Local Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian published a caricature in their editor’s column today that depicts the popular Japanese cartoon character Ultraman as trying to outrun an incoming tsunami.
The publication has received tremendous criticisms by readers, who accuse the editors as being “inconsiderate and distasteful”. Several political leaders have even stepped out and demand a public apology, to which the editors promptly made on their publication’s Facebook fan page.
So Berita Harian is in the limelight again. For the wrong reasons AGAIN. As a Malaysian, I’m disgusted at BH for what they have done. The people who drew this caricature and those who approve it – I bet they are one of the many who call for the blood of the cartoonist who drew the Prophet Muhammad.
My sincerest condolences to the Japanese and all those who were affected. Just because this retard excuse for a newspaper did something like this, it doesn’t represent how we Malaysians truly felt.
Stay strong Japan!
