I have to agree with brother Rocky, read
this.
I
was told that Fox Media which has collected millions from Sime Darby
Berhad by just managing the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER)
launching ceremonies and doing nothing else is being paid a retainer of
RM250,000 a month. As far as I know, no company in Malaysia has paid or
is paying that much of money to any PR company.
Brenden Pereira
whom we know built a career in journalism by plagiarising articles of
famous writers, is laughing all the way to the bank. If you don't know
what I am talking about, read
this and
this.
Anyway, he and his good friend Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan are also
responsible for the dwindling circulation of the New Straits Times. I
was told that the NST's circulation is now 90,000. When Kalimullah took
over in 2004, NST was selling 140,000 copies.
Sime Darby is
paying Fox Media RM0.25 million a month, but it is certainly doing a
lousy job in undoing the damage done to Sime Darby's reputation after
the IJN and KLIA@EAST issues.
To me, Sime Darby has been reduced to a pariah corporation.
