Zunar: In Very Bad Taste !

Hantu Laut

Some Malaysians can laugh at this unpalatable satire if one wish to call it one but satire it is not. 

It's political muck-racking and libel of the worst kind. False, malicious and done in very bad taste.

Zunar thinks he is smart by changing the names and characters. The whole world knew who he was referring to in his malicious animated cartoon.

I am sure many Malaysians are outraged by this man overzealousness to serve his political masters.

This slam-bang cartoon may have the opposite effect, help Najib gains more sympathy and help him to get into more trouble, if Najib and Rosmah decide to  pursue a legal course.



Obviously, Zunar's head has swelled after his partial victory in court.

He should not put himself in the same mould as Western cartoonists, who are impartial, balanced and professionally driven while he is unprofessional and biased.

His bad satires are only confined to attacking the PM and other government leaders in BN. 

Aren't Pakatan Rakyat running 4 state governments? Are they so perfect that he could not find any fault with them? 

One should ask him why his works is one-sided, attacked only Najib and the BN government and have never attacked Anwar Ibrahim and the opposition? 

Read here what he said about cartoonists in Malaysia, portrayed himself as the hero in Malaysia's cartoon fraternity.

Lat, is a better cartoonist, more humorous in his caricatures and satires compared to his crude and unamused political lampoons. He has not been given due recognition by the cartoonists' world as they have given Lat.


A friend came to visit me sometime last year and gave me a copy of his cartoon book which, not to offend my friend, I kept it for a while.It is now somewhere in the rubbish dump.

I don't find his cartoons funny at all.

Blogger Hassan Sekodeng was today charged in the Session Court for intention to annoy.Charged under Section 233 1 a of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 here.

Bloggers Beware! Anyone annoyed with your writing even in the absent of slander or libel can lodge a complaint and the action-oriented MCMC will deal with the matter expeditiously.

Blimey! Isn't that exactly what satire suppose to do, to ridicule, deride and or express contempt of human folly and vice through use of irony, sarcasm, wit, comic and whatever under your sleeves with intended means of provoking or preventing change.

Has TNB suffered great financial losses due to the satire that Sekodeng wrote more for fun and creativity than with intent of malice.

My uneducated guess is the scroll is only as good as the brain that produce it and one must not forget that even in the land of Academia there are many Yahoos.

As you may know even in the land of the Brobdingnag where giants towered to 72 feet Gulliver survived.

Ignorance kills.
