The pornography of unnecessary detail newspapers pointed out that the act that was filmed was one of ‘unnatural sex’ according to some and sodomy according to more detail-oriented accounts. As far as news goes, perhaps there is nothing wrong about the reports — the facts had been stated, not sensationalised, and certainly the story, tragic as it is, was newsworthy. The question is whether it was necessary to point out what the precise nature of the infraction was. How necessary was it to highlight the fact that the husband sodomised his wife and filmed her? Was the fact that a husband would stoop to filming any act of sex with his wife and threaten to circulate a video not disturbing enough? The specific nature of the offence might increase reader interest given its apparent unnaturalness, but is there not a line that mainstream newspapers should respect and stay within?There are other instances of how seemingly factual news takes on a thin film of salaciousness in the manner in which it gets reported. The tragic saga of Fiza is another case in point. It is intriguing how throughout the whole saga Umno’s Ahmad Maslan says voters can pick wisely after knowing the truth about their candidate. We don’t talk about morality. We don’t preach
The government’s national reconciliation plan will be based on four key thrusts, namely social, political, government and international relations, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said.
Najib said in a statement that the cabinet members at their meeting today examined a plan to develop and promote an environment that was conducive to and would help promote national reconciliation through unity and consensus in the country.
He said the government’s plan was based on democratic principles.However, Najib said, the plan did not include the formation of any sort of unity government.“
We were given a strong mandate by the people to govern at the last general election and we intend to do so. However, we must look at becoming more inclusive in our activities and events.
“We are open to talking to all parties and we can use Parliament, including the setting up of bi-partisan committees to discuss issues affecting national unity,” he said.
Najib said he mooted the idea of national reconciliation after the the last general election, but various parties were not responsive to his appeals to come together.
“The legitimacy of the elections were even questioned by them and it was proven to be baseless. I am now heartened to see that the Opposition is calling for a consensus and I am sure they will welcome this new development,” he said.
“Unlike vague ideas about a consensus, the government’s national reconciliation plan will be based on four key thrusts, namely, social, political, government and international relations and going forward.
“I will lead the implementation of changes that we hope will bring all Malaysians closer together,” he added.Freedom to voice views will be defended. Najib said the freedom to voice one’s views would continue to be defended, but this must also be tempered with responsibility.
“In order for all this to succeed, we must all commit to avoid spreading lies and slander, finally putting to rest the politics of hate,” he said.
Najib said there was also a need to go back to the grassroots and re-engage with the people to build their commitment to the common vision of a peaceful, successful and harmonious Malaysia.
“We must also get our youths involved in these initiatives to unite the people. We must work towards a Social Unity Model that can help to ensure that unity remains a common objective in the activities of the next generation. Over the next few months, you will see changes that will help make Malaysia a stronger, more united and cohesive nation. I invite all Malaysians to join me on this journey,” he said .
In 2009, an unelected and scandal ridden successor took Badawi’s place with a new slogan 1Malaysia and a catchy PR (public relations) gimmick “People First, Perfomance Now“. Najib Tun Razak as the 6th Prime Minister with his ebullient and bumbling wife, Rosmah Mansor (ah, that self proclaimed First Lady!) by his side as one of his loyal and trusted advisors, moved aggressively to hype up his image. There was initial favorable public response to his 1Malaysia idea, but this has begun to fizzle out as the scandals refused to go away. An angry Mahathir returned as a card carrying Member of UMNO and we can expect him to inflict further damage to our national psyche, and to attack and embarrass Najib
THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS VERY FOCUSED ON NAJIB TUN RAZAK’S EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS. SURE, EVERY MALAYSIAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS. AND EVERY MALAYSIAN ALSO KNOWS ABOUT HIM GETTING CAUGHT IN A PORT DICKSON HOTEL ROOM WITH ZIANA ZAIN. IN FACT, ISA SAMAD EVEN HAD PHOTOGRAPHS OF NAJIB CLAD ONLY IN A TOWEL WITH THE DELICIOUS YOUNG THING IN HIS BED. AND ISA HANDED THE PHOTOGRAPH OVER TO THE THEN PRIME MINISTER TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD. (AND THAT IS WHY MAHATHIR JUST DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NAJIB WOULD CHOOSE ISA TO CONTEST THE BAGAN PINANG BY-ELECTION WHEN IT WAS ISA WHO
OUR UMNO RESPONSE TO A SCANDALOUS MESS IS NEAT AND CATEGORISED. CASH AND SEX ARE THE NORTH AND SOUTH POLE OF MASS INTEREST, EACH WITH A SPRAWLING MAGNETIC FIELD. WE DIVIDE THE HEMISPHERES WITH THE EQUATOR OF LOGIC. CASH AND CORRUPTION ARE THE PRESERVE OF POLITICS. SEX IS THE PROVINCE OF GLAMOUR

Meanwhile, enjoy this wonderful rendition of I Will Always Love You from Ziana Zain. Rosmah Mansor cannot match or pegang lilin to Ziana vocal prowess la. Maybe should take singing lessons from ZianaNazri, in taking a swipe at Najib, said those who are prime minister must have high moral standards.“caught in the act of adultery”withZainaZainin Port Dickson, which is actually a smokescreen!!Najibhad indeed been caught with that actress, but not in Port Dickson but in a hotel inKualaLumpur.Najib’s special Branch officers had inserted the story of it being in Port Dickson in order to lay the ground for his alibi and it has now been conveniently covered up
