News Blackout would Backfire

Almost every noght I buy Sinchew Jit Poh to see if there is exciting news in Sibu by election. To my dismay. there is a total news blackout. It is either the daily has been warned or due to some personal agenda, the Sinchew decides not to publish the news about the by election.

The readers spend money , trying to get information from the newspapers. When the newspapers decide to hide the news, not to publish it or publish half truth, then they would all end up like Utusan, Star, Nanyang , China press and others which are only fit to be the propaganda mouth piece of UMNO and MCA. The newspapers lost their relevance. It is time they shut down.

When people cannot get truth from the mainstream nespapers, people will then rely on the internet. By imposing self censorship, the mainstream newspapers are committing suicide.

Dear readers, would you spend one dollar or two to buy newspapers that tell no truths but lies?
