Majlis tersebut dianjurkan oleh Malaysian Social Media Chambers (MSMC). Hasil semakan di laman MSMC, anda akan jumpa ini:
Macam kenal je? Itu Ibdillah Ishak kan? Exco/Pengerusi Biro Media Sosial Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO? Tak sangka ya dia adalah Timbalan Presiden penganjur Majlis tersebut?
Pelik juga, kerana takkan dia sebagai Timbalan Presiden tidak tahu langsung bahawa Malaysiakini akan menerima anugerah? Serta jika dia adalah seorang yang bertanggungjawab, mana penjelasannya kepada para bloggers yang menghentam Zahid? MANA? MANA?
Saya yakin bahawa pihak MSMC sangat mengenali/kenal rapat dengan bos Malaysiakini tersebut. dan tak mustahil juga bahawa IBDIL JUGA TERLIBAT. Ataupun ini hanyalah untuk mencetuskan persepsi bahawa Zahid Hamidi diperangkap? Namun begitu, saya yakin kedua-duanya terlibat sebanarnya. Kerana kedua-duanya berada di majlis tersebut.

Sambung baca Be fair to Zahid! dibawah:
" More pro-BN social media players are sharpening their knives on Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi for 'being chummy' with Malaysiakini, the anti-government news portal he once lambasted as 'racist and full of lies'.
Had our fellow bloggers here, here and here(there are more) done a bit of fact findings, they wouldn't have threw punches at the minister who was made a 'victim of circumstances' by some irresolute people.
I don't blame my fellow bloggers for expressing their disgust at the event, and the frustration that the minister they have been supporting is now a 'cakap tak serupa bikin'. I respect their opinion but I hope they dig more into the deep to unveil the actual story.
The award-winning presentation organised by Malaysian Social Media Chambers on Feb 26 was a pit by the Mkini and the opposition, so well-organised that it blinded the invites to the Home Minister, Ministry of Communications and Multimedia and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
I made two postings about the event, The handshake that draws criticism and Falling into Malaysiakini's trap a few days ago to help clear the air and give some insights to BN and Umno social media players about the whole affair. Some read it, some didn't.
Zahid, I believe was caught off guard. He attended the function not as a Home Minister but a member of the National Media Consultative Council set up between Ministry of Information, Communications and Culture (under Rais Yatim) and Home Ministry (under Hishammuddin Tun Hussein).
He also attended it for Ahmad Shabery Cheek who was away, in Spain. Furthermore, one of the award winners was Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) which comes under the Home Ministry's purview. And that explains!
Being a strong supporter of social media, he attended the event to browse with key social media without knowing (or being informed in advance) that Mkini was high on the award-recipient list. Had he got the info much earlier, he wouldn't be there!
But he is a true professional. Since the Information DG and reps from the MCMC were also there, he obliged to the request to give away the prizes. Although shocked to find out Mkini was among the big winners', he did not want to dissapoint anybody.
He is the minister for all, not only for pro-BN supporters. Yes, he did utter 'truce' with Steven Gan but that was only to answer the Mkini's boss artfully hint towards him. Zahid's stand on Mkini stays, that the news portal is still not in his good book.
Another camouflaging factor that cheated the authorities was the Chambers key persons - president Shahul Hameed Shaik Dawood and (to my surprise) Abdilillah Ishak, Pemuda Umno's Exco for Media - who is no match to PKR's Rafizi Ramli!
Abdilillah has been high on pro-Umno and pro-BN bloggers' 'wanted list' for his low mileage on social media. He once snubbed at bloggers, accusing them of not contributing to Umno and BN when he himself seldom writes on his own blogs.
The Malaysian Social Media Chambers too will come up with a press statement (hopefully today) to explain the 'brouhaha' pertaining to the event, which includes questions as to why key bloggers were not informed about it, the motive of the event, its affiliations, etc.
I feel sorry for Ahmad Shabery, DG Hj Ibrahim and MCMC for 'busting' them a few days ago over the blunders that took place at the event. However, Shabery's ministry and the MCMC - being the ones with solid supervision on social media - have to be more careful as to avoid unnecessary and uneasy repercussions.
However, matters need to be explained. Not easy to clear the air but we need to make our friends understand the whole story from A to Z. Zahid is not to be blamed - for attending and neither for giving away the prizes to Mkini.
I believe some people at the Malaysian Social Media Chambers are good friends of Mkini bosses and may have a bad agenda to make BN looks like a fool!
Zahid is still firm with his standpoint about Mkini and other pro-opposition news portals and social media. No discount about it! "
