The Star is only half credible.

You would expect our nation's top selling English newspaper to be credible but recently, their report all but confirmed their lack of impartiality.

A Malaysian honours graduate from Melbourne University by the name of  Khairulddin Mohammad Yahya made news in Australia and Malaysia for his unruly behaviour onboard a flight to the Victorian capital.
While The Age, a respectable newspaper reported as it was, our very own The Star saw it fit to report only the half truth.

If one was to read The Star only, he would think this gentleman didn't behave too badly but in reality, what this engineer did in his state of stupor; was not only shameful but also put his fellow passengers in great and unnecessary distress.

Inebriated, he kept on leaving his economy seat to be with his mom in the business class. His choice of words were colourful too,  ''motherf*****'' and to ''f*** all of you''. So uncontrollable was he, that he had to be restrained with handcuff and his ankles tied with tape. This terrorist-like behaviour was very unbecoming of an engineering graduate from one of the top universities in Australia.

Funnily, The Star chose to overlook these important details and even blacked out the part about his state of drunkenness.

Well, it has always been like this. It's not the first time.
