From Lim Kit Siang’s blog:
Sucks that our hard-earned tax money goes to helping this smug bastard pretend it’s his to dole out as he pleases.
I’m proud of all Sibu-ans for giving this idiot the middle finger. It’s your fucking job to fix floods, not use it as a bribe.

The problem isn’t with 1Malaysia. We can all get behind the concept of unity, in fact what’s worrying is why it should be anything new.
But the real problem is that most of us suspect BN of just superficially pandering to the non-Malays. There is, after all, no good reason for any non-Malay to vote for [...]
Al-Jazeera interviewed PERKASA head Ibrahim Ali today for its piece on the sidelining of non-Malays in Malaysia.

TM still has not fixed its glitch on the main site that renders it unusable by all browsers [...]
Browsing through some issues of National Geographic recently, I came across a feature on tribespeople in Africa.
I was horrified to see that these tribespeople were inconsiderate enough to actually walk around mostly naked! How could they do this to us? Sure it might be the norm in their culture, but relativity is from the [...]

The Old Frees’ Association for Penang Free School alumni has a long history dating back to 1923. Most old boys will know it, especially those in Penang. It has its own association building with recreation halls and a fairly good public cafeteria which I used to visit regularly, and holds annual games with the students.

Read this recently in The Star and I was flabbergasted.
The biggest gainers will be new inspectors who will get a starting salary of RM2,060 compared to RM1,492 previously. Diploma and STPM holders will also be allowed to join the force directly as sergeants and they will start with a basic salary of [...]

Well the tweet deluge on Information and Communications Minister Rais Yatim’s “twitter is against our culture” comment has dropped off twitter’s trending topics since everyone’s going to sleep.
