SHAH ALAM, 7 Jan (Bernama) -- Media di Indonesia dan Malaysia perlu mempunyai sikap mengawal diri dalam penyiaran atau laporan yang mungkin memburukkan hubungan dua hala, kata Menteri Penerangan Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin.
"Jika ada perkara-perkara negatif atau tidak disenangi pihak Malaysia atau Indonesia, pengamal media haruslah menghormati perasaan ini (sensitiviti)," kata beliau.
Umpamanya, beliau berkata laporan akhbar tempatan memanggil sesuatu tempat yang dikatakan banyak maksiat sebagai "Mini Bandung" memberi gambaran yang tidak baik kepada kota Bandung di Indonesia.
"Sedangkan orang Malaysia pergi ke Bandung untuk membeli-belah kain dan jeans yang boleh dibeli dengan harga yang murah di sana," katanya pada sidang media selepas membentangkan kertas kerja bertajuk "Hubungan antara Malaysia dan Indonesia: Satu Harapan" pada Dialog Malindo 2008 di sini hari ini.
Dialog dwitahunan anjuran Majlis Belia Malaysia (MBM) dan Komite Nasional Pemuda Indonesia (KNPI) yang dihadiri kira-kira 400 peserta, berlangsung selama tiga hari bermula semalam.
Zainuddin juga berkata beliau tidak bersetuju dengan pendapat media Indonesia bahawa media Malaysia juga bebas untuk mengkritik Presiden Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono atau pemimpin Indonesia yang lain.
Katanya ini bukanlah amalan media Malaysia untuk mengkritik atau menyinggung perasaan pemimpin Indonesia.
Zainuddin berkata banyak lagi aspek yang perlu dipelajari tentang satu sama lain antara rakyat kedua-dua negara dan salah satu daripada caranya ialah menerusi program pertukaran wartawan.
Katanya kementeriannya telah mengorak langkah ke arah itu termasuk menerima banyak wartawan Indonesia untuk dilatih dalam aspek kejuruteraan dan kewartawanan di RTM dan menganjurkan lawatan untuk rombongan dari Indonesia dari semasa ke semasa.
Beliau berkata program pertukaran wartawan juga dikendalikan oleh Institut Akhbar Malaysia (IAM).
Sementara itu, Pemangku Duta Besar Indonesia ke Malaysia, Tatang B. Razak berkata lebih banyak forum seperti Dialog Malindo perlu diadakan dari semasa ke semasa bagi merapatkan jurang persepsi antara generasi muda kedua-dua negara.
Katanya kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia beranggapan orang Indonesia hanya buruh binaan dan pembantu rumah sedangkan rakyat Indonesia juga bekerja sebagai ekspatriat di banyak negara termasuk Malaysia.

FORMER ENVOY GETS 30 MONTHS JAIL
By Mohd Nasir Yusoff
JAKARTA, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- The Corruption Court here has sentenced former Indonesian ambassador to Malaysia Hadi A. Wayarabi to 30 months in jail for corruption in the collection of immigration document fees, Antara news agency reported.
Hadi was found guilty of involvement in the collection of illegal fees from Indonesians needing immigration documents at the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur during the 2000-2003 period, causing the country to lose 15 billion rupiah (RM1 = 2,863 rupiah).
Presiding judge Mansyurdin Chaniago said Hadi, along with Suparba W. Amiarsa, former head of the immigration section at the Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, had committed corruption by failing to pass on non-tax state revenue, from the issuance of immigration documents, to the state treasury.
The court also ordered them to pay a fine of 150 million rupiah or spend five more months in jail.
Hadi was also obliged to pay 1.750 billion rupiah or spend two more years in jail if he could not deliver the money within a month after his sentencing.
Suparba, meanwhile, had to pay 15 million rupiah to the state or remain in jail for six more months if he could not pay the amount within one month after his sentencing.
The judge said that Hadi had received 1.8 billion rupiah from the immigration document fees during his ambassadorial posting.
He said the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur only handed RM120 instead of RM140 from the fee for the issuance of every 48-page passport while for a 24-page passport, the embassy only handed RM30 instead of RM65 asked and RM45 instead of RM80 for the family passport.
The total amount of non-tax revenue which was not handed to the government reached RM369,105.
