Mainstream Media Reporting Style.

Last three councillors named

AS CAN BE SEEN AND READ IN THE NST OF 30TH APRIL 2008 AND REPRODUCED WORD BY WORD AS SHOWN BELOW. THIS IS HOW THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA REPORTS AN EVENT OR A NEWS. WHAT'S THE NECESSITY TO ADD THE 'ANTICIPATION OF SOME OTHER PERSON WAS SUPPOSED TO BE APPOINTED. IF THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA DO ANTICIPATE AND SPECULATE, WHAT ABOUT CREDIBILITY. CAN WE RELY ON THEM FOR NEWS? ARE THEY REPORTING NEWS OR ARE THEY MERELY TELLING US STORIES?

PEKAN: The last three Pahang state executive councillors were named minutes before the swearing-in ceremony before Sultan Ahmad Shah this morning.

The other two are Bukit Ibam assemblyman Mohamad Sahfri Ab Aziz and the representative for Inderapura Shafik Fauzan Shariff. Both are second term assemblymen. They joined eight others whose appointment to the 11-member executive council was announced on March 13. Sahfri, who was the first to be sworn in at Istana Abu Bakar, said at 33, he considered himself young for the post.
"However, I believe the trust and responsibility given by the menteri besar will make me a better leader," he added. The councillors are expected to be told their portfolios today.Earlier, it was widely anticipated that Kuala Sentul state assemblyman Datuk Shahaniza Shamsuddin would replace Datuk Maznah Mazlan who had been appointed as the Deputy Natural Resources and Environment Minister.Maznah was the first and only woman in the previous executive council.

Apabila YB Dato' Adnan Yaakob dilantik sebagai Menteri Besar Pahang, beliau telefon saya bertanya samada saya hendak tak datang ke Kuantan bekerja dengan dia. "Sam, Long ingat elok awak berubah angin. Mari datang Kuantan kerja dengan Long". Begitu lah kata-kata beliau. Kebetulan tahun 1999 itu saya kurang betul menumpukan perhatian kepada kerja-kerja sebagai lawyer. Anak saya baru meninggal pada 20hb August 1998. Dato' Adnan dilantik sebagai MB pada 25hb Mei 1999. "Come lah work with me. We see how I can place you in the MB's Office" Begitu lah Long Nan beritahu saya. "Boleh lah Long. Setahun dua boleh kot. I like myself more as lawyer, Long...." "OK...mari lah setahun dua" Itu jawab Dato' Adnan. "Tapi Long tak boleh lah bagi awak gaji besar Sam...." Sambung Dato' Adnan. "Kita tengok lah mana yang sesuai". Tambah beliau. Pada mulanya sejak bulan Mei 1999 itu saya hanya berulang alik KL-Kuantan. Tujuan...

Prerogative of Mercy. Beg Your Pardon...

Ada terpandang video oleh Zaid Ibrahim tentang Pardon. Dia kata itu Prerogative of Mercy oleh Agong dan Raja2. High Prerogative of Mercy....or something like that lah. Itu betul. Tapi kalau nak kata process itu tidak ada procedure tak betul lah. Perlembagaan kita dan Akta Penjara telah tetapkan procedure nya. Agong & Raja2 juga perlu bertindak ikut Perlembagaan dan Undang2. Maka itu lah sebabnya digelar Raja Berperlembagaan. Dalam Perlembagaan ditetapkan mesti diadakan Pardons Board yang dipengerusikan oleh Tuanku sendiri. Antara lain Pardons Board itu akan bermesyuarat, pertimbangkan Petisyen yang dikemukakan, dapatkan nasihat dan pandangan ahli Pardons Board itu dan minta nasihat dan pandangan dari Peguam Negara. Bukan macam cerita filem purba. Bukan macam cerita Sultan Melaka ampunkan Hang Tuah untuk tujuan suruh bertikam dengan Hang Jebat. Bukan sebab Sultan Melaka menyesal tersalah hukum Hang Tuah. Bukan ampunkan Hang Tuah sebab Hang Jebat handal sangat dan hanya Hang Tuah sah...

Lawyer setengah lepas enam/ Half past six?

Ada lawyer yang true blue, well cooked and clever. Ada yang opposite dari yang disebut itu. Kalau Mahkamah perintahkan seseorang itu dihukum mati maka permohonan untuk hukum penjara seumur hidup itu terbatal lah dengan sendirinya! Sama lah juga kalau Mahkamah perintahkan lesen memandu si Anu itu dibatalkan maka semua sekali lah batal baik kelas B dan D atau apa-apa kelas pun. Jangan lah pulak kata, si Anu itu masih boleh pakai Lesen L dia sebab mahkamah tak sebut pun dalam perintahnya. Kalau Mahkamah batalkan keputusan dan perbuatan Speaker mengantung kehadiran ahli Dewan maka akibat dari perintah itu, ahli Dewan itu bolehlah hadir dan turut serta prosiding Dewan itu seolah-olah apa yang Speaker buat itu tidak pernah wujud! Itu pun susah nak faham ke? Jangan lah jadi loyar buruk . Half past six !
