Freedom of Media?

12th General Election is just around the corner. Over the past week I'd read a lot on what's been said and written. One major thing I noticed is that all newspaper has never publish the campaigns launch by opposition parties.

What's been written and published were all the personal attacks, unsporting and ungentlement like of speech given by the so-call BN candidates. I just couldn't imagine if these people were to be elected to lead our government. They all acted like child-play through the campaigns, starting all kind of unrelevant personal attacking, even the educational minister, DPM, PM and other high ranked ministers.

In other view, opposition launch attacks on BN candidates based on their inability to fulfil their promises made, and proves were even shown on some case, and they now act more like a matured and responsible candidates. Unlike previous elections, these oposition candidates do make survey and studies prior to their speeches.

But all these were never ver going to be shown to the public because it's a case of showing the incapability of the dissolved government to lead our country moving forward, and also trying to implemented an image that oppositions are doing nothing, where BN were everywhere.

I think most voters now are generally smarter and more educated comparing to previous. So hopefully we will have a fair and square straight fight between BN and oppositions, at the same time giving media to publish the truth of everything, not just siding one party and ignoring the others
