A people movement in Malaysia is planning to boycott mainstream media as they tend to publish unbalanced and misleading stories.
“We started the campaign on not to buy papers such as Utusan Malaysia, Berita Harian, Metro, News Strait Times, on Thursday 29 November 2007 because they publish misleading information and so unbalanced,” said head of the movement Khalid Jaafar as quoted by Antara.
The people also demanded the media to be independent. “It cannot be influenced by anyone but its own editors.”
