Its one thing to report news inaccurately but its another when you begin to put words into the interviewee’s mouth.This is what happen to Jane recently; a reporter from a renown and respectable newspaper, was at the MMU’s Autoshow /DCM drift challenge in Malacca last weekend and and did an interviewed and took some pictures of Jane. As everyone knows towards the end of qualifying, it started to rain extremely heavily, our budding reporter friend assumed that the event was canceled and decided to do some creative journalism and imagined what Jane’s reaction would be. We contacted the said journalist but he insist it was the editors idea , which doesn’t make sense as which editor would want inaccurate news to be published under his care??..The best of all, the journalist even said something along the line of ” You should be happy what?..there’s a whole article on you” Hahahahahha ..Thats the Malaysian Press for you

I have to admit, this is only the second time I’ve been to the Dato Sagor track in Kampung Gajah but during both occasions I always had and always will, have the impression that the inhabitants of this serene kampung were nothing short of being the most hospitable and friendliest bunch of people I have ever met. Locals were ever so helpful whenever we were at the track; offering to buy us meals or drinks , helping us carry our tyres during changes even after we insist them not doing so. In fact, when Cheaka had some issues with her wheel spacer , one of the workshops nearby allowed us full excess to his tools and bolts without even batting an eye lid.
