Boycott the Lying Newspapers!

surind

"From 24th March, 2008, commence a boycott of all the MSM for a period of one week. I urge that if at the end of that one-week boycott, the MSM continues to unjustifiably attack our Barisan Rakyat YBs, we resume our boycott of the MSM for a longer and more sustained period."

- The People's Parliament

This post is lengthy as I feel obliged to try and justify that which I now ask you to do.
