Why pay RM 1.5 for something lesser ?

I always felt i am blessed for being sent into a Chinese Primary school by my parents. Though after primary school i was transfered into "normal" school which had no mandarin class. But the learning in primary has set enough foundation for me to move on with my own journey. I pick up more words and vocabulary via news paper and literatures.

The education i had in primary allows me to read both Chinese and English dailies, but normally, i won't buy news paper, as i don't believe in main stream media anyway, i just browse through them whenever there is availability, if not, i would just made do with what is on the net.

Today, i read through SinChew at mum's place and found a column which Mukriz talked about Malay Speicial rights. In the column, Mukriz mentioned that Malay Special Rights are not meant for eternity, it can be removed by the Malay themselves once they are comfortable to compete. He further justify that point by referring to Vision 2020 ( his father's baby), which does not even talk about Malay Privilege.

I then left my mum's place after dinner ( i normally dine there), as usual, i would just goto mamak stall, asked for a cup of black coffee and a ciggie. Since there was Sxxr news paper around, i just looked through it , trying to find out similar writing as in SinChew. Guess what, i couldn't find it, i browse through few times but still no where to be found.

It seems the media didn't learn, still practicing filtering in news. It would be hard to convince myself that Mukriz did not invite reporters from the Sxxr paper. And it is too obvious a reason if to skip publishing this news. So, i am very much convinced that Sxxr has decided to drop the news.

Really, why are we still pay RM 1.5 to buy this paper when we know what we get was either distorted or less informed news.
