At the invitation of my second cousin Datin Halimah Said, I was back in my hometown Seremban this morning for the launch of Galeri JASA Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Mohamed Said bin Mohamed, at her family home in Gedung Lalang. It was a most welcome homecoming indeed for yours truly to meet long lost kith and kin, also for a belated Hari Raya gathering.

My posting on the Teresa Kok vs Utusan Melayu’s RM30 million suit, In Defence of Utusan Malaysia, has drawn a record number of comments (449 comments as I write this). The letter by Mansur Putih that I published h e r e brought in 323 comments.
I believe that the many people had responded because they care about the Freedom of our Press.

By the end of 1978, there were nearly 62,000 Vietnamese ‘boat people’ in camps throughout Southeast Asia. As the numbers grew, so too did local hostility. Adding to the tension was the fact that several of the boats arriving on the shores of countries in Southeast Asia were not small wooden fishing craft but steel-hulled freighters chartered by regional smuggling syndicates and carrying over 2,000 people at a time.

The People’s Parliment
I’ve read Rocky’s post ‘In defence of Utusan Malaysia’, some of the many comments to the same, the offending article that appeared in Utusan, Teresa’s statement of claim againt Utusan and the posting in the UMNO Cheras website relating to the ‘Tabung Azan’ initiative launched by UMNO Cheras, announced by Senator Syed Ali Alhabshee and, it would seem, now supported by Rocky.

That Khan’s Datukship given by Malacca Chief Minister Mohd Ali Rustam’s government sinks Malaysia’s royal titles to its lowest depths possible. It’s a shame the Yang diPertua Negeri of Melaka was shipped out to sea along with that dumber state CEO. Maybe Hollywood would do a blockbuster starring Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery again, followed by a glittering Tan Sri award ceremony for “missing” out the first time because “ENTRAPMENT did not have enough trappings, though there are many fans out here, including this writer, who find the actress totalling enthralling. Okay, I concede she did not tower above the Petronas Twin Towers! Perhaps matey Blogger Bernard Khoo aka Zorro can be gifted a byte part, then can board the Datuk ship? — YL Chong

“Keep the cronies and family members at bay”. Read h e r e****.
Najib will ignore this advice at his own peril. We’ve seen what happened when a PM lets his unscrupulous cronies and family members [and their own unscrupulous cronies and family members] run the country as if it’s their fiefdom.
