PUTRAJAYA: It is possible for anyone from a minority group to be a nation’s leader, even in Malaysia, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi.
Now, remember Zaid Ibrahim remarks over Ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) and the reactions from Umno politicians?

Well well well.. Najib Tun Razak is doing very well following his mentor’s footstep is his latest true ‘Mahathirism’ style. He is going to rob borrow our hard earned money, our pension saving inside Employees Provident Fund in the tune of RM5 billion. Reason? To invest in undervalued companies in the share market (read: to prop up the share market.)
Remember the old man hobby when he was the most powerful man in Malaysia? EPF, Tabung Haji and Petronas were his ‘piggy banks’ - source of unlimited funds to finance his appetite. The old man ’borrowed’ EPF monies to fund Putrajaya, and most mega projects (and cronies, of course.) According to an estimation carried out in 2002, EPF contributors had loaned Federal Government some RM90 billion at low interest rates to finance its mega projects and to bail out crony companies.

I must applaud UMNO Seputeh for showing their sensitive and caring side by making police report against Teresa Kok for insulting egg.
Report lodged against Teresa Kok for insulting egg
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24, 2008) : The Seputeh Umno Youth division lodged a police report today against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, claiming she had insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged.
The division’s deputy head Alawi Dahalin and several other members lodged the report at the Brickfields police station.
Alawi said he had heard Kok complain about the food she was given while detained under the ISA, at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya, shown on the night news on TV on Sept 20, a day after she was released from custody.
He said Kok had said the food she was served was “fit only for dogs”.
“By saying this, she had insulted the police and the poor. Eggs are an important food for low-income earners and the poor. As an elected representative of the people she should not have said that,” he said.
Damn you Teresa Kok, why you go and insult eggs? Humpty Dumpty may go and testify against you in court now! You have incur the wrath of egg lovers!

One of the very few columnists that I like in The Star is Huzir Sulaiman. This guy has good sense of humor and I enjoyed reading his articles in his regular column ‘Wide Angle’. Who is Huzir Sulaiman you ask?
Huzir Sulaiman (born in 1973) is a Malaysian actor, director and writer. One of Malaysia’s leading dramatists, acclaimed for his vibrant, inventive use of language and incisive insight into human behavior in general and the Asian psyche in particular. His plays, often charged with dark humor, political satire, and surrealistic twists, have won numerous awards and international recognition. He currently lives in Singapore.

Now, if you are wondering what happened to his missing article yesterday in his regular Sunday column has got to, well it has been spiked. The article that he wrote was deemed ‘too sensitive’ for the ‘politically correct’ The Star and had to be spiked.

BN is beyond help. Idiots running amok.
Gutsy Sin Chew Daily senior journalist Tan Hoon Cheng makes Internal Security Act (ISA) history for being detained for the shortest period under the infamous detention-without-trial law – less than 20 hours! She was detained at 8.30 pm on Sept 12th and was release at 4.00 pm the next day (19.5 hours). The reason for her arrest?
According to Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar, Tan was detained for her safety as the police believed her life was “under threat”.
Quoting from Malaysiakini:
Speaking from Johor Baru this morning, Syed Hamid justified Tan’s detention under the ISA with a rare reason that it was as part of the government’s preventive measure ‘to ensure her safety’.
The minister claimed police intelligence have indicated that the journalist’s life came under threat after she reported an Umno division leader’s allegedly racist remarks.
“We have no intention of holding a reporter as after all she was just taking notes of the comments made by a certain party that led to a public debate.
“She maybe released as soon as today after police have obtained all information needed,” Syed Hamid was quoted as saying by Star Online.
