Mainstream Media Reporting Style.

Last three councillors named

Sultan of Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah listening intently to (from left) Mohamad Sahfri Abdul Aziz and Shafik Fauzan Sharif while Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob looks on after the swearing in ceremony at Istana Abu Bakar yesterday.

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.

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

Setiausaha Politik selama 18 tahun (2000-2018)

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

Melayu Ada Kelas Ke? (Bab 2)

Prodigal Maestro membawa ingatan saya ke tahun 1985. Pada tahun itu saya memulakan karier sebagai seorang lawyer setelah letak jawatan dari Judicial & Legal Service. Saya berkenalan dengan Dato' Mohd Ariff Ibrahim (DMA). Beliau seorang akauntan dengan Hanafiah Raslan Mohamad (HRM). Di HRM saya juga kenal Hassan Merican, Toby Lam dan lain-lain. Itu pun kerana saya dengan legal firm Messrs. Gill & Tang dan PS Gill adalah rakan kongsi saya. PS Gill adalah bapa kepada Asha Gill. Ya... Asha Gill dalam Astro tu! DMA adalah orang Kelantan dan isteri beliau Tengku Fatihah Ibni Sultan Ibrahim (Ku Ah) saudara kepada Sultanah Johor dan juga Raja Permaisuri Perlis. Saya terpegun dengan kereta Rolls Royce mereka nombor plat DA 3 (Dato' Ariff 3). Kalau tidak silap hanya ada 9 lagi Rolls Royce yang dimiliki oleh orang Melayu selain dari yang dimiliki oleh Sultan, Raja dan Yang DiPertuan Negeri. Raslan tidak minat Rolls Royce dan lebih gemar kepada Porche (atau Ferrari...saya dah tak i
