The House was heated up again two days ago when Parliamentary Opposition Leader YB Lim Kit Siang moved a ten-ringgit-cut motion against Information Minister, Datuk Zainuddin Maidin, who is best known as Zam.

According to Kir Siang, Zainuddin Maidin as a former top journalist should have blazed the path and expanded space for greater media freedom. Instead he has done the reverse.

He said that it is Zam as Information Minister who presented the public face of the Barisan Nasional government of such media control.

“In fact, he is the Barisan Nasional ideologue for media control and censorship.”

Kit Siang also mentioned that Zam is the “Predator of the Press” as the government’s chief hatchet man to suppress press freedom in the country, instead of being awarded Tokoh Kewartawanan last year.

Kit Siang’s motion drawn huge reaction from BN backbenchers and Zam who was also present during the motion also responded mischievously against Kit Siang.

Among other things that Kit Siang has brought up is Zam’s power abuse by misusing state machinery to demonize him in RTM website.

These are a series of seven video clips which should be view in sequence for you to watch the whole 65-minute debate exchange between Kit Siang, BN Backbenchers and Zam over the motion.
