The Challenge From Malaysia Today!

I love this one!

Raja Petra Kamarudin, true to form, has just issued a challenge to his detractors - fools of all form and fit, who seek to scare him off writing.

Now I have followed RPK's blog for some time, and I will offer that trying to SCARE the old codger off is like trying to make an elephant wear a tutu and dance to Swan Lake.

It ain't gonna happen.

And don't even think of hiring the good folks at the Bolshoi Theatre to give private tuition.

We do waste a lot of money on monumentally stupid things - the longest kebab competition, snow-skiing through the Antartic, climbing Everest, and sending fools up to space.

This time, all the money in the world and a Russian or two still wouldn't be able to pull it off.

Now, the average Malaysian trembles at the notion of the Internal Security Act, better known as the ISA.

Not RPK. In fact, he cheerfully proceeds to kick up more dirt. :)

Before he ends:

I will stop here for the meantime and allow all the above to be answered. There are of course more but suffice that the powers-that-be satisfy me with a reply to the above first before they start accusing websites and Blogs, in particular Malaysia Today, of indulging in lies, half-truths and innuendoes.

If they can rebut all the above and prove that all the above are totally false then I suggest they come for me and charge me with spreading lies, half-truths and innuendoes.

Until then, allow me to give them the middle finger and at the same time suggest that they shove it up the part of the body where the sun does not shine.

Yep, breathing threats is simply an exercise in futility when it comes to good ole RPK.

Go forth and read the post in its entirety. :)

The Internal Security Department Uses Hotmail?

I nearly died laughing.

Don't ask me how, but I happened to stumble across Blueheeler's site, which interestingly documents parliamentary stupidity of both Malaysia and Singapore.

But what AMUSED me to no end was this post which describes an email that Blueheeler received, supposedly from Singapore's Internal Security Department:

Dannythis is the ISD

Singapore’s Internal Security Department.

We want yo uto take your blog Blue Heeler off the internet or stern action will follow because of your political opinions.

take note.

This is our last warning to you.

Oh dear. :)

I don't think Singapore’s Internal Security Department would be quite so amused to be misrepresented by an idiot who can't spell or type properly.

And more importantly, one who doesn't have the presence of mind to know that Hotmail, convenient as it can be for PDA users, is NOT the preferred mode of official communication.

Blueheeler did not even bat an eyelash. His response:

If this is from the ISD, then I’m Madonna, from the ‘Like A Virgin’ days. Ooooh, I’m shivering in my fishnet stockings…!
