Media mega-draws reek of envelope journalism

COMMENT The way expensive gifts were thrown at journalists at the Premier Media Night on Thursday borders on 'envelope' journalism, yet Prime Minister Najib Razak who was in attendance has the gall to tell  journalists how to do their job while the expensive gifts were dished out.

The golden cow consists of lucky draws for a brand new Peugeot 408 costing over RM100, 000 on-the-road. Other freebies include bicycles and motorcycles, plus electronics such as two iPhone 6 (64 gigabyte) smartphones, Samsung Tab 4 tablets, and Samsung LED televisions of various sizes up to 75 inches, as well as a goodie bag for each guest consisting of an umbrella, crackers, a mug, a notepad, a flashlight, and a book on Islamic inheritance.
