KL Freeze for World Earth Day

I attended one of the most wonderful events in Malaysian history: The KL Freeze for World Earth Day at Sunway Pyramid.

It was a grandeurous celebration. Malaysians of all races attended this glorious event, including me. Here are some photos:

What Malaysia needs is a sexual revolution, and i'm serious.

There has been significant shifts in social attitudes, behaviours and institutional regulations surrounding sexuality since Freud opened the door to the bedroom. Sexuality throughout the 20th century has moved closer to the centre of public debate than ever before. One hundred years ago the idea of sexual politics would have been unthinkable. For many in the lecture today the 1960s which unleashed the so called sexual revolution seems more a source of comic relief and tragic nostalgic recirculation than political inspiration. Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s the combination of student protests, counter culture movements and medically prescribed contraceptives ushered in a decisive break with the preceding values which prescribed confinement of women’s sexual pleasure within the suburban walls of heterosexual marriage and the regulation of man’s sexuality in the public. D.H Lawrence may have shocked an earlier generation with Lady Chatterley’s extramarital sexual independence, but it was not until the 1970s that women’s sexuality outside marriage became widely accepted.


-From the essay The Sexual Revolution of the 60s by isis Creations

Those were the words of the 1960s. In the time of Johnson's Vietnam stupidity and post-McCarthyist self-individuality, Americans & Brits looks toward a new form of enlightenment: Sex. The age of the hippie where a women can choose their man without any of the 1950's "perfectionist" criteria being shoved down their throats. If the 50's show that women choose their husband through criterias like money, looks and a happy suburban life, then in the 60's women choose choose their men through three things: Freedom, Personality and Sex.

However, here in Malaysia it's pretty much still the 50's by social terms. Girls choose their men by money and looks rather than personality. Got a nice car? You get a girlfriend. Handsome looks? Get a girlfriend. Lots of money? Get a girlfriend. Personality? Sense of humour? Good heart? Not needed.

Which is why most Malaysian girls you see are dating guys who are douchebags with long-hairs. I'm not generalising, but i'm being honest. A sexual revolution means that girls choose men by personality, freedom & sex. You don't need good looks, you don't need money, all you need is to have a good personality & be good in bed.

The hippies of the 60s may not have looks and money, but they are orgy-makers of all kinds. Most of these hippies were jocks, nerds, cheerleaders and such that were tired of the 50's conformist love model. They wanted men that could make them laugh rather than having good looks. They wanted men that could please them from the inside rather than from outside. That's sexual revolution.

And this is what Malaysia should be doing. A Malaysian sexual revolution would not just change a woman's view on men, but would also increase sexual productivity to a point Mahathir wanted by 2050. And not just that, it may reduce the chance of dumb MPs saying sexist things like 'bocor', and a sexual revolution would also give more role to for the Ministry of Women, Family & Community Development. Sure, Malaysian women are now free in terms of general feminism like equality & jobs, but in social feminist terms like sexual desires and long-term happiness, they are not free.

A school girl from a high school in Malaysia may have a boyfriend who is as gorgeous as Pete Wentz and has all the money as a result of his father who's a Datuk. But, he may be a douchebag on the inside, who has no sense of humour and no nice-guy attitude personality whatsoever. And the girl may have a crush on a guy who's nice and funny, but is too shy to like because he's not handsome and is not as rich as his current boyfriend.

We know the suffering you girls have. You girls wanted a man who's funny and nice, and decided to go for the douchebag because he has the looks and he's rich. I mean, if a girl goes for the handsome-less then other people will perceive you as a freak. I know, because i have seen dumb mistakes girls have made when i was in Cempaka. And for the lonely guys who can't get a girlfriend because he's not rich nor handsome: We know your pain. But you must know that the girl who's dating the handsome guy whom you envied may have a crush on you. Why? Because she knows that you're funny and has a nice personality, but she's too ashamed to admit that.

But that will soon change. Why? Because Malaysia will have a sexual revolution. That will be the day when girls would choose a guy for the sake of personality & sex rather than the looks & money. We will have that revolution. Don't worry guys. Your time will come.

And yes, in the issue of Islam, we know sex is a taboo. But taboos are culture and not religion. Islam does not oppose sex but they do oppose public flashing and anything pro-Wicker Man. But if you're looking for a Muslim who endorses sexual revolution through an Islamic point of view, then look no further to this lady:



And in the issue of politics, a sexual revolution may influence the next egneral elections. Sex sells, and it's time for the political parties to stop portray sex as a negative issue, and instead portray it as a positive issue. After all, who wouldn't wanna see posters like this:

CNN's Richard Quest, Drug Junkie

This shocks me.

From the Huffington Post:

The New York Times' City Room blog reports that CNN International business and travel reporter Richard Quest has been arrested on drug charges:

Mr. Quest was arrested early Friday morning after being escorted out of Central Park for violating the park curfew, a law enforcement official said Friday. The park is closed from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.


The police noticed Mr. Quest at 64th Street and West Drive at about 3:40 a.m., the official said. As he was being escorted out, he volunteered, "I have meth in my pocket," according to an official briefed on the case. The police searched him and recovered a small amount of methamphetamine in a Ziploc bag.

Not sure who Mr.Quest is? Check this video below:



Kinda shocks that my favourite reporter in CNN is a drug junkie. What's next? Jeremy Paxman arrested for prostitution? Josh Rushing arrested for owning weapons?

Even Selangor UMNO wants Pak Lah gone too!

Shocker!




THis was taken at the Selangor UMNO meeting held at the Sheraton Subang jaya, located nearby Sri KL and my house at Wangsa Baiduri. I attended the meeting, and more photos will come.

EDIT: Here are more photos of the event (some of them blurry)







PS: That's Mat Tyson in the last two photos. He gave all the cameras Cloverfield-vision. Oh, and thanks Rocky for highlighting me.

Hey guys, we're unpatriotic!

Govt study: Youngsters just ain’t patriotic
By IAN MCINTYRE

BACHOK: A recent Government study has revealed that patriotism levels among youth in the country have declined significantly and if left unchecked, could lead to serious consequences for nation building.

Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the revelation has forced the ministry to re-look its policy on how to engage youth.

The Government has admitted it has lost the support of youths and has been unable to reach out to the technology-savvy generation, he said.

“We need to adapt to changing needs and lifestyles. For starters, we need to re-instil patriotism in youths regardless of their ethnicity or religious backgrounds,'' he said during his inaugural working visit to the east coast state.

Earlier, he held dialogues with youth department officers and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) at the youth skills institute here.

Ismail said the ministry would now be “result-orientated” with a specific goal of restoring confidence among the young in the Government.

This would include the ministry setting up its own blog as well as channelling funds directly to all youth associations, including youth-based NGOs in the country.

“We have decided to reduce bureaucracy. From now on, all funding for youth NGOs and associations will come directly from the ministry.

“We would ensure the grassroots have funds to conduct activities for youths,” he said.

Character-building programmes that instil patriotism are also needed to shore up support among youths, Ismail said.

Look, we youth are NOT unpatriotic! Mr. Yaakob, you consider one of the causes being that the government has not reached out enough leads me to suspect that there is again the common misconception on these ultra-conservative part about equating loyalty to the state with loyalty to the government.

Look, we we are Malaysians, love Malaysia and we always wave our flag and represent ourselves in foreign lands. But we have the right to question what the hell the government is doing. It's not unpatriotic, it's just that we're exercising our rights as long as it's not seditious. Since when is exercising freedom considered unpatriotic? Does that mean Malaysians youths deserve to be sent to an ISA internment camp?

Oh, and please stop using the "we're doing it too because it's cool" tactic. Stop it. Okay, so maybe it's a good thing for the government to have blogs, but seriously, will the youth ever bother to read it? Will your blog be as interesting as Kenny Sia or Jeff Ooi? Look, we youths are no longer Rakan Muda/Dewan Pelajar types anymore. If you can prove to us that your blog is as hip as other blogs like Kenny Sia and such, then we wouldn't mind reading it.

However, we do have other things to do like reading KLue magazine, listening to a hitz.fm Gotcha! call, shuffling with a crew, visiting rave parties to check out the hottest DJ, lepak at Bangsar or 1 Utama, checking out the recent Douglas Lim stand up at the Actor's Studio Bangsar, and more hip things we youths do other than reading blogs. We have 1001 things we do in our free time, Mr. Yaakob. All you need to do is to read an issue of KLue magazine.

An idea for Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg's next movie

Over the past few years I've taken a lot of pot shots at Mr Seltzer and Mr Friedberg. But you know something, that's a classic case of "being a hater". Why should I begrudge their success?. Why should I be bothered by their annual "fleecing of suckers". So from now on, I want to help them. While waiting for the teacher to arrive here in the class, i have a new idea for their next movie. It's called Oscar Movie. They've stuck it to the rom-coms. They've nailed the blockbusters. They left 300 out to dry. Now it's time for them to tackle all those snooty films the Oscars tell us we should like and take those films down a peg or two. Within reason, of course. Asking the average Friedberg/Seltzer fan to process an Antonement reference or a Babel reference is asking too much. So is referencing any Oscar movie older that three years,

******************

Here is the plot. An undercover cop named Leonardo di Costigan has infiltrated the crime syndicate of corrupt oil tycoon, Daniel Day Plainview. His superior officers are Detective Charliesdad and Detective Markymark. Little do they know is that Daniel Day Plainview has his own rat in the police force named Detective Rat Damon (the voice over narration helpfully informs us that he is "that guy from Good Will Hunting").

The movie proper starts when Leonardo di Costigan gets a job and Daniel Day Plainview's corner drugstore. We are introduced to Plainview when he comes in and proceeds to drink everybody's milkshake. He takes somebody's milkshake, says "I...drink...your...milkshake", then he slurps it up and then say, "I drink it up!" Repeat this about five or six times. Then Leonardo di Costigan turns to the camera and says "we're really milking this gag". We then cut to a Tom Green lookalike in the drugstore. He is milking a cow. He turns toward's the Daniel Day Plainview character and says "Danny would you like some sausage? Danny would you like some sausage? Danny would you like some sausage?" (The twist of that joke is that the movie is spoofing Oscar movies, but we work in a Freddie Got Fingered reference. And that, Mr. Seltzer and Mr. Friedberg, is that classic comedy staple known as irony).

Plainview turns to the Tom Green clone and says "You're no son of mine. I have no idea how I met your mother". A clone of the cast of How I Met Your Mother enters the drugstore. The Neil Patrick Harris lookalike, wearing a button that says NPH on it to clearly identify him, blows Leonardo a kiss. This is a clever reference to the fact that Niel Patrick Harris is gay. Plainview turns to the Alyson Hannigan clone and asks, "weren't you in Date Movie." She responds, "this one time...in Date Movie..." Tom Green's cow leaps up and they have a Matrix style fight (a sharp reference to Kung Pow: Enter the Fist). The scene ends when Leonardo di Costigan and Daniel Day Plainview do a double take and they both ask each other "Weren't you in Gangs of New York?"

Later, Leonardo di Costigan learns that Plainview has sent out a hit man named Gayhaircut Chigger. You may want to have the narrator inform the audience that he is named that because his character has a gay haircut. It's a cerebral joke, I know, but you need to include something for everybody. Now insead of using a compressed air cattle gun, Chigger kills people by using a taser. And everytime he tasers somebody, they plead "don't tase me, bro". And as you know, this is what we refer to in the comedy business as a "running gag".

So Gayhaircut Chigger is out in the Texas wilderness trying to retrieve $2,000,000 worth of drug money stolen by Josh Wasbrandwalshinthegoonies. He runs into two gay cowboys named Jack Limpwrist and Ennis Del Gay. They love Gayhaircut Chigger's gay haircut and says a lot of gay things to him and tries to kiss him. Basically, in this ten minute scene, they act gay and they talk gay and gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. Jack Limpwrist tries to win Gayhaircut Chigger over by singing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" from Dreamgirls. Now this is a very subtle joke, so you need the narrator to explain to us that he is doing this because it's "just like Jake Gyllenhall did on Saturday Night Live". And just before Jack Limpwrist grabs Gayhaircut Chigger's butt, a six-foot rabbit appears and scares him away. Again, this is a subtle joke, so you need to give the rabbit a line of dialogue like "I am coming for you Donnie Darko".

This leaves Ennis Del Gay by hemself. But only for a moment because an Indian, a biker, a sailor and Detective Markymark in street cop uniform show up. They sing "YMCA". The song ends when we cut to a Philip Seymour Hoffman charcater dressed up like Capote and says "now this is what I call a party". It may help to have the narrator explain to your fans that he is the "gay author Truman Capote played by that fat redhead from all those Paul Thomas Anderson" movies. The narrator will then have to explain that Paul Thomas Anderson directed There Will Be Blood and that porno movie with Marky Mark". Then cut to Detective Markymark and we see that he has a huge bulge in his pants that runs the entire length of his leg. Carmen Electra shows up and blows in his ear. This gets no reaction from him. Ennis Del Gay blows him a kiss. Det Markymark's leg lifts up in the air as his penis tucked into his pants leg gets an erection.

Now Gayhaircut Chigger is despondent about being accused of being gay so he goes to get a haircut. He stops by the local barber shop which is run by a Johnny Depp lookalike named Weeny Toad. Now get this. The Weeny Toad character sings every line of dialogue. And his neighbor is a baker named Helena Bonham Timburtonswife who sings "he looks good enough to eat". Gayhaircut Chigger keeps pleading "stop singing. For the love of God, stop singing" So Weeny Toad and Helena Bonham Timburtonswife break out into rap instead and do the entire "Dick in a Box" number. Chigger flees from the Barbershop (but not before an Ice Cube clone tell him "next time, come to a real barbershop, yo") and runs into a Britney Spears lookalike making out with a Adnan Ghalib lookalike. He tases them both. Adnan says "don't tase me, bro" but Britney instead says "don't tase me, bro, y'all". Then RickRoll shows up and starts singing. He gets tased and he sings "don't tase me, bro". Then a Mel Gibson clone shows up and says "the Jews are responsible for all wars, Sugart!ts!" and after Chigger tases him, a hasidic Jew kicks him in the nards. And the hilarity doesnt stop there. Think of all the other people you can have him tase. It will be the "pit of death" sequence from Meet the Spartans times eleventy. Michael Vick (while "Who Let The Dogs Out" plays in the background), Andy Dick ("I'll put the Phil Hartman curse on you"), Michael Richards (dressed up in klansman robes), the list goes on.

We go back to Leonardo di Costigan, who is now working at Daniel Day Plainview's liquor store. First a Lindsay Lohan comes in to buy alcohol. She drinks from a bottle of Vodka as she insists "I've stopped drinking, I swear". A scrawny, nerdy kid with an obvious fake ID shows up to buy booze. His ID shows that his name is McHumpin. A Jonah Hill lookalike steps into the Liquor store and says "Are you *beep*ing this up, you *beep* *beep* *beep*". The audience will remember that Jonah Hill cursed a lot in Superbad and recognize the constant beeping as humor. So a cop comes in and it's a Seth Rogan lookalike. He is followed by a Katherine Heigl lookalike who tells him, "hey officer, you got me....Knocked Up". An Ellen Page lookalike enters, wearing a t-shirt that says "My name is Mayo" and says "My eggo is preggo, too. Honest to blog. This is one doodle that can't be undid". And everybody tells her to shut up. The Seth Rogan points out that Mayo talks like her dialogue was written by a stripper blogger named after the Spanish word for the devil. This is another one of those clever, obscure jokes. So after that, we cut to Mayo on the imdb ("I'm sooo imdb'ing that ref") showing that the screenwriter's name is Diablo Cody. The narrator will then inform us that "diablo" is Spanish for "devil". Hopefully by then, your fans will have finally processed the joke.

The big climax. We are in Plainview's mansion. He has passed out in the bowling alley in his own house. He is awaken by somebody screaming "over the line, Plainview". He looks up and sees a Jeff Bridges lookalike, a John Goodman lookalike and a John Turturro looklike". The John Goodman characters says "you're drinking on Shomer Shabbas?" The John Turturro lookalike says "don't ever mess with the Jesus". Leonardo di Costigan shows up and says "we have enough on you to lock you up forever, Plainview". Plainview says, "Oh yeah?" And out comes a George Clooney lookalike. He tells Leonardo di Costigan "my name is Michael Clayton. I am his inhouse fixer. And you have no evidence of Plainview's illegal oil deals with Syriana. So Good night and good luck". Then Det. Rat Damon shows up pointing his gun at Costigan and says "I'm really good at math". He's followed by Gayhaircut Chigger, now with an afro, tossing a coin in the air, saying "call it".

The ceiling caves in crushing Daniel Day Plainview, Michael Clayton, Gayhaircut Chigger and Rat Damon. The John Goodman clone screams out "this is what happens when you have fun with a stranger in the alps", although the line of dialogue is clearly dubbed over what he is really saying. We see that the ceiling caved in because the attic was filled with rats. One of the rats turns to the camera and says "Anyone can cook, bee-yotch!!!!"

As Leonardo di Costigan leaves the mansion, he is run over by a bus being driven by Amy Winehouse.

This is followed by twenty minutes of ending credits.

It's all yours, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Your next masterpiece. Free of charge.

You're welcome.

Hey, Tengku: How can you be so stupid?!

Tengku Faris: Non-Malays should not seek equality

©Malaysiakini (Used by permission)
by Andrew Ong

Kelantan Crown Prince Tengku Faris Petra said today that Malays had been coerced into giving non-Malays citizenship and the latter should therefore not seek equality or special treatment.

He said this during his keynote speech at a forum titled “Malay unity is the core of national unity” organised by the newly formed Barisan Bertindak Perpaduan Melayu in Kuala Lumpur today.

Speaking to a crowd of about 1,000 people, Tengku Faris said the Malay rulers would be an umbrella to foster unity among all Malaysians, based on the Federal Constitution and the Rukun Negara.

“Therefore, the rakyat must unite and never raise issues regarding Malay rights and special privileges because it is a quid pro quo in gratitude for the giving in of citizenship (beri-paksa kerakyatan) to 2.7 million non-Malays into the Tanah Melayu federation.

“Thus, it is not appropriate for these other ethnic groups to have citizenship, only (later) to seek equality and privileges,” said Tengku Faris, who read from a 11-page prepared text.

However, the crown prince stressed that in an effort to unite the Malays, non-Malays also have rights that must be protected, such as in areas of religion.

As an example, Tengku Faris said non-Malays are allowed to practice their respective religions in peace. They must however do so in accordance with the law and “not be provocative towards Islam”.

“The Malay rulers are the head of the Islamic religion and Malaysia is a Islamic country (negara Islam), not secular. We have our own formula (as a country) which is different from others,” he added, drawing thunderous applause from the crowd.

‘Dominance’

He added that the effort to instil Malay unity and defend Malay special rights does not mean that other races would be ignored.

“In fact, if Malay rights and special privileges are taken care of and is not disturbed, it would ensure national harmony. It does not just benefit the Malays but all ethnic groups,” he said.

In his speech, Tengku Raris said the 12th General Election results have shown that the Malays are being “challenged” and thus Malays unity is of the outmost priority.

“The election results have shown that the Malays are disunited and facing other ethnic groups who are more dominant politically and economically,” he said.

As the constitution provides that the Malays are the natives (penduduk asal) of Malaysia, Tengku Faris said every Malay must defend the constitution and Islam and this can only be achieved through Malay unity.

“We have to make an effort to unite. Don’t spilt up. Avoid polemics that can distance us. Ideology (and) having different interpretations does not contribute to Malay unity.

“Discussing about polemics such as Islamic state, secular state, welfare state... confuses the people... Resulting from this confusion, Malays are becoming more disillusioned,” he added.

Which history book did HRH read which states unequivocally that the Malays were coerced into granting citizenship to the non-Malays?

And where on earth in the Federal Constitution does it provide that the Malays are the penduduk asal of our beloved tanahair?

Did our royalties went to sleep & live next to Nick Griffin when they were in Oxbridge?
