5th asia media summit

we were honoured to be given the chance to attend this 2 days global event of media convergence from 60 countries . Through the pre summit workshops held on 25-26 may and the summit proper on 27-28 may 2008 much knowledge and information have been gathered especially in the line of broadcast journalism and the latest technological broadcasting methods of news dessimination, online journalism and the new media - of which we should not take as a challenge but to participate along.Undeniably, meeting new colleagues from all across the globe, including the speakers ( all distinguished icons of the media from various countries, the delegates and fellow colleagues from malaysia, singapore, brunei and indonesia, to mention a few) was a very wonderful and exciting experience....Dr Nawiyah, IPTAR Director, thank you once again including this prestigious summit as one of the modules/schedules of the Broadcast Journalism course.

Police surveillance at Midvalley`megamall?

Referring to a recent case of purse snatching at Jusco Midvalley...can't the plainclothes cops do something like demanding the mall's management to view the CCTV..even after they were led to the actual scene where the snatching took place- ladies department.?... at least the culprits could still be traced from the CCTV and a search for them be done, despite the massive size and the 3 courts of the megamall....and to worsen the whole traumatic experience, the security guards of Jusco were not emphatic enough to even bring us to see the management. They simply unshouldered the responsibility of curbing the situatiuon and brought us to the police kiosk at the basement...more to add to the misery......After the routine report was typed and printed...we were asked to 'jumpa pegawai penyiasat' ( see a private investigator) at Brickfields police station....there...the worse was yet to happen....on reaching there, we were greeted rudely... and we had to walk up the 3 floors of unlighted staircase ( time then was 8.15 pm ) to see the 'pegawai penyiasat' .... here comes the 'grand finale'....the private investigator told us to bring the written report to the 'balai' downstairs, pay rm2, then photo copies with endossed 'ceritified copies' on the report would be produced - for application of a new smartcard and replacements for new atm and credit cards, among the things listed in the stolen purse, besides cash of RM1036.60 cts.. There was no concrete answer to the question of cctv at jusco...'"nothing we can do -Midvalley ni memang panas sikit la...kes ragut2 ni memang biasa"....oh, a little bit more about the rude greeting we had earlier ....my friend took note of the 'sentry's' name and number and he uttered cynical remarks when my friend told him of her profession as a reporter.
so folks out there, besides being careful while shopping at midvalley or any other malls....if this unfortunate thing may happen to u...can i say...demand for just a little more from the police surveillance....just a .little more than them just walking up and down and witnessing the victims cry?
