Lihat kami dari sudut positif! - Rockybru

MStar | Presiden pro tem National Bloggers Alliance merangkap penasihat Kelab Media Kebangsaan, Ahirudin Attan, yang memblog dengan nama Rocky's Bru berharap kaedah memblog dapat dilihat dari sudut positif.

"Memberi gambaran negatif tentang memblog atau para bloggers menggambarkan seolah-olah kita sedang menuju balik ke zaman batu dan primitif. Kita sudah melalui perkara ini dulu," kata Ahirudin sebagai kenyataan balas terhadap Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi yang berkata tindakan menyebarkan fitnah dan pembohongan melalui internet dan SMS untuk mewujudkan persepsi negatif rakyat terhadap kerajaan adalah perbuatan khianat.

Semalam, Abdullah mengingatkan rakyat supaya tidak melayani dan mudah terpengaruh dengan pelbagai fitnah dan pembohongan yang disebarkan menerusi laman blog dan YouTube.

Ahirudin berkata beliau turut terkilan dengan label pengkhianat yang ditujukan kepada para bloggers.

Perdana Menteri turut menyelar perbuatan menyebarkan fitnah melalui internet dan SMS itu sebagai melanggar prinsip Rukunegara seperti Kesetiaan Kepada Raja dan Negara, Keluhuran Perlembagaan, Kedaulatan Undang-undang serta Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan.

"Sekiranya ada unsur fitnah atau hasutan dalam mana-mana blog atau laman web, maka pihak berkuasa hendaklah mengambil tindakan dengan kadar segera," kata Ahirudin lagi.... selanjutnya.

Malaysian bloggers on strike

Rockybru

I do solemnly and sincerely join Marina and my blogging bros in declaring meluat (utter disgust) at politicians and their machais who are taking Malaysian politics and Malaysians down into the pits of shame in the name of their own glory.

I blame one man for our woes. I blame the Prime Minister. Abdullah Badawi's Administration must stop gambling with our future as a nation. It should go back to work to revive our dwindling economy. Bring back the top economists to take charge of our economy instead of leaving it to bankers, corporate leaders, politicians, and the people at Khazanah.

And Politicians! Stop politicizing Altantuya, sodomy, statutory declarations, the judiciary, the police, and the people's wellbeing.

You are there to do a job, so let's see you start doing it.

Meanwhile, our poor farmers are being buggered, too!

rockybru - Crime against the poor. While the politicians are busy buggering each other with conspiracy theories, unscrupulous people are screwing up our poor farmers and their families by stealing fertilizer meant for these farmers.

(click on picture to enlarge)

These people make tonnes by repacking Sabsidi Kerajaan Malaysia* fertilizer by truckloads and selling them in the commercial market with the help of insiders at Nafas, the National Farmers Association, the people entrusted to help these farmers.

World news ... and why I published the pic of the fiancee

rockybru

WHY? Saiful Bukhary has made a very serious allegation against Anwar Ibrahim. If he is telling the truth, then he's done a most courageous thing by going to the police. If he's telling a lie, then it's a most despicable deed.

Either way, Saiful has made himself a very public figure. Once investigation starts, his own character will come under scrutiny. If this goes to court, his whole life will be placed on public display. The people around him, especially those close to him, will become objects of scrutiny as well.

His fiancee, we must assume, knows him inside out. She is not under age and she is not a mere bystander. She will have a story to tell, too, and her story could shed light on this issue that has left us with more questions than answers.

In the pursuit for the truth, newspapers have to make many unpopular calls. Often, an editor has to decide whether to publish a certain picture or not. I am no longer in the newspaper, but the mind works the same way, without malice.... selanjutnya.

Natasha Hudson's hubby is new AP King?

rockybru - [...] You've probably heard of Shahrin Zahari as the husband of model-turned-actress Natasha Hudson. That image is about to change. Shahrin has just secured a government approval for some 1,200 open approved permits (AP) for hybrid cars which will make him one very hot player in the auto industry.

Word is the Government is going to provide a lot of tax breaks for Shahrin's hybrid car venture come budget time as part of the Prime Minister's new drive to inculcate frugal living as a solution to the fuel price woes.... selanjutnya.

Sime Darby's president/CEO says he was just following orders.

Rockybru - [...] How is his view different? We don't know. But the writer Kathy Fong tells us that Zubir is infuriated by accusations that he the sacking was a "purge" of Golden Hope officials in the company.

"This has infuriated Ahmad Zubir who says he was merely following a decision that was taken by the Board, which has been described by some as being tough and attuned to high governance standards. The Sime board comprises people such as Tun Musa Hitam and Andrew Sheng (former chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission), who are known for their highly ethical corporate standards."

Musa Hitam known for "high ethical corporate standards"? Since when? I mean, it's something else if you say that Musa Hitam is known for "high ethical political standards". And even then, you will be inviting controversy!... selanjutnya.

CEO & CFO of a GLC to get 100 % wage increase?!

Rocky Bru

B l a t a n t.
I hope what I heard is not true, that the CEO/President of this major Government-Linked Company, together with his Chief Financial Officer, are going to get a 100 per cent increase in their pay package!

If the CEO is getting a RM50,000 package now, he'll be getting RM100,000 a month. If the CFO is getting RM25,000 now, his package will swell to RM50,000!!!

If it's true that the Board of Directors of Tenaga Nasional Berhad has approved the increment (because that's what I have just heard, and they are just awaiting Pak Lah's approval as Finance Minister), all the Government's talk about saving cost and changing lifestyles because of the higher petrol/diesel prices will sound so very hollow.

And the July tariff rate increase already approved for this GLC will face the greatest opposition of all time.

Guess who's calling for Press Freedom?

rockubru - [...] But what surprised me was to hear him call for greater Press Freedom, the repeal of draconian laws governing the Media and for "best reporting"practices, where only professional editors (as against politically-appointed ones, I later stressed during the panel discussion) lead the media.

Will he walk the talk? Let's see....selanjutnya [KLIK DI SINI]
