Journalists Boycotting Parliament's Event

The Heandline printed with black ink and the cameras of journalists on the floor in Dewan Parlimen.

This morning when I read the newspaper, I noticed that the headline of the newspaper is in black. This will only happen when there is VVVIP in our country pass away or there are terrible visitation of providence happen that cause huge amount of dead. Fortunately none of those happen. What is really going on to the headline? Is it an error printing?

Well, there is no error in this headline. The headline printed in black is for mourning the dead of freedom of Media in Malaysia. “Where’s our freedom go?” For sure this is what our Malaysia’s journalists will ask.

This happened yesterday in Dewan Parlimen Malaysia where all the journalists were being deny entering the main part of the lobby and only allowed access to a small corner of the area. This has once again created the new record not only in Malaysia but all over the world and proved the slogan of “ ‘We’ can” to be the 1st ever country that deny journalists to enter the main part of the Parliament’s lobby.This was done to increase the effectiveness of security system in Dewan Parlimen Malaysia.So does the Malaysia’s journalists been treated as terrorist? As a sign of protest, most of the journalists boycotting the even held in the main lobby.

Personally I have no comment on this incident because me too, scare of lost my freedom(jail).Although my blog doesn’t have a high traffic but the risk is still there.
