Unrest in Malaysia?

‘Malaysia Unrest’ was the graphics work which accompanied an AP story in an online publication today (above).

What unrest? Where? And why?

According to the story, the unrest was caused by film fans that rioted over a movie delay.

Yup...We ARE talking about the fuss created in the screening delays of Sivaji. But to claim that the rowdy behaviour of the fans had caused unrest do seem a little far-fetched. Don’t you agree?

Anyways, the report started by stating:

“Ethnic Indian fans wrecked cinemas in several Malaysian cities after a nationwide premiere of a long-awaited Tamil film was delayed or canceled due to technical glitches, news reports and a theater employee said Saturday.”

Hardly a situation that has caused widespread unrest in the whole country!

And the website with such an alarmist attitude is wcbstv.com – which is part of CBS Television Stations, one of the largest network-owned station groups in the US.
