First Blood @ Edge & NST, bang THAT drums of the: War Song

is taken from Culture Club's, third album, the 1984 released  Waking Up with the House on Fire album.  The single peaked at number two in the UK upon release.

WAKING up with the house on FIRE is exactly whats been happening at the Edge and NST,. as  the rank and file of these two media group's come to terms to the madness that has taken place .



And I heard them banging on hearts and fingersWAR
People fill the world with narrow confidenceLike a child at birth, a man with no defenceWhat's mine's my own, I won't give it to youNo matter what you say, no matter what you do
Now we're fighting.


THE Attorney General should resign for allowing the former Edge editor-in-chief Ahmad Azam Mohd Aris to be charged for criminal defamation over two news reports on the abnormal surge in penny stocks in 2020 and 2021. 

WHILE the Prime Minister should not take the bait and jump into the drama that is taking place in the New Straits Times .

THE Attorney General  played it by the books in charging the the editors at the Edge, yet he MUST resign or be forced out of office, because correct legally does not equate to having the WISDOM of seeing the much bigger picture of when civil action is much more suitable.

ALSO, it won't sit well with the public that one of the individual mentioned in the articles by the Edge,  is a man who has been spotted with the power brokers of BERSATU, who had been instrumental in getting Idrus Harun appointed as attorney general .

PRIME minister, Ismail Sabri. should stay clear from the drama at the NST, mainly because as Vice President of UMNO, Ismail Sabri has very little locus standi to go against the wishes of the UMNO president Zahid Hamidi , who has the right to make a call .

Also,. the group''s second largest shareholder Johari Abdul Ghani has rights too, as a dominant shareholder to protect his own interest.


THAT being said is Ahmad Lokman Mansor a much better journalist, than his alleged replacement, Farrah Naz Karim.? 

YES, HE IS, but in this game, being the better one does not count for much, and the editors who wrote the appeal should know this by now.

BUT if they have chosen to forget,.then they should ring up Ahhiruddin Attan, who runs the popular Rocky's Bru blog,  to REFRESH on how despite being close to Najib Razak,. he was overlooked for the job of Group Editor In Chief, when Najib assumed the Prime Ministership.

SIMPLY because he wouldn't sign up for the job by placing editorial independence on the altar for slaughter.
