A IVA TTER OF i, . fERPRETAT10N

-:Men a new worker shows enthusiasm he wi II be told: "Donlt get carried away". After you've been around long enough, does a reasonabl y competent job, but never exceeds the call of duty, that is accepted as a mark of seniority.

If the rookie shows initiative, beware; his immediate superior is liable to interpret that as insubordination. When "Singapura Dilanggar Todak ", the boy who suggested using batong pisong instead of men to stop the flying fishes was never heard of again.­Now If the idea had been the Laksamana's, he would have beenheord allover the land •

I,·

If your boss is not in his office, he is busy attending a meeting although golf has also become acceptable nowdays but if you are absent you had better be armed with an M!C.

If you put a suggestion/complaint in the suggestion/complaint box suggesting a little colour in the drab office, it will be kiv away until the cows corne home. A year later, the same suggestion made by an outside consu Itont Ion loan I at gredt expense enables your company tostate in i tsAnnual Report: "0ur office decor was commissioned to Smith & Jones Wall-Colour House of New York and is comparable to the best in the

. world ".

When the boss cuts across red tope, that's efficiency; but if you fail to submit your transport claims within a specified time you can kiss your taxi fares goodbye.

When the l,:,;,~s rn r,' 5 nlstakcS nE: is distr'Jcreo by more pr~ssjng mutters; when you make mistakes you are robabl y distracted by his charming secretory and you know that is going to land you at the labour exchange. His was a "genu ine mistake"; yours, sheer carelessness.

Whe 1 y"" join your boss for tea at the canteen, you are telling tales; when your boss joins his boss at a restaurant in town, they are having a working lunch.

Whelil,your boss goes abroad he is on a study tour; when you go abroad you are on a package tour.

When your boss loses his temper, if' is done in self-righteous indignation; when you lose yours, you'll find yourself at the labour exchange for the second time. If the boss likes to tell dirty jokes, he is "of the people", a sport; you, you're "that sort II ,

If your boss stands up to his boss, he is firm; you, you're stubborn and uncooperative. When he is slow he is giving the matter careful study, when you're slow, no suitable euphemism has been inverHed •

FROM A REPORTd: I'~) A GOVERNMENT WITNESS

'When covering court assignments, it i~ always interesting to sit down ot the reporters' corner r.Jnd wr.Jtch p,"=oplr; in the witness stand. Their movements, ge5ture~ and mumblings '.Jrr:: all sometimes good story material. But it becames very uninteresting and even fri ghteni ng when one is transftlred from the reporters cosy corner to the witness stand ~

I had this rare albeit heart throbbing experience last month when I was summoned by His Majesty's Government to be a prosecutIon witness in a civil case involvIng the General Secretary of the Malaysian Technical ServicesUl'lion and the Tribunal.

It all arose because of a story which I wrote wherein the ~ecretary criticised the award of the Public Service Tribunal for Technical Assistants. Under the Tribunal's act it is on offence to publicly criticise any awards.

On the day of the case, I promptly arrived at the court precisely at nine o.m. but had to wait three agonising hours before the mata-lTlC'lta called loudly •••••• So jak Hussei nnnnnnnnn • I meek Iy entered the court room, wa Iked up to the witness stand and took the oath.

Then come the question and answer part -- the part every court reporter would eargelyawait, but this time I wished there was no such part.

I did not know how long I was in the box, butalll know is I felt terribly relieved when '~he ci fence low/e: ...ala; i have no questions fer the witness, My Lord ll II •

All this apart, I must soy that it was a real good experience to switch position from a reporter to a witness. It did drive into me how it is like to be a witness. The next time I cover court I wi H surely not laugh at a witr;ess if he scratches his nose or head before answering a question --- the scratching does help cut down the nervousness.

"I will also appreciate when a witness complaints that there is no proper place for him or her to wait while being called to testify. Imagine hanging around outside the court room with no ~\roper place to sit down. I will also sympathise with a witness when he says that his bladder is bursting just because he cannot find a toilet around and cannot afford to go round looking for one lesl he may be charged for contempt of court for not appearing in time to testify ~ --- Sajad

laltu peda tarlkh penubu,han ajensi berito yang pertama di dunlo kewartawana'n ~

Allnll barite yang pertbrro dlt\Jbuhkan ialch syorlkat ajensi berlta IlHAVAS II dl nlgerl Perancls dala,m tahun 1835.

Disamping itu terdapot iu'ga bebfrape buah akhbar di Amerika Syarikatkhasnya di New York yang telah,bergebung dele!T\ tahun 1845 dengan tujuen utama menggembelingken tenage wadawon mc~ing-ma~ing bagi memudahken tugas . membuat Iiputan peperangan yang berloku pado waktu itu ontara Amerika Syatikot , dengan Mexico. '

Perkongsian antara syarikat okhbar do lam tahun itu telah merintis j~lan ke erah penubuhan~jensi berita, dan sindikit Berita di Amerika .

Pertumbuhan ekonomi dan kemajuan industri serta pergolakan palitik di dunia barat yang begitu pesat telah juga mendorong beberapa bU<;:Jh negara maju di Baret menubuhkan ajensi ,berita masing-masing. ..

Tujuan utama penubuhan'ajensi berita itu blah bagl memperkukuhkan kedudukan ekonomi dan palitik hegara itu selain dari mendapatkan maklumat mengenai perdangangan dan perniagaon di negara-negar-a yang berkenaan disamping memperluaskan IIkomunikasi" di antara satu soma lain.

Sekarang terdapat limabllah badan yang benar-benar bertaraf antara­ f.

bangsa dan berpengaruh serta lime monopo Iikan" dunia kewartewanan.

Ajensi-ajensi berite itu ialah Associated Press of Americ:a (AP) dit~buhkan delam tahun 1848 yang pada aw<;i1nya dikenali sebagai Harbour News Association, Agence France Presse (Afl» yang ditubuhkan oleh Charles Havas (1835 hingga 1939), tetapi dalam tahun 19,40 pihak pemerintah Perancis telah membeli syarikat berite itu dan menukarkan nOri'\Clnya kepada AFP dalam tahun 1944 hinggaleh sekarang.

Reuter peda mulanya d'itubunkan di Perancis dalam tahun 1850 dan syarikcit berita Hu telah berpindah ke Londondalam tahun 1851 hingg,t:l hari ini.

United Press International (UPI) pula merupokan gabungon antara Scripps United Press Association (1907)dan Heart's International News Service (1909) di Amerika. UPI P'lJk:s menjalankan perkhidmatan ajensi beritanya dalam tahun 1-958.

Sebuahlagi ajensi berita :yang berteraf antarabangsa doh berpengaruh tetapi di� bawah kelolaan keraia6~ ialah TASS ydng nama penuhnyt:! Telegra-f~nie Agentsvo�

- 5 ­

SO,vetskovo Soiuza, ditubuhkan dalam tahun 1918 di Soviet Union. TASS lebih merupakon aiensi berita milik keraiaan Russia.

Selain dod itu usaha telahpun diio1ankan oleh pihak yang tertentu di negara­negcirO membangun bagi menubuhkan sebuah ajensl berita negara-negoro ketigq yang dikenall ramai sebagoi IPS (Inter Press Service) berpusat di Rome..:

Menjelang awol tahun lima puluhcin' tahap kewartaw~nan ajensi berita telah maningkat berikutan dengan penubuhan ajensi berita di negara-negara yang sedang membangun seperti di Cuba, MESIR, Indonesia, Iraq, Morocco, IndiCl Tanzania, Yugoslavia, Ghana dan lain-lain negora.' '

Menurut lapuran UNESCO, sekarang terdapat 52 buah negara di benua Asia" Afrika dan Latin Amerika yang telah menubuhkan alensi berita masing-mosin~,

Di rantau Asean hanya empat buah negara yang mempunyai ajensi berita ialtu Indonesia (Antora), Malaysia (Bernama), Fil ipina (P NA) dan Thailand (TNA). Singapura belum lagi menubuhkan ajerisi beriJan>·o.

BERNA~ ditubuhkan pada 20 Mei 196$ sebagai sp.buahperbadanan awam di bawah Akta Pertubuhan Berita Nasional Malaysia 1967. Penubuhannya kemudian·, disahkon oleh Kabinet dan Parlimen.

Satu Mesyuarat telahpun diadakan di Manila dalam bulan Julai tahun lalu bagi merangkakan scij'u bentuk kcrjasama antara ajens!-aiensi berita nasional nagara anggota Asean. Setakat ini Bernama telch menjal in hubungan dengan beberapa Agensi Berlta antarabangsa te,r:mosuk Pertubuhan Agensi Berita Asia (OANA), Agens; Berita Timur Tengah (MENA), ~gensi Islam Antarabangsa (II NA), Press TlVst of Indio (PTI), Tanjug(Yugoslavia), ,'Agerpres (Romanla) don AFP. -- Jamal Ali
