Teresa Kok blasts Hisham over 'dirty' Teo remark

Image
Seputeh MP and DAP publicity secretary Teresa Kok has lashed out at Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein for describing fellow DAP parliamentarian Teo Nie Ching as “dirty” and her visit to surau as a “disaster” for the Muslim community. In a statement issued today, the senior Selangor exco ( right ) said Hishammuddin has sunk to “a new low” and displayed the hypocrisy of his character in the terms he used to describe Teo, who is Serdang member of parliament. “I question where Hishamuddin received the knowledge and moral authority to judge anyone to be dirty, least of all Teo Nie Ching, who entered the surau in sincerity and with an open heart, and only because the surau leaders invited her in. “She has already issued a humble public apology to all concerned. I shudder to think (whether) Hishammuddin considers Teo Nie Ching dirty because she is non-Muslim, or simply because she is female. “Hishamuddin should look in the mirror to check if he himself is spotless and clean befo

BBC axes Raja Petra from 'HARDtalk'

Image
In a disappointing blow to fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin and his many fans, the HARDtalk interview with the controversial public figure was axed on the advice of BBC lawyers. HARDtalk is a no-nonsense news show that prides itself on no-holds-barred interviews with controversial news makers on global and local issues. Notable Malaysians who have made it to the show's line-up included former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his arch-nemesis, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. According to a posting on Raja Petra's website MalaysiaToday yesterday, the show's producer Bridget Osborne said that the BBC was advised by its lawyers not to proceed with the programme as it may expose the broadcaster to legal action. MalaysiaToday reported that Osborne feared that issues the interview was to touch on was deemed to be very sensitive in nature and may cast the Malaysian government in a very bad light, hence opening the unsavoury but very real possibility of a legal c

Puteri: Take stern action against Namewee

Image
Puteri Umno today urged the government to take stern action against Wee Meng Cheng better known as Namewee for producing a video clip which could cause racial tensions. Its chief Rosnah Rashid Shirlin said his latest clip was about a teacher alleged to have made seditious remarks. In a statement here, Rosnah said in the clip, Namewee among others criticised the teacher concerned besides slamming the Education Ministry. He also made vulgar gestures in the clip, she said, adding that it was high time the government took action against the youth from Muar. Namewee is noted for posting controversial video clips on YouTube . - Bernama source: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/141326 seals: will this be another case like "arrest the person who talk about it, let free the person who did it"? If at all he were to be charged, then the teacher who did it must get 10x more then this man !!!!!

On Death's Trail, a Detective Larger Than Life

BANGKOK - THE mild-mannered bank manager poked his head into the doorway, then quickly pulled it back. His wife was at work, and he did not want to look. He has never looked. He is afraid of corpses. If the body on the stainless steel table inside had somehow awakened for a moment, it might have jumped, too, with shock. Bending over it, with hungry fascination, was a woman whose head was covered with dark red spikes, whose lips were the color of dried blood, whose gloved fingernails, as she prepared to slice the body open, were encrusted with spangles. Or perhaps the body would have said, as a dying accident victim once did, "Oh, hello, Dr. Death." Once someone has seen Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand, 47, the country's most famous pathologist, on television or on the cover of one of her best-selling books, it is impossible to forget her. She may be the strangest looking woman in Thailand.

Another 'racist' school head in Kedah

Image
Barely a week after a secondary school principal in Johor was accused of hurling racial slurs at non-Malays, another is being denounced for having uttered similar derogatory remarks - this time in Kedah. Several Chinese newspapers today gave prominence to reports of a Sungai Petani secondary school principal accusing non-Muslim students of "disrespecting" the fasting month of Ramadan. According to the report the school cafeteria had closed for the fasting month and non-Muslim students were left to their own devices to find food. But the sight of a group of them having breakfast at the canteen - a common area - had apparently raised the principal's ire. Later, at the school assembly, the principal was alleged to have said that the Chinese students - comprising 10 percent of the student population of 780 - had been disrespectful and that "they should go back to China". It was claimed that when the assembly was over, another teacher approached the Chi

The Candy With The Little Hole

This should make you smile. You have to love little kids. The children began to identify the Candy flavours by their colour: Red.....................Cherry Yellow..................Lemon Green...................Lime Orange ...............Orange Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers. None of the children could identify the taste. The teacher said, 'I will give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.' One little girl looked up in horror, spat her lifesaver out and yelled, 'Oh my God! They're arse-holes! The teacher had to leave the room!

Comments at the Racist Guru Besar's School Website

kenkarta : jijiknya pengetua ini beginikah seorang Pengetua didik anak muridnya?Ceteknya pemikiran beliau dan ini dalam pelancaran bulan kemerdekaan. Langsung tak layak jadi guru biasa apatah lagi seorang Pengetua. Perlu diambil tindakan berat kerana menjejaskan keharmonian kaum di Malysia. Tindakan disiplin dan undang-undang dibawah ISA!!! Ketam : Mr bOdoh punya pengetua sekolah ini kurang ajar patut ditahan bawa ISA jem : hapuskan perkauman kepada pengetua STARP saya sebagai seorang warganegara Malaysia yang berbangsa melayu & beragama islam merasa malu dan kesal dengan kenyataan dan pendirian yang dilontarkan oleh pengetua kanan STARP seperti yang dipaparkan dalam portal Malaysia Today baru-baru ini , status perbezaan agama, bangsa dan pegangan sepatutnya membuatkan kita belajar lebih memahami dan menghormati pada budaya mereka. dilahirkan sebagai melayu dan beragama islam bukan bermakna anda berkedudukan lebih tinggi dan istimewa dari agama dan bangsa lain. p/

'Have you ever jumped off a building?'

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) prosecutor Abdul Razak Musa left lawyers and the public gallery alternately bemused and frustrated as he cross-examined a Thai forensics expert at the Teoh Beng Hock inquest today. At the same time, Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand stood her ground despite his incessant attacks on her expertise, observations and conclusions on the death of the DAP political aide in July last year. Her unequivocal responses quickly prompted legal department head Abdul Razak to ask if she had come to “to attack the MACC". Pornthip calmly said: "I am here to defend the rights of the dead. Not for the Selangor government or anyone." The forensic expert received so many rounds of applause from those in the public gallery for her comebacks, that an announcement had to be made for those present to maintain decorum. Pornthip was cross-examined after she told coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas she found no evidence to suggest suicide by Teoh.
