This website, which is an opinion based website is fueled in part by your active participation either by submission of your reviews/stuff or your comments in any post, reviews, section, etc where you can find the POST A COMMENT feature. I welcome your comments and feedback, positive or negative, right or wrong, long or short.

YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

 
PERSONAL FAVOURITES

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

Do check them all out!

Abu Ghraib Scandal, Malaysian Style 
Permanent link Post a Comment

Hopefully right spelling.

Heard about this one? Read about it? Seen the video? Oh yeah, Malaysia is once again famous or infamous for some totally wrong reasons. And our politician's reply? Probably quote of the year, by asking the foreigners to leave if they don't like the cruel us. Of course he said he was misquoted. Under fire, we tend to blabber a lot. Well well well, I have the video. Seen it, am totally surprised by it but not shocked. Not the first whiff of police brutality I have heard of, won't be the last I know, just surprised one could record it and save it and distribute it and everybody seems aware of that video. Probably from some handphone? Wanna see that video my friends? Email me and I'll email to you. Can't post it up, after all it's bad news for Malaysia. I must say though, have we just managed to offend the world's largest consumer pool that is China? Dare we offend them more? What about the case of that poor Chinese boy, tied, beaten and drowned in the pool in his own uncle's house with no evidence of gates tempered with and too young to have any enemies, and yet no suspect and accused (several of them) acquitted because lack of evidence without defence being called. What about some cases of Chinese nationals being harrassed and some raped? I know there are many Chinese nationals who came here to work illegally, some became mistresses, some may be bad apples and sometimes I tend to agree that we should screen such people but once they're in here, and they shouldn't be here, well throw them out but without those "exercise" like in that video.

I mean interrogation is one thing, intimidation is also another thing but humiliation is so .... human isn't it? Not the first time we do this to others, I mean we could do it to our own even. What I find surprising though is the local newspaper publishing BIG BIG that ahhh don't tarnish the police, it's just one incident, blah blah blah. I mean one bad apple is enough to put me off the basket of apples, more so if you so happened to bite into that bad apple. That will put you off apples forever, good or bad. Our police may have tarnished our image right now, but I don't think our local politicians (with such a quotable quote so suitable for collections of biggest blunder quotes ever) and our local media helped much. I think our PM did it right by immediately saying set up an investigative committee and I think it would be wise to answer questions after investigation is over, publish the report for the public to see, hold a press conference and then answer the questions. Either that or put surveillance cameras in lock ups and in police cars. Our politician definitely need an intensive course in how to answer back to the media in the line of fire. I am sure this particular one would be personally enrolled into it by our PM.

I pity our PM. Already Time Magazine is saying he's saying loads of stuff but could hardly carry them out because he is a soft man, now this. It's like our PM tries so hard to make things transparent, to build a better and more justice based image and yet things like these happen and words such as those were uttered and in the our our PM got slap left and right by our very own people. I am sure the world is laughing at us. I am not laughing but you know I pity him.

I pity our PM too. He's a good man. Very clean past record. I think he did try, but he's really is a bit too soft.

Really miss Dr.M. This guy steps on quite a lot of toes, but a least, he is tough and no one can push him over. Too bad that he's too old to run the country now.

Ya, I know. My original reply is actually longer than these 2 paragraphs. But I decided to cut it down. Don't want to post too sensitive stuff in open website where everyone can see.

OT: So, are u going to do another epi thoughts after WAB?

What else are u watching now? I don't have Astro. So, don't know what other shows are on air.

There goes the chinese saying:

"Sang but yap fu mun, Sei but yap dei yuk"

Direct translation: Never enter police station and hell.

OT: Sorry Funn, I'm still unable to post in your shoutbox. Therefore, I can only answer you here. I'll be there around 30 mins earlier.

As a rule of the thumb, if you want to get a good spot to take pic (like what I did in every Charmaine's event), expect to be at least 1 1/2 hour earlier. If you're just planning to get a glimpse, 30 mins beforehand will be sufficient enough.

Are you going tonight?

Sehseh no lar I am not going. I am actually thinking ahead about JDG's visit in case he visits. I have with me the zoom in camera and all essential items but you know until now also no news on the details.

Kidd, the next series after WAB is Twins of Brothers that series you said crappy. Not sure about the 8.30 time slot.

What other episodic thoughts to do? Very tiring lar. Moreover only 5 people at most read and comment. Not very motivated unless the series is very very bad. I think maybe for that Kong Wah-Adam Cheng series? Not sure what's it called. Huge commitment to write so much. But Kidd thanks for reading all the thoughts. You're like my most "ardent fan" I guess.

The Adam-Kwong Wa series is called "The Conqueror's Story". Awesome series, imo. Also pretty informative. Not only is the story 80% faithful to history, it also has history/literature lessons at the beginning of every episode.

Oklah, if u are tired, no need to to do epi thoughts lah. Just review enough. :)
