Utusan Malaysia recently had a protracted polemic with Sin Chew Daily where the Umno-owned mouthpiece accused the Chinese press for being racially partisan.
Today, an Utusan Malaysia opinion piece started to accuse Malaysia's English press for "fanning racial issues".
The writer, pseudonamed Tan Melaka, vilified The Star as "a newspaper supported by the Chinese that is pro-DAP and pro-Malaysian Malaysia and opposed to 1Malaysia" (akhbar ini adalah akhbar yang didukung oleh orang Cina yang pro-DAP dan juga pro-Malaysian Malaysia serta menentang 1Malaysia).
Is The Star still run by Chinese, staffed by Indians and worked for DAP? Isn't it Operasi Lalang was through, and (long live journalists but) journalism is dead?
I never dreamed DAP can cast such a magic spell over The Star till this day.
