Bloggers Classified

So now the govt has interrupted the all-peaceful and tranquil cyber world of blogging, and for that the govt has come up with a set of 'commandments' though not official, but I am dubious whether or not to cry or to laugh on this 'decree' issued by our 'God'. Zainuddin Proposes Classification Of Web Bloggers May 05, 2007 18:29 PM KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 (Bernama) -- Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin said today Malaysia has to classify web bloggers as professionals and...

Ijok – No Joke (Pt.2)

BN secured victory in Ijok and kicked PKR once more thus denying the come back of the former DPM, Anwar Ibrahim. As usual the by-election was 'decorated' (marred?) with violence, heavy presence of police and alleged phantom voters. Surprisingly, the majority was even larger (1,850) than the previous election results (1,649) BUT Ijok witnessed a swing of Chinese votes to PKR. Chinese voters are known to have use votes 'wisely' either to return favour OR punish the current runners. History...

Live Rampage

Malaysians are insane nowadays. Road rage caught live on camera by a motorcyclist along the Federal Highway near Angkasapuri. Read on! KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist went on a rampage and smashed the window of a car which had earlier grazed his motorcycle along the Federal Highway in front of the Angkasapuri complex yesterday. The irony is that he was in the wrong as he was supposed to use the motorcycle lane. The man’s rage was captured by New Straits Times photographer Zulkarnain...

Ijok – No Joke (Pt.1)

Ijok ain't no joke. I showed more interest in Ijok compared to Batu Talam and Machap despite the latter was contested by Chinese. It wasn't about that Chinese/DAP contested seats aren't 'hot' to be noticed, but due to the fact that Machap was chink-on-chink thing and Batu Talam was a no-name contestant versus an UMNO old-timer; I don't see anything interesting in those two as BN are not picking someone their own size. Similarly, both opposition candidates for Batu Talam and Machap are...

Pimpin’ Point (Pt.1)

I reminisce back in during the Poetic Ammo days during my college years blasting my speakers to 'Kuala Lumpur', 'Kam Sang Tah Kong Chai', 'Vallavan' and 'Peluru Puitis' imitating Yogi's beatboxing and Point's Chinaman emceeing skills that rocked the nation's hip-hop scene after a hiatus in absence. The beats are fresh and the music is mature. It was about the same time I get to know Wu-Tang Clan, and it was just right to have known them while I delve deep into the territories of rap and...

Machap Mashed-Up

It was a by election that turned ugly when several members of the opposition party was assaulted by Samy's wrecking crew. Using the party flag pole itself, they show-off superiorism by scarring the faces of their victim with their symbolic party flag. The flag itself was stained in blood was then awaiting investigation. DAP vow to use it as proof that MIC are the original suppressor and persecutor of their own race. It's another 'black-on-black' crime seems like it, and it not only happens...

Hot Dawgs 4 Hot Job

Bad news for pirates - Malaysia has recently deployed two sniffer dogs in its battle against music and movie piracy thanks to the joint effort of MDCTA (under Datuk Shafie Apdal) and MPAA (Mike Ellis). It was claimed that Malaysia has become the first country in the world to use the animals to hunt for disks of illegal recordings hidden in cargo. Two female Black Labradors, Flo and Lucky, flew specially from London to help them authorities to sniff their way into nailing those...

Tend-Cruel At-None Monster

Tengku Adnan Mansor (Tend-Cruel At-None Monster) is the latest entry in Malaysian bloggers P.E.N.O.L (Public Enemy Number One List). His claims saying that;“All bloggers are liars, they cheat people using all kinds of methods. From my understanding, out of 10,000 unemployed bloggers, 8,000 are women.” has just created an uproar thus disrupted once peaceful (again) Malaysian blogging scene. And to show solidarity with our female blogger counterparts, this is my response to that...

Pimpin’ Muar

I ain't from Muar but this hip-hopper that hails from Muar (麻坡) has certainly break the barriers of Malaysian urban music scene which was long dominated by English and Malay rappings. Though it was humourously funny, this amateurish production feats rapping with a fusion of local Malaysian Mandarin with a twist of Johorian Hokkien dialect certainly adds comedic value of this rapper and a fair portrayal of his hometown scenario where he hails from. For ya'll who dunno where Muar is, it is...
