PASIR MAS, Feb 28 (Bernama) -- Former Pasir Mas Umno division chief Datuk Ibrahim Ali once again showed his unprofessional attitude when he prevented Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat from talking to reporters here today.
Nik Aziz was about to talk to reporters after the ground breaking ceremony for the Taman SPP Permai project at Kubang Gatal at 4.45pm when Ibrahim suddenly interrupted and asked him to wary of the RTM cameraman.
"Beware of him (RTM cameraman) because he is dangerous. We say one thing but it will come out differently."
On hearing this, Nik Aziz shook his head and said he would not be holding the press conference and left accompanied by several men.
The about-turn left a group of pressmen including that from PAS newspaper Harakah disappointed after waiting in heavy rain since 2.30pm.
Ibrahim who will contest the Pasir Mas parliamentary seat under the PAS ticket had been known to be hostile towards pressmen.
On one occasion at Kampung Belukar Bunut Susu recently, Ibrahim flew into a rage when asked by reporters and threw away a reporters' recorder.
Ibrahim, 57, was sacked as Pasir Mas Umno division chief on Nov 22, 2003 and prevented from joining the party for life after contesting as an independent candidate during the 2004 general election.
tunku : i think the media especially the mainstream media should not write or n\air news base on their own conclusion or just showing part of the speech only. it's not fair, same goes to harakah and opposition media.Be Fair To All.

Media should not be an enemy to anyone. Same goes for the fact that it should not be a weapon for anybody. They should remain neutral and fair.
But Ibrahim had shown a bad example as a leader.
Ibrahim, as an ex-Umno leader, certainly knows how BN/Umno uses mainstream media only to its advantage, hence he might have thought (which I have the same thinking) he and Nik Aziz would be the victim if they were to agree with the interview.
Indeed PAS/PKR/DAP are in Catch 22 situation. If they talk to mainstream media such as RTM, their quotable quotes would only be those that might have negative implications on the parties. They don't have recourse to rebut, except to go back to people directly. If they don't talk, then this is what happen - still a story for RTM for the benefit of BN/Umno.
Tak pa... orang Islam ada mahkamah agung di akhirat nanti, itupun kalau percaya...

Most media are bias coz they're binded by the rule of profit making.another fact is ownership.even bloggers are bias.they show support or contempt towards certain leader(s) minus the 2 sides of a coin.blogger kena apply lesen dan bayar gaji pekerja ke?
