    Last Friday, Barisan Nasional assemblyman Hamidah Osman was reported to have asked Speaker V. Sivakumar if he “agreed to disagree” with a saying of whether a snake or an Indian should be killed first.

    Her comment was deemed “unacceptable” and she was called a racist by many, including politicians practicing race-based politics.

    So like any good politician, she has since issued a public apology:

    “To err is human and we all make mistakes. If my words had hurt the feelings of any Indian, I ask for forgiveness,” she said in what she termed was her third apology to the community.She said her statement was from an old Malay proverb that meant to ‘not twist one’s words around.’

    So it would seem that all is hunky dory in Bolehland again.

    More recently, Malim Nawar assemblyman Keshvinder Singh left Pakatan to be BN friendly. He said that his decision was in the best interests of his constituents because he believes that only BN can help develop the area, which is largely rural.


    Interestingly, one of the bodyguards accompanying Keshvinder told Malaysiakini that they work for one ‘Hamidah’.

    So I guess he’s fucked now.

  3. Newton Nukes the News: Fancy Handicrafts

    May 4, 2010 by June:Wow

    The Malaysian Anti-Corruption people say giving red packets, if the intention is to get someone to do something for you, amounts to corruption. Looks like they’re gonna be pretty busy. Everyone giving out red packets at Chinese New Year is trying to get the recipient to do something in return – to share in the joy of giving, for example.

    But there is one comfort in these new “guidelines” (which, also “depend on the circumstances”, whatever that means). The next time some big shot turns up to launch your new perfume/open your new night club/christen your new Ferarri, and you want to give him a red packet to say “Thank you, can I also have that project in Sepang”, to get the MACC off your back, why not give a small souvenir instead, such as a bit of handicraft. You will then feel safe in the knowledge that handicrafts do not amount to corruption. Oh I dunno, maybe a little something like this:
