Kit Siang: RTM, not RT'BN'!
After confering a new title 'Minister of Mis-information' to Information Minister Zainuddin Maidin two days ago, Parliamentary Opposition Leader YB Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) today once again gave the RTM (Radio Televisyen Malaysia) a new name - RT'BN' (Radio Televisyen Barisan Nasional).
The issue started when Kit Siang and another Deputy Information Minister Chia Kwang Chye (BN-Bukit Bendera) debated on the role and responsibilities of RTM in news reporting, in which was seen as giving a very biased coverage of news.
RTM was found guilty of not reporting the facts and exact number of people who had attended the BERSIH rally last Saturday.
Kit Siang stressed that the state-owned television station RTM should report the truth and give a 'free and fair' coverage to all news because it is ran by the taxpayers' money.
"RTM is not television station of BN. It is not RT'BN', but RTM - Radio Televisyen Malaysia!"
