new dictator in town

IF given a chance, this will be posted in every newsroom in this country.

It is well known for the lack of transparency when it comes to reporting in this country, but recent days has also seen the sports pages- once regarded as the virgins of dictatorship- has now been sinned.

And it is said this is all thanks to a new dictator in town from the National Sports Council- whom sadly was a former journalist himself.

While it is not a practice to thrash a fellow journo, especially after the good he has deliever for the local sports pages, such an attitude only erases all the past and makes him a mockery instead.

This is what happens when people planted by the government are given too much freedom. With power, abuse happens and this leads to an unfavourbale decision even among the media practisioners.

From media personels unable to waltz into the National Sports Council, harassing reporters after a critical report has been published to even lodging complaints to the media owners with regards to such criticism certainly leaves a bad taste to both the readers and writers.

Goes to show how people without backbones turn the table where money is concerned. Too bad it has gone down the wrong road for you Mr Dictator, or the new Darth Vader of Malaysian Sports as said by one newspaper.
