New heights of repression…
Najib Tun Razak, only days being premier, is already being condescending and patronising to the media: Najib wants fair and responsible media.

If at all, discerning readers of the media already know how to do that and that is why there are already calls for boycott of media who have become merely propaganda machines of the government.
