Tony Fernandes, the CEO of AirAsia… has started blogging.
I hate blogs that require registrations to leave a comment, but his blog is probably worth a read… he is one of the most exciting corporate leaders in Malaysia after all.
When a government is formed by other means beside a reasonably fair election, it means democracy is really dead.
Some of the Malaysians like to brag that Malaysia’s democracy is already dead when in fact it’s not; but they are perfectly happy to kill the democracy with their own hands. Bloody hypocrites.
If Anwar does have the numbers of MPs to crossover, he should dissolve the parliament and hold another General Election and win it fair and square… I’ll be more than happy to support him to become our next Prime Minister then.
I am not going to approve any other means to form our government besides via a public election… this crossover is going to dampen the basic constitution of the nation, and the damage could be far worse than whatever Malaysia is experiencing now.
Think twice before supporting the idea my fellow Malaysians… don’t be liaison in murdering the country’s democracy.
Hope all the seamen held hostages by Somalian pirates will return home safely.
Well, it’s official… the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has ordered the 19 Internet service providers (ISPs) in the country to block the Malaysia-Today website [more on Thestar]
When will the government learn that oppression is never the best way to win support? With Anwar’s threat to seize control looming near, the BN government should take every right measures to win back the people’s support… but bizarrely they are trying to harm their reputation further instead by committing the obvious fault.
You can still access Malaysia-Today via the mirror site or follow the steps by Crankshaft to bypass the ISP block.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced a new fuel price which will be effective on Saturday (August 23).

Lim Guan Eng, as the Chief Minister of Penang, should really start moving forward and show what he is capable of as a state leader, not as an opposition leader.
No point wasting too much time digging old fault of the previous government; the Penang folks knew how corrupted the previous government was… they might not know the details, but they were suspecting something huge.
Or else, does DAP think that they won the state in March because Penangties love them that much? People voted for Pakatan because they no longer have fate with BN, and Pakatan was their only option for making a change… and a change is what LGE and his state exco need to do.
What the people want to see is better governance and better quality of living… and digging old fault doesn’t help. What LGE needs to do is to be clean and transparent, improve infrastructures, create job opportunities and reduce cost of living.
The BN central government probably won’t help much to build the state… it won’t be easy for LGE obviously. But that’s what a political leader should do, to overcome difficulties and to find solutions… or else any Ah Beng could have become Chief Minister if it’s an easy job.
As credit due, LGE didn’t perform badly during his tenure for the last few months… but it certainly hasn’t been great yet. Show us what you got Lim Guan Eng, as a true leader, a government leader, and not just an opposition leader. Time to move forward.
Malaysia government has told the concert promoter for Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne to postpone her concert because her performance is not aligned with our independence day celebrations. [via Malaysianinsider and Reuters]
The decision echoed PAS Youth’s objection against the concert. Kamarulzaman Mohamed, a party youth official, said that Lavigne’s show was “considered too sexy for us” and would promote the wrong values just before Merdeka.”
PAS said something, and UMNO government agreed with it… how often did this happened in the past? Seems like the secret meeting a few weeks ago between the two parties is bearing some fruits.
Update - the ministry have changed their mind; the concert will go on.
Hopeless…
