Harga Kereta Turun: Laporan Utusan Tipu Kata PKR

KUALA LUMPUR: Penafian oleh syarikat pengeluar kereta terhadap laporan Utusan kononnya berlaku penurunan harga kereta oleh kerajaan BN,  memperlihatkan akhbar Umno itu 'cuba menipu', kata Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

Pengarah Komunikasi PKR itu berkata, episod memalukan ini mendedahkan betapa terdesaknya Umno BN di dalam berhadapan dengan kempen #TurunkanHargaKereta Pakatan.

"Justeru, laporan Utusan bahawa 10 model kereta telah mencatatkan penurunan harga adalah suatu percubaan terdesak untuk memperbodohkan rakyat. Kedua-dua Volkswagen dan Peugeot sudah menafikan dakwaan tersebut. Portal berita Malaysian Insider turut mendedahkan dakwaan pengurangan harga Honda Jazz Hybrid juga tidak benar.

"Sekali lagi, Utusan menunjukkan betapa akhbar yang suatu ketika dahulu menjadi mendepani kewartawanan Melayu kini menjadi simbol etika kewartawanan yang pincang di dalam usahanya untuk menjaga kepentingan politik pemiliknya, Umno," katanya.

Pembuat Kereta Sangkal Dakwaan Utusan Mengenai Penurunan Harga

KUALA LUMPUR, 13 Jun – Pembuat kereta Volkswagen dan Peugeot kedua-duanya telah menafikan penurunan harga tahun ini seperti dilaporkan oleh akhbar milik Umno Utusan Malaysia tiga hari lalu sebagai bukti gabungan pemerintah itu menunaikan janji pilihan raya mereka.

Utusan telah melaporkan Volkswagen, Peugeot, Honda dan pembuat kereta tempatan Proton dan Perodua telah menurunkan harga sepuluh model mereka sehingga 11 peratus bermula Januari tahun ini, menyiarkan senarai harga sebagai bukti kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) telah menunaikan janji mereka untuk menurunkan harga kereta dalam manifesto Pilihan Raya 2013.

“Sila ambil perhatian, harga di imej itu tidak tepat. Harga Golf memang RM157,888 semenjak dilancarkan. Bukan RM169,888,” kata wakil dari Volkswagen Malaysia di akaun Facebook mereka merujuk kepada salah satu model Golf.

Proton Refutes Utusan Report On Lower Car Prices

PETALING JAYA: National car company, Proton Edar Sdn Bhd has denied Malay daily Utusan Malaysia’s report of lower car prices.

In a letter widely circulated on Facebook, Proton’s Head of Network Planning and Development Dvision Salawati Mohd Yusoff said that Utusan did not obtain the car manufacturer’s approval before publishing the report.

“We also did not provide any of the figures mentioned,” said Salawati.

She however said that the reduced car prices published by Utusan Malaysia referred to the “discounts offered by Proton Edar”.

Three days ago, the Umno-owned daily reported that the government is fulfilling its promise to slash car prices by announcing that 10 car models’ price would be reduced.

Utusan reported that among the car makers involved in the price reduction were Peugeot, Volkswagen, Perodua, Honda and Proton.

However, online media The Malaysian Insider today reported that Volkswagen and Peugeot have also refuted the daily’s report.

“Please be advised, the price on the image is incorrect. The (Volkswagen) Golf price has always been RM157,888 from the time of launch. Not RM169,888 as reported,” a representative from Volkswagen Malaysia was reported saying.

Peugeot Malaysia also clarified Utusan’s report, saying its 308 Vti’s RM102,888 price is not a discounted price but has always been the price tag for the vehicle.

Honda also was reported saying that its Honda Jazz Hybrid had always been priced at RM89,900 since its launch last year.

Salawati, in her letter, advised her sales team to inform customers of the discounts via its 1Malaysia June Sales Campaign Memos.

“And you will notice, based on the discounts that we offer, the percentage is actually bigger than those quoted in the newspaper,” she said.

She urged Proton Edar’s sales team to look at the bright side of the report as it would show that Proton was in favour of the government’s initiative to reduce car prices.

“It’s a perfect opportunity to eradicate the wait and see approach by consumers and get them to buy a new car now,” she said.

Mahkamah Dapati Utusan Fitnah Anwar

Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur hari ini mendapati Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd dan ketua pengarangnya Datuk Abdul Aziz Ishak memfitnah ketua pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dalam satu laporan di akhbar milik Umno itu pada awal tahun lalu.
Hakim Datuk VT Singham dalam penghakimannya mendapati, laporan di muka hadapan dan halaman 10 Utusan Malaysia pada 17 Januari itu menjejaskan reputasi Anwar dan menyebabkan ahli politik itu dicemuh dan dipandang hina.

Mahkamah menetapkan kos sebanyak RM45,000 manakala gantirugi akan ditetapkan pada 15 Februari.

Singham turut menegur Utusan kerana gagal mengamalkan kewartawanan yang bertanggungjawab.

Kerajaan Selangor Saman Utusan Atas Artikel PKNS

SHAH ALAM 31 OKT : Kerajaan Selangor akan menyaman akhbar Utusan Malaysia dan Timbalan Ketua Pengarangnya ekoran satu artikel tidak benar dan berunsur jahat berkenaan status pemilikan lima aset Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS).

“Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri kesal dengan artikel yang disiarkan Utusan Malaysia hari ini.

Press Release: Azmin Ali Sues Utusan Malaysia for RM 100 Million Over Fake Sex Photos

I refer to the publication of fake images and false allegations of an extra-marital liaison in the media and blogs against PKR Deputy President Azmin Ali. The allegations and photographs are fabricated, politically motivated and the lowest kind of gutter journalism. As usual, the photos have been widely published in the BN owned media and pro-UMNO blogs. Utusan Malaysia published the images in a particularly vicious and calculated manner. Images of a pornographic nature implicating the Gombak MP were splashed on the front pages of Utusan Malaysia on 2.5.12. We hold Prime Minister and President of UMNO Najib Tun Razak personally responsible for the publication of the photos. It is impossible that character assassination of this scale could be carried out by Utusan Malaysia without the approval and knowledge of Najib, whose UMNO ruling party owns Utusan Malaysia.

Today, Azmin Ali has through his solicitors Messrs Edwin Lim Suren & Soh issued a letter of demand to Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Berhad which owns Utusan Malaysia and its Editor demanding a withdrawal of the allegations and a public apology to be published in the front page of Utusan Malaysia. In view of the seriousness of the allegations and the nationwide circulation of the newspaper, Azmin Ali has demanded the sum of RM 100 million in damages. Azmin Ali has commenced these legal proceedings to vindicate his name and reputation as a national leader and politician, and to defend the right of the public to fair and clean journalism.

Gambar Lucah: Utusan Malaysia, TV3 Paling Tak Bermoral

Kegairahan Utusan Malaysia menyiarkan gambar lucah adegan seks di muka hadapan  semalam  terhadap Mohamed Azmin Ali, Timbalan Presiden Keadilan merupakan satu tindakan yang paling tak bermoral sebuah akhbar media arus perdana di Negara ini.

TV3 pula tanpa segan silu memutarkan fitnah melalui Ummi Hafilda untuk terus menerus mengaibkan Azmin Ali tanpa sedikitpun  merasa bersalah. 

Rakyat melihat kedua-dua media tersebut langsung tidak mempunyai etika kewartawanan dan kita beranggapan bahawa Editor kedua-dua organisasi media tersebut begitu rendah tahap profesionalisme mereka.

Masakan begitu mudah mereka menyiarkan gambar-gambar lucah yang di ambil dari blog-blog tempelan pro UMNO dan tanpa terlebih dahulu melakukan tindakan mengesahkan sumber kesahihannya sebaliknya terus menyiarkannya bagi menfitnah pemimpin-pemimpin utama Pakatan Rakyat.

Inilah dia organisasi media yang kononnya milik orang Melayu yang beragama Islam tetapi sebaliknya ianya sanggup diperkudakan sebegitu rendah martabatnya untuk mengaibkan seorang Melayu Islam yang lain.

 
Kita berpendapat bahawa media propaganda UMNO ini tidak mempunyai kredibiliti untuk menjadi lidah rasmi bagi orang Melayu secara keseluruhannya kerana tindak tanduknya jelas memperlihatkan kecenderungannya menyiakan segala perintah dan suruhan tuan-tuan UMNO mereka.

Sejarah negara telah menunjukkan bahawa pemimpin UMNO silih berganti semenjak zaman Mahathir hinggalah ke zaman Najib Razak,  memperalatkan media yang sama untuk menjaja cerita-cerita seks bagi menjatuhkan lawan politik mereka .

Jarang sekali mereka berani berdebat secara bersemuka untuk memperbincangkan isu-isu kepentingan rakyat, rasuah dan penyalahgunaan kuasa kerana mereka tahu kerana isu-isu sedemikian sebaliknya akan pula menjatuhkan mereka.

Rakyat Malaysia sudah matang dan mereka tidak tidak begitu terpengaruh dengan fitnah-fitnah adegan perlakuan seks yang dijaja oleh pemimpin UMNO terhadap pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat.

Christian Leaders Led to Their Slaughter

KUALA LUMPUR: Without mincing his words, a Catholic bishop criticised his fellow Christian leaders for allowing themselves to be used by the government to “please the other side”.

Instead of telling Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak the truth, Bishop Paul Tan of the Malacca-Johor diocese said the Christian leaders had become like “sheep being led to their slaughter.”

Commenting on the news reports on the meeting between Najib and the Christian leaders, led by the Malaysian Christian Federation (MCF) chairman Bishop Ng Moon Hing yesterday, Tan told FMT that he was extremely disappointed with the outcome.

“I was not at the meeting, so I don’t know what transpired and whether the newspapers reported the entire discussion. But if the news reports are true, then I am displeased and disgusted,” he said.

The luncheon meeting was held amid the raging controversy surrounding a Utusan Malaysia report which alleged that a Christian coup was in the making, with Christian leaders and DAP colluding to undermine the position of Islam.
