Maybe that is why the English newspapers missed reporting the opening of the Parliament 11th Meeting? But The Star also did not really report it. Wierd. No body is listening to what the King said?

OMG. Don't tell me those idiot in EPF buy NST in 2002.

Anyone please go and check the URL and read the income statement. There is little different these 2 company sales in 2004, but you can easily spot the different how both company runs.

For no apparent reason, NST operating cost is extraordianry high. For example, in 2004, NST 523 millions sales only give EBITDA 66 millions.

For Star, in 2004, their 692 millions sales EBITDA is around 210 millions, 3 times of NST.

Apparently, I don't need to ask people stop buyin NST, it seems they will collapse by their high operating cost.

What can i say ......
Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish !

And comming from A.Kadir Jasin, i'm not suprised ,a damned racist statement...."Yang meletakkan jawatan adalah Melayu kecuali seorang Kadazan" And " Daripada kira-kira 40 orang wartawan yang meletakkan jawatan daripada akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Inggeris, separuh daripadanya adalah Melayu." Kadir !!! You're one of those God's gift to Journalism kinda writers,if you have something to say,say it .If not ,SHUT the YOU KNOW WHAT !!!

So how much money will we need to sponsor NST now?

Has Kadir forgotten that it was during his time that senior journalists began leaving in droves. No exageration.

The rot set in during his time when he ruled with an iron hand - being the owner, and all.

He pursued selective persecution against those he thought were a threat. Many branded him a racist and accused him of building a "wall" to build his kingdom of "kow tow" journalists and keep away certain journalists, he feared.

Morale was at an all-time low then - although some say it is worse now under Kali. Whatever!

When the senior journalists kept leaving, he ordered the HR dept and NST chief clerk Anslem Rozario to find out when and how it all began.

They traced it to the departure of then news editor Frankie decruz and R Nadeswaran who had left after years of slogging for NST under stellar GEs to set up The Leader, Utusan Malaysia's english tabloid.

Many couldnt believe that Frankie and Nadeswaran had resigned - two outstanding journalists who were a shining example, why, motivating and inspiring their colleagues as well.

they never knew time, and it was all about getting the best story for the Malay Mail or NST the next day.

Then, their former boss MA Razman quit and the list got longer and longer.

Some of those who resigned under Kadir's "reign of terror" sought advice from me (me, being an elder in the industry) and I told them that they had better abandon the sinking ship quick!

When I asked Kadir, why so many good journalists had quit during his tenure at a function once, he said these were greedy people who were more interested in money than futhering themselves in their profession.

As I look at the names of the people who had taken VSS, many were once Kadir's "croonies". Kadir doesnt even have a thread to hang on in the NST now.

His attempts to undermine the current managment, using these third-rate "senior journalists" now lie in tatters.

What's next Kadir?

His holier-than-thou attitude now stinks.

This is...odd. I may not be a member of some inner circle of newsmen, but I know something has to be up. These are the sort of people (Lazarus Rokk, Ahirudin Atan, et al.) who were quite important to the NST -- propaganda or not, I've gotten used to seeing their bylines whenever I pick up today's copy. I'm a bit surprised Dazman Manan was still with them, though. I can't recall seeing her byline any time lately.

Kadir, journalist par excellence. Why mention race? Why insinuate and jepordise race relations just because - maybe - of a personal axe to grind?

D*mn you Kadir for stirring racial sentiments.

It is people like you and attitude like yours that is going to prevent the country from moving forward.

peace

Son of Jasin,i'm sure with all your years in the industry' u know people in high places. Why dont you pull kak dah's string(and i dont mean the G) and get a couple of thousand AP's for the "Kesemuanya 20 orang wartawan yang bekerja dengan akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Melayu yang meletakkan jawatan adalah Melayu kecuali seorang Kadazan(forget the Kadazan,He's only a native ) and some for the "40 orang wartawan yang meletakkan jawatan daripada akhbar-akhbar berbahasa Inggeris, separuh daripadanya adalah Melayu (that means 50% you moron !!) Forget the Non Melayu other half, they aint ...... ( pick reason)
