Wow.. what a year so far.. and its only March!
Wow.. I have not been posting at all this year. I thought I should start today as its been a pretty exciting year so far.. From Edison Chen sex pics to the winning of five Malaysian states by the opposition parties, 2008 is looking to be pretty darn "happening".
I am still reading a lot about Malaysia's General Election 2008, and its pretty interesting I must say. Singapore Politics will never get as juicy as Malaysia's, because they are so many villians in the cabinet that everyone detest. Well, BN has already had a big slap on the face, with Penang trying to demolish the New Economic Policy that favors the rich Malays, Selangor is also said to follow the footsteps. It will be interesting to see how things start to roll out. Of course everyone will want to see changes starting to happen right away, but the new state government will need sometime to takeover and start putting out results.
I think Abdullah is a nice guy, he has a heart, but like LKY said in one interview, LKY prefers to be the leader people are afraid of, than to be a leader that everyone likes. I think that sure makes a lot of sense.
Mahathir is still as vocal as ever, and why shouldn't he be, he has built UMNO and BN to the day he left and now it seems like what he built had been flushed down the toilet. I still find him funny, this man is very sharp and sarcastic at the age of 83. His take on Information Minister, Zainuddin Maidin is hilarious, I didnt expect him to crack jokes on Zainuddin who is pretty much a moron, especially after the Aljazeera Interview. Here is what Mahathir has to say:
Interviewer: Can you comment on Zam (Zainuddin Maidin)?
Mahathir: He won or lost? Oh, he lost. Well, the way he was campaigning was really funny, telling people to look at his face and how it doesn't change. But I think that a face that doesn't change can be very boring. Sometimes you must laugh, sometimes you must cry.
He was telling everybody "Ini muka tak bertukar, tak bertukar". Who is interested in his ‘wajar’? If he was Britney Spears, then…...
