The awaiting good news is on the way. Starting from end of this month, all the people can evaluate their elected representatives objectively through Dewan Rakyat. This claims to be the government’s openness with regard to the media.
Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek announced that the Cabinet had permitted Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) to telecast live over the RTM1 channel the Dewan Rakyat question-and-answer session from 10am to 10.30am beginning April 30.He said the telecast would be initially confined to the question-and-answer session but he did not rule out the possibility of the live coverage being extended to include the debates if there was positive response from viewers.
He said it reflects the openness of the government and is not for political gain. The move should be seen as a step forward in the democratic process and the government’s openness with regard to the media.

telecast live over the RTM1 channel the Dewan Rakyat question-and-answer session seems given advantages to opposition as the main media always bias and have a government slant and spinning the issues.
