I'm not liking that law.

For when the media gets gagged,we, the hoi polloi get screwed by the powers that be.

Honestly, I am not sure whether to support or not. Why? Because I am yet to know which areas are oppressive yet the media has been screaming they are draconian...

1. The media says that the fines are too high. Why fear the fines if what you report is truth..if you can support it with facts...if you are not "paid" by the "others" to spoil the "others" name in whichever way?

2. The composition of the dreaded committee...The law says it shud be independent of Commercial and govt interests. Why does the media want to handle it themselves yet they have direct interest commercially and otherwise? Further, the committee is made up of interested groups from all sectors, including KNUT. The govt representation is on the minority. How exactly is the govt gagging them? How would the minister gag them if his/her representation is on the minority?

3. Which other sections is the media against? I am also sure the media is an interested party in this and thus I dont expect them to tell us all the truth about what is happening. Is there an independent Wazuan with the facts who can enlighten me on these issues?

4. If in deed there are draconian sections, after how long can the law be amended in parliament? Is it 6 months? Maybe that would be enough time to have seen whether the laws really makes sense to the nation or not.

If I am enlightened on the above, I will be sure who is telling us the truth.

The naughty students in class want the disciplinarian appointed from their senior classmates.

Since most of their gimmicks are directed at their class teachers, they say there'll be no freedom to learn and enjoy class anymore. The primary object of their ridicule will administer discipline thoroughly.

As a compromise, they agree where their senior classmates do a biased job, the aggrieved teachers can appeal to parents, and pay for the parents time while at it.

What's the misunderstanding?

@washeekoo, you are being too cautious. From your points, you support the law. For me, the moment media tried sensationalising the bill calling it draconian, affront to democracy etc, I wore anti-media goggles. I'm still trying to remove them every time they report on this law. And...we have @mukiha's complaint which media council never acted on. I support.
