When we reach 40, we are advised by doctors to change our diet and lifestyle in order to avoid the dreaded coronary disease that has become the number one cause of early deaths.
What is shocking is that the Suhakam commission was brave enough to make that conclusion, and in the full limelight of the online media. Now, how did Malay dailies react to news on the enforced disappearances? I read all the Malay dailies, scoured through their pages. None of them carried the earth-shattering pronouncement by Suhakam.Two possible hypotheses need to be put to test.
The second hypothesis is that the Malay news media care only about what Malays are fed to believe and do not see it as their responsibility to change media consumption. Firstly, non-Malays are loved and even adored by Malay dailies in the sports section. They become very Malaysian if Lee Chong Wei delivers the cup. Even if a Chinese superstar athlete joins DAP, they would probably still love him.
