Hahaha.. kelakar aku dengo cara Zam replying to Al-Jazeera. Obviously what he's saying, is the exact opposite of the scenes that it being shown in tv. Is he trying to fool people into thinking that his words are more trustable compared to whats being captured on tv? No wonder this interview was censored by astro during the repeat news. Of course on our national paper, Zam is the hero.

"In Malaysia, there is no need to protest, because we have election every 5 years". So, you're saying once we vote you in, we keep quiet until the next election (which i'm pretty sure is rigged and you'll win again). This rally is not about asking the govt to step down. This is about asking for a fair election!

I can't believe our Information Minister...
1- Blaming the Al-Jazeera instead of diverting the question (as politician normally do).
2- Don't care national sensitivity by saying, "you think we are like Burma or Pakistan..".
3- No question about his ministrial English level.
4- Questionable IQ level. If the call from Al-Jazeera (with bad intention to Malaysia as he claim), why don't he just say he not available for interview and hang up the phone?
5- Still considered himself a hero make me(& most of Malaysian perhelps) sick & tired of being sick & tired...

What follows is a transcript of the telephone interview that Malaysia’s Minister of Information Zainuddin Maidin (ZAM) gave Al-Jazeera yesterday, moments after the Bersih memo was delivered to the Royal Palace at the close of the biggest anti-government protest in Malaysia in ten years.

ZAM: ….I commend your journalists trying to project, to exaggerate more than what actually happened. That, that, that, that’s it. We, we are not, the, the — and I, I congratulate your journalists behaving like an actor, that, that’s —

AJ: As you say that, sir, we’re watching scenes of protesters being sprayed by chemical-filled water …

ZAM (interrupts): Ya, I am watching, I hear, [?] …. trying to do it everywhere but in Malaysia people are allowed, to, you know [?] … Police have allowed the procession to go to the Istana Negara, you know, do police, first police, like, they handle them, they [?] them, they … the police don’t, don’t, don’t fire anybody …

AJ: Our correspondent came back to the office, sir, with chemicals in his eyes!

ZAM (speaking over her): … You, you, you, you are here with the idea, you are trying to project, what is your mind, you think that we are Pakistan, we are Burma, we are Myanmar, everything you, you are thinking …

AJ: Well unfortunately when you refuse to let people protest, it does appear so.

ZAM (speaking over her): …Ya, ya, we are not like you, you have early perception, you come here, you want to project us like undemocratic country. This a democratic country!

AJ: So why can’t people protest then, if it’s a democratic country?

ZAM (interjects at “protest then”): Ya, people protest, people then — first they protest, we are allowing protests, and they have demonstrated. But we just trying to disperse them and then later they, you know, disperse, but later our police compromise. They have compromised and allowed them to proceed to Negara. Police, our police have succeeded in handling them gently, right? Why do you report that and you take the opposition, someone from opposition party you ask him to speak, you don’t take from the government, right?

AJ: Why did you not break up these protesters –

ZAM (interrupting): Pardon? Pardon? Pardon?

AJ: Why did you not break up these protests more peacefully?

ZAM: I can’t hear you. I can’t hear you.

AJ: Why did you not break up these protests more peacefully?

ZAM: No we, we are, we, this protest is illegal. We don’t want, this, the, normally … (slight pause, then continues to talk while she interjects)

AJ (interjecting): OK, so let me return to my former question. Why is this protest illegal?

ZAM (babbling on): Ya it’s illegal protest because (AJ: Why?) we have the election in Malaysia. It’s no, no point on having the protest, we are allowing to have every, an election every five years, never fail. We not our like, are not like Myanmar, not like other country. And, and you are helping this. You Al-Jazeera also is helping this, this forces, the, you know, these forces who are not [?], who don’t believe in [?] …

AJ (seems to want to say something, but decides not to): I don’t … many thanks for joining us.

ZAM: I don’t, ya, you, Jazeera, this is, is Al-Jazeera attitude. Right?

(she doesn’t reply. In the background, the chants of the protesters fill the silence)

See how NST said.. (Gelak guling2 aku!)

Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said the network's coverage of Saturday's demonstration was "biased".

He said it had created the wrong impression of the country with a "one-sided, unfair and wrong presentation of events in the country".

"They should realise that Malaysia is a democratic country and not the type of democracy depicted by the network.

"They should understand our policy, our history. They did not give a true picture of Malaysia. Instead, they presented a negative image of the country to the world."
