The Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Malaysian media is totally dependent on the so-called wire services (Reuters, AP, AFP, etc) for foreign news. As a result there has been no report on the Israeli desecration of the al-Aqsa mosque and the beating up of Palestinian Muslims who wanted to pray there.
I don’t think the Malaysian media is deliberately blacking out news which are not in favour of Israel but if they depend solely on the wire services they would always be unfair to the victims of Israeli brutalities.
We read very little about the blockade of Gaza and the sufferings of the people there.
What Israel is doing is illegal, but such is the control that Israel exercises on the international media that it can actually openly commit genocide and nothing would happen to it.
These are the people whom we had sympathised with because the Nazis of Germany tried to wipe out. Now they are the ones doing the very thing they, or their forebears had suffered from in the past.
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim
The Singapore Straits Times on Tan Sri Khalid contains one error.
Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim was not the CEO of the (Malaysian) Government investment vehicle Permodalan Nasional which “pulled off an infamous dawn raid” on the London Stock Exchange by taking over Britain‘s Guthrie Corporation in 1981.
The officer involved with the raid was Dato’ Desa Pachik, the first CEO of Permodalan Nasional.
