Mass Media on Morality

The Star has an interesting news article today, "Poll shows public will reject adulterous politicians."

Reporting on a recent survey by Merdeka Center, it said some 72% of the 1,018 participants of the 4th Quarter 2008 Peninsular Malaysia Voter Survey said they would not approve of a leader whose career has been tainted by such controversies.

The centre’s programme director, Ibrahim Suffian, said the results showed that the public took into consideration a politician’s personal life when choosing who to support, as it reflected the moral standing of the leader.

Is the article trying to suggest anything?

hey, the OKT is now using the lying paper to get rid of his main opponent.
you think OKT is any different from past MCA president. He is equally corrupt.Look how he used the taxpayers' money to pay a professional firm to justify the corrupt PKFA project which costs us RM4.7 billion.
when I see him, I will tell him straight in the face that he is just as corrupt with his cover-ups.

Indeed, the article is saying that only those caught with their zippers down are bad. [MCA's CSL, the thorn in OTK's side]

Those caught with their grubby fingers in the till is still OK. [likely the PKFZ sh*t that will smear MCA leaders]

Without a wholesale change of this present government, and a switch to untainted leaders, I can see our children working overseas as maids, garbage collectors, and construction workers.

Why don't we all get down to work already?
