Maybe the Meaning of Life is not 42… it’s 13
It will be another 13 days till Janus looks back at the Gregorian heavenly gates of 2009 and closes it; only to reopen another set of heavenly gates and looks onwards at the temporal beginnings of 2010 the very next second. 13 is also such a mind boggling number – to many, it is an [...]
Malaysian Revisionism?
I found that A Kadir Jasin‘s quote turned my tummy into knots: “Bukankah kerana keadilan sosial dan meritokrasi DEB maka begitu ramai orang bukan Melayu mampu ke universiti-universiti ternama di dunia atas pembiayaan sendiri mengatasi bilangan Bumiputera yang dibiayai oleh Kerajaan?” Hmmm… My thoughts on the DEB is that it had its use, had its [...]
Form the govt today, reduce fuel prices tomorrow debate video and responses
For those who missed the live telecast or even the online live telecast at Global Media Channel, you can find an uninterrupted version below. However, this video missed the first two minutes of Anwar’s opening but you can get a summary of points in English over at Anil Netto’s site. Alternatively you can watch the [...]
People want credible info, doesn’t matter from where
The powers that be will do better in loosening their grip on the mainstream media than get into a fight for the hearts of the elitist inhabitants of blogosphere, of whom this writer SHARIZAL SHAARANI can be counted as one. This article first appeared in the Malaysian Insider MAY 28 — I find it odd [...]
The Competition for God
Apparently violence preaching is not monopolised by one religion This was a reply to a friend’s reaction on facebook to this cartoon strip by Jack Chick.

From the Star By LOUISA LIM louisa@thestar.com.my For all the gripes about our country’s uniformed personnel, be they firefighters or police officers, or even soldiers, it is easy to forget [...]
Should Malaysiakini Go Free?
This is my letter published by Malaysiakini when they asked readers to respond to whether Malaysiakini should go free. ————————————- I am appalled with the suggestions by many that they would embrace a free Malaysiakini. This remnant of the subsidy mentality must be nipped at the bud as by now they should know that there [...]
When Bloggers Blog Baloneys
We have to admit it, sometimes bloggers spew out trash just as rotten as the trash they claim that comes out from the mainstream media. Case-in-point: recently Shanghai Fish “scooped an insider” story trying to warn us how the NST is trying to kiss ass to the new media with a comment piece by Lee [...]
I’d Like My Testicles On Ice Please!
Does anyone know why the testicles hang outside of the body? This is because the testicles need to remain cooler than the rest of the body to be at its best working condition. These past few weeks, the family and including myself have been busy trying to make my grandfather recuperate and help him regain [...]
(for) Virgin Suicides
The recent suicide bombing attempt at Glasgow Airport has baffled the Scots; no, not because there are no virgins in Glasgow, but rather its a question of “why us?” Over drinks with some friends, we hypothesised that now, this little apparent muslim misadventure could be used against Islam: The IRA could now bomb Northern Ireland [...]
