Ever wonder why some blogs are so popular?
Well, according to ‘reliable sources’, this is because they write ehem… femininely. These bloggers ooze feminine aura, attracting male and female readers, just like how Danielliew.com put it ‘woman attracts’. Same theory why there are many female pageants but no male pageants haha! Who wants to watch male pageants anyway? Not me..
Umno sacks Zaid
Rahmah Ghazali | Dec 2, 08 11:42pmUmno Supreme Council today sacked Zaid Ibrahim from the party for attending opposition events.
Umno president Abdullah Ahmad Badawi made the announcement at about 11.30pm after chairing the supreme council meeting at party headquarters in Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur.
Abdullah did not give any details of the opposition events that Zaid had attended.
The supreme council meeting started at 8.30pm and Zaid’s participation in the opposite camp was among the main agenda for the day.
To a question by reporters, Abdullah said that Zaid had no avenue to appeal against his dismissal.
“Once he has been sacked, there is no opportunity to appeal,” said the prime minister during the 10-minute press conference.
Also present at the press conference were his deputy Najib Abdul Razak and party secretary general Tengku Adnan Mansor.
When asked if Zaid had provoked this sort of action from the party by being seen with the opposition, Abdullah said:
“There were wrongdoings by Zaid as he was seen in the company of the opposition leaders. This is something which is against Umno ethics.”
Party had no choice
Abdullah said that Umno had no choice but to take that drastic action against Zaid.
“The party must be consistent in these sort of matters,” he added.
The former de facto law minister has been toying with the opposition ever since he stepped down from his government post in September over his disapproval of the Internal Security Act.
Last Saturday he made a shocking appearance at the PKR national congress opening. He however had denied that he had joined any of the opposition parties.
“Yes, yes, I am still in Umno. I have not been sacked yet,” he had told reporters on Saturday.
And on Friday night, he was seen at the DAP victory dinner in Penang.
Aris Shah still an Umno member
On another matter, Abdullah said that the council also discussed the situation involving Seberang Jaya state assemblyperson Arif Shah Omar Shah who was reportedly being allured by the PKR.
There were also reports of an open tiff between Arif Shah and other state Umno leaders.
PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim also revealed today that he had invited Arif Shah to join PKR, but had not offered him the deputy chief minister 1 post as an enticement, as was widely reported.
Abdullah said that Arif Shah had met him and told him of his intention to remain in Umno.
“He came to meet me yesterday. He explained to me that he has no intention to join another political party.
“He remains as an Umno member and will be an Umno state assemblyperson,” said Abdullah.
No candidate yet for Kuala Terengganu
On the forthcoming Kuala Terengganu by-election, Abdullah said that the party has not finalised a candidate for the parliamentary seat.
However he said that the party has ordered its election machinery to be hit the ground for the by-election.
The seat fell vacant following the sudden death of its two-term Umno MP Razali Ismail on Nov 28.
The Election Commission will be meeting on Friday to determine the nomination and polling dates for the by-election which should be held 60 days from today.
PAS has said that it would be placing its candidate for the by-election.
On another matter, Abdullah also said that Najib briefed the council members on the economic situation of the country.
Eurocopter whistleblower suspended
The supreme council at its meeting today also decided to suspend the Petaling Jaya Umno division chief Zahar Hashim for three years with immediate effect.
Zahar had previously been involved in lodging an Anti-Corruption Agency report against Abdullah for abusing his position as the Umno president in the run-up to party polls and nominations.
He was also the person who first raised the alleged discrepancies in the government’s tender process for the procurement of a new fleet of helicopters for the armed forces.

Now we learn few things about Umno..
1) You can make racially charged (Ahmad Ismail) or barbarian degrading remarks (Pasir Salak MP) but it is okay. The most you get suspended for 3 years and still received hero’s welcome (Ahmad Ismail) or free like bird to do or say whatever you want because you are a hero! (Pasir Salak)
A very quick one.

KL-Sibu flight 7am. Departed from Ampang at 4.30am. Checked in at 6am. Luggage extra weight by 8kg and paid RM120. (even after I hand carry probably 10kg? Damn Air Asia is so good at extorting making money) Arrived in Sibu 9am, met up with Suituapui, grabbed a Kolo Mee at Rasa Sayang Cafe. Taste damn good! Thanks Suituapui! *wink wink! 10.30am bus journey to Sarikei, reached home around 11.45am and rest for the day.
You guys probably watched Bee End Downfall Parody already. Little that I know some UNIMAS students made a parody of Sembilu 2005 before. (Or so they claimed) Damn this video is hillarious! Well, provided you understand the language. It is in Bahasa Melayu Sarawak.
Let me teach you some of the words in Bahasa Melayu Sarawak, so you can put it to good use later. Just that day Aeropama and Noktah Hitam said they had no freaking idea what Nono and I were talking about in the comment box when we started to chat in Bahasa Sarawak.
I was ‘Souled Out’ last Friday. The purpose of the gathering, other than getting boozed up –
1) A friend of us leaving to UK for work soon;
2) A friend of us is having a surgical operation this week; and
3) Celebrate somebody’s coming birthday on November 30th and his good riddance from KL end of this week
Pahang Enlists Pensioners As Bloggers
TEMERLOH, Nov 23 (Bernama) — The Pahang government has appointed three pensioners as bloggers to thwart slanderous comments and allegations posted on the Internet.
State Information, Science, Technology and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said the bloggers, who would be paid allowances, would be provided with computers and the Internet access in their homes.
The pensioners can capitalise on their experience to explain the actual situation to the people besides providing feedbacks and opinions to the government, he told reporters after attending the Senior Citizens Day organised by the Pahang Chapter of the Malaysian Government Pensioners’ Association here Saturday.
“More bloggers will be appointed. We value pensioners’ thoughts in our efforts to improve the state’s economy and prosperity and unity of the people,” he said.
Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob told the state legislative assembly recently that he was slandered by a blogger.

Aww… This is so cute. They just don’t have a clue, do they?
The government does not only consider the crude oil price but also other costs, such as for refinery and the processing, to determine the pump prices of fuel.
“It also has to calculate the margin for the industry of 19.54 sen per litre for petrol companies and 12.19 sen per litre for petrol stations, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Shahrir, (No more calling him Datuk for me. If you notice I seldom refer any politician as Datuk, except Datuk Jessica Alba) it seems like you have completely gone over to the Dark Side. I used to respect you, as one of few UMNO members who has some intergrity and balls. Now you are spouting twisted, retarded bullshits for Malaysians to digest?
