Of overshooting, mulut becak and cocke-a-doo...

It is getting more difficult to circumvate and read alternative news...thus you have to make do with reading alternative pro and cons of news. Whatever, will 1MPM6 be travelling to Laos and meet his golfing buddy Obama and at the same time court Xi Jinping on the possible HSR project connecting S'pore and Kuala Lumpur? Someone, somewhere needs to pay for all this, isn't it? Nothing comes free...


Pink Floyd's Malaysian bricker observed this in his blog. Rightly or wrongly, BBC News used to be the world's mouthpiece, once upon a time. Now with CNN here to stay, it is just another Commonwealth mouthpiece...

Even as a second tier news carrier, Rahman Dahlan has no business commenting and agreeing that MO1 is indeed someone in Putrajaya. Rahman is overshooting his use. Worse, his statement will not carry much weight if he is a leader from UMNO Sabah. But being an elected MP, a minister and BN strategics Director, his statement carry the full weight, waiting for the opposition to pounce and capitalise. Is Rahman stupid? Or is he preparing to jump ship?

Being a full time politician, Rahman may know something that we, the outsiders, only dare to whisper and speculate. As BN strategic Director, he is privy to some of the most sensitive information. He may not like what he sees and by his political calculation, he sees BN caving in soon. Rahman needs a new firmer and stronger base and the best way is to start building a strong footing elsewhere. In the meantime, Rahman is scooping what he can get, chicken feed or not.

Rahman Dahlan did not turn out to be the man he is today by being timid. When 1MDB burst into international news, Rahman strategically put himself in the limelight and directly under 1MPM6's spotlight by being the defender warrior which he is not. Fortunately, his comrades in arms are as "clever" as him, coming in the lights of Ahmad Maslan, Azalina, Nazri, Salleh and Sabri... with them as his "classmates", Rahman managed to be "top student" and gain 1MPM6's confidence to man BN's strategic director. See - you can go far by being a mulut becak, regardless whether it is of substance or not...

In my younger days, there is always this taboo that you should refrain from getting married if it is too close to Ramadan. Why? Easy, you need to minimise the prospect of "3 months continuous fine" if your lust overwhelmed your patience... whilst you are fasting during Ramadan. Now that Ramadan is over and Zulhijjah is beckoning, Khir Toyo leads by getting hitched to a 39-year old convert. Age difference? 12 years. And another icon ends his duda days by getting hitched on Merdeka eve. Age difference? 26 years. Unconfirmed reports say the pro-term President of a newly-formed party may also be getting hitched for the second time. To all of them, let's pray they will be happily married till death do them apart...

However, there are some who loves to crows and assume... Some say Khir is getting married to endear himself to the non-Malays. Some say Muhyiddin take the path to clean his record. What I say is - It's their life and if they do it the "halal" way, why make it a fuss? Don't be like "Ayam jantan kokok berderai-derai, belakang penuh najis"!!

Can't wait to see when Justo Xavier will be transferred to Swiss jail...

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
