The front page main news of the Star today: “Malaysian parents run foul of Swedish Law”. If we were to look at the highlighted news and stories under the stewardship of the Editor-In-Chief of the Star, Ms June Wong, such a headline reflects her train of thoughts or taste buds. Remember the hue and cry that were highlighted by The Star when the pron bloggers Alvin and Vivian were denied bail.
Air pollutions caused by haze have reached a dangerous level in several parts of Malaysia and Singapore.
PERTANYAAN : JAWAB LISAN
DARIPADA : TUAN WEE CHOO KEONG [ WANGSA MAJU ]

SOALAN
Tuan Wee Choo Keong [ Wangsa Maju ] minta MENTERI PENERANGAN, KOMUNIKASI DAN KEBUDAYAAN menyatakan mengapa BERNAMA TV Synergy Sdn Bhd dibenarkan berhutang kepada BERNAMA semasa mengendalikan BERNAMA TV dan sudahkah pihak BERNAMA memperoleh bayaran hutang berkenaan, jika belum apakah tindakan yang akan dikenakan kepada BERNAMA TV Synergy Sdn Bhd.
Bernama Synergy Drive Sdn Bhd, which was running BERNAMA TV, owes BERNAMA RM16 millions. The key man behind Bernama Synergy Drive Sdn Bhd is Datuk Suhaimi, the Gunung Jerai UMNO Division Chief. The Minister of Information and BERNAMA chief, Datuk Anuar Zaini, must explain:
On 1st August 2009, Yg Bhg Datuk Seri Mohd Annuar Zaini, Chairman of Bernama Bhd had said in response to the termination of the agreement with Bernama TV Synergy Sdn Bhd:
“We have decided on this course of action after a thorough evaluation of the current financial situation affecting Bernama TV Synergy.
“As chairman, I would like to assure that the delivery and quality of Bernama’s existing services in its operation as the national news agency will continue to be maintained at the highest level.”
Why must the staff become the victims of mismanagement?
With the involvement of Yg Bhg Datuk Mohd Suhaimi bin Abdullah (Ketua Bahagian, UMNO Gunung Jerai), it smells of UMNO connection!
On 29 July 2009 I have received a comment in my blog concerning BERNAMA BHD and Bernama TV under my posting of 17 July 2009 as follow:
(An excerpt of the comment from Anonymous on July 29, 2009 at 3:47 am🙂
“Kami warga perkhidmatan audio visual/bernama tv ingin meluahkan rasa tidak puas hati dengan pengurusan bernama yang membuat keputusan drastik terhadap kami yang terpaksa ditukarkan ke beberapa jabatan mengikut kepakaran masing2. Mulai 1/8,ada yang terpaksa pergi ke RTM dan beberapa jabatan tertentu di BERNAMA. Masalahnya penukaran tempat2 tersebut di buat dalam jangka masa 3 hari sahaja.
Secara asas kami bersetuju ditukarkan untuk memberi tekanan kepada btv synergy,cuma keputusan ini yang secara drastik melibatkan masalah2 terutama kepada mereka yang ditukarkan ke RTM. YB Wee ada sesetengah petugas perkhidmatan audio visual yelah bertugas di Bernama lebih 12 tahun, terpaksa menanggung kos akibat terpaksa berpindah ke RTM. Kata mereka ini adalah sementara, tetapi setelah banyak kali kami dijanjikan banyak harapan akhirnya kami yang menjadi mangsa.”
