Agendadaily has its own agenda

On the Agendadaily website today, there was an elaborate report on ex-Keadilan leader Lokman’s claim that his former colleague at Keadilan, Azmin, met the international financier George Soros.

While the veracity of this claim is yet to be established, the association with Soros in this report may be sufficient to trigger anxiety and suspicion in the minds of Malaysians, particularly the Malays. Given the Mahathir administration’s lambasting of Jews, this report may also raise eyebrows by linking Azmin with Soros, who is a Jew and supposedly a ‘rogue’ at that.


In another report, “Lawatan rasmi Pak Lah ke Kalantan: Ada pihak cuba buat kacau?”, the Agendadaily reporter apparently tried to investigate a rumour that Pas had put flags on an UMNO building at a time when the Prime Minister was visiting the Pas-ruled state. The story was written in a way as if to suggest that there was an attempt to sabotage Abdullah Badawi’s visit by this act.
