Sad news from RFM 988

I felt sad and sorry to hear that my favourite Talk show's DJ, Jamaluddin has been axed from air at Radio RFM 988 with the reason for his recent remarks causing racist tension. I know freedom of speech comes with responsibility and one cannot simply said something untrue and mislead public. However, over all these months since Jamal becoming DJ at the morning talk show at RFM 988, almost every morning, I will listen on my way to office. I found that his comments and remarks seem reasonable and are resonating with the hearts of many listeners. Deep in most listeners' heart knowing that he is speaking the truth and the authorities should have an open heart to hear the voices of his people.

This event has stirred up many reactions from 988 listeners, thousand and thousand of SMS and online messages flew in to 988 facebook but regretted that the owner of RFM 988 choose a negative approach by closing down all the DJ's Fan Page in facebook.

By comparing to many news articles written by main stream newspaper which many believe it was closely link to the ruling coalition which is closely monitor, or some statement made by certain NGO such as Perkasa, in my opinion, these messages somehow cause more tension amongst the people of Malaysia especially in the Chinese and India community. But no action has been taken against them, why?

The PM promotes slogan of 1Malaysia and hope for unity among nation, I agreed the 1Malaysia is the right thing that Malaysia should be moving, but unfortunately many are giving it a blind eye for their own propaganda. If the policy of the country unable to apply fairness, how to have unity? 

Although MCMC has given warning to the Company but I hope this problem can be resolved amicably and I hope that the owner of 988 would adopt more moderate action to deal with this issues. Don't lose the heart of its listeners, after all, the listeners are very supporting 988 all these years .

We need a more tolerant Malaysia whereby freedom of speech is truthfully live. I also hope that Jamal will return to 988 soon and bring more news to the public.

I hope my hope is not just a hope.
