Compared to other countries, the debate is insipid, but by Malaysian standards it is lively enough.

How is this not biased? There is no concrete evidence to prove this.

Because of this reputation, it is considered to be Malaysia's premier English language paper.

What reputation? The author of this article has not clearly stated the development and reinforcement of this argument.

[edit] Plagarism row

I'm suprised nothing is mentioned abou the recent plagarism scandal regarding NST editor Brendan Pereira copying certain passages from one of Mitch Albom's Detroit Free Press articles. Here's a few sources on the topic:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NstLogo2005.gif

Image:NstLogo2005.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
