Kadir: My personal writing has nothing to do with CEP

PETALING JAYA: Veteran journalist Datuk A. Kadir Jasin says any personal writing on his blog, social media account or columns has nothing to do with his position as the head of media and communication of the Council of Elders (CoE).

“I have never started my post with a reminder. But I now have. The opinion expressed here, in this blog, is entirely mine. It has nothing whatsoever to do with my position (for now) as the head of media & communication of the Council of Elders,” he said on his blog yesterday.

The CoE is now known as the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP).

“As has been for the past 12 years, this blog is mine and the content herein is mine. They do not represent or purport to represent other individuals or organisations.

“I have to make this absolutely clear because of late some journalists and media organisations had either intentionally or out of ignorance linked my opinion here (and also in my Facebook) as representing that of the CoE.

“The CoE has nothing to do with my blog and Facebook, my writing in Sinar Harian and Dewan Masyarakat. So I appeal to journalists and organisations quoting from my blog, Facebook and my columns in Sinar Harian and Dewan Masyarakat not to link it to my fornow position as an apparatus of CoE aka the Council of Eminent Persons,” he said.
