 Samad Said slams 'cari makan' editors

I'm surprised why experienced pressmen who have won awards here and there can smear Bersih. I know they are from the 'cari makan' group
A.SAMAD SAID
from MalaysiaKini
Preparing to be arrested as the dragnet for Bersih 2.0 supporters widens, national literary laureate A Samad Said urged intellectuals to stop being 'carma' (cari makan) but dare to make a stand against cruelty and injustice.
Speaking at the launch of the latest collections of cartoons by political satirist Zunar at the Chinese Assembly Hall in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday night, Pak Samad said:
"Writers seldom take a stand. Most of them are 'carma' and are always prepared to not take a stand. This has caused all the evil to grow and spread tremendously."
Pak Samad, a former editor of the Berita Harian in the 1960s and 1970s, then directed his criticism against editors of mainstream media which have demonised the July 9 rally called by Bersih 2.0 in favour of free and fair elections.
"For the mainstream media, Bersih is dirty. I'm also surprised, why these experienced pressmen who have won awards here and there, can smear Bersih. I know they are from the 'carma' group.
"Fortunately there is still a small number of writers who dare to take a stand, who know that Bersih is pure," Samad (left) told the 250-strong audience who packed the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall auditorium under the watchful eyes of several plainclothes policemen.
The launch, which had Samad and Lembah Pantai MP cum PKR vice-president Nuruk Izzah Anwar as guests, was held few hours after police detained six Parti Sosialis Malaysia leaders without trial under Emergency Ordinance because of their "involvement with foreign elements. They were also said to have "subversive tendencies".
