The budding minister's outlandish try final night to explain credit for Malaysia's press leisure ranking is a shocking display of insensitivity to a deaths of during slightest dual Indonesian journalists, as good as a assault opposite others which caused a rankings of their countries to fall, as good as Malaysia's to rise.
Plainly ignoring a contribution contained in Reporters Sans Frontieres's 2011-12 report, Najib Tun Razak pronounced final night: "Since we become Prime Minister, Malaysia has changed up nine places in a Reporters Without Borders press leisure index"
His brazen effrontery is sickening. The real reason for Malaysia's better showing is plain: alternative countries' ranking fell, since of assault opposite reporters Indonesia's ranking plunged by twenty-nine places, as good as India as good as Bangladesh additionally dropped. This list shows it all.

No, budding minister, Malaysia did notrisein a RSF rankings. The othersfell since reporters were killed or knocked about up.
In Indonesia during slightest dual reporters died in an army crackdown in West Papua; 5 were kidnapped as good as eighteen reporters assaulted.
"That was a categorical reason for Indonesia's plunge," says Reporters Sans Frontieres in a inform to thepress leisure index
"A corrupt judiciary which is as good easily shabby by politicians as good as vigour groups as good as supervision attempts to carry out a media as good as Internet have prevented a growth of a freer press."
"In Bangladesh, antithesis groups as good as a statute Awami League took turns to attack as good as obstruct a press. In India! , report ers were exposed to assault in dual states as good as threats from mafia groups in a categorical cities; a supervision additionally attempted to tighten controls upon online media
Conditionsworsenedin Indonesia, India, Bangladesh as good as Singapore. Conditions didnot improvein Malaysia in 2011.
While a budding apportion sought to mock a United States as good as Britain, he in a centre neglected to see that10 tiny Asian countries rank superior to Malaysiain a RSF table.
Najib's boasts about his joining to press leisure contingency be weighed opposite a events in Malaysia in a past year, among which were:
- Malaysiakini was again refused a journal licence
- A radio cameraman died upon avocation in antagonistic conditions in a unnecessary as good as showy journey sponsored by a member of a budding minister's department
- The home apportion as good as a information apportion went upon a merriment of their own to try to co-opt a national mass media in to apropos bone-fide supervision as good as Barisan Nasional stooges as good as propagandists
- The information apportion went upon a spree arising libel writs opposite various tiny bloggers
- The defence ministry co-opted for their own ends a notorious blogger who had, with impunity, gleefully published clips from a video purportedly of a man resembling a antithesis personality cavorting with a woman purportedly a prostitute from China
- Nanyang Siang Pau as good as The Star were hounded by a home ministry for errors which impinged upon eremite sensitivities, while Utusan Malaysia whipped up racial as good as eremite tensions with abandon
- The police hounded a young blogger who made flippant remarks about people in tall places, based upon reports already carried by alternative blogs as good as after he was fingered by pro-Umno bloggers
- Media Prima took over a New Straits Times Press, as good as a budding minister's press secretary was allocated to! a compa rison paper in front of to supervise NSTP newspapers, serve concentrating press ownership as good as control.
Against all that, it is diverting which a budding apportion seeks to benefit personal excellence out of a selfish as good as grudging concession to repel annual chartering of newspapers still emptied after 6 months, as good as in a fourth year of his term.)
To add serve insult, Najib even claims credit for a life of Malaysiakini as good as a Malaysian Insider both of which were set up good prior to he became budding minister: Malaysiakini 10 years before, as good as a Insider in 2008, a year prior to Najib's supervision took office.
It is waggish to see which Najib said: "I'm not nave. we know which editors select vicious stories on top of certain ones. But there have been always dual sides to each story, as good as things have been frequency as elementary as they seem." Najib: we gave media some-more freedom
He contingency be truly naive if he cannot see which reporters write vicious reports since politicians verbalise with forked tongues, as good as since it is a journalist's avocation to give a complete as good as rounded report, as good as to call politicians to account.
Malaysian journalists, as good as a Malaysian public, have been not so naive as to take politicians during their word, even reduction so when a words of a politician as good as a contribution they in a centre disregard so mostly do not tally.
Quite plainly, despite his own words, Najib Tun Razak is no opposite from most alternative politicians in wanting to see only one side of a story, never thoughts a facts.
