Newspaper Scam

** The author would like to ascertain that he does not mean to disrespect the Yang DiPertuan Agong in any way, and he hopes that he will not get remanded under the Seditious Act **


Today is the birthday of the Sultan of Terengganu, or you could call it Agong's birthday since they are one and the same. So first of all I would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday!



Today is also the day where newspaper agencies rejoice and have a relatively relaxing day. Now why do I say that? Let's take one particular well-known newspaper as example.


Not only was today's issue thin as hell, it was practically filled with page-length Daulat Tuanku's sponsored by each and every corporation and companies.

Where mah news?

Now I'm okay with all these I'm-trying-to-please-the-King act they're doing here, I'm also okay with the fact that newspaper agencies are trying to cash in on advertisement revenues, but NOT at the fucking expense of my news content. Practically HALF the newspaper was yellow.


Now some observant people might start with the But-New Straits Times-is-always-thin-on-weekends bullcrap, and yeah, I've observed that too, as opposed to The Star's super thick weekend copies. But on those weekends, half of its pages WEREN'T yellow.

Feeling cheated now?

But I prefer NST.Compare NST and Star's layout.
Every page in the Star is crammed with ads,big or small.It is a headache,esp when one wants to focus on the news only,without the eyes straying elsewhere to read ads(at the corner of the page or wherever it is).
Haiya!!

That is exactly why I wrote some Forewords for the reading pleasure of our Home Minister.

And Kah Ee, Star is pro-government while NST is pro-opposition. :D
