他写新闻

—— 兼贺《当今大马》中文版成立五周年


他写新闻
不需要揣摩老板的心意
也不需要替庸俗的树桐佬
包装成人见人爱的文化佬

他写新闻
不给执政党的丑闻打折扣
也没帮主角打扮得白里透红
才让他漂漂亮亮出街

他写新闻
没有考虑一丁点反对党的心情
也没体谅他们的身体还很虚弱
就将他们见不得光的支持信公开

他写新闻
不管刮风下雨
也不管自己的衣服有没有淋湿
或者半夜是人是鬼来敲门

他写新闻
全凭它是不是事实
就算真相长得再丑
也让它上网去惊吓读者

主流媒体因此强烈批判
他写新闻
没有经过严格的审核标准
可信度矮矮的,不高

不像主流媒体泡的咖啡
会自动过滤掉咖啡渣
泡出来的新闻
才会又香又浓

他不管主流媒体趁夕阳西下
开什么联欢会,或高唱什么挽歌
他写新闻

朝着太阳升起的方向


He Writes News
- On the 5th anniversary of the Malaysiakini Chinese version

He writes news
Needless to fathom his boss's mind
And needless to do up the vulgar logger
To become a proud cultural man

He writes news
Gives no discount of the ruling party's scandals
And paints no rosy glow on the leader's cheeks
Before presenting him to the public

He writes news
Cares not even a slightest mood of the opposition party
Takes no notice of their still weak body
And continues to divulge their shady letter of support

He writes news
Regardless of the stormy weather
Regardless of his own soaking wet clothes
And, cares not whether a human being or a ghost pounding on the door

He writes news
Concerns only on the trueness
No matter how ugly the truth is
Will still expose it online to frighten readers

Hence, the mainstream media strongly criticizes
He writes news
Has not gone through any stringent monitoring standard
So, is short of credibility, obviously not high

And it isn't the coffee made by the mainstream media too
Which will routinely filter away the coffee grounds
only left the news that
Smells good in thick and fragrant aroma

But he does not care whether the mainstream media
Throwing any party or singing any elegy in the sunset
He writes news

toward the direction of the sunrise

This is a highly professional altitude of a news writer,
Without favour or fears on his writing,
Utmost important is his honesty and truthfulness of his piece of work,
Dare to promote freedeom of writings and speech,
Go beyong his capablity to enhance a brighter and unity for all Malaysian !

我有点不明白 :为什么在集权的中国,媒体人就是有一批“敢死队”。而半吊子民主的马来西亚,媒体人却更怕死?
