The current situation

The current situation that is happening in our country examples like, our previous health minister, Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek, and Opposition party leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. They all hit the headlines of papers. They all made the matter look as if it's major crisis but in fact it is only a small matter, sensationalizing it. In one event, where Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim were asked to hand over his DNA samples to the police hit the main page with big bold letters attracting citizens to read it while at the bottom of the page lies a small column reporting a message by our PRIME MINISTER. The media are playing a part in the political world not only just reporting events but manipulating and exaggerating it to gain public interest. Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek resigned from his position of the head of Health minister because of a leak of a video of him with another woman in a room. The news was all over the papers and medias and even the western news. Because of the reports being flooded into newspapers gained public interest and somehow manipulating them, with repeated pressure from public forced Dr. Chua to resign. A political tactic using the media as a powerful weapon.
