Satar on the run
It has now been established that TV2 may not be the only television station running the Danish caricature footage on February 3, as alleged in Berita Harian yesterday.
The footage, which came from wire service APTN, was actually shown by another government-owned station, TV1's 'Warta Pagi' - a Malay-language news programme . It is believed to have also run the clip at 7am on the same day, says Malaysiakini.
A source in RTM told malaysiakini that most foreign items in TV2's Mandarin news were usually a translation of TV1's Malay-language programme which appeared earlier in the day.
NST's evidence
How did The NST get hold of the jugular to make Minister of Infomation Zainuddin Maidin look like a fool?
Little Birds say a person from the radio section in RTM has managed to tape the Feb 3 TV2 Mandarin News archive and pass it out. RTM launched a full-scale investigation yesterday, at the instruction of both the PM and DPM. The man has been identified and made to talk.
It is not known whether this is the same copy that dropped into The NST's hands. But Satar is on the run.
And he talked before he was on the run.
Related to this, media report has it that TV3 and ntv7, which are all owned by Media Prima, a listed company which owns The NSTP and linked to Umno, also carried similar footage on Feb 3 though they have niether confirm nor deny the news thus far.
If TV2 Mandarin News, the Chinese section head Goh is shitting bricks right now, is feeling threatend as a victim of media witch-hunting, it may turn out that it is not alone.
Meanwhile, Satar is on the run. And he talked before he went on the run.
Comments
"A source in RTM told malaysiakini that most foreign items in TV2's Mandarin news were usually a translation of TV1's Malay-language programme which appeared earlier in the day."
Let's highlight that.
And demand the authority to be FAIR AND SQUARE

Apparently there is an agency where you can purchase recordings of past news broadcasts ... just like doing a company search. If that's so, there's no need for someone inside to do a tape and sneak it out. Anyone can confirm?
