Hi Mansor b Puteh,

I agreed with you passionately on Freedom of the Press. But in this particular case, Theresa Kok, I think the Utusan may had carried it to far. Journalism is not a passport for hurling lies, and provoking unrest. Already, the issues had been well publicised. All the people involved can be contacted and the truth of the matter can be verified. Don't you think it is the responsibility of the Paper to verify the TRUTH.

After the TRUTH or FALSE of the issue is verified, then the necessary action had to be taken. It seems Utusan is not interested in the TRUTH. It is only interested to MILK the passion of the issue for a POLITICAL purpose, albeit a very dangerous purpose. If TRUTH is thrown out of the window in the name of PRESS FREEDOM, then what is FREEDOM of the PRESS???

Confused.

Hello the ugy that wrote that article.. cetek or chicken

Please sembayang really hard that nothing happen too our lovely Teresa Kok because if PR come to power you will either go to jail or go bankrupt. Because you will either be put on trial for instigation or civil suit with all your future earning going to her family. Is not too late offer apology but as usual you are UMNO bodek kaki so most likely not going to happen. Even if you do it will be half arse... So pray more my friend because your name is being engrave in Hell for you...

It is interesting to see-in support of Utusan Malaysia or not if we really talk about fair play. First, is there fair play at all in a place like ours? Many vocal media people- journalists, which I can only called one off, if not seasonal- no, I don’t trust many except RPK, the rest do it for and after something else, easily sulky.

When someone who claims to champion truth and justice turns around to support mainstream media that have indulged in mischief and lies, it is very telling that that person has sold out. The decent thing to do is resign from the fraternity of bloggers and show yourself as who you are, a wolf no more in sheep's clothing.

Hello friends, NEWS papers, be it Utusan or NST, they are just a media of raw data, and not information. It is we human being with sixth sense to analise the facts. News papers exist not to give info but make money for themselves.The goons with NO brain has to read this data and arrest YB KOK. Which also means that they do not have to work, just wait for morning news paper and start their work

Mansur, Call a defamation suit an Opposition ISA? Filing a lawsuit if the RIGHT of any Malaysian including for umno shitheads. Utusan also filed a lawsuit against Teresa Kok. So does that mean Utusan is also using the Opposition ISA? If you get jailed by the stupid botak using falsehood curned out by an umno newspaper, what would you do? Keep quiet? you will go balistic, wave the keris and then file a lawsuit. Also no one else but amno can use the ISA. Can the amno gomen give this weapon to the Pakatan?

Mansur Putih, Everyone wants freedom of the press to report on any news whether in favour or out of favour to any party. What the people want is the press to report the truth.

If not, those felt hard done by the press are entitle to sue the press including their “towkay”.

Lets say Utusan reported that you are commiting incest with your mother, if you know that this is nonsense and that the press is trying to discredit you, what would you do?

Freedom of press does not mean to use the media to run down somebody!

"defamation suits as the 'ISA' of the Opposition".

A defamation suit has to go through the court process, whereas ISA allows the gov't to detain a person without trial. Anyone with a bit of common sense could tell the difference between the two.

What kind of person can say that defamation suit is equal to ISA? Let me tell you the difference between the two. Defamation suit is used by people who are confident that the other party had done something wrong. Challenge them to prove that what they have done is true/correct. Give the other party a chance to defend. It is used by people with guts. ISA is used by cowards (mostly man with no balls) in the pretence for the benefit of the public. The other party had no chance of defending or even to prove that what they have done is true/correct.

What kind of person would say that they are same? Very very STUPID person. Will he sue me for calling him stupid? I think he won’t, it will give me a chance to prove that I am right. Most probably he will ask for ISA to be used as to him they are the same.

A jolly obfuscatory article by Mansor Puteh, the author opens with a statement that he is not an Utusan supporter then goes on a half baked dissertation on freedom of expression. Then he goes into a tirade of why the "liberal" crowd is not lighting candles in suppoer of Utusan's right to the same. He is quite clueless that these liberals and democrats idea of press freedom is reporting the truth without fear or favor. The Utusan is not seen as an independent journal but a shameless mouthpice of UMNO who in turn afford Utusan protection from the printinting, press and publications act that was invoked on other dailies simply for publishing true but politically dissenting views.
Utusan publishes blatantly seditious articles without fear of the seditions act simply because it enjoys UMNO's protection. Something that escalated during the time Zainuddin Maidin was Utusan's chief editor, UMNO rewarded him by eventually making him Minister of information. Then he goes on to challenge Teresa to berate the papers in a tit for tat bid, ignoring the fact that the ISA was invoked based on the falsehoods of the article by Zaini Hassan and Khir Toyo's similar stand on his blog.
He then errorneaously tries to draw paralells with developed democracies where he apple picks and declares that no defamation suits are taken. He then flip flopped into totally unrelated subjects as parliamentary immunity, road signs and other drivel.
He is missing the forest for the tree's when he tries to draw churlish paralells between ISA and defamation suits. He also insults the readers intelligence by infering that defamation suits do not happen any where else on the planet. His quote "There is no such a thing as a bad or negative publicity" puts him in the same category as Paris Hilton. As for the last part about thick skin, razor and reputaion, he quite lost me there, instead of summing up his points he goes into vague rantings very much similar to that of a beleaguered senile person. If this is the same Mansor Puteh that some hail as a "public intellectual" it is very sad indeed.

Utusan Melayu is not about press freedom.

We all know that it is a propaganda tool meant to serve the political interest of Umno leaders/politicians and the party itself.

Don't forget that Utusan is never on the people's side as it is an established mainstream media - the voice of Umno/govt.

Rocky too was a product of MSM and great admirer of Tun M. As for Mansoor, aah...bird of the same feather. It is indeed sad that educated people or even an ex-journo as Rocky still think MSM and blind to what press freedom is all about.

Still let them have their say. I believe in democracy.

Hello Mansor
what was essentially said by you was that Utusan is right and Teresa was wrong in suing. Despite your declaration not in support of Utusan, you are actually in support of Utusan. You are just leading us round and round. How can you compare American journalist and Utusan journalist. They are miles apart in terms of integrity,investigative reporting and reporting the truth.If Utusan's report was a mistake, and the aggrieve party have pointed out the mistake,any reputable newspaper would offer an apology and retract the report.Then Teresa would graciously accept the apology. This is what we call FREEDOM of the press. Not freedom to propaganda and misinformation to the rakyat to stir up racial hatred.
I am not buying whatever you are peddling. Teresa has every right to seek redress in COURT! See you in COURT!

Mansor bin Putih, in due respect your argument about press freedom in the case above is totally rubbish.

Please do not equate this to freedom of press. We know what freedom of press is. Freedom of press does not give one the right to spread lies.

Firstly as a responsible media, Utusan should know that the claim against Teresa Kok by the Khir TOYO is very serious and sensitive. Therefore it is important that Utusan should verify the facts before publishing.

Yes, Utusan cam choose not to verify but they are taking chances and should be subjected to challenges by the affected party in court. They should not be immune to that in the name of press freedom.

This got nothing to do with the opposition becoming the government. Are you saying, any media can spread lies about any individual in the government. If that is not true the individual concern has all the right to sue for defamation. This is what we want Najid and his wife to challenge Raja Petra in court. You can sue him for defamation. If what was written by Raja Petra is factually wrong, then Raja Petra will have to face the consequence within the law.

Wonder why Encik Mansor did not come out to support Raja Petra on Freedom of Press.

Why don't we define our battle-ground to the advantage of common people, not the power-to-be.

Why don't we bite the bullet and say "yes" that sueing Utusan Malaysia is less then appropriate and ideal (but not wrong). Then turn around and ask Mansor Bin Putih and Rocky: "Now, it is your turn to defend the content of Utusan Malaysia". We have more "bullets and guns" in this "battle field" of public discourse on the aforementioned essay and false report.

Why would anyone want to define a "battle-ground" around legal sphere or state power, where common people are at the losing end? Or we are so sure we are indefinitely at the losing ends that we forget where we want to choose to fight?
