the way home. Sad, isn't it?
