Parlimen Malaysia - Lim Kit Siang: Parliamentary Telecasts!

Back


Lim Kit Siang (Ipoh Timur, DAP): April 21, 2005 Editor-in-Chief, New Straits Times Sir, Ref: NST should doubly apologise for its low quality of parliamentary reporting and completely misunderstanding the thrust and purpose of my raising Zainul Arifin's column in Parliament I refer to your front-page report today "'Humiliated' MPs attack NST -- DAP's Kit Siang leads with support from BN members" continuing into page 8, with me leading a quartet of photographs of four MPs on the front-page under the headline question "The untouchables" as well as the commentary by the NST editor-in-chief Kalimullah Hassan in pages 4 and 12, entitled "Column was fair comment". Let me state from the outset that I fully agree that there is an urgent need for a higher standard and quality of parliamentary debate by MPs, which is why I had been consistently and persistently calling for parliamentary reform and modernization to upgrade parliamentary standards and performance. There is, however, an equally urgent need to raise the standard and quality of media reporting and commentary about parliamentary proceedings as well national affairs, which is highlighted by the NST parliamentary reporting and commentary alleging that I had led, with the support from BN members, in an onslaught on the NST for Zainul Arrifin's column "Our MPs are not ready for prime-time TV". SUPPORT AND LOBBY FOR PARLIAMENTARY TELECASTS Bahawa Dewan ini mengambil keputusan untuk membenarkan siaran langsung sidang Dewan Rakyat melalui televisyen supaya rakyat boleh menonton ucapan para ahli Yang Berhormat dan proses Dewan Rakyat membuat keputusan terhadap dasar dan undang-undang.
