KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) — A day after it was suspended by the Internal Security Ministry, Makkal Osai has claimed that its rival, Tamil Nesan, also carried the offensive caricature of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Makkal Osai general manager S.M. Periasamy claimed that Tamil Nesan, the oldest Tamil newspaper in the country, carried the same image of Christ holding a cigarette in one hand and what appeared to be a can of beer in the other, on page 3 of its Aug 23 edition.<\/p>\n

He said following this, a report was lodged against Tamil Nesan at the Sentul district police headquarters here today.<\/p>\n

“That edition (Aug 23) carries a picture of Puchong MIC division head, Peter Sinnanppan, holding up the same offensive image of Christ which was enlarged to poster size.<\/p>\n

“Tamil Nesan repeated that image which is deemed sensitive and was a mistake to serve its political interest. So, appropriate action must also be taken against that newspaper,” said Periasamy.<\/p>\n

On Makkal Osai’s suspension, he said the newspaper’s management had also acted accordingly by suspending its staff who was responsible for inserting the offensive caricature.<\/p>\n

He said all its editorial staff had also been warned and told to be more careful with articles and pictures in future.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sentul district police chief, ACP K. Kumaran when contacted confirmed the police report which was lodged at 2.04pm.<\/p>\n

Makkal Osai’s publishing permit was suspended for a month from yesterday until Sept 24 after it carried the offensive caricature in its Aug 21 issue.<\/p>\n

Please people, dont ever say malaysian are treated fair and square…media is the medium to voice out nations cries and issue…indians didnt had one, all the news covers more and more on dato.GOD & co <\/em> plus it’s fully controlled by government\/MIC….it’s all about the politics and politics?where’s the concern about growth of indian community?where’s the care about indian community welfare?where’s the effort of fighting against discrimination on indians i.e. revathi’s issue?
but now when we have makkal osai to be our lil support, it’s being sabotaged…a very clever trick used by the involved person to cover up some people’s asses…why nesan is not suspended?they even did the same mistake rite? reason?bcuz nesan didnt speak the truth abt sujatha krishnan’s death..they dont do any coverage on that, but makkal osai does…if nothing is done to stop them (makkal osai) some ugly truth of the safest indian family in malaysia will be revealed??i dont know… \ud83d\ude15
living a life like this is fcuking fed up…nations media have to suck up max to the goverment and yet being bias in dealing with such a daylight issue….if publishing christ’s offensive caricature only done by the makkal osai, then “rakyat” wouldnt be so hot because they reserved the rights to do so, bt when nesan oso did the same thing, what is the punishment then? will there be one?naaahh, if one think so, he\/she gotta be dreaming living in neverland though…. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
