I know this is old, but the information minister's interview with al-jazeera reminded me of another interview, this time, by Miss Teen South Carolina 2007, Caitlin Upton
Enjoy!!
Bimbo all the way!!

Watch and Learn II
Again, we watch, we learn.
Even as a Kelantan born and speaking person, I can't make out the shouts and screams of the YB Dato' Nozula Mat Diah. Professional la skit kite ni... Aiyoo!!
p/s: Good for Datu' Ramzi for his part in stopping the fight. He's the only person in the video I recognize.

Apaaaakah? (dgn nada qayyum)
No offence, q. main2 je..
But seriously, somethings are really out of hand now.
I was shocked, like everybody else, when I checked my bank account last Monday and found out that our generous government gave us a hefty allowance of $1336.90. Wow!! What an increase!
But let's not get too carried away yet!
I later found out that our scholarship was upgraded to $835.oo from the original $660+. But here's the catch. From now on, (like mentioned previously) there would be no more 60/40 policy, i.e, we would be paying our housings ourselves! And according to the vanderbilt website, the estimated housing cost for a student is $3,728, which makes it approximately $900+ monthly. Thus, mathematically, our monthly scholar isn't even enough to pay for housing, let alone for food and everything! Adding spice to that, students with meal plan would have to pay $400+ for their food. Kalau boleh petik duit dari pokok, senanglaa.
So, hopefully, our kind, generous, and RATIONAL government would rethink the idea of demolishing the 60/40 policy. It'll benefit everyone!

Watch and Learn
I remember the TPM's wife, Rosmah saying something like don't believe the things that are in the internet. They are all false. But when I look at an actual video footage, if anything, it's trust worthy.
I don't know about you guys, but this is so ridiculous. I feel like biting the guys head off!

English Havoc for minister
OK, despite the chaos of 11/10, I am not here to condemn the Malaysian government, nor it's policies. I'm sure many have done that already, and plus, me condemning the government now is (for me) not a situation I dare put myself in.
My friend showed me this video on YouTube. It's an amateur TV recording of an interview between the Information Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Zainuddin Maidin and Al-Jazeera. Enjoy.
Whilst there may be tons of reasons why he's the Malaysian Information Minister, I'm sure his proficiency in English and temperament management skills aren't one of them. Which really contradicts to what major qualities I thought would make a good information minister. But ya, since he's the minister, and I'm just plain rakyat jelata, my conscience is probably wrong here.
But heck, anyways, for a guy interviewed by the international press all the time, his proficiency in English is a disaster. English is, by all means, the lingua franca. He's in desperate needs to master spoken English. My God! You can't tell who's worse, Sammy Vellu's Malay or Zainuddin's English (and for that matter, compare Siti's as well). And mind you, I'm not saying my English is any better than his, but then again, he is the Information Minister of Malaysia!
His inability to hold his temper is nothing to be a proud of, too! He boiled and exploded during the Al-Jazeera interview, which, most probably, led to his inability to talk fluently.
And him accusing other nations this and that really surprised me. How absurd! I really didn't see that coming. I wonder what Myanmar, Burma and Pakistan would think about those improper remarks.
That's probably about what I can come up with regarding with foulness. And may I remind the readers that my intentions are not to condemn the government nor it's policies. Not is it about politics. Case closed.
