Ambiga Sreenevasan is Malaysiakini's Newsmaker of the Year

Every year, for over a decade, Malaysiakini has named a top newsmaker as we bring the curtain down on the year.

AmbigaA newsmaker is defined as 'someone whose actions make news headlines, who effects the course of public discourse and creates an impact in Malaysian politics, for better or worse'. For 2012, Malaysiakini has nominated 10 individuals for readers to vote on. A total of 697 participated in the five-day survey, opened only to paying subscribers of the news portal.

They voted by indicating their preference for each of the nominees – one vote being the lowest and 10 the highest. Interestingly this time around, Malaysiakini readers paid tribute to the individual who missed out on the newsmaker of the year award last year.

The award goes to…

And the newsmaker of 2011 is former Bar Council chairperson and BERSIH co-coordinator Ambiga Sreenevasan – the woman who launched the mother of all protests.

Perhaps this did not come as a surprise as yesterday, Malaysiakini readers picked the Bersih 3.0 rally as the top news of 2012. PKR Director of Strategy Rafizi Ramli aka 'cow slayer' came in second, followed closely by Himpunan Hijau leader Wong Tack.

So, if you wanna keep a copy for legitimate purpose such as stemcell research, religious obligation or perhaps other bona fide investigation, please get a plugin or software to download them before we archive them for good.

BAB 1, SIRI IV : SEKRITARI (SAMBUNGAN) DALAM siri ketiga, Sabahkini.net terus dihujani dengan pelbagai pertanyaan terutama benarkah Skandal Tersebut melibatkan YB yang bernama Rahim sedangkan sudah dinyatakan bahawa jika ada persamaan nama atau tempat hanya secara kebetulan sahaja; tetapi mereka terus mendesak untuk mengetahui sama ada tokoh berkenaan YB mereka. YB Rahim adalah lambang manusia biasa yang menggunakan kedudukan politik, jawatan dan pengaruh untuk melakukan apa sahaja perlakuan yang mungkin menyebabkan para pengundi kesal dengan tindakannya, namun enggan menegur kegiatan jalangnya. Terdapat puluhan malah ratus YB Rahim di Malaysia yang berwajah seperti nabi tetapi bernafsu seperti babi dan kisah ini adalah kisah benar yang dirakamkan daripada mangsa yang tewas atau ditewaskan oleh kegiatan persundalan VVIP yang menjadikan wanita sebagai Mesin Seks namun enggan bertanggung jawab; termasuk yang menyimpan benih di dalam rahim wanita tetapi mencari Pak Sanggup untuk menutupi...

BAB 1, SIRI III : SEKRITARI (SAMBUNGAN) DALAM siri kedua, Sabahkini.net menerima pelbagai kutukan daripada pembaca kerana tidak mendedahkan lokasi sebenar, nama tokoh sebenar, YB dari parti mana; namun sebenarnya semua sudah dinyatakan dalam Siri I dan Siri II. Mungkin ramai membaca dengan mata terbeliak kerana mereka harus membaca dengan mata hati dan mata minda untuk menjadikan kes ini sebagai iktibar. YB juga manusia, yang bukan sahaja mempunyai hati dan perasaan, malah bernafsu besar sekalipun tenaga kurang! Ikuti Siri III untuk Bab 1: Sekritari yang menjadi igauan negeri ramai YB kerana mereka juga tidak sunyi daripada melakukan kesilapan disebabkan menyimpan gundik, melakukan jenayah seksual seperti mencabul kehormatan, merogol dan meliwat; malah mengamalkan Rasuah Seks yang sukar dibuktikan oleh SPRM.
