Of course I always realised the errors of our certain m'sian ways but it never seemed to matter that much before. Of late though, it just seems that these faults of ours seem to become more ridiculous. so what if we watch a documentary featuring an exiled communist, it isn't going to change our ideology is it? It makes one wonder just what else have the government got to hide, first our right to watch what we want is limited, then what we say lands us a suspension... So who's the communist, an exiled leader or the current government?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-62271434617802104532007-06-08T21:58:00.000+08:002007-06-08T21:58:00.000+08:00This is intriguing.

What about Sudirman makes you think he would have done such a thing?<BR/><BR/>If Sudirman is still alive, I believe that the artist would have the lifeforce and energy not only to create music and art-forms that could reach out to the world even more, but also have to power to make Malaysia among the best in the world. <BR/><BR/>The energy which most of the artists, painters, designers, those who dare to fail: are striving and fight beyond the boundaries of discoveries and creativities despite of degeneracy and nepotism happening everywhere.<BR/><BR/>But then again, if Sudirman is still alive, he might be laughing at this blog...<BR/><BR/>I read a translation of Kamasutra written by Sir Richard Burton who also translated the story of Scheherazade ( correct spelling? ) some time ago. These books are not only about overwhelming eroticism, but they also show philosophy of life and show how both men and women should share and respect their strengths and perceptions equally.KienKiong Yeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041682787965353292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-4306973010730433262007-06-08T17:03:00.000+08:002007-06-08T17:03:00.000+08:00Ignorantia legis neminem excusat!mwahaha!Ignorantia legis neminem excusat!<BR/><BR/>mwahaha!Amir Muhammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144421497045270238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-2472464166360251302007-06-08T16:46:00.000+08:002007-06-08T16:46:00.000+08:00I papaphrased wrong....."Books have died from time...I papaphrased wrong.....<BR/><BR/>"Books have died from time...."<BR/><BR/>looking sheepishShakeel Abedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486885265935738877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403017110948354453.post-43130290292350082922007-06-08T12:53:00.000+08:002007-06-08T12:53:00.000+08:00To paraphrase:Worms have died from time to time, a...To paraphrase:<BR/><BR/>Worms have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them.

I guess such public figures who blurred out "mysogynic" terms should be heavily criticized. Even the most "powerful" president in the world who made a lot of silly mistakes making speeches dare not use sexist words. <BR/><BR/>I should check out "kamus" once I visit the bookstores.
