CAIRO, Thu.:
Malaysian students in Egypt are angry with the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) for ignoring the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in highlighting the problems faced by the Indian community in Malaysia.
Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said several groups of students who met him expressed their anger over Hindraf leaders' move to ask Britain's Queen Elizabeth II to intervene in Malaysia's internal affairs.
Their action was tantamount to challenging and showing disrespect to Malaysia's Constitutional Monarchy system and to Malaysians who are loyal to the country, he told reporters after meeting Egyptian Information Minister Anas Ahmed Nabeeh El-Feky here yesterday.
Zainuddin said: "In my view, by turning to Queen Elizabeth for help, Hindraf have portrayed themselves to be still under the British colonial rule and not as citizens of an independent and sovereign Malaysia.
"They have belittled the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in a subtle and a clever way, sidelining Malaysia's democratic system," he said.

MG: First, have you ever seen unbiased evidence of Al Jazeera falsifying reports? I have not. Second, have your politicians ever lied to you before? In my case in the USA, I cannot say yes.
So far for me, Al Jazeera has a better track record for honesty than the US Government.

dear Techfun,
thank you for your comment. i wish to state that I am not claiming Al Jazeera is falsifying news.
All i want is the truth.
Now, let me give you a sample of what i mean.
This is what Al Jazeera has claimed.

and now, this is what malaysian media says(watch till the end)

Clearly someone is telling lies here.
If Al Jazeera is not liying, they better start defending their point. else i would be forced to sue Al Jazeera to get the real truth out of everyone.
please note that i still have faith that Al Jazeera follows their Code of Ethics. But the whole country of malaysia has declared them as liers.
so tell me, how am i to accept, trust or use any information from Al Jazeera if my country declared them as liers ?

MG: i watched both videos and I don’t see any conflict. I did notice that on the second one, BEFORE the English portion, the footage was all of cheerful peaceful protesters with no evidence of the people sprayed with water or soap or whatever that was. And the person from the government kept contradicting himself about allowing protest and the protest being illegal. He seemed to refuse to give a clear answer.
Not speaking whatever language was being spoken on the early part of the video its hard for me to judge, but nothing in the Al Jazeera coverage seemed to be at odds with the video footage shown on both videos. The second video just seemed to stay away from that whole part of the protest where the police intervened.

Describing the coverage as biased, unfair and confusing to people living overseas, he said he would write to the station stating that the Government was aware of what the station was trying to do.
now thats what i call as a hard slam impact right on the face of Al Jazeera.
And being a fan of Al Jazeera you are now marked as a fan of Al Jazeera, the satellite television station that is biased, unfair and confusing the people.

they make use of Al Jazeera, took their video, edited it (with or without authorization), made the demonstration to look calm, and finally claim Al Jazeera to be a big lier and actors.
Kudos.
Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin the students in EGYPT……. we only have constitutional Monarch… Our Monarch can not exercise any of his power without being advised by the PM. and you being a Minister should know in our history our Kings have never played a role in Politics.
