Malaysiakini compares the key news and views in major newspapers. What is today's agenda for the English, Bahasa, Chinese and Tamil papers?

Front Page

English Newspapers

The New Straits Times frontpaged the recent meeting between AG Abdul Gani Patail and IGP Musa Hassan which aimed to resolve problems in the investigation and prosecution of cases.

The Star reported that the cartel controlling beef imports into Malaysia will be broken.

Malay Newspapers

Berita Harian reported that the Royal Malaysian Police do not have enough investigators.

Utusan Malaysia featured IGP Musa Hassan's statement that it is the public's lack of cooperation which has hampered police investigations.

Tamil newspapers

Malaysian Nanban led with a claim by PKR supreme council member S Manikavasagam that he was offered money by certain political leaders to drop his crusade to find out the truth in the mysterious death of drama actress K Sujatha.

The daily also quoted sources that Sujatha was admitted in the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang with injuries in her body. She is believed to have committed suicide by consuming paraquat.

Makkal Osai , who has been regularly publishing articles in their front page on the circumstances surrounding the death of Sujatha, continued in the same vein, this time highlighting a police report lodged by Manikavasagam asking for an investigation to be done on the doctor who treated Sujatha before she died.

Tamil Nesan had neither of these stories but it led with a RM10 million defamation suit filed by Sentul police chief ACP K Kumaran Manikavasagam and Makkal Osai over alleged 'defamatory' remarks made against him pertaining to Sujatha's death.

Both Malaysia Nanban and Makkal Osai mentioned the defamation suit in their front page.

Editorials

The New Straits Times suggested that further actions need to be undertaken by the government to ensure national unity in terms of race and religion.

Berita Harian opined that the police must ensure that cases are thoroughly prepared before presenting them to court.

Utusan Malaysia urged the government to closely review the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) before it is implemented to ensure its success.

Malaysia Nanban urged all Indian businessmen and traders to use Tamil in their signboards and banners
