Getting the message across, no matter what....

A senior Cabinet minister was apparently so upset with Bernama that he threatened to boycott the national news agency. He summoned one of his senior officials to 'pass the message' to Bernama.It was found out later that his bone of contention was that Bernama had interviewed his political rival and wrote quite a 'lengthy' story. The minister may have his reason to be angry with Bernama but this will not stop the news agency from carrying out its responsibility of reporting for the people, about the people as well as by the people.
