Duta Court Complex, 5 Sept 2007. - The High Court has set 28 Nov 2007 as the date for mention of NSTP and 4's application for an inter-parte injunction against me. The injunction is aimed at stopping me from blogging about the media organisation, three current employees - Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan, Hishamuddin Aun and Syed Feisal Albar - and a former editor, Brenden Pereira. In January 2007, the plaintiffs failed to obtain a ex-parte injunction against me.
Next Tuesday (Sept 11), blogger Jeff Ooi will be in court to apply to merge his case with mine. Jeff, who is Vice President of the National Alliance of Bloggers, is also being sued for defamation by NSTP and 3 others (Syed Feisal Albar, the NSTP chief executive officer, is not suing him).
In his case, the NSTP and Tiga got an ex-parte injunction to stop him from writing any more stuff about them.
Thank you all for Walking With Us.

Don't you think its a real embarrassment that a large organisation - a print Goliath at that - has to resort to the courts which many Malaysians doubt its very integrity?
ReplyDeleteIts like a herculean step brother going to his mama crying "mama, Ahiruddin and Jeff are making faces at me!" - Amir
Rocky and Screenshots
ReplyDeleteMarching into court
By NSTP and 4 others
Filing suits of defamation
The whole bloggers watching
Knowing it is serious
Of our ways to blog
We can’t let power muscle us
Into timid mouse in cat’s shadow
The time is now
The battle must be fought
In words in ink in global world
No one should stop us
Marching into righteousness
Of fair play for even fields
No one should make wrong right
In court process to muscle the weak
Don’t they forget about David?
He slew the Goliath with his sling shot
Only one shot he made history
The walk with bloggers
Every one should make it
Help in monetary fund
Give them a peace of mind
The All Blogs should make the ball rolling
I am sure many will come to chip in
since the commencement of the suit, I have not bought one piece of nasy pee or any other papers from the group. we must remain steadfast in our boycott. hit the where it hurts most.
ReplyDeleteIn solidarity with Rocky and Jeff.
Hi Bro, both your cases are taking a very long time to settle.It must be very awful to go through all this. Wishing you both the very best and good luck in your cases.
ReplyDeletesorry to digress, rocky. readers who are interested may want to take a peek at the Sultan of Perak's guestbook (www.books.dreambook.com/duli/duli.html. interesting posting there.
ReplyDeleteBro, the Empat-ekors will be annoyed for you have not mention their accompanying titles like 'Latuk, Latuk Seri & Latin' to their names after spending so much on it! lolx
ReplyDeleteRocky,
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you with your case.
Good move, Anonymous 2.14.
ReplyDeleteThe grovelling drivel in the mainstream press as exemplified by the NST and Star hardly even qualifies as 'half-truths; 'Baldfaced lies, shameless sycophancy and propaganda' would be a more accurate term.
I have boycotted the NST for about 10 years, boycotted the Star for about 5 years, and am constantly calling on people around me to boycott these propaganda organs disguised as 'national newspapers'.
Lord Zam-zam-ala-kaZam himself has implicitly acknowledged that the 'mainstream media' are losing their credibility among the public and there is a growing trend towards seeking information from alternative media like the online news portals and blogs.
Why? Because as one other reader said, if you read the mainstream papers you'd get the impression that we are all shiny happy people, UMNO-BN leaders all have golden halos and the Midas touch, the M'sian economy is the most prosperous in the world, Proton cars are superior to Audis, Toyotas etc etc. What you read in the NST/Star and what you see on the ground just don't jive. It's pure, distilled bullshit. Absolut BS. 200-proof.
The online news portals and credible blogs on the other hand provide the bitter medicine of reality. Small wonder that more and more people are turning to alternative media to verify their information.
Of course, the powers-that-be fear losing their grip on the minds of the people and in desperation are resorting to intimidation tactics like this lawsuit to try and suppress the alternative media.
Guess what, it ain't working.
In solidarity with Rocky, Jeff and Audra.
The longer it takes, the richer some lawyers become.
ReplyDeleteShareholders of nasty pee will just have to sit by and take it. *sigh*
With you, Rocky & Jeff!
ReplyDeleteMainstream media stinks to the core...mere BN mouth piece......May the force be with Bloggers !!
ReplyDeleteAssalamulaikum Saudara Rocky,
ReplyDeleteSaya ingin berkongsikan satu pengalaman bersama Syarikat Media Gergasi semalam.
Syarikat yang mempunyai 4 stesen TV percuma telah mengadakan majlis bersama agensi dimana mereka telah mempersembahkan line-up untuk tahun 2008.
Majlis tersebut yang berlangsung di KLCC Convention centre telah dihadiri oleh lebih 3 ribu jemputan.
Majlis yang berlangsung dari jam 4 - 6 petang dipersembahkan dengan pelbagai persembahan dari Ceo setiap stesen.
Apa yang saya ingin kongsikan adalah rasa kurang senang selepas majlis berlangsung.
Terdapat majlis makan-makan selepas persembahan. Didalam Majlis tersebut minuman keras turut dihidangkan. Memanglah apabila ada majlis yang melibatkan agensi, arak adalah satu kemestian.
Apa yang berbeza pada kali ini, arak dihidangkan dedalam gelas yang sama dengan gelas-gelas minuman tanpa alkohol.
Tanpa saya sedari saya telah terminum minuman air buah yang dicampur dengan arak.
Saya tidak pernah meminum arak seumur hidup, walaupun saya belajar di luar negara dan selalu keluar negara hampir setiap bulan.
Perbezaan pada kali ini adalah ianya berlaku didalam suasana majlis keislaman. Apabila menghadiri majlis di syarikat yang membawa rancangan Al-Kuliyyah, Akademi Islam, jejak rasul dan sebagainya, fikiran kita tidak bertukar kepada fasa berjaga-jaga untuk minuman yang haram. Pada fasa ini fikiran kita telah dikelirukan dan dengan secara tidak sengaja saya telah pertamakalinya meminum minuman yang haram.
Didalam majlis yang sama juga, betul-betul disebelah kaunter yang menyediakan minuman keras, telah berlangsung pertunjukan fesyen busana muslim.
Bayangkanlah suasana keislaman telah dicampuradukan dengan perkara yang haram.
Memang tidak dinafikan hidangan minuman keras adalah perkara biasa didalam Majlis yang di anjurkan oleh syarikat ini sejak bertahun yang lampau, namun apabila ianya dicampur adukan didalam suatu dewan kewajarannya sukar untuk difahami.
Mungkin ini tidak menjadi isu untuk ramai pengamal-pengamal media, namun saya terpanggil untuk berkongsikannya kerana ramai tetamu yang datang juga menerima nasib yang sama seperti saya pada malam tersebut.
Selepas majlis berlangsung saya ada menghubungi ustaz dan bertanyakan mengenai perkara tersebut, Ustaz berkata ianya perlu dinyatakan kepada pihak pengurusan.
Itu agak sukar untuk dilakukan kerana saya mempunyai kepentingan secara tidak langsung.
Saya terfikir jika saya kongsikan pengalaman ini dengan saudara Rocky mungkin ianya akan dibaca oleh pihak pengurusan dan diharap ianya tidak akan berlaku lagi pada masa-masa hadapan.
Pengajaran yang boleh diambil adalah, rezeki adalah dari tuhan, rezeki yang melimpah juga adalah merupakan satu ujian.
Tujuan saya berkongsikan pengalaman ini bukan untuk memburukan syarikat tersebut, tetapi sekadar untuk ingatan, jika mungkin syarikat kita akan menganjurkan majlis seperti itu, perlulah kita asingkan yang haram dan yang halal.
Rocky and Jeff.. All the way... I spiritually support you.. coz I can't do anything legally...
ReplyDeleteGo on and win this...
I walk with you...
ReplyDeletesounds like I am doing a badawi on TDM in hospital but I really do.. ADMIRE yr guts!!
ck - we do not hv to do anything illegally; just walk with yr brothers ok?
In the 1st place we did NOTHING wrong...or is having a brain a crime?
Or having an opinion a crime?
Or revealing and exposing corruption and harm to yr nation and countrymen a crime??
We know now in Bolehland, all those are CRIMES!!!
You and Jeff are not alone.
ReplyDeleteWe are with you.
And you know what I think about the NST paying their legal fees!
Like i've said before---the longer it takes to finish your case, the more comfortable those buggers are.
ReplyDeleteAs it ia---there must be many news about them which you couldn't write about bro, and we couldn't read .
Bermaharajalelalah those f.......
Sigh.......
Ahiruddin
ReplyDeleteSiapa Kalimullah Hassan? Ada blogger yang mengenali dia memberitahu, KH bukanlah orang kaya asal. Pada tahun 1985 dia masih menggunakan van ford seperti kereta sapu. Hendak beli motosikal pun tidak ada wang. Nasibnya baik apabila dia dibuang dari menjadi Setiausaha Akhbar TPM Ghaffar Baba di atas arahan Tun Dr M. Kata blogger itu lagi, Ghaffar kasihankan KH lalu memberikan banyak projek kepadanya. Dari situlah , ia mula membeli kereta baru, melabur di dalam perniagaan bersama kawan Cinanya dan baru membeli rumah teres. Bapanya seorang peniaga kedai kain berukuran 22'x80' di Pengkalan Hulu. Pernah beberapa kali menghadapi masalah dengan pihak Kastam. Oleh sebab itu KH sangat berdendam dengan Kastam sehingga ke hari ini. Mengikut blogger itu lagi, apa yang dia tahu, KH berpelajaran sehingga Form 5 (3 rd grade).
Saya berharap Ahiruddin dan Jeff akan memenangi kes ini.
Jeff and You have in a way, lost.
ReplyDeleteBoth of you have become quite tame in your postings. You shy away from hitting them. You become too careful and exercise alot of self-sensorship.
If your cases lasts 10 years, you would have to be "good boys" for this time.
So who is "winning" really?
copy&paste.
