Eksklusif : Impak Media Baru Mula Disedari Kerajaan

Media Baru mempunyai peranan yang penting dewasa ini dalam menyalurkan maklumat tidak kiralah sama ada maklumat tersebut tepat dan benar atau maklumat tersebut hanyalah persepsi, spekulasi dan provokasi tanpa bukti yang sahih. Media Baru ini terlalu luas ruang lingkupnya dan antara yang tersohor seperti blog, facebook dan twitter. Dunia baru ini telah mula dihidu terlebih dahulu oleh pembangkang dan mereka memanipulasi dengan semaksimum mungkin bagi menyalur maklumat yang tidak benar berkenaan dengan kerajaan.
Terbaru adalah isu perhimpunan Bersih 9 Julai lalu di mana Media Baru digunakan dengan seoptimum mungkin oleh pembangkang dalam menyebarkan dakyah dan informasi yang kurang tepat malahan ada yang tidak benar berkenaan keputusan kerajaan lebih-lebih lagi tindakan yang diambil oleh pihak berkuasa terutama pihak polis. Ini diakui sendiri oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Hishammudin bahawa Media Baru telah dimanupulasi dengan tersusun oleh pembangkang dalam memberi persepsi negatif terhadap tindakan pihak polis sekalipun pihak polis telah bertindak mengikut prosedur antarabangsa.
New media used to spread lies! - Hishammuddin
PUTRAJAYA: The opposition's use of new media has enabled them to instigate sections of society to participate even in unlawful activities that give them political mileage.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said this was particularly damaging as many of the issues propagated through this media channel were untrue.
Citing the illegal July 9 Bersih rally as a case in point, he said this happened despite it being clear from the start that the rally was not about pushing for free and fair elections but for the interests of parties riding on Bersih's name.

He said while the government had exhausted all its avenues to reach and explain to the people about the demonstration, it was not easy as the power hungry were willing to go the distance in pushing to attain power without going to elections.

Conceding that handling the run-up to the July 9 demonstration was difficult as the opposition had triumphed over the use of the new media, Hishammuddin said the ruling government must catch up on their use of the medium.

"I must admit that they are better than us and we need to get our act together in using the new media."

"It couldn't be clearer that there are quarters who would not hesitate to seize any opportunity and compromise everything for their narrow political ambitions.

"We knew that there may have been other groups that might have used Bersih as a platform to cause even more upheavals," he said.

Touching on police action on the day the streets of Kuala Lumpur came to a stand-still, he said the police were very restrained on July 9, despite their standard operating procedure, which allowed them to take sterner action.
On the repercussions and lessons to be learned by those arrested and released by the police every time street demonstrations are held, he said those taken in by the police would have their particulars recorded in the police system.

He said while focus was given to those behind such events, the police were not going to pick and choose demonstrators in the middle of chaos.

"What we have in Malaysia, most people outside would look at it as something that we should cherish ... Unfortunately, there are people in Malaysia, who do not appreciate what we have.

"They go the extra mile to get attention, but sometimes, when they do so, there may be a cost to it as seen in many cases. A democracy with a single racial composition will not have this problem, but in a multiracial country like ours, our leaders must be very careful.

Hishammuddin said the police were also looking at best practices in the new social landscape.

This, he said included the amendments to the country's preventive laws, the Police Acts, particularly on peaceful assemblies, as well as the use of biometrics in addressing the issues raised by the opposition on phantom voters.
Berdasarkan pengalaman perhimpunan Bersih 2007, pihak berkuasa terutama pihak polis telah bersiap sedia dalam menangkis tohmahan dan propaganda yang dibuat oleh pembangkang. Antara persiapan awal yang dibuat adalah dengan menubuhkan pasukan media polis sendiri di mana pasukan ini akan mengambil gambar dan video ketika berlangsungnya perhimpunan tersebut sebagai bahan bukti. Hasilnya apabila pembangkang memainkan isu tindakan kekasaran terhadap peserta perhimpunan, isu kematian Baharuddin dengan lakonan kematian oleh Shuhardi Mat Isa, kes pelanggaran kereta polis ke atas Mat Sabu, video provokasi Tian Chua dan beberapa isu lagi yang dimainkan oleh pembangkang di alam siber dapat ditangkis dan diberi penjelasan yang tepat oleh pihak polis berdasarkan rakaman video dan gambar-gambar yang diambil.



Walaupun Datuk Seri Hishammuddin merasakan bahawa kerajaan agak ketinggalan dalam permainan Media Baru ini, beberapa langkah awal telah diambil oleh individu-individu yang menyokong kerajaan dengan wujudnya blog-blog pro kerajaan, facebooker-facebooker dan twitterian-twitterian yang menangkis tohmahan pembangkang. Pemuda Umno Malaysia juga dibawah ketuanya Khairy Jamaluddin telah menubuhkan satu unit khas berkaitan alam siber ini iaitu Unit Media Baru yang dipengerusikan oleh Exco Pemuda, Tun Faisal Ismail Aziz juga berperanan memberi bimbingan dan tunjuk ajar kepada generasi Y yang berminat dalam menguruskan perkara ini.
Masih belum terlambat buat kerajaan dalam mengejar permainan alam siber ini jika pemimpin sekarang yang ada melihat ini sebagai sesuatu yang penting dalam menentukan hala tuju kerajaan terutama ketika PRU13 semakin hampir. Walaupun tidaklah sebesar mana kesannya dirasai oleh pemimpin negara tetapi ibarat nyamuk aedes yang kecil jika menggigit boleh mengakibatkan kematian.
