Utusan Malaysia's action to conduct domestic hearing against NUJ President, Hata Wahari over his new year speech again proved that Utusan is abusing its power for personal vendetta.
We view this with grave concern and It must be noted that Hata issued his annual new year address in the capacity as NUJ President and merely discharging his public duty as office bearer of NUJ. His statement that remind the main stream media not to be tools of political party is both fair and objective. As such, Utusan is hereby urged to withdraw it's action and not resort to witch hunting.
I also take this opportunity to urge the BN government to cancel the annual renewal of media publication license and amend the draconian law accordingly in order to safeguard the press freedom in Malaysia, which currently ranked No.141 among the 169 countries assessed by “Borderless Reporter” based in France.

吡州行动党今日炮轰<马来前锋报>公私不分,对大马新闻从业员职工会主席哈达瓦哈里(Hata Wahari)举行内部听证会以达秋后算帐的隐议程。
行动党州秘书兼太平区国会议员倪可敏今日指出,大马新闻从业员职工会主席哈达瓦哈里在其新年献词批评大马主流媒体勿沦為政党工具,不惜捏造事实,同时劝喻媒体勿搞种族政治是中肯之言,更何况他是以大马新闻从业员职工会主席的身份发言,<马来前锋报>却以此对哈达展开内部听证会,企图祭出惩罰,这是公私不分、假公济私的最坏示範。“欲加之罪、何患无词?前锋报应该悬崖勒马。”他表示。
倪可敏强调,《前锋报》应该尊重该职工会理事会对外发表立场的基本权利,因为這正是职工会的职责以捍卫会员的权益。他说,哈达瓦哈里是以职工会官员身份,发表其言论;若《前锋报》不同意,大可公开反驳而非秋后算账。
也是班台州议员的倪氏指出,若哈达被开除,他将步上前职工会主席亚吉(Yazid Othman)和安然阿末(Amran Ahmad)的后尘,后两者皆因参与职工会活动而被《前锋报》开除。亚吉奥曼更在1984年到1988年间,担任职工会主席。 “前锋报的公信力现巳岌岌可危,若它执意对付哈达,该报将更早遭送入博物院成为历史!”他强调。
吁新的一年里废除报纸执照 挽救国内新闻自由
为了捍卫新闻自由,倪可敏同时也呼吁政府在新的一年里废除报纸执照以挽救我国节节败退的全球新闻自由排名指数。
倪可敏指出,近年来由全球无疆界记者组织公佈的新闻自由排名显示,我国在169个国家当中竟忝居第141名,只略比朝鲜及缅甸好,這种情况令人汗颜。
为了捍卫新闻自由及民众的知情权,他呼吁政府废除报纸执照,解开每家报社颈上的“金箍咒”。他指出,现有法律巳足以对付违反新闻道德及作恶意虚假报导的媒体,因此政府规定每年须更新报纸执照的措施早巳不符时代须求。
倪氏指出,人民现今的教盲水平巳逐日提升,若报章做出违反新闻道德及故作恶意虚假报导,读者将会用节节滑落的报纸销量来教训这类沒有公信力的媒体。“<马来前锋报>不断玩火,从该报日益滑落的报纸销量求证,这类种族主义的报章最终将自食其果、自毀前程。”他重申。
倪氏今日在该党州总部召开记者会时如是披露。陪同出席者包括德賓丁宜区州议员黄文标、州总部执行秘书施韦君及副执行秘书萧利华。
