Media Mayhem…

(The altercation)
Chan Kok Leong of Malaysiakini filed this report http://www1.malaysiakini.com/news/86177 headlines Debate: Mayhem in the media room. The event at the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka building in Kuala Lumpur tonight was marred by punches, kicks and a broken camera. Was it a little rowdy..? What is going on..? Has the events over the past few weeks got the better of the marshalls on duty? Oh yea,I should have known everyone wants a piece of the Anwar the”man’ at the moment.
There was a melee whereby the photgraphs were punched and kicked and amongst them were the Edge Financial Executive producer Othman Abu Bakar. This is exactly what the public does not want to see when our security officials seems to take the law into their own hands. There is such a thing as diplomacy to solve problems and I for one detest such actions. Do you think that there must be some restrain from these “security” officials around the country when covering events…?

Most times they do not use diplomacy. These security personnels do use foull and threatening words and maybe this went out of control. Names calling do play a part too.Bad!
