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
