Samy Vellu Should Be Commended- Kit Siang
08 NOV 1996 Samy Vellu-Kit Siang SAMY VELLU SHOULD BE COMMENDED- KIT SIANG KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang has commended Works Minister Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu for being present in the Dewan Rakyat most of the time this year to answer questions of members. "Samy Velu should be commended as a check with parliamentary records this year show that he had attended the Dewan Rakyat on nine separate sittings to personally respond to questions during question time," he said. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and International Trade and Industry Minister, Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz had attended parliament on two separate occasions to answer parliamentary questions, he said in a statement here. However, he said both Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik and Primary Industries Minister Datuk Seri Dr Lim Keng Yaik had never attended parliament during question time to answer questions pertaining to their ministries although parliament is meeting for the fourth time this year. "If Samy Vellu can be in parliament for at least nine days to answer questions in four parliamentary meetings this year, there is no reason why Dr Ling and Dr Lim cannot be equally diligent in discharging their parliamentary duties," he said. Lim said Energy, Telecommunications and Posts Minister Datuk Leo Moggie attended only once during question time to answer a question on Dr Mahathir's visit to the World Solar Summit Conference in Harare, Zimbabwe in September and the government's plan on the use of alternative energy.

Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: a Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf)
International Journal of Communication 6 (2012), 166–189 1932–8036/20120166 Framing Interethnic Conflict in Malaysia: A Comparative Analysis of Newspaper Coverage on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) LAI FONG YANG Taylor's University Malaysia MD SIDIN AHMAD ISHAK University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur Despite repeated warnings from the Malaysian government, the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) rally drew thousands of Indians protesting on the streets of Kuala Lumpur on November 25, 2007. Mistreatment of Indians and lack of press coverage of their plight had been commonplace for years. By employing framing as the theoretical framework and content analysis as the research method, this study examines what perspectives newspapers have created that influence citizens’ understanding of the Hindraf movement. Three mainstream newspapers were found to focus on the conflict frame, and their representation of Hindraf articulated a hegemonic discourse that was prejudicial to the interests of the group and contrary to a spirit of democratic inquiry. The dissimilar coverage of the same issue by the alternative newspaper denoted that publication’s varied points of view, which were rooted in different political beliefs, cultural assumptions and institutional practices. Introduction Since gaining independence in 1957, the Malaysian government has viewed interethnic relations as a real challenge to the social stability of the country (Abdul Rahman, 2000; Baharuddin, 2005; Brown, 1994). As early as 1970, Mahathir Mohamad, who was then a medical doctor and later became the fourth and longest-serving prime minister of Malaysia, claimed that there was never true racial harmony in Malaysia. In his much-debated and once-banned book, The Malay Dilemma, he argued that although there was a certain amount of tolerance and accommodation, racial harmony in Malaysia was neither real nor Lai Fong Yang: [email protected] Md Sidin Ahmadd Ishak: [email protected] Date submitted: 2011–06–03 Copyright © 2012 (Lai Fong Yang & Md Sidin Ahmad Ishak).

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications BLOGGING AND DEMOCRACY: BLOGS IN MALAYSIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Ming Kuok Lim © 2009 Ming Kuok Lim Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2009 The dissertation of Ming Kuok Lim was reviewed and approved* by the following: Amit M. Schejter Associate Professor of Mass Communications Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard D. Taylor Professor of Mass Communications Jorge R. Schement Distinguished Professor of Mass Communications John Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women’s Studies John S. Nichols Professor of Mass Communications Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study examines how socio-political blogs contribute to the development of democracy in Malaysia. It suggests that blogs perform three main functions, which help make a democracy more meaningful: blogs as fifth estate, blogs as networks, and blogs as platform for expression. First, blogs function as the fifth estate performing checks-and-balances over the government. This function is expressed by blogs’ role in the dissemination of information, providing alternative perspectives that challenge the dominant frame, and setting of news agenda. The second function of blogs is that they perform as networks. This is linked to the social-networking aspect of the blogosphere both online and offline. Blogs also have the potential to act as mobilizing agents. The mobilizing capability of blogs facilitated the mass street protests, which took place in late- 2007 and early-2008 in Malaysia.

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.

DAIM LAUNCHES BOOK on SAMY VELLU (Pix)
15 DEC 1996 Daim-Samy DAIM LAUNCHES BOOK ON SAMY VELLU (Pix) KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 (Bernama) -- Economic Adviser to the Government Tun Daim Zainuddin, in launching a biography on Datuk Seri S.Samy Vellu today, described the MIC president as "a man of many seasons". Referring to Samy Vellu as one of his long-time and close friend, Daim said he gave the title to the Works Minister because of his ability to adapt himself to all situations. "He is an all rounder and an eloquent speaker," said the former Finance Minister when launching the book titled "MIC Era Samy Vellu" at the Putra World Trade Centre here. The author of the 250-page book, M.Vivekananthan, a High Court interpreter, took three years to complete it. It gives an account of Samy Vellu's background from his childhood days till he rose to become a party leader and minister. Among the hundreds of people who attended the function were Samy Vellu's wife Datin Seri Indrani and MIC permanent chairman and Ubaidi Foundation chairman Tan Sri S.O.K.Ubaidulla. Daim paid tribute to Samy Vellu as a leader who has helped to shape the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. "His good relations with Dr Mahathir coupled with good leadership qualities have made his an able an effective leader," he said. He said Samy Vellu, who was confered the title "Man of the Year" by the International Roads Federation in Las Vegas in 1989, has taken the MIC to greater heights since he took over the helm in 1979.
