Zero deception

Scrutinise this picture. No, not the fact that pictures of the PM always seem to show him pointing at something. Deduce the number of people present.



The Star reports that more than 10,000 people showed up at FT Minister Zulhasnan Rafique's Hari Raya open house yesterday. AAB himself was there, delighted at being boot-licked by yet another machai.

Not to be outdone, the NST reports that more than 60,000 people happily gorged and oohed their Saturday evening at that Palace-on-Lowcost-Land Zakaria Md Deros' open house in Pandamaran. There was no mention if AAB was there.

Fuiyo! The numbers.... It seems like Al Jazeera missed big-time. The real action was over rendang and air bandung in the abode of Umno show-boats, where everyone celebrated in peace and left the respective places burping in B minor.

In stark contrast, the very same media reported that 4,000 people showed up for the "foiled" and "illegal" Bersih Rally. No pictures were carried except traffic jams caused by police roadblocks. The truth? This is how 4,000 looks like:



Numbers don't mean nothing to the editors of the mainstream media, who are by simple extension pitiful running dogs for the govt. Not just numbers, but facts. Cold, hard facts. I'm sure it's become routine; spineless cari-makan journalists and editors bowing down to a Fourth Floor memo to remake facts. It's just words and digits after all. One zero, two zeroes... what does it matter?

They don't seem to learn, do they?

Virtue always wins. The more you lie, the more you lose. And here in Malaysia, baby, the dam won't hold for long.

Given the coverage of the Bersih Rally by the mainstream media yesterday, that the police were forced to use water canons and tear gas on participants, that it was the police who kept the crowd under control, when everything to the contrary was caught on Al Jazeera's tape and beamed across the globe, who could believe you anymore?

And when govt-sanctioned rats start hacking into personal and NGO websites and changing the contents, or roaches which come out at night placing flyers perpetuating the lie that the Bersih Rally was spearheaded by a five-person anti-Muslim group, who can trust you to lead anymore?

All it takes is for every rally participant to inform 10 friends of the lies perpetuated, this govt's in deep trouble. And yet they foolishly continue with the path of deception.

From just this context alone and seeing how the media has carelessly responded, there is no question anymore that the AAB govt lied about the Batu Burok incident (Bersih's other infamous episode) as they have lied just about every thing that is of rakyat value in this land.

I hate liars.
