I refer to the Malaysiakini report Anwar was my idol, says Saiful .

I know that there are attempts to shame and drag Anwar Ibrahim through the mud and sludge.

However for the sake of our children, may I ask the media, especially the printed newspapers, to be sensitive of their readers knowing that among them are children and minors?

It is most irresponsible of the media to sensationalise the ‘Sodomy II’ trial with the headlines on the front pages of our newspapers being of a suggestive and sexual nature.

Do you not care that among the readers are minors and young children? Have you no sense of common decency?

What surprises me is the deafening silence of the information ministry which quietly approves of such nonsense.

Instead of harping on Tweeters and blogs and accusing them of being Western, do look at our very own supposedly conservative Asian newspapers. The headlines this week alone are disgusting.

Please don’t for the sake of politics expose our children to such indecency.

It is disgusting and if the newspapers continue to do this, I will launch a nationwide boycott of the media in the name of family values.
