It was a normal routine, me poking fun at political dinosaurs, weird-stupid-ridiculous statements and news happening in Malaysia…
Just like the other day, I was tweeting away on #themissingrmafengine, #bendera, #hamsoR, #BImoviesinBM, #dinorais, #easilyconfused, #jibby, #macha etc. There are few regulars who would contribute to the ‘topic of the day’ – @kavilan, @anthraxxxx, @Asohan, @CKGord, @Aisehman, @stephendoss, @altimet, @victorliew, @plenteh – just to name few. What else to keep us entertained on any boring working day but some good laughs, right? Let’s worry about the work productivity later..
“Saya kata jangan….”
Rais Yatim has been consistently making headlines for the wrong reasons and his recent remark on social medias – Facebook and Twitter is just too juicy to bite on. Malaysian tweeple have been tweeting about Rais Yatim and his culturedly ancient views for the past few days, and #dinorais was used to refer to tweets about him.
Well, probably it was not catchy enough but yesterday, after I sent out a tweet with the hashtag #yorais, Malaysian tweeple went amok and the rest is history.
The first #yorais tweet
Few trivias on #yorais
1. Rais Yatim doesn’t have a Twitter account, yet his name made it to the top 3 Twitter trending topics.
2. Rais Yatim is probably right that Malaysians are too immersed with Facebook and Twitter lol. Either that or Malaysians love him to bits…
3. #yorais is a parody of the famous Yo Momma jokes, but creative tweeple came up with various versions of it – your eyes, you raise, your ass, nyior ais (iced nyior ) – making fun of the pronunciation along the way. The funniest one must be by @duuuhvina : ♫ #yorais me up, so i can stand on mountains ♫
Read up blog posts by these awesome tweeple on how #yorais took Twitter by a storm stories:
ps: I’m not sure whether #yorais making it to the Twitter trending topics is actually a good thing or not, since we are exhibiting our lame duck, backward and out of touch with reality Information Minister for the whole world to see. *weak smile* Good thing is, it unites Malaysians in a perverse kind of way…
Watched 2012 last night. Didn’t plan it in advance, Ras only asked me in the evening to join him and Luk for movie at 8pm. When we reached there, the seats for 8pm show were sold out. Then we decided to watch the 10pm show but only after much deliberations.
The reason was because there were no better seats to choose from, with only the 2 rows at the front left. Luk and I didn’t want to sit at the front rows. We walked away from the counter but after much coaxing from Ras, I let in and Luk had no choice but to follow us back to the ticketing counter .
In the end, we decided to do this.
Only those seats with colour were available, together with the 1st and 2nd row from the screen. I sat at the red seat, Luk at the dark blue seat and Ras at the green seat. Initially, I jokingly asked Luk to seat at the yellow seat, me at the red seat and Ras at the light blue seat and that would be fun LOL!
So, have you ever been to movie with bunch of friends but end up sitting scattered around? Last night was my first time. Not referring to my sexual experience, duh! Wait, I’m a virgin at heart and mind.
What about 2012? Let me see. The special effects effects are incredibly awesome. You want to see kick ass, awesome explosions? 2012 has atomic bomb like explosion, better than any explosion you get in Die Hard installments, Armageddon, The Rock, GI Joe etc. You want earthquakes? Let’s send California sinking into the sea, shall we?
Fires everywhere, tsunamis flooding India, China, Japan. Even Mount Himalaya and Everest Peak are not spared from the gigantic waves. More people get killed in this movie alone than all the end of day movies combined. Yes, I kid you not. 2012 kills gazillion people without breaking a sweat and as usual, the hero and his family will survive against all odds, on cue for a happy ending.
The storyline sucks. If you’re looking for a reasonable perspective, don’t watch the movie. It offers none. In fact, it is kinda ridiculous, I’m going to offer some senseless ’morals of the story’ and ‘conclusions’ on my own after watching the movie.
1. Money talks. It pays to be rich and connected. It helps you to get somewhere and in this movie, to get your ass saved. Heh, locally, that is how it works, too. Or if you don’t have the dough, you have to be lucky. F*cking lucky not just lucky lucky.
2. Chinese are great builders, they can do crazy things with ridiculous deadline. And they care about their families, a lot. Oh ya, never say no to your grandmother if you’re Chinese.
3. Indians are the smartest people on earth and they always speak English in a very Indian way. Now how come that Tibetan Chinese speaks good English lol
4. Russians love fast cars, they talk in a very deep voice. Any Russian can do a voice over for Vin Diesel if he is having a bad sore throat. And Russians treat women like garbage.
5. The last president of the United States of America is black. And he has a hot daughter. Why the president in the movie always has a hot daughter?
6. The person with the inside scoops, the one with conspiracy theories which later proven true is always a crackpot. And crackpot always don’t shave.
7. Hero always has dysfunctional family. Overly stressed by Hollywood films, dramas. Cliche!
8. The world consists of just G8 countries. Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh ya, and Brazil. Eh, how come China is in? Oh, refer point 2.
9. Flying a plane is an easy feat, when you’re in a desperate situation.
10. Where ever the hero goes, disastrous trails follow closely behind. Literally. But not too close, just close enough for him to get away..
11. A lot of assholes can afford to fork out 1 billion Euro.
In my unworthy opinion, 2012 is just another doomsday movie. *yawn* Now, go get your ticket and sit for 2 hours to watch the entire continents destroyed!
ps: Couldn’t help but noticed some cinema goers are really fucking scums. Sit at your seat, follow the number written on your ticket, asshole! And fucking keep your phone in silent mode. Who cares if you have the coolest ringtone in town if you are an uncivilised fucker.
JELEBU, April 19 (Bernama) — Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim has urged private television (TV) and radio stations to change by putting national interest above commercial value.
He would be meeting the management of private TV and radio stations soon to bring about changes as they had failed to deliver the government’s aspirations resulting in Barisan Nasional’s (BN) poor performance at the general election last year.
“People will not blame the private TV and radio stations if they had complied with the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998.
“This will not arise if the Act is followed. There are stations that do not carry messages good for nation building,” he told reporters after a cultural function at Simpang Pertang near here Sunday.
Rais however did not totally blame the media as they had been very helpful to BN over the years.
He stressed that the changes to be made by the private TV and radio stations would not affect them commercially.
“I will be looking at the role of television and radio stations in nation building. There are 34 radio stations under the government.”.
Rais said the ministry would find new ways to deliver the government aspirations to the people.
“We will look at utilising mobile phones by using SMS messages to help in nation building,” he said.
Asked about the decision to return the Bahasa Malaysia news on RTM1 to its 8pm primetime slot, Rais said it has to be done as lots of complaints were received after it was shifted to 9pm.
“Going against what the public wants is not good for a government TV station,” he added.

It is hard to agree with what an blithering idiot has to say, but I’ll make an exception today.
Rais Yatim, I AGREE wholeheartedly with you that private TV and radio stations AND paper media that you successfully whipped into submission to be part of the government’s propaganda machine had failed to deliver the government’s aspirations resulting in Barisan Nasional’s (BN) poor performance at the general perfomance last year!
Sack the editors! You know why? Because they still FAIL! After Muhyiddin Yasin blamed the media for misquoting, misinterpreting, mistranslated his ‘Chinese are ungrateful’ statement, now The Star and Utusan Malaysia seem to be trapped in confusion. Poor MSM.
(Utusan Malaysia, 19 April 2009) – Ahli Parlimen Johor Bahru, Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad berkata, jambatan bengkok menghubungkan Malaysia-Singapura wajar diteruskan.
Kata beliau, jambatan yang menghubungkan Tanjung Puteri di Johor dan Woodlands di Singapura itu boleh dilaksanakan dengan semangat setia kawan antara kedua-dua negara.
(The Star, 20 April 2009) – Johor Baru MP Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad is against the revival of the crooked bridge project and has instead proposed that both countries work together to build a straight one.
“It has come to my attention that many Johoreans are hopeful that our new prime minister and Cabinet will revive the crooked bridge project. The public must understand that bilateral ties between both countries will suffer if the project is revived,” he said, adding that the Malaysian Government should consider all implications when reviewing the project.

ps: I am so glad I have another idiot to bash after Syed Hamid has retired. We never short of idiots running this country.
pss: So, according to Rais, it’s everybody’s fault that BN lose its 2/3 majority at the general election last year but BN. Great huh? I bet this is the best post mortem done by their experts.
psss: I am not sure whether Rais thinks this piece of shit is part of his ‘messages for good nation building” idea.
