Is parliament under siege? Certaintly not from the outside. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am pissed with NST again. They came out with the 100 days report card on Sunday and gave a glowing report for Barisan based on own BN leader's own statements. For PR, they used MCA and ex Gerakan think thank and came out with a below par assestment.

We worry whether you will accept our invitations to come. We worry whether you will show up. We aorry that you may not catch what we say, so we always prepare press kits so that you can focus on listening instead of trying to take notes. We always prepare anticiapted questions and answers. We worry whether you will give us a good write up or even any write up. We even give you our mobile number and email address to call us up for clarification. We are happy if you want a one-to-one interview. Yes, the press is king. Now if you will please start treating the government people like corporate people, and expect them to show you the same coutesy, you will get respect from them. They need you more than ou need them. And we were also trained in the corporate that we should never argue with media people, and we should never belittle any of them even if we know the individuals involved know next to nothing in that topic. In fact we are pleased to even get a chance to do a little "selling of our goodness" to those individuals to win over their mindshare. Don't let the big titles of the dato and Tan Sri intimidate you. Look at them like another human being, and that they need your press write up, and they need a good write up. They have a lot at stake. You, on the other hand, are not paid that much, and you can get another job in the myriads of press companies, magazines, TV stations, etc or even work in corporate as PR executives, etc. You have a lot more options than you think, in case your editors cop out and don't support you. Lift your heads high when you deal with politicians. Be proud of your career, and don't accept shit from them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710203542819293503.post-74078027813955430482008-06-24T22:35:00.000+08:002008-06-24T22:35:00.000+08:00Datuk Wong,Now you are on thr right track!

Why? It is very simple. In the corporate world, we woo the press and try our best to improve rapport with the press. We like good news. And if there is any bad news, we hope the good rapport will soften the kind of bad news printed. Similarly the government folks need you too for the same reason. It is just that the press have forgotten that, or have been brainwashed, or intimidated by their big titles of dato and Tan Sri. But they NEED YOU, and don't you ever forget that. Just a piece of bad press for any govt figures will result in many days of frantic damage control activities by them.

Show them that the pen is mightier than the sword. How? Yeah, black out the BN propaganda. Black out their announcements. Boycott their press conferences. Make them send a limo to pick you up to attend their press conference before you cover their events. I tell you if you do this, you will never see another press blockade. They will even shiver in their pants if you are late in turning up at their events, worrying like shit that you may not show up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710203542819293503.post-12031518038408715582008-06-24T18:01:00.000+08:002008-06-24T18:01:00.000+08:00Mr Chun Wai,LETS GIVE THESE MPs THE TRUE MEANING a...Mr Chun Wai,<BR/><BR/>LETS GIVE THESE MPs THE TRUE MEANING and experience of the word "BLACK OUT" only then will they respect jurnos<BR/><BR/>Maybe select a few of these blabber mouths and cut them off, no coverage.<BR/><BR/>Now is the time, the Editorial board must protect its jurnos, enough of cow tauing ke ke kesinnersaint:saintsinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477016230047351854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710203542819293503.post-35995670477943504712008-06-24T16:53:00.000+08:002008-06-24T16:53:00.000+08:00Dewan Rakyat would be an oxymoron if the Rakyat (a...Dewan Rakyat would be an oxymoron if the Rakyat (and that include press people) are given limited access to the place.<BR/>In the old days, when the BN was in overwhelming numbers, you won't even see the kind of attendance of the YBs as you have now since they have no way of knowing when a division vote would be called.<BR/>So the need for them to be within the House is even more paramount, and therefore a place for them to meet people near the chambers is necessary.<BR/>This is mind boggling...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-710203542819293503.post-88079847504076131192008-06-24T16:31:00.000+08:002008-06-24T16:31:00.000+08:00aniritatedreporter, don't just talk and show your ...aniritatedreporter, don't just talk and show your displeasure on the blog.
