Empat hari lepas
Pukul 12.35 pagi pada hari Rabu (Jan 16), Dr Novandri Hasan Basri telah mentweet – lihat screenshot bawah – tentang catatan kesat di Facebook Patrick Teoh.
Tiga hari lepas
Pukul 7 pagi pada hari Khamis (Jan 17), portal Antara Pos – media yang digam Lim Guan Eng membuat liputan pilihanraya parti DAP baru-baru ini – melaporkan tajuk berita ‘Patrick Teoh aktif DAP – Hasan Ali‘ (screenshot bawah, klik 2x untuk baca).
Tiga hari lepas
Pukul 5 petang pada hari Khamis (Jan 17), Berita Harian (versi dalam talian) memetik Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Jamil Khir Baharom sebagai menegah orangramai membangkitkan isu yang menyinggung perasaan penganut — baca ‘Jangan sentuh sensitiviti agama: Jamil Khir‘.
- The Star tidak membuat apa-apa liputan tentang kontroversi Patrick Teoh pada hari Rabu
- The Star tidak membuat apa-apa liputan tentangnya pada hari Khamis
- The Star tidak membuat apa-apa liputan tentangnya Jumaat
- The Star tidak membuat apa-apa liputan tentangnya Sabtu
Hanya hari ini, hari Ahad, baru akur memberi sedikit ruang kepada cerita panas Patrick ini — ‘Actor Teoh questioned over FB posting‘ (The Star, 20 Jan).
Perenggan pertama rencana akhbar milik kumpulan media MCA (yang mempunyai audien 5.63 juta orang) menyebut:
“PETALING JAYA: Radio personality and actor Patrick Teoh’s troubles are far from over as he has been questioned by the authorities over his Facebook posting which was allegedly offensive to Muslims.
“The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission questioned Teoh on Friday and recorded his statements over the posting.”
Seperti biasa Star sengaja timbus
The Star berkata hari ini “Patrick Teoh’s troubles are far from over”. Tapi sebelum ini pula para pembaca The Star tidak tahu-menahu apa-apa pun tentang kemelut yang melanda personaliti radio itu kerana suratkhabar tersebut tidak pernah memaklumkan.
Seterusnya dalam perenggan dua, The Star berkata MCMC telah menyoalsiasat Patrick pada hari Jumaat. Kalau media lain boleh buat laporan pada hari Jumaat, kenapa The Star tak boleh?
Adakah ia sebab The Star tidak dapat lari daripada tabiat mahu menimbuskan mana-mana cerita kurang elok tentang orang DAP 2.0 yang rapat dengan Papa dan Mama Dapster?
Rencana pengarang kumpulan The Star hari ini
Tajuk kolum Wong Chun Wai ialah ‘The lost middle ground‘.
Wong mengulas kejadian di sebuah forum anjuran UUM di mana penuntut aktivis K.S. Bawani diherdik speaker Sharifah Zohra Jabeen.
Pengarang kumpulan Star itu menulis:
“The middle ground is lost. We are incapable of articulating our points in a persuasive and rational manner, preferring instead to shout, as in a ceramah, or to talk down, in the “big brother/sister knows best” attitude.
“Looking at the comments posted by their supporters on the Net, the name-calling is incredibly ugly. The hundreds of comments posted are filled with hatred, which speaks poorly for many of us who talk so much about freedom of expression.”
Wong berkata:
- Orangramai lebih suka berteriak serta berlagak pandai (“to talk down”)
- Maki-hamun di Internet sudah terlanjur (“the name-calling is incredibly ugly”)
- Komen-komen ini penuh kebencian, terutamanya yang dihambur oleh Firsters yang menggambarkan diri mereka pendokong kebebasan bersuara (“hundreds of comments posted are filled with hatred” / “who talk so much about freedom of expression”)
Tambah Wong lagi, “we enter a new dimension when one person lectures, belittles and talks down to another person …”.
Takkan Wong Chun Wai belum lagi sedar golongan mana (kawan-kawannya dari gereja Jerusubang lah) yang selalu menggelar orang lain “low class”.
Sambung Wong, “I am sure most of us would agree that she came across as patronising, condescending and arrogant. In short, the president of the Suara Wanita 1Malaysia sounded like a big bully.”
Oh ya kah? Pada pendapat Wong Chun Wai, Sharifah Zohra riak, sombong dan meragam (“patronising, condescending and arrogant”) serta berupa seorang pembuli besar (“a big bully”).
Baik lah. Saya mahu mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengingatkan Wong Chun Wai dan The Star siapa yang terdahulu mendapat jolokan “SuperCyber Bully” (lihat screenshot).
Yang menimbulkan perkara “@hannahyeoh = “DAP SuperCyber Bully” ialah Jessica Lai, iaitu bendahari Beliawanis. Orang MCA sendiri. Zero Google search results bagi ‘Jessica Lai’ di laman thestar.com.my bagi tempoh Past Year.
DAP SuperCyber Bullies
Gerakan Beliawanis juga pernah mengadu bahawa evangelista Pakatan (Adun Rawang Gan Pei Nei) bersikap pembuli. Wanita MCA pun mengadu kelakuan Dapster melampaui batas. Anda boleh baca semua ini dalam laman sesawang MCA.
Namun The Star yang begitu berat sebelah dan pr0-DAP 2.0 enggan menyiarkan keluhan Beliawanis mahupun Wanita MCA.
Sebaliknya The Star boleh menaikkan sebagai ikon Twitter juru strategi DAP yang menuduh Utusan “mencetak pembohongan yang keterlaluan” serta rakan Twitter Hannah Yeoh yang mentweet “Chua Soi Lek seorang penzina“.
The Star pupuk ‘personality cult’
Wong Chun Wai nampak kuman di seberang laut (Sharifah Zohra dikatanya “big bully”) tetapi gajah di depan mata (“DAP SuperCyber Bully”) beliau tidak nampak.
Kita tak hairan pun selama lima tahun lepas The Star cukup mesra serta membelai politikus evangelista dan paderi-pedari jaringan Jerusubang yang begitu anti-kerajaan (Chun Wai sendiri mengaku hakikat ini pada minggu lepas).
Melihat cara The Star cuba menenggelamkan (‘blackout’) cerita hangat Patrick Teoh, tahu pun kita kesetiaan akhbar itu tertumpu kepada siapa.

I think most the Malay now doesn’t think that the issue is a political issue anymore, it become a religious and racial issue. what’s the outcome will be no one can tell.
When will be the last straw’s that will broke the camel back is drawing nearer and nearer, though many hope that it will not happened but should the Malay be blamed?
if they being pushed to corner even the most coolest one among also will retaliate.
The Malays were and are the true gentlemen in the whole world and in history. But even gentlemen have limits to their patience. If you don’t believe it, just look at the actions of Malays in southern Thailand and in southern Philippines. Just look at the southern Filipinos, who are actually Malays, who were allegedly given Malaysian citizenships and are now residing in Sabah. Would these Malays, including those from Indonesia, sit still and just look on if they see their Malay brethren in the semenanjung bullied and oppressed, if say, God forbid, Umno were to lose power in the coming 13th GE?
Sharifah Zohra should get a talk show together with Bavani. two sides of the same coin and it will make good tv like ‘The Views’ they should invite politicians, activist etc etc and grill these people…
Beliawanis looks more like a GRO team than anything else. Hence no reason for the star to feature the whores. Same goes to puteri umno.
It takes a thief to catch a thief
yea! ravin dapat 50 sen.
yesterday my ‘gunting’ reader lecturer ‘nganga’ when we (the students) talked abt PT the donkey. p/s the lecture was on journalism. adoiii.
The Star has long become a shit paper.
