Private TV and radio stations must not give air to Opposition

So, after Zam-Zam-Alakazam bashed the BBC for giving coverage to Malaysia's opposition leaders, now the BN government is lame enough to actually have the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), a regulatory body concerning electronic media and communications, issue a black and white letter instructing the private TV and radio stations not to give coverage to the opposition, as well as not to air speeches by them. Instead of such a lame arse attempt at muzzling the media further and try monopolise information in this day of the information age, the MCMC should instead buck up and stop the SMS scam which have been screwing consumers for ages. Instead of blocking legitimate information from Malaysians, please go stop the politically powerful from fleecing Malaysians. And that should be your main job, not being a peon following orders detrimental to the interests of Malaysians.
