Up to 40,000 were expected in northern Kedah yesterday.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But most Malaysians are unaware of Anwar's travelling reform campaign. The media blackout is total. Officially, he is Malaysia's invisible man.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Interviewed at his home in Kuala Lumpur, Anwar said Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Dr Mahathir's successor, had ordered the gag.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"Editors tell me it is the personal instruction of the prime minister that you should not report or mention Anwar at all," he said.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Various reasons had been given, all of them preposterous, he said. "I'm a threat to the nation, a threat to security, I will split the Malays ... Actually, they don't try to justify it. It's brute force."<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Editors would be quietly removed, advertising withdrawn, or publishing licences withheld if newspapers disobeyed. That was typical of the roundabout way repression worked in Malaysia, he suggested.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Leaders of Umno, the main ruling party, say that Anwar, who was deputy prime minister and heir apparent before an explosive falling-out in 1998, no longer matters.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But such indifference hardly squares with tight restrictions on his political activities, media gags, continuous surveillance - and the big turnouts for the "illegal" rallies organised, by word of mouth, by his People's Justice party (PKR), led by his wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The PKR is pushing for tougher anti-corruption measures, economic and electoral reforms, an end to detention without charge, judicial and media independence, and a reversal of institutionalised workplace and educational discrimination against Chinese and Indian minorities.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Western governments that criticised Anwar's trial view current tensions as an internal matter. A diplomat said it was misleading to see him as "some sort of white knight" and pointed to inconsistencies between his present stance and his time in office.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But such attitudes were another example of denial, Anwar said. "People in the west say Malaysia is a moderate Islamic country, there are no bombings, it's a democracy. And they are fearful of the Islamic parties. So they think it is safer to deal with Umno.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"But how do you have moderation and democracy when there are no basic rights? This is a very repressive system but repressive mostly without violence. It is civilised repression. It was learned from the British."<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Corruption was endemic, unemployment was rising, police abuses went unchecked, foreign investment was declining and the country's democratic institutions, dominated by Umno since independence, were dangerously weak, he said. Without reforms, Malaysia could become all the things the west most feared.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Some Malaysians believe Anwar blew his chances in 1998. Others are waiting for him to emerge from the shadows. He is exploring a common platform with opposition and Islamic groups. He still has allies inside Umno and among Malaysia's numerous royal families.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">But the road back after six years in jail and a current period of recuperation and study in the US and Britain will be tough.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"He's in a weak position right now," a western diplomatic source said. "He is well aware that if he wants to come back to power, he can only do so through Umno."<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Beyond the haze of official harassment and obfuscation, two things seem clear. One is that given a level playing field, Anwar can still hope to lead his country one day. The second is that Malaysia will eventually be forced to embrace the reformasi agenda he espouses.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The question is whether he is up for a fight that could lead him back to jail, to a deal with ruling party modernisers or to a Ukraine-style popular insurgency before the 2008 election.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"He's our hero," said Amien Rais, a leader of Indonesia's 1998 democratic constitutional revolution. "I hope in three or four years we will see him in a different position."<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anwar vows to return. "I am a Malaysian. This is my home," he told supporters in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. "I shall be back."</span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-16401842251457322592004-11-29T18:25:00.000+08:002008-08-19T16:35:05.258+08:00Strike Back<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anwar after jailed for six years on trumped-up corruption and sodomy charges, has threatened to overturn the political establishment that imprisoned him. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Two months after his release, the charismatic politician has spelt out a radical plan to replace the 'feudal and corrupt' establishment with a true democracy.<br /><br /><em>'The elections are not free and fair, the media is completely controlled, the judiciary is not independent and corruption is endemic</em>.'<br /><br />Anwar was regarded in the West as a political prisoner after he was fired by former PM Mahathir in 1998 and within days incarcerated on flimsy graft and sodomy charges. He garnered further worldwide sympathy after the police chief beat him up in custody.<br /><br />When Abdullah replaced Mahathir last year, he did not block Anwar's appeal against the sodomy conviction, and he was freed in September, going straight to Germany for spinal surgery. And now he got the "Germanic" Spinal.<br /><br />Now back in Malaysia, Anwar is trying to rally and unify the fragmented opposition and, in the absence of any help from the mainstream media, take his message directly to the people.<br />Despite Abdullah's control of the media and police, there are already signs that Anwar is making headway.<br /><br />One is the estimated 20,000 people who flocked to his house last Sunday to offer him traditional greetings at the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.<br /><br /><em>'That was without any publicity and with the omnipresent special branch watching me</em>,' Anwar said. <em>'There are people out there who want to hear the message of reform</em>.'<br /><br />ya..ya....ya [REFORMASI] ~ [REFORMASI] ~~</span><br /></span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-44629753489280500912004-09-04T11:55:00.000+08:002008-08-19T16:25:35.973+08:00Freed Out<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anwar Ibrahim was released from almost six years in jail yesterday when the highest court threw out a controversial conviction for sodomy. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Judges found two to one in Mr Anwar's favour in a final appeal.

He is credited with an economic and industrial success story that transcended the country's unpromising legacy of colonial rule, ethnic and religious divisions and communist insurgency. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Many Malaysians have difficulty imagining life without him. But it seems they may have to. Dr Mahathir, aged 76, is not ill. The next election is not due until 2004. Nor has he been under any unusual pressure to step aside. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Government insiders say he may simply have had enough, that he had been considering the move for some time. After dropping his bombshell, Dr Mahathir took off for Naples for a spot of sailing. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />How refreshing that a man renowned for his autocratic tendencies, his chauvinistic defences of Asian values and his zero tolerance of criticism, particularly western human rights criticism, should decide to go with such unaccustomed grace.<br /><br />This is the same man, after all, who humiliated his able deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, and saw him jailed on trumped-up charges; the same man who behaved so unhelpfully when Australian and British troops intervened in East Timor; the man who has encouraged the expansion of the US "war on terror" into Asia.<br /><br />Some might think his departure overdue. But there is a snag. He may not actually be departing, at least not any time soon. All the talk now is of a "lengthy transition" and "phased handover". That could take years - assuming that he does not change his mind again. As we said at the beginning, it does not happen often.</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;color:#333333;">(<em>picked from <span style="color:#000000;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2002/jun/25/guardianleaders</span> by Leader The Guardian, Tuesday June 25 2002</em>)</span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-14171551920364843512001-11-05T18:25:00.000+08:002008-08-19T15:41:08.937+08:00No GAY to be Prime Minister<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Britain issued a rebuke last night to the veteran Malaysian prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, after he threatened to expel gay British ministers if they visited his country with their partners.<br />In a terse statement, the Foreign Office said: "Jack Straw strongly considers that people's private lives are private." His remarks were seen as support for Ben Bradshaw, the openly gay Foreign Office minister, whose portfolio includes Malaysia. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The diplomatic spat flared up after Dr Mohamad threatened to throw out gay British ministers if they "come here bringing their boyfriend". In an interview with Radio 4's Today programme Dr Mohamad, who had his former deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, jailed on charges of sodomy and corruption, said that homosexuality was unacceptable in his predominantly Muslim country. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"The British people accept homosexual ministers but if they ever come here bringing their boyfriend along, we will throw them out," he said. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In Malaysia, a consenting sexual gay relationship is punishable by up to 20 years jail plus flogging and this is probably one of the harshest penalties for gay relations anywhere in the world.</span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-69369282687750256212001-06-22T23:16:00.000+08:002008-08-19T15:29:20.081+08:00Prisoner to be next Prime Minister<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Anyone who thought Malaysia's jailed former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, had been consigned to the history books only needed to hear the speech by the prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, to his party's annual cong</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">ress this morning to appreciate how significant a political player he is, even behind bars. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Although he did not mention by name the man once trumpeted as his anointed heir and tried to disguise his vitriol as a swipe at Indonesia, Mahathir could not have been clearer if he had spelt Anwar's name out on the large screen behind him.<br /><br />The 75-year-old autocrat spent the first section of his 90-minute oration lambasting "reformasi", the reform movement established following Anwar's dismissal in September 1998, subsequent humiliation and extremely dubious conviction for corruption and sodomy.<br /><br />"<em>Why do we need reform in our democratic system of administration</em>?" he asked.<br /><br />"<em>Why do we need street demonstrations which only serve to cause traders to lose, in particular small-business people whose daily survival depends on their daily income</em>?"<br /><br />Mahathir, who celebrates 20 years in office next month, seemed to have forgotten that these same traders are suffering enormously as a result of his own policies as Malaysia's growth rate is expected to slump from more than 8% last year to nearer 2% this year.<br />He described the masses who backed Anwar as "idiots" who have been duped. "<em>While the little people gained nothing, those who made use of them gained a lot by faking sympathy towards their idol,</em>" he said. "<em>Until when are they going to be idiots</em>?"<br /><br />And if anyone had forgotten what he did to Anwar and, earlier this year, to 10 reformasi activists, Mahathir warned, in English for emphasis: "<em>Those who live by the sword, shall die by the sword</em>."<br /><br />The 10 Anwar supporters, who were responsible for mobilising thousands of people across the country in the last two years, were detained without charge in solitary confinement for up to 60 days in an unknown location earlier this year, with no access to lawyers and no family visits for the first month. Six have had their detention extend indefinitely, albeit in a regular detention centre.<br /><br />Analysts believe the amount of time Mahathir spent attacking Anwar highlights how worried the ageing leader is. "<em>He would not have spent 30 minutes attacking Anwar if he was not a force to be reckoned with</em>," said Terence Gomez of the University of Malaya.<br /><br />Anwar, who marked his 1,000th day of incarceration on Saturday, is confined to a wheelchair and wears neck and back braces after suffering a slipped disc in - depending on who you ask - either a beating by prison guards and police officers or an innocent fall while playing football.<br />Mahathir is offering Anwar surgery in Malaysia. But this will involve a general anaesthetic and, experts say, has a 20% chance of leaving him paralysed. Anwar wants to be treated using highly sophisticated endoscopic surgery under local anaesthetic in Germany that has a less than 5% chance of going wrong.<br /><br />"<em>He's really afraid of what might happen here</em>," said Chandra Muzaffar, the deputy president of Keadilan, the party founded by Anwar's wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, to formalise the struggle against Mahathir. "<em>You can't say his fear is unjustified after what he has gone through</em>."<br /><br />On Tuesday, Malaysia's prisons chief formally rejected Anwar's demand to be allowed to go overseas for treatment. Not only was Anwar beaten up on several occasions he was almost poisoned. After falling very sick, a blood sample was smuggled out and found to contain dangerously high levels of arsenic.<br /><br />Despite his physical ailments, he is "otherwise all right," according to Wan Azizah. "<em>He's not going to give up fighting for what he knows to be right</em>." Although they only meet once a fortnight, the two exchange messages every few days discussing how Keadilan should develop in both the short and long-term.<br /><br />What the last three years have shown is that the wave of sympathy generated by Mahathir's treatment of Anwar was not a flash in the pan. It has developed into a permanent, and still growing, political movement.<br />"<em>Anwar was one of the few ruling party leaders who had built up his own political base from different groups and sections in society</em>," explained Sivarasa Rasiah, one of Anwar's lawyers. "<em>That's where Mahathir miscalculated</em>."<br /><br />Anwar's continued pulling power as an icon of the reformasi movement is most clearly demonstrated by the four major opposition political parties agreeing that he would still be their first choice as prime minister if they were to unseat Mahathir. "<em>There's no one else who has the same appeal as he does</em>," said Lim Kit Siang, the chairman of the Democratic Action party.<br /><br />So while Mahathir might demonise Anwar in a mural at his party headquarters by showing him sneakily dipping his hand into a box marked "IMF first aid kit" while he fights the evil forces of western capitalism by rejecting International Monetary Fund assistance, the boot might well end up being on the other foot.<br /><br />"<em>It might not happen at the next general election [due in 2004] but it would be a brave man who says Anwar Ibrahim will never be prime minister</em>," Lim Kit said.</span><br /></span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-19613752345153153412000-03-18T00:55:00.000+08:002008-08-19T15:13:23.070+08:00Fair Enough<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Malaysia's former police chief walked free on bail yesterday after receiving a two-month jail sentence for assaulting the former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim in a police cell. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Abdul Rahim Noor slapped, punched and karate-kicked the opposition politician, causing him to pass out on the floor. Anwar was handcuffed and blindfolded during the attack, which took place on the night he was arrested in 1998.<br /><br />Rahim was granted bail while he appeals against the jail term. His lawyers said the sentence was too harsh but a human rights group, Suaram, called it "merely a light slap on his wrist".<br />"<em>I don't think the public will be satisfied with the sentence imposed</em>," said Anwar's lawyer, Karpal Singh. "<em>This was an assault on a defenceless man who was blindfolded, handcuffed at the back and assaulted, not just anywhere but in the inner sanctum, the headquarters of the police force</em>."<br /><br />Mr Karpal has called on the attorney general to allow an appeal against the sentence on the grounds that it is "far too lenient".<br />Anwar is serving a six-year sentence for misuse of power. He is currently on trial for sodomy and faces up to 20 additional years in jail if he is convicted.<br />His wife, Wan Azizah, who was recently elected to parliament for the National Justice party, described the two-month term for Rahim as "minimal", pointing out that many Malaysians have been sent to jail for longer periods just for taking part in opposition demonstrations.<br /><br />Comparisons between the treatment of Anwar and his attacker "leave Malaysians with a sense that something is very wrong in their system of justice", said opposition politician Lim Kit Siang, chairman of the Democratic Action party.<br /><br />Unlike Rahim, Anwar was not allowed bail during his trial or while awaiting an appeal. Anwar was quickly brought to trial while it took a year for Rahim's case to be heard.<br /><br />There is also concern that the prosecution agreed to reduce the charges against Rahim at the last minute without giving any reason. Rahim then changed his plea to guilty.<br /><br />His lawyers said he always put the interests of the nation before his own and in this case he wanted to "save the government from further international embarrassment, especially in the western media".<br /><span style="color:#333333;"><span style="font-size:78%;">(<em>picked from </em><em>http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/mar/16/malaysia</em><em> by Frances Harrison in Kuala Lumpur Thursday March 16 2000</em>)</span><br /></span><span style="font-size:78%;color:#c0c0c0;">==================================================================================</span><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;">* police officer sentenced for 1 month = civil people sentenced for 12 months</span><span style="color:#66ffff;"><br /></span>(<em>think deeply before you talk</em>)</span><br /></span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723987997505117405.post-41988744086268748152000-01-14T00:55:00.000+08:002008-08-19T15:14:18.775+08:00Set FREE for the WORKERs<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Malaysian police have arrested the lawyer of jailed finance minister Anwar Ibrahim and three others on charges of sedition, in an apparent crackdown on the opposition. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Prominent politician and lawyer Karpal Singh, who is a leader of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) but lost his seat in parliament in November's snap elections, was taken to a local police station, according to a party official.<br />Police declined to elaborate on the charge against him.<br /><br />Earlier on Wednesday, police arrested three other opposition figures under the Sedition Act.<br /><br />Marina Yusoff of Parti Keadilan Nasional (National Justice Party) is accused of inciting racial hatred in remarks made before general elections in November, the opposition party said in a statement.<br />Her remarks related to race riots that erupted in 1969.<br /><br />The editor of the newspaper run by the conservative Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS), Zulkifli Sulong, said both he and the holder of the newspaper's publishing permit were arrested separately on charges of sedition over an August 1999 article on the judiciary.<br />Mr Sulong said he was arrested on charges of sedition in a police station in the capital and that he would plead not guilty when he appeared at Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on Thursday at 0100 GMT.<br /><br />Opposition leaders denounced the arrests, which they said could mark the start of a campaign to stifle criticism of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's coalition and governing authorities.<br /><br />"<em>Apparently a policy decision has been taken for a crackdown</em>," Lim Kit Siang, national chairman of the Democratic Action Party, told Reuters.<br />The arrests came two months after bitterly-contested general elections and on the day the prime minister left the country on a two-week holiday.<br />He left Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is also home minister responsible for police, in charge.<br /><br />Asia's longest-serving elected leader, Dr Mahathir has been in power since 1981 and won an unprecedented fifth mandate in November's polls when his Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition took three quarters of the seats in parliament.<br />Dr Mahathir's supporters credit him with modernising Malaysia.

Wan Azizah has dismissed it as `totally unfounded'. Anwar is standing trial on sodomy charges which Dr Mahathir has several times declared to be proven. No action has been taken against the Prime Minister for his statements which, like yesterday's article, appear to be in contempt of court.<br /><br />The source for the Sun's story is Khairuddin Abu Hassan, Anwar's cousin. The Sun also quotes an official in the Prime Minister's department, Abdul Hamid Othman, saying there had been a `family dispute between husband and wife'. The star witness in the Anwar affair is the sultry Ummi Hafilda Ali, whose appearances at Anwar's first trial made her a national celebrity.<br /><br />On Friday, a thousand voters heard her give an impassioned account of how she followed her sister-in-law to an apartment block and then accused her of sleeping with Anwar. Both the sister-in-law and her husband - Anwar's former private secretary who is now an opposition candidate - have denied her claim.<br /><br />The government's obsession with the jailed former Deputy Prime Minister has grown daily throughout the short campaign. `It's really a contest between Mahathir and Anwar', says one Malaysian journalist. `The problem simply will not go away.</span><br

to Shut-Up<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">More than 1,000 supporters of Malaysia's former deputy prime minister, Anwar Ibrahim, have marched through the streets of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, in the biggest anti-government demonstration for months. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Shouting slogans calling for Mr Anwar's release from jail, the demonstrators were protesting against the politician's alleged poisoning while in detention.<br /><br />The protesters assembled outside the national mosque and marched through the streets of the capital, their numbers swelling until riot police and water cannons arrived on the scene.<br /><br />This was the biggest show of support for Anwar Ibrahim since a court sentenced him to six years in jail in April for misuse of power.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/special_report/1998/10/98/malaysia_crisis/newsid_318000/318958.stm"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">It was

called for an independent inquiry into the incident, saying they're not satisfied with a police invesigation.<br /><br />But speaking on the sidelines of a meeting of Asia Pacific leaders in New

against the jailing of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><a

Mahathir Mohamad have shaken the capital since Mr Anwar was sentenced on Wednesday to six years in prison for corruption and abuse of power. He has consistently denied the charges, saying they are part of a political conspiracy to end his challenge to Mr Mahathir's 18-year rule. </span><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />The official news agency, Bernama, reported that police had detained at least 118 people.<br />The news agency reported that city police chief Kamarudin Mohamed Ali said some students had resorted to violence and carried weapons during the demonstrations.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Some 32 students detained on Saturday for offences such as illegal assembly and rioting were to be "handed over to their schools and colleges for further action", Mr Kamarudin said, adding that the co-operation of the public, including teachers, was needed "to overcome the problem".<br />"<em>We have received reports that some students have been paid and we will investigate this</em>," he said. </span><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Hundreds of people, most of them students, marched through the streets on Saturday, armed with primitive weapons such as catapults and rocks.<br />Police used water cannon and tear gas to disperse protesters. Riot police used tear gas and water cannon to break up a demonstration by opposition supporters in the heart of the main shopping area of Kuala Lumpur.<br /><br />The demonstrators fled the police into nearby shops and alleyways and several Saturday shoppers were accidentally caught up in the disturbances.<br />The BBC Correspondent in Kuala Lumpur, Frances Harrison, says that the situation is growing ever more tense with larger numbers turning out to demonstrate.<br />Kuala Lumpur was reported to be calm but tense on Sunday as police patrolled key parts of the capital.<br /><br />Mr Anwar's wife, Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, has denied that her newly created National Justice Party (Keadilan) is behind the unrest, although her party's flag was seen during the clashes.<br />She said on Sunday that reports of anti-government street violence had been exaggerated to divert attention from her husband's jail sentence.<br /><br />Protesters shouted slogans backing Mr AnwarWan Azizah said in a statement that she regretted the violence and the fact that weapons were seized from protestors linked to Keadilan.<br />"<em>The real supporters of reforms and Keadilan would not resort to violence or treat violence as a political approach</em>," she said.<br />She said that the street violence had been "manipulated to fulfil the political agenda of certain groups".<br />"<em>The issue has been overblown to shift the people's attention from Anwar's jail sentence, which has sparked outrage</em>. "<br />"<em>It was publicised to smear my husband's reputation and to curb his popularity.

The fate of Anwar Ibrahim is news around the world. But little of this is explicit in press coverage here. The hearings are reported; the issues are not. "In Malaysia", says the New Straits Times, "press freedom is a consequence of the earnestness and sincerity with which the local media meets its obligations to the people as readers and to the cause of national interest or common good."<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><a name="article_continue"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">What does that mean? It means - in surface terms - that the Mahathir line on Anwar, as on everything else, is slavishly repeated. The Prime Minister can do no wrong. The enemy is without, in the words and pictures transmitted by the foreign (that is, Western) media. "Slanted, fabricated and damning reports will, in one swift stroke, plunge this country into an abyss of darkness." </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />If these were sincere views, that would be one thing. But they are not. Malaysia's journalists writhe beneath this blanket of earnest conformity. They hate the game of craven co-existence they're forced to play - but they face a few little local difficulties. One is that you need a government licence to publish a paper. Such licences can, and have been, arbitrarily revoked. Your freedom - or your job?<br /><br />Another is the unstated way in which Mahathir's party, UNMO, effectively owns the major voices of opinion through a contortion of intermediaries. The Prime Minister is your legal hammer and your ultimate boss. So what goes on just beneath the surface - at the back end of stories, not in the headlines and intros? The golden rule is always to begin at the end. The final 50 words out of 1,000-word story may quote a despairing foreign reporter. "I've lived in Malaysia for some time now, and I think it's impossible to be a journalist here."<br /><br />Thus the fact of civil disturbance may be scantily chronicled, if prefaced by yet another injunction to calm from You Know Who. Thus a visiting Chris Patten's words of support for Anwar may be rehearsed if the lead is a predictable tirade against Western 'meddling'.<br /><br />The technique is coded and tangential. A few dozen words dropped in the middle of a book review. Extraordinarily extensive sports page coverage of an attempt by Malaysia's Olympics committee chairman to hang on to his job far into his seventies. (compare and contrast). When Ministers grow twitchy about the proliferation of pro-Anwar websites, the principal offenders are listed with full Internet addresses. It's the best they believe they can do, and they are not to be derided for it. They believe their readers are savvy enough to crack the code ('always start with the small stories at the bottom of page two') and that survival is better than silence - or the bland uniformity of state television.<br /><br />They are right. But the question here, a question for businessmen signing cheques as well as civil libertarians waving banners, is fundamental. Malaysia is a triumphantly developed economy, Number 17 on the world list, and certain to move higher once the tigers get over their flu. How much should we care about their apology for press freedom? Does it, when cash rules, matter? Is there, in Mahathir's words, a separate 'Asian way'?<br /><br />This isn't a society in turmoil. It is a society stifled by wheels within wheels and threats within inspirational rhetoric. Mahathir can make it all sound reasonable. "All over the world, Ministers are dismissed and they normally pack their bags and go off." So what's so special about Anwar? What's special is that he was a Gordon Brown and John Prescott rolled into one. Big cheese. What's special is that the charges of corruption, now produced, relate to events long ago. What's special, on examination, is that everything connects.<br /><br />You can run a tiger economy without proper elections. We did that in Hong Kong. You can run a rampant tiger in raucous, rumbustious democracies. Taiwan is surviving this recession best of all. But can you run one, over time, where the most elemental freedoms seem simulated rather than real?<br /><br />The trouble for Malaysia is that it has become too successful. Local councils now want to be elected, rather than appointed by central government. Opposition politicians want to see their case on television too. Newspapermen are sick to death with the nanny state. Even China can experiment with the jury system while one judge sits alone in the case of Anwar.<br /><br />There is, fascinatingly, no way of holding back this tide. If the papers won't tell the story, the irresistible, business-imperative Internet will. A country wooing foreign investment can't ban CNN. Paternalism and progress are mortal foes in the end; and one day the edifice of defiance must crack. Will that, in the rupturing, be great for business? No: but meanwhile the press has to struggle on as best it can. Not a peripheral part of the equation, but a mute force at the core.</span><br /></span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:78%;color:#333333;">(<em>picked from http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,324881,00.html by Peter PrestonSunday November 8, 1998</em>)</span>Chow MKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10677631369162385739noreply@blogger.com
