女人太性感，男人睡不著，回教黨領袖認為是精神虐待。
吉蘭丹州務大臣拿督聶阿茲表示，大馬回教徒晚上難以入睡，也無法專心祈禱，皆因愈來愈多女性在公眾場合穿著性感，令他們的思維受到干擾。
聶阿茲在回教黨網頁上透露，他希望借機討論這項許多回教徒面對的“精神虐待”課題。
“我們經常聽聞兒童與婦女被虐待的事件，眼睛可以看得見，可是精神虐待卻是無形的。”
聶阿茲說，如今大馬的回教徒祈禱時無法集中精神，他們的睡眠也經常受干擾。

Malaysian Sports Complex in north London
Recently in an email, a friend working in an engineering firm in London wrote:
So now you have it, our brain-dead government is at its best again.
Our company is bidding for the Malaysian Sports Complex in north London. It is a £40m value project (excluding all the professional fees for engineers, architects and etc). Our fees for the job (civil & structural, mechanical & electrical, project management) will be near the £1.5m mark. UK does not have many great coaches, many of their coaches are foreigners, e.g., German coach for rowing (an event which they always get a medal in Olympics) and Australian coach for swimming. It is a completely waste of money to build a sports complex in London and send athletes here.
So now you have it, our brain-dead government is at its best again.

I DON'T understand why the non-Bumis are very uptight over the Maybank "50 per cent ruling". Personally, I am of the view that it appears fair enough.
The non-Bumis have to accept that the Malays are less privileged than the rest of the population. They have been left far behind during the reign of the Colonialists.
So it is only natural and logical, if I may say so, to allow our fellow less well-off brothers ansd sisters some level field for them to catch up with us.
We have to accept the fact that they need subsidies and givernment support to reach level. So what's the brouhaha about the Maybank ruling?

On my part, I would like to ask Maybank if it has been “fair and just” to all Malaysians. By that I mean 60 per cent or more of its loans and advances are directed at the Bumiputeras, 30 per cent at the Chinese and seven per cent at the Indians.
It’s unfair and unjust if Bumiputeras receive less than that because they make up more than 60 per cent of the population.
No, the figure should not include loans and advances to the government, its agencies and GLCs as they belong not to the Bumiputeras but to all Malaysians.

It not about selling or not selling the Malays.
I am not a racist and chauvinist as some commentators have made me out to be.
I think I am as much a Malaysian as my accusers. I was born and raised in a Malay kampung, but the traders and tradesmen were Chinese. Today their population had more than tripled.
Those days they reared pigs, chicken and ducks, and rowed tongkang. Today they own power tillers, tractors and combined harversters that they rent out the Malay farmers.
The Malays have not harmed a single Chinese. The last Chinese to be murdered was way back in the early fiftties, believed to be by the communists. During the May 13, 1969, my dad, being the local Umno head and a former Home Guard commander, organised armed protection of our Chinese neighbours.
I had many Chinese and Indian friends and I went to Malay and English schools. I work in a multi-racial environment all my life.
But I am also committed to the belief that marginalising the majority race and disenfranchising the minority is bad and is dangerous.
Let's face it, had it not been for the NEP and the continuing efforts to achieve some form of balance among the various Malaysian races, would we be where we are today?
The tycoons and the middleclass -- Chinese,Malays and Indians -- are not created in a vacuum and certainly not out of poverty of the majority.
So, it not just about the Malays, but about all Malaysians. Yesterday was the anniversary of bloody May 13. I'll remember it for as long as I live. I hope you too.
As for CIMB, I am sure Tun Razak's son (sons) will not trade the legacy of their father just for the sake of power and money. I hope.
Dankeschoen.

Yes, we were robbed again.
Richard Teo:
On the same day when it was reported that two major banks “require law firms to have a minimum of three partners of which one must be Bumiputra with a minimum 50 per cent stake in the firm before they can do any business with the banks” another report in Singapore says “Job ads in the city: No age, race.”
Any lawyer reader? what's the real situation out there?

Are you kidding me ??
马哈迪说，曾经有一位白人向大马的宗教局官员表明要皈依回教，对方却严厉质问他：“你能在清晨5时就起身晨祷吗？你能戒吃猪肉吗？结果，这位白人一气之下，跑了去新加坡皈依回教。”

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me, MALAYSIA BOLEH!! YEAH!
（吉隆坡综合讯）柔佛州亚依淡区（马华）国会议员魏家祥昨日揭露，马国多所国立大学每年花数百万令吉参与不受国际学术界认可的日内瓦国际发明展，以取得大奖，自欺欺人。
他在国会下议院参与元首施政御词辩论时说，近年来，大学都很踊跃参与上述展览和比赛，以赢得大奖，但很遗憾的，这些奖项并不属于学术奖。这种变相的“用钱换奖”，对大学而言是一种羞耻。
他说，只要花费数百欧元就可以参展，而且根据大学的参展纪录，大部分的作品都得奖，这是变相的“以金钱换取奖项”的做法。
他指出，马国大学是40多个国家中有最多作品参展的单位，占了总数约30%，可是，每一个参展作品都必须缴付参展费。譬如，去年约有680个发明作品参展，其中152个或23%是来自马国作品。
他强调，国立大学不需因为得奖而沾沾自喜，这只是“用钱往自己脸上贴金”而已。
根据魏家祥公布的资料，要在展览会领一个奖回国“光宗耀祖”，付给主办者的花费大概是1925欧元（约4000新元）。
