Distortion of fact again

Dear Steven,
There is yet another distortion of fact in your article today titled: BN not serious in solving statelessness, says PKR

This seems to be becoming a a daily fare.
On 15th May I had wriritten about the distortion to Wayhta's designation in the article The new cabinet, by party and in numbers
Non-BN ministers and deputy ministers:
Idris Jala (Sarawakian, no party affiliation, retained)
Paul Low (Transparency International-Malaysia president, new)
Abdul Wahid Omar (Maybank chief executive officer, new)
P Waythamoorthy (disputed Hindraf chief, deputy minister)

I had written that he is the undisputed Hindraf Chief and not the dispued Hindraf chief and you corrected afterwards.

On May 17th I swrote to you about your article titled TI-M members question president's integrity.TI-M members question president's integrity
 
"The other two non-politicians are P Waythamoorthy, who leads a Hindraf faction and former Maybank president and chief executive officer Abdul Wahid Omar.".......................:

I wrote ,"There is only one registered Hindraf in the country and any faction of Hindraf will have to come from within its current membership.  Uthayakumar is the protem Secretary General of the Human Rights Party , he is not a member of Hindraf now. Please acknowledge understanding of this point." You sent me a mail acknowledging the mistake and made the correction after letting the story stay for many hours.

And today  in your article BN not serious in solving statelessness, says PKR it is:
Meanwhile in its newspaper advertisements nationwide following the MOU, the Hindraf splinter had said its rep, likely referring to Waythamoorthy, would find a solution “through an open, sympathetic and simple plan” that would be submitted to the prime minister for approval, within three months of his appointment.

What Hindraf Splinter group are you referring to. There is only one Hindraf in this country just as there is only one Malaysiakini in the country. There is no splinter group such as what you refer.

Steven, tell me that I am wrong. If u were in my position would you not come to the conclusion that there does seem to be an agenda to play down Hindraf. 

Steven, if MK does represent a new form of journalistic liberalism as you will want us to believe, then it must stop engaging in these kind of gutter journalistic practices. Plus you so loudly and frequently accuse the MSM of this kind of gutter practices in your columns.. If you carry on like this I have to conclude that you are just an opposition and online version of the MSM. 

I hope you treat this as positive feedback. It will be really good for MK, if you do. I want for a truly better Malaysia, not just another Malaysia.

Bets Regards
Ganesan
