Dont put journalists at risk to cover political publicity stunts

Many questions have been being asked in a arise of a genocide of Bernama TV cameraman Noramfaizul Mohd Nor, 41, strike by a stray bullet fired by rebels in Somalia, according to headlines reports which pronounced he as well as others in a media group had been starting into a city to file their footage, accompanied by a Somali armed forces truck.

The first subject is: what was he doing in Somalia (on reduced notice, it is said) upon this assignment, as well as had he been rebuilt for operative in a hostile environment? The second subject is: did a organisers, a Putera 1Malaysia Club, take each magnitude to protect him, which also equates to ensuring he had been adequately prepared?

Somalia as well as Mogadishu have been not different territories. They have been fight zones. Going upon an assist goal into a fight section is not a same as starting to upon disaster relief.

Until all a facts have been known, a only things which contingency be pronounced is which <no Malaysian reporters contingency ever be put in danger for a sake of a little poor domestic organisations poor publicity stunt.

Bernama, Bernama TV, TV3 as well as a Putera so-called humanitarians have a lot to answer for.
