propaganda on tv started?

yeah i’m sure you would have notice lately that part the incident (gomen label it riot) in batu buruk, terengganu was shown on TV (especially during news break) for about 3 mins. of course they had to end with the flag burning and the words ‘this is not our culture’.

it is very irritating, to say the least, to be bombarded with this clip everyday, especially when the opening scene you hear very loud voices. even my mum get a shock each time this clip came on and after several times, although no shock, she mumbled "why always show this? so fed up lah!".

yes i was also fed up because i know, of course the tv being govt. controlled, wanted to show this to put the opposition in a bad light because of the coming election. the propaganda had started! they seize on this opportunity of the batu buruk incident.

anyway, i really wonder will this clip back-fired on them? you see, they showed noisy people shouting and throwing stones and burning flag then the words ‘this is not our culture’…. but what they showed means what had happened, so are they telling people THIS is their culture? by ‘their’ here i mean malaysia. to me, the clip reflect badly on our country, on us as malaysians!
