Zambry has distanced himself from the Perak Information Department’s notice restricting the media coverage of the 7 May State Assembly proceedings to 13 pro-BN mainstream media organisations. Remarkably, he said the restriction was to ensure the comfort of journalists due to the limited space in the Dewan.
In a blog posting at 5.42pm, Zambry now says that “sesetengah media baru (new media) termasuk rakan-rakan blogger” would be allowed in. What does “sesetengah” mean? Who decides?
Walaupun arahan ini bukan datangnya daripada saya ataupun pejabat saya, adalah menjadi tugas saya untuk menjelaskan mengapa cadangan berkenaan dibuat oleh pegawai-pegawai kanan kerajaan negeri.
Sebab utama arahan itu dikeluarkan ialah kemampuan bilik media DUN untuk menampungi jumlah wartawan bagi memastikan keselesaan semasa membuat liputan. Ini adalah disebabkan jumlah yang akan menghadiri kali ini di luar jangkaan.
Bagaimanapun atas nama “kebebasan media” saya telah pun meminta Jabatan Penerangan untuk membenarkan semua media arus perdana termasuk akhbar-akhbar Cina dan Tamil untuk dibenarkan membuat liputan. Ini juga termasuk sesetengah media baru (new media) termasuk rakan-rakan bloggers.
This looks like face-saving backtracking by Zambry, after the Perak Speaker had indicated he would consider all media requests.
What a fraud this Zambry clown is. Want to bluff people also got no class in the way he does it. He thinks we are stupid and cannot see right though his nonsense, is it?

he makes a big mistake and instead of apologising, he backtracks and dump the blame on the state secretariat. that shows how much (or lack) dignity and integrity within him.
simply, i wouldnt touch him with a ten foot pole coz a leader must have undoubted integrity.
well, unless it is UMNO where it is even acceptable for one to be found guilty in money politics, yet remain as a leader of a state.
frankly, i dont know what sort of message is the dominant party sending out to the ordinary masses.

These people do not understand the importance of a free media in a democratic system. It will be their own undoing which I can’t welcome soon enough!

Haven’t we seen this before? Probably a hundred thousand times on BN channel. Each time something backfires, instead of apology or take responsibility, they tai-chi to someone else or they say the media misreported or whatever else they can cook up at the spur of moment. That’s leadership BN-style !!

Ever noticed how they stress on comfort? Whenever they’re being interviewed, it looks as if the sofa is going to swallow them up.
As children, we’d get a smack for sitting the way they do, never mind in public.

“sesetengah”, “rakan-rakan ”
- sounds selective to me
“… atas nama “kebebasan media” … membenarkan semua media arus perdana termasuk akhbar-akhbar Cina dan Tamil ….”
-by signaling out Chinese and Tamil papers specifically, is he trying to say that Chinese and Tamil papers have been made an exception this time round? These papers have been the mouth piece of BN (although Chinese papers do tend to be comparatively more balanced); why the need to sounding them off like that?
If he had not said anything or bar anyone in the first place, he would not attracted so much controversy.
Now at least the public can have different sets of interpretation to digest come the events for 7 May.

p.s. maybe Sivakumar’s instruction that all media be allowed has put him in a comparatively unfavourable light
If that is the case, this 1 round goes to Siva!

Typical response. When they make a boo boo and get attacked for their stupid decision, they go into defensive and then blame it on somebody else. How convenient.

Zambry thinks we are fools. If he claims to be unaware of the Information Dept ruling, how come he knows about the reason for the restriction?
In any case, should he not say that, the authority to make ruling pertaining to the media should come from the Speaker and that he himself has no business to interfere.
He is the most hated human being in Perak today!

Zambry is an idiot. In his attempts to keep his wrested but yet to be legally verified MB position, he is behaving like a wild man. He is lashing at everything and everyone. In the process he is damaging the constitution, the judiciary, the State Secetariat, The State Information Dept, Ipoh City Council, Police and the people of Perak.
He is a one man machine. A Darth Vader… A Death Star.
He has drawn the line between evil and good.

Seems like the BN crowd have not thought things through, hence all this backtracking and blame game.
Bottom line is that someone made that decision to limit media access and no one wants to own up. How to trust these clowns when crisis management is so poor and not only that, they create the crisis themselves !!!

Zambry realized he couldn’t stop the House Speaker from allowing the rest of the media in. So to try to keep from looking like a fool, he back-tracked. We all know he’s probably behind the words and actions of that state secretary. Love how the Star spins the move in it’s article today, making it look like it was all Zambry’s idea and that the Speaker is just following along. Disgusting. If it wasn’t for Section 2 and Metro which gives me info. on sales, talks and other happenings about town, I swear I’d cancel my subscription to these worthless MSM rags. They make me sick. It would be nice if online news portals could start covering information like that in Section 2 and Metro. Then I really would ditch my subscription.
