how can this cabinet minister said such things?!?.. am literally speechless... "toning down" reports will NOT trigger more violence and criminal activities!... absolute rubbish!... in fact, if things were to be swept under the carpet and without notifying the nation properly wat's happening, this will no doubt breed more criminals then...
as reported... "Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said some of the reports in the media were very graphic, which could trigger more violence and criminal activities.
“The media should try not to create too much sensation or glorify news to the extent of getting people excited and involved in crime,” he told reporters"...
too much sensation or glorify news can extent of getting people excited and involved in crime?!?!?!?... if so, wat kinda remarks is this lah?!?...
as reported... "“Of late, a lot of stories on murder cases and snatch thefts have been featured in the newspapers and on television, and the culprits could have emulated the violence they see or read about,” he added. "...
might as well ban csi, kisah benar, 999, edisi siasat, etc. altogether... since this kinda shows may also create and/or some sort give criminals idea/s as to how to go around creating crime...
am totally lost with wat this mamak minister said...
Media urged to tone down reports
SUNGAI PETANI: The media has to “tone down” reports on crime and violence.
Information Minister Datuk Zainuddin Maidin said some of the reports in the media were very graphic, which could trigger more violence and criminal activities.
“The media should try not to create too much sensation or glorify news to the extent of getting people excited and involved in crime,” he told reporters after visiting the parents of 26-year-old hotel housekeeper Azlini Azmi who was found murdered in Sunway Mentari at Bandar Sunway in Petaling Jaya on Tuesday.
Azlini’s body was found with slash wounds on her chin, neck and torso.
Zainuddin said the frequent television footages of the war and bombings in Iraq and violence shown on television would create a certain impact among viewers.
“Of late, a lot of stories on murder cases and snatch thefts have been featured in the newspapers and on television, and the culprits could have emulated the violence they see or read about,” he added.
Zainuddin also presented Azlini’s parents Azmi Mohd Nayan, 48, and Che Zainah Othman, 46, with a RM3,000 donation.
