The danger of publishing news without background checks on claims made - it will lead to confusion, defamation and disinformation.

Newsrooms and journalists ought to exercise caution, not to fall into the barrage of mis/disinformation.

Let’s take one example today on the alleged Agenzia Nova article about PM Anwar Ibrahim.

Taking a closer look, there were two articles published, one sensational headline and the other calling Anwar a reformist (in Italian).

Do note, none of these articles have authors. 🚩

Who is Agenzia Nova? Who runs it? Who are they? Why is there an interest of an obscure website in Italian on Malaysia?

Checking its domain information, no identification about the owner or editors. No names of editors and journalists. Socials have little engagement.

Red flags.

My worst fear just came, now I have to fork out more money to change flight tickets for my parents, and accommodation too.

Sigh!

Expensive to change for flights from Sarawak to KL and accommodation for both my parents who will be here to attend my convocation. All these added to the extra costs and burden.

Imagine so many people who are also affected by these.

The change of convocation date from November to December created so much problems and added more burden, costs to graduates and their parents, particularly those from Sabah and Sarawak.

Plans were made way ahead of time in order for us to arrange flights and accommodation.

TW: Suicide & murder

We have stated this many umpteen times about unethical and unsafe reporting on suicide and murder. There is a public interest in such stories but is it necessary to sensationalise tragic incidents this way.

No. No.

This is not right, the story is UNSAFE.

Stories reported in that manner is extremely upsetting to the families affected by the incident and also people living with depression and suicidal ideation. Sensationalising stories with revealing too much details can be extremely triggering to those struggling with depression.

UNSAFE photos/videos, details of the method of murder-suicide, no guide on how to reach out to help, no warning to people who can be triggered reading the news.

The story by Harian Metro raised so many red flags, this is not the first time and it happens all the time!

[BN's landslide in Melaka, PH drowning in disillusionment]

What do we make sense about the results? Am I surprised with the outcomes of the Melaka state election on Nov 20? Not really, the results have been rather expected as it is with the low turnout.

It checks every box.

With Barisan Nasional becoming the biggest winner, winning a landslide victory with 21 seats out of 28 seats contested and also seeing Umno taking a total of 18 seats, MCA won two in Kelebang and Machap Jaya while MIC won one seat in Gadek.

These are mixed seats.

BN can certainly use this win to create a strong narrative for the upcomingGE15, more so for Umno to reestablish the narrative that Umno is the party of choice for the Malays.

As expected, the votes that went to PH during the last GE, typically went back to Umno eventually.
