Well I seem to have chosen to join Nuffnang at a time when things are really busy so I haven’t had time to post as often. There are a lot of things to be done!

The clown we have for an Information Minister strikes again:
“I hope local journalists will not dance to the tune of their foreign counterparts.
“There are local journalists who think too highly of the foreign media, and to me, this demonstrates an inferiority complex,” he said when launching the Malaysia Creative competition organised by Bernama here.

Yesterday’s Star, “A dye that can kill you“:
Food operators are still using a cancer-causing dye in the preparation of belacan (shrimp paste) and several popular Chinese buns and kuih, according to the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP).
