You can't really put a good guy down or away. Having just retired on the 24th Feb as the DIM (Deputy Info Minister), Datuk Zainuddin Maidin is back once again, now in his new role as the Media Advisor to the Info Ministry. DAP's Lim Kit Siang calls him the UMNO/BN 'Hatchet Man' and wonders why he is being paid by the taxpayers to do UMNO/BN propaganda work. He is definitely earning his keeps as he is back in the news again. This time according to the Utusan, Zam said that although television programmes were not the main cause of the low turnout of voters during elections, their effect was still significant. He noted that even one vote could determine the victory of a candidate in the elections and the party that would eventually form the government.
Since the newly appointed Media Advisor appeared not to have ideas of attracting voters to come out and vote on election day, he has advised the next best method. He wil urge and advise not only public television stations to co-operate but private television stations as well, NOT to air entertainment programmes that can keep viewers “glued” to their television sets on polling day. What an ingenious idea. Surely ASTRO will be included when he is giving this advice. Why not take things a step further and have all TV stations on that particular day, some says that it will be the 21st of March, showing only coverage of the election and nothing else. Better still have the TV stations urge all eligible voters and even phantoms too, to go out and vote and mark an X for BN only. This will surely result in a massive landslide win for BN and a major portion of the credits will definitely go to this newly appointed Info Ministry Media Advisor. It must also be remembered that it has been speculated that he has been slated to stand in the Merbok Parliamentary seat and if he should win, what better reward could be his then to be finally made the Info Minister, a position in which he can continue to serve the nation with his good work.
