Malaysia's Image Tarnished In BBC's Apology

A Kadir Jasin

(If you are commenting “anonymously”, please state your name/pseudonym at the beginning and end of your comment. Thank you.)

UNDER the headline “BBC to issue global apology for documentaries that broke rules”, UK’s The Independent newspaper reported that “The BBC will today apologise to an estimated 74 million people around the world for a news fixing scandal, exposed by The Independent, in which it broadcast documentaries made by a London TV company that was earning millions of pounds from PR clients which it featured in its programming.

“BBC World News viewers from Kuala Lumpur to Khartoum and Bangkok to Buenos Aires will watch the remarkable broadcast, available in 295 million homes, 1.7 million hotel rooms, 81 cruise ships, 46 airlines and on 35 mobile phone platforms, at four different times, staged in order to reach audiences in different time zones. The BBC will apologise for breaking "rules aimed at protecting our editorial integrity".

The Independent exposed last year in an investigation into the global television news industry how the BBC paid nominal fees of as little as £1 for programmes made by FBC Media (UK), whose PR client list included foreign governments and multinational companies. The company made eight pieces for the BBC about Malaysia while failing to declare it was paid £17m by the Malaysian government for "global strategic communications".

The programmes included positive coverage of Malaysia's controversial palm oil industry

According to the report, investigations into the scandal “uncovered 15 breaches of editorial guidelines”, of which eight were related to FBC’s programmes on Malaysia.

The apology, according to the report, will read: "In the case of eight other programmes, all of which featured Malaysia, we found that the production company which made the programmes appeared to have a financial relationship with the Malaysian government.

“This meant there was a potential conflict of interest, though the BBC was not aware of it when the programmes were broadcast.”

That the BBC had been duped into airing the programmes, is its problem. The British broadcaster is paying the price for its oversight.

What should concern us is that taxpayers’ money paid to FBC Media. Its unprofessional conduct has caused our country shame. Instead of benefiting from FBC costly handiwork, Malaysia’s image has instead been further damaged.

The question is: How could our government (and its agencies) have made such a mistake when we know that teams upon teams of “high-powered” media professionals have been employed by Putrajaya since Prime Minister Mohd Najib took over in 2009?

Did they not know who or what FBC Media is? To have their “global strategic communications” contractor caught red-handed and with its pants down, does not speak well of the government’s media teams and personalities.

Perhaps this is the problem and outcome of being too dependent on outside advisers and consultants, and not being hands-on enough.

16 million pound is about RM68million based on the current currency conversion.

That is a lot of money to spend asking somebody to say good things about us. Furthermore BBC is not in the advertising business.

I guessed the whole exercise is no longer strategic anymore.

Is BBC Reckless Or Negligent?
(how is queen's park rangers doing)

Bad practice: The stories

Hosni Mubarak

As Egypt was in the throes of a revolution, the BBC commissioned FBC to make a documentary on the country. But the firm had a commercial relationship to promote Egypt as "liberal and open". The programme, Third Eye: Egypt, warned of the threat of takeover by Islamic fundamentalists...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/tv-radio/bbc-to-issue-global-apology-for-documentaries-that-broke-rules-6719997.html

Did they not know who or what FBC Media is?

Apakah ini akan kecutkan perut Raja Minyak Sawit atau FGV?

Siapakah Raja Minyak Sawit?
Adakah Raja Minyak Sawit lebih handal dari Tun Daim?

Dan kenapa masih ada lagi cerita 'the country's palm-oil industry and its treatment of rainforests and indigenous people'?
PMOB buat apa?
Harga saham FGV?
Haruskah The independent diberi tahniah?

Assalamualaikum,

YBhg Dato' dan Pembahas yang saya hormati. Amat menyedihkan. Dapatkah ahli UMNO membaiki keadaan dengan menegur kepimpinan supaya balik kepangkal jalan apabila tersasar. Nampaknya agak sukar apabila vetran UMNO boleh menerima surat tunjuk sebab dari UMNO bila mengeluarkan pendapat yang tidak disenangi pemimpin UMNO inikan pula ahli-ahli yang bercita-cita tinggi.

As a Malaysian, I am very sad indeed with the latest debacle.

Najib's administration has time and time again failed to understand that a brand image is not at all about cosmetic treatment. His expensive communication team should be sacked immediately.

Its like having a corporate joke that rebranding is all about changing the logo.

What Najib should be doing is concerntrating on those major transformation programs he has announced thus ensuring the rakyat and the country truly benefits from it.

Those are good plans. Put your heart into it.

In addition, seriously he should do away from his current 'Santa Claus' efforts that in most cases were unneccesary and politically ill advised.

The rakyat problems and those disgruntle voices should be analysed in totality with clear objectives of wanting to better the situation rather than throwing millions everywhere everytime he visited, especially, a Chinese or Indian community.

Does Najib really think that those 'political bribes' can really work? Is that how low he thinks of his own people?

Does anybody from his office realise that we are actually living in the year 2012!

The faster he realise that actual good works that pays strong and honest dividends, is better for the country.

Lets hope Najib won't end up like Abdullah Badawi who were so very proud for being advised by a bunch Ivy League graduates, only to realise while those boys were academically intelligent, they are unfortunately were not street savvy nor smart.

Learning a thing or two from Mahathir's era that was not positively accepted by the international media in general but has proven to be highly effective for the country in total.

I seriously would like to think and hope that the basic 101 mistakes of Abdullah's era is actually a thing in the past.

If not, we'll be spending many more years of hot air political uncertainties like today where even jokers could sit in our parliament due to our government's gross mistakes.

And if this is not tackled immediately, please stop blaming the Malays for 'Mengkhianati Perjuangan', because the root in this case is at the top.

And we'll kiss goodbye to Vision 2020.

Salam Datuk, perhaps everyone in the world was doing the same thing. So its hard to blame our government for engaging a PR agency especially to write on a media sensitive issue of palm oil.

Mengapa Melayu bodoh begini ?
Semuanya di outsource kan kepada pihak perunding dari syarikat telekom , Khazanah, TNB, FELDA dan sebagainya.padahal syarikat2 ini ada depatment khas untuk business dvelopment.
Tapi kita masih ada jabatan kerajaan di anggotai oleh ramai pekerja melayu belaka dengan gaji tinggi-tinggi dari pengarah sampai peon. Ada syarikat lain yang menjadi perunding untuk Sijil Halal , padahal JAKIM pula buat benda yang sama. Duplicate !
Lihat lah PROTON dah berapa kali di tukar tangan dari HICOM ke Tan Sri Yahya dan kemudian ke PETRONAS dan kemudian ke KHAZANAH NASIONAL. Kini ke tangan Syed Mohktar.
Tapi riwayat hidup PROTON selalu rugi dan model keretanya tipu habis-habis MITSUBISHI Jepun aje.

Pelaburan PROTON diluar negara seperti LOTUS dan AUGUSTA lenyap begitu sahaja.
Sama juga dengan MAS....

wang berjuta-juta diberi kepada perunding luar negara untuk promosi hanya kayakan orang luar dan agennya di sini.

Lately Murujib has been talking non-stop of everything that can bring good to the country. He always wants to become a true statesman and to be seen as a reformer. UMNO has been lying too much in the past especially to the Malay community and it’s not surprising that there are so many sceptics to Prime Minister Murujib’s proposed political reforms after 54 years UMNO in power.

'Setiap sesuatu ada jangka hayatnya' and the same may apply to UMNO. I predict UMNO will be varnished from this soil if not by this coming 13th GE it will be the 14th GE. Insyaallah

Datuk, seeking clerification. Who engaged FBC ltd? Najib or Taib Mahmud? Some reports said Taib. If it was Taib, why don't Najib and his teams upon teams of media operators and advisers (to quote Datuk) clerify?

RM80 million is a lot of money to pay and to have our country laughed at. If it was Najib, he must apologize to Malaysians and if it was Taib, he must apologize to Malaysians and Sarawakians.

The MACC must investigate how the contract was given out.

Debater Rtd Journo and other esteemed commentators, I tried to get clerification. I have done and received the following response:-

1. I sent the following SMS to a media adviser to the PM: “Needs yr response. Wrote in my blog about the fbc fiasco. A reader wants to know who engaged fbc, (PM) najib or (CM) taib? Tq. It was sent at 10.27am on 13-2-12. It was not responded to until today (14-2-12);

2. Then, on the same day, at 2.42pm, I forwarded the SMS to another media operative of the PMO;

3. At 5.15pm, he replied: “Datuk, I shd be getting some answers by tomorrow. I have my suspicions, but not getting any info as yet. Will update.” and

4. Until 4.15pm today, Feb. 13, I am yet to get their reply as to who engaged FBC.

Thank you.

Huh, I thought in real business dealings it's all about what you pay and what you get. Now BBC cares about all these craps "breaches of editorial guidelines".....

News is out for a reason. Products are out for a reason. Even guns and bombs are out for a reason.

British came to the east to colonise for a reason. Iraq, Libya invaded for a reason.

Even BBC's Apology was for a reason. I wish to ponder on the underlying reason of such apology.... It has deeper meaning I suspect.

Izinkan,

Datuk Kadir Jasin in parts wrote,

... BBC paid nominal fees of as little as £1 for programmes made by FBC Media (UK), whose PR client list included foreign governments and multinational companies...

Who then have to cough-out the money to finance the documentaries made by the London TV company (presumably a business entity)if not from its clients?
Sir, we gathered that Nike spent US$2.8 billion in 2008 for its adverts campaign to boost its products sales and herein it's reported that the malaysian gov't spent £17m ( appx. RM90M) for positive coverage of Malaysia's controversial palm oil industry..

Isn't it obvious that ' nothing is free' (perhaps only the air that we breathe) and with the “BBC World News viewers from Kuala Lumpur to Khartoum and Bangkok to Buenos Aires will watch the remarkable broadcast, available in 295 million homes, 1.7 million hotel rooms, 81 cruise ships, 46 airlines and on 35 mobile phone platforms, at four different times, staged in order to reach audiences in different time zones" we believe the amount is 'sensible' to safeguard Malaysia's multi billion palm oil industry...

The question of editorial ethics is for BBC and never did they wondered how the hell the FBC Media (UK) finances it projects (documentaries) if BBC pays only ONE sterling pound to broadcast them?... common 'sen' shud prevail, dear sir.

What's prevailing is a 'manoeuver' by some hidden hands to discredit the current Malaysian govt and timely when the country is going to the polls...isn't it obvious?

Tak habis2 kisah penipuan UmnoBn terbongkar. Terbaru siasatan Jawatankuasa Parlimen(PSC)mendapati beribu kes pengundi dilonggokkan pd alamat yg bukan alamat mereka sebenar tapi alamat rumah org lain.

Kejadian spt ini pernah saya sendiri pd PRU 2004 dimana rumah saya di PJ menerima 19 keping kad nama 19 pengundiMelayu yg berlainan yg kononnya beralamat dirumah saya. Saya memberi tau isteri dan kawan2 kerana yakin ini adalah tektik kotor SPR dan UmnoBn mencampakkan nama penyokong Pas di Kelantan atau Terengganu agar mereka tidak dpt mengundi di kawasan mereka sendiri. Kesannya kerajaan Pas Terengganu tumbang tak melawan langsung..

Ramai orang2 cerdik mengakui bahawa kerajaan Pas Terengganu ditumbangkan dgn mudah sekali akibat 5 operasi kotor bersepadu. Pertama nama penyokong Pas dibuang negerikan. Kedua nama penyokong Umno dari negeri yg mereka yakin akan menang dgn mudah spt Johor dipindah untuk mengundi di Teengganu. Ketiga secara tipudan peras ugut tidak membenarkan polis dan tentera mengundi mengikut pilihan mereka sendiri. Keempat membenarkan org lain menundi bagi pihak org lain yg namanya telah dinyah keluar tadi. Dan yg kelima memberi rasuah tunai separuh sebelum undi dan separuh lagi selepas BN menang.

Hebat hebat memang hebat. Kotor kotor memang kotor. Sejahat2 Yahudi pun kita tak dengar mereka tipu dalam pilihan raya.

Kalau kerja tipu spt ni dibenar berterusan maka tak guna ada pilihan raya sebab pemenangnya telah pun ditetapkan. Spr pun lebih baik ditutup agar dpt jimat wang rakyat.

Lagi cepat kes ini dibawa kemahkamah lagi bagus. Soal saksi tak masaalah sebab yg diaaniaya tentu berbondong akan sanggup hadir sebagai saksi, kakitangan Spr yg terpaksa melakukan demi periuk nasi tapi dah insaf tentu ada yg berani hadir, polis dan tentera yg di paksa undi Bn jugak ramai yg berani tampil dan terakhir mantan pengerusi Spr yg tak ada apa2 nak rugi atau nak takut kecuali pd Allah tentu berani beri keterangan.

Logiknya hanya hakim jahat saja yg tidak berani mensabitkan kesalahan UmnoBn. Kalau kena dgn hakim berani dan adil UmnoBn boleh dihukum bubar dan pemimpinnya tak dibenar bertanding 10 tahun atau lebih.

Rakyat termasuk penyokong Umno hendaklah terus mendesak kerajaan UmnoBn agar cepat meletak jawatan kerana kerajaan mereka dibentuk secara haram dan gaji yg mereka beri makan anak bini tu haram, gaji yg mereka guna pergi haji atau umrah tu haram.

Kalaulah polis, peguam negara, Sprm dan hakim kita benar2 bebas, dah lama kerajaan UmnoBn dimuziumkan.

Awas orang Melayu termasuk penyokong Umno yg saya kasihani. Di bawah pentadbiran Najib yg terlalu percaya pd Cina bernama Koh Tsu Koon dan seorang bernama Melayu tetapi agamanya Kristian iaitu Idris Jala saya syak banyak jawatan Melayu disektor awam akan lupus atau redundant akibat satu progrm baru dinamakan outsourcing.
Kalau outsourcing pd kroni ( tentunya pd harga yg tinggi ) pihak yg berkuasa tentu dpt komisyen atau kickbacks. Kalau bagi kerja pd pegawai kerajaan takkan mereka nak bayar kicjbacks pd menteri pulak.

Zaman Najib ni paling zalim pd Melayu.Dahlah kementerian usahawan dimansuh, jawatan melayu di CIMB semakin pupus, Melayu nak kerja kilang pun susah sebab dah di kebas PATI. Akhirnya kerana kecewa Melayu asyik merepit, mengambil dadah atau mencuri dan terbaru berkawan dng Perkasa untuk jadi samseng kacau urusan pungut sampah dan program ceramah ABU.

After more than 50 years since independence, Malay are like a blindfolded man in a forest and no one in UMNO who are dared to say “No to corruption and No to power abuse”.

Umno cronies have the monopoly on everything on this soil such as Petroleum, rice, water, electricity, cattle, bread, airport, highways, electronic telecommunications, public transportations (taxi, airlines, KTM, cargo, ships, LRT, and monorail), electronic media, newspapers, contracts for school supplies, permits, gambling and religious authorities.

Everyone and each of us work for the entire life just to own a little single storey house (20 years loan) & proton’s car (9 years loan) which the price is equally worth to a new Toyota Camry in Thailand. At the end of the day Malays are forced to thankful to UMNO.

Sejak lebih 54 tahun orang2 Melayu diasuh serta diajar mengikut telunjuk UMNO. UMNO adalah kuasa penjajah alaf baru dan boleh diibaratkan copycat kepada Malayan Union.

Mereka mencuri kerana nak dapatkan duit secara mudah. Malas berusaha.

Kenapa belia Cina dan India tak ada masalah merempit dan menagih dadah?

Penyokong PAS sebenarnya yg.samseng.Tengoklah gelagat mereka semasa penamaan calun di mana saja,suka menunjuk perasaan jalanan dan bersedia bertindak ganas,baring atas jalan pun sanggup.

PERKASA bukan NGO samseng tetapi NGO yg.cuba sedaya upaya untuk mempertahankan 'kekuatan' Melayu, semangat ini langsung tak ada pada PAS kerana takutkan DAP dan PKR.
