SHAMED MALAYSIA
1.   I was censured by Anifah Aman, the Foreign Minister, that I shamed Malaysia by giving an interview to an American newspaper "The New York Times.

2.   Maybe Anifah never read American newspaper before and trying to tarnish my name by making it a basic to protect Prime Minister Najib. But the whole world knows about Dato Sri Najib, Jho Low and 1MDB. Famous newspapers in Washington, New York and London have published a lengthy article that occupied four pages about 1MDB scandal, Najib and his luxury lifstyle, his best friend Jho Low and his step son, Riza Aziz who financed a porn film title "The Wolf of Wall Street".

3.   A study by foreign experts claimed that Malaysia is one of top ten most corrupt country.

4.   But Anifah is not ashamed with these reports. There isn't even a single word about this from him.

5.   All these reports tarnishing Malaysia was made long before I critise Dato Sri Najib.

6.   If Anifah knows the meaning of shame, he would have felt ashamed when these newspapers reports about Malaysia. He should have questioned Najib about the scandals and reports in foreign medias. He should have advised Dato Sri Najib about his friendship with Jho Low and forbid his step son from acting as a whealthy man.

7.   In other countries, this kind of scandal which implicate a leader would have the leader resign and apologise. But in Malaysia, there are people protecting the leader without any reason, only for the purpose of safeguarding own position.

8.   In reality, Dato Sri Najib is the one who shamed Malaysia with his 1MDB. Before this, Malaysia never been ridiculed by unanswered accusations like now.

PINGGAN BERTINTA PANTUN Pinggan bertinda pantun adalah penanda yang menandakan kepentingan rangkap catur larik dalam masyarakat Melayu pada masa dahulu. Bagi pengumpul barangan seramik dan barangan tembikar, nama Staffordshire mungkin sinonim dengan nana-nama seperti Wedgwood, Royal Doulton dan Royal Albert . Barangan berjenama ini merupakan pinggan mangkuk meja dan pinggan hiasan serta patung hiasan kecil yang menghiasi meja-meja dan dinding-dinding di kebanyakan runah di Malaysia. Bagaimanapun, hanya sedikit yang menyedari bahawa ada di antara pinggan-pinggan ini mula dibuat di Staffordshire , sebuah mukim di West Midlands di England bagi pasaran timur, ditulis dengan pantun Melayu dalam tulisan Jawi. Mungkin seawal tahun 1826, beberapa rangkap catur larik Melayu yang baik telah dipindahkan ke pinggan oleh para pengusaha sebelum dibawa belayar untuk pasaran di dunia Melayu. Kebanyakan pinggan bertinta pantun ini merupakan pinggan makan biasa dan ada juga mempunya...

LESSONS FROM ANCIENT COMEDIES There is wisdom in these seemingly silly tales Picture this. A man mistakenly gives his newborn baby a bath in boiling hot water. The child's face, grimaced and distorted, reflects her agony. In the throes of death, she fails her hands about and dies in her father's arms. This is one of the most gruesome scenes in the popular Malay folk literature series of Pak Pandir.Pak Pandir, in absurd conclusion, looks at the baby's face and thinks she is laughing with glee. Mak Andeh comes home, to find her only daughter scalded to death. How this could be considered comedy is probably beyond the comprehension of the modern audiences of today. And yet, perhaps, this is the genius of the ancient comedies in delivering the simplest of messages. That sheer stupidity can cause great grief and untold personal loss. The unthinkable makes you think. Why such tales? Perhaps comedies are prevalent in all old fables as a means to share wisdom...

Bukan Sungai Mati ANEH TETAPI MENARIK : Sungai Mati, selain daripada namanya yang mengerikan, tempat ini hidup dan menyeronokan walaupun pembangunannya agak perlahan. Penulis tertarik dengan nama di pekan kecil ini yang berhampiran dengan Muar. Tersorok di pertengahan jalan utama antara Muar dan Bukit Gambir ialah sebuah pekan kecil bernama Sungai Mati. Pekan ini mudah ditemui kerana pusat bandarnya ialah tiga penjuru persimpangan jalan dengan dibarisi deretan kedai diperbuat daripada kayu. Terdapat lampu isyarat besar di persimpangan jalan tersebut yang memberi kesempatan kepada para pengguna jalan raya untuk melihat bagaimana masa tidak berlalu di bandar yang aneh tetapi menarik dalam daerah Muar. Beberapa tahun lalu, deretan kedai ini diberi nafas baharu apabila dicat dengan warna lavender, warna merah jambu dan warna biege. Penduduk di sini berkata tidak banyak perubahan berlaku di pekan ini kecuali beberapa kawasan perumahan baru dibina di pinggir perk...
