Junior street reporter's confession:
Rockybru, I read every post on his blog, especially about politics, "Zaman Dulu-dulu", "Pada ketika itu". His view on the report: Anwar Ibrahim who was "hyped" as the initiator of the eastward policy. This topic was reported by a Free Malaysian Today journalist, Ali Cordoba.
Look East Policy was Anwar Ibrahim's, according to writer Ali Cordoba who, according to Free Malaysia Today, writes extensively on local politics. Very extensively, indeed! Hehe. Malaysians - and Japanese - know better, however: the Look East Policy is the brave brainchild of Dr Mahathir when he became PM in 1981. At a time when nations were looking up at the West, the Statesman guided the nation to look at the dynamics of Japan, China and South Korea. Now they claim that "Look East Policy" was not Dr Mahathir's idea
Rocky's more 'centrist', Regarding 'UMNO', he's okay with my stance even though I am 'young, dumb and broke'. Even though I did not explain in more detail. This Rocky-Tactical-Thinking should be emulated by all journalists.... 'If only they read his blog'.
However, there is a group of 'Seniors' who are not very happy or 'worried' when I bring this 'UMNO' sentiment, considering that some of them are 'experienced' in the field of journalism. They chose the 'One Eyed Flag' which is more 'Modern' and 'New'. Want to fight corruption? The truth is that this group only pick holes in the plan. Especially for "Miss Kajai".
The reality: when I go down to the field and ask the Rakyat about this and that "reports", they are not very sensitive, and some know more behind the reports, regarding the truth.
I hope to be able to display a screen-shot of a WhatsApp group conversation of the 'senior' journalists' views regarding the 'state government'. But I still have the Ethics...
Very sad, I may be 'only worth RM2000', 'UMNO' is 'not what it used to be' in the eyes of the people.
Hope to be in the era of: Rockybru, ZRA and Mazidul Akmal Sidek. Because journalists today are more towards "Awards". Now young journalists are following this chain. But not all of them ( bagi ayat selamat ), and I believe they will be 'eliminated' if they don't play it safe.
A little sensational clue: The rakyat started to like UMNO-PAS-MCA-MIC and others.
P/S to FNK, I am safe with UMNO or other political parties. I just can't get an answer from dot dot dot.
