BONEY M, which is still hugely popular in Malaysia, shared the same producer as Milli Vanilli, had sang its way to superstardom, by having its Caucasian producer Frank Farian READ : actually sing in place of the black male lead singer, a decade before Milli Vanilli was formed.
PEOPLE will give you many reasons, why is considered as a legendary group, while the other is still being spat at.
AT,the end of the day, whatever the reasons are, I believe the description of the African American revolutionary Muslim, Malcolm X description of the media sums it up.
"THE media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent . The press is so powerful in its image-making role".
SO what has all these gotta to do with the state we are at in Malaysia? Plenty, when you take into account, Free Malaysia Today's very racially slanted reporting on the READ : Malaysians involved in managing the now scandal tainted Prince Bank of Cambodia, which is apparently owned by a scam king involved in human trafficking.
NOTICE how Free Malaysia Today, choose only to high light and name, the Malay individual involved, eventhough the news portal states it is very well aware there are other Malaysians, involved in managing the bank in the days before the scandal broke.
TO some, they may see this as nothing, but this is coming from an online portal READ : where nearly 90 per cent of adult Malaysians are now active readers.
INDEED a fine place to sow the seeds of negatively tainted image building.
