gwailo mania

The Kelantanese Government is very upset that Malaysian women are not doing enough to entice foreigners to set up home here. They are impressed with how easily the Thais do it. Many foreigners flock to Thailand to find a wife and we must learn from these Thai women on how they do it!

When I speak of foreigner, I dont mean the Pakistani's or Indonesians or even the Koreans, I mean the white foreigners. White ones only.

This is the logic. No foreigner = No money.

This obsession with foreigners really get to me. Our third world country thinking has not progressed since we achieved Independence. We still worship the foreigners. We kiss the ground the walk on. We pay them in USD for work we can easily obtain from locals because "gwailo better mah!" We pay them ridiculous amounts of money to give a "gwailo" flavour to our companies and universities and homegrown brands.

We proudly declare Padini as our own homegrown brand. ALL MALAYSIAN!
So the question is, where are the Malaysians in the advertisements?




The latest advertisement by Open University Malaysia- a foreigner named Ian chose to do his PHD at OUM! Speaks volumes of the standard of the university! A FOREIGNER!GWAILO! OUM must be THE place to go to now. Who can forget LICT? Its a great university because foreigners from around the world chose that University.
Let us forget about statistics and academic excellence. A foreigner went there. MUST be a great place to further our studies!

While the West celebrate the "Oriental" look, we here in Malaysia worship the look of the West.
Our very own Ling Tan is a supermodel in New York cashing in on her oriental look, but over here in Malaysia, she looks too Chinese. Or too ethnic.

.

We only like the ones who look "mixed". Too Indian, or Chinese or Malay? You're out.

So, what is so good about the westerners? Are they smarter? Are they better looking? In the case of Kelantan, are they richer?

Why do we give out mix signals? We are always proud to be a Malaysian brand but we find the necessity to sell the brand through a foreign face (or faces). All our big companies in Malaysia are headed by a team of foreigners. Because apparently, us locals are just too stupid to head a team to great heights.

I think we have to amend our favourite slogan from MALAYSIA BOLEH!

to MALAYSIA BOLEH ( sekiranya ada orang putih!)

Are we smarter now than we were before?

There is a running joke in my family that I HAVE to be the smartest among my siblings because I garnered the most A's in my lifetime. I started off in kindergarten itself where i scored 21 A's. How I got those many A's, I have no idea. Why there are so many A's to be obtained, eludes me. Maybe it was for something like good behaviour, finishing her biscuits during tea break (I was so fat when I was young, I couldnt wear the belt that came with my primary school uniform) or fallin asleep instantaneously during nap time.

What is the value of an A nowadays?

When I was in school, the smart ones aimed for 10A's. If you got 9A's it was a real big deal. If you got the full flush (as in 10A1's) it was a HUGE deal. Every state only had perhaps three to four students who will get the full flush. The examinations were hard. Passing was doable but getting an A1, was tough.

Now it seems like everyone is getting more than 10As in their exams. The record is, what, 17As?(That comes so close to beating my kindergarten record) What is the value of those As? Have the standard of the examinations gone downhill? Why is so easy to get those As? Have the younger generation now suddenly become smarter? Have the teachers become more dedicated and better at teaching the subjects? Or simply, have the examinations become much too easy?

Does the Education Department not notice that there is a SURGE of students obtaining a heap load of As? Have they investigated the reasons why its so easy to get A's nowadays? Have they included stupid subjects which are easy to score? If I remember correctly, while I was in school, there were compulsory subjects that one can take and the alternatives open to us were limited. English Literature, Accounts and Economics, Kesusasteraan dalam BM and a few others. Now I believe they have ridiculous subjects which I believe does nothing to help the student at all when she or he is in college. Seriously, even when I was in school, I thought Moral taught me nothing(now I KNOW it taught me nothing)though it helped improve my memory (much better than History).

So, the question that comes to my mind would be, why is everyone whining about not getting into universities?

Firstly, I believe how many A's you obtained in the SPM is no indication of how smart you are because most of the subjects are crap.
Secondly, with the amount of people with their truckload of A's, competition is tough.
Thirdly, the quota system applies.

I have to agree with what the Education Department says. You have to pepper your application with co-curricular activities. So what if you have 17A1s? or 15A1s? The girl with 9A's and an application which shows her to be active in both sports and other associations will definitely be more of an all rounder.

As a former athlete myself I have to say it takes more grit and determination to suceed in a sport than to be excellent academically. The disappointment you suffer from getting a B instead of an A after studying for 3 months nonstop pales in comparison to not being able to make it to the state competition after training 7 days a week for 3 months. To suceed in sports, one has to have physical AND mental strength.

So to those who didnt get into university eventhough you have SO many As and you were the Head Prefect (still academic requirement) and you were the President of the Chess Club(this is just sad) but you have no other "achievements" in sports or other activities such as Girl Guides, stop whining. You dont deserve a place in university. You were a book worm and you forgo other areas of your life which many have cultivated and worked hard at. This just teaches you to remember that in the real world, academic qualifications is not everything.

Being smart is does not buy you a free ticket to university. So, quit the whining. Its bugging me and wasting newspaper space in my favourite papers.

missing the big picture

I recently watched the interview Anderson Cooper had with Angelina Jolie. I agree with what she is doing to help the poor and the displaced (she is giving away 1/3 of her riches to the people who deserve it!) and I applaud her efforts. She has gone a step further from say, Bono, in her efforts to highlight the plight of these people, by adopting children from these countries. She is even paying her own expenses when she visits these countries. In fact she is highlighting the plight of immigrants in the US. (I was pro Aniston, now I am leaning a little to becoming pro Jolie.Oh!How lalang can I be?!)

It was highlighted in the interview that 1 out of 5 children die before they reach the age of 5. Many of them due to malnutrition as these countries are too poor or embroiled in civil wars. These children do not even have a chance to survive as they fight for their lives as soon as they are born. We take all these things in life for granted. Clean water, food, medical facilities, clothing and shelter. These people have to fight for all these things which we term "basic necessities" and which every person has a right to have.

However, perhaps we should look at the root of the problem. If these children are subjected to all these horrors and deprivation, maybe someone should educate the adults on birth control? These children did not choose to be born and it is certainly unjust to subject them to all of the pain and suffering and at such a young age. If these people were to be educated on birth control and they can control the population, then perhaps the problem can more easily be solved or at least minimised. Once the adults are able to surmount the problems, then perhaps they can think of having children. I mean, some of them have a whole litter of them! Only to have them die one by one.

I respect the rights of these people to have children. To want to have their bloodline continue, but sacrifices have to be made in order for a better life. Children do not need to be exposed to all the injustices. They do not need to suffer.

I think the same applies to the poor in Malaysia. If you do not have the money to sustain your family, please REFRAIN from having so many children! Everytime we watch TV3 highlighting the plight of the poor, we see a family of 6 or 7, 2 adults, 5 children.Why, why, WHY do you have to have SO many children? How can you sustain your family of 7 with your income of RM500 and below? Even those who have a higher income will find it difficult to sustain a family of 7! I know it sounds mean, but how do you expect people to sympathise with you and how your family has to suffer for being too poor to feed your children and yourself when you cannot exercise some self control and restrain from having so many kids?

It is a simple solution. You do not have the means to provide for your family. Have one child. When things get better and you are able to support another, then have another. Not pop them out like bunnies and then cry that you do not have enough to make ends meet. A simple use of brains will really help.

If I were the Prime Minister, I will have a law prohibiting those whose family income (of both spouses combined) are below RM1000 to have more than one child. And of course, that is why I will never get elected. In fact I might get shot and mutilated for enacting this law.

But, I think I make sense. Yes?

The Perfect Malaysia

If it all works out for Perak Mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria, in the year 2020(or earlier), all those with AIDS and Avian influenza will be cast away on an island to ensure they do not infect others.(Marina Mahathir might have to go along because she works closely with the AIDS foundation-Dr.M wont be too happy)

And all those who have insulted Islam would be dead or living in fear of being killed because his office ran a survey on how best to react to those who insult Islam and the first option on the list was "Hunt them down and kill them or wage war against them."

And there will be no such thing as Kongsi Raya as that could erode the faith of Muslims and lead to blasphemy.

Right. That in turn will be the PERFECT Malaysia.

What would Malaysia do without the Ulama Conference Working Group Chairman?

The Muslims will all spiral into blasphemy and become apostates by celebrating Valentine's Day. I guess there will include another 3 reasons to include in the "55 sebab mengapa wanita Islam akan masuk ke Neraka" (Lelaki Islam are above this list-lucky them!) As to how I stumble upon the book, that calls for another blog and all its lurid details!

And what about the Non-Muslims? I guess we will just have to celebrate CNY, Deepavali and Christmas by ourselves. I will definitely not be inviting any of my Muslim friends because I dont want to be seen to be encouraging blasphemy!(the horror!) and I think hotels and restaurants should have signs during Valentine's Day forbidding Muslims from entering and GOD FORBID celebrate the day of Love. (Actually, its debatable what Valentine's Day is all about but its about love for chrissakes)

Ok, let us all get together and form our own list of stupid things to make public!

No.1- what do we do with Mufti's and their stupid ideas?
Hunt them down and kill them!
Wage war against them!

No.2- what do we do with Mufti's and their stupid ideas...
oh wait, I already asked that.

Damn. Those stupids are infectious.

does it bring the dead back?

Abolish the death penalty?

Why?

Why should we abolish the death penalty?

Some say that there is no proof it deters others from committing crimes. Some say its akin to murder. Most of them say it doesnt bring the victim back from the dead.

I say, bullshit.

I say if you have guts to take someone else's life, you pay for it. If you are greedy enough to traffic drugs into a country with one of the strictest drug laws in the world, you pay for it.

Those who want to abolish the death penalty cry that killing the murderer does not bring the victim back. That of course is true. But lets put ourselves in the shoes of those who have had their loved ones brutally murdered. Perhaps even raped before being murdered. Or in this sick sadistic world today, raped, beaten, tortured and brutally murdered.

After having to find out your loved one is dead, you have to identify the badly mutilated body and then go through the pain of waiting for the police to find the murderer. If he/she is found, and they claim innocence, then you go through the painful wait of years and years of trial.And perhaps maybe learning during the trial (if there is one) that he/she did it because he/she is just sick in the head. So, if we abolish the death penalty, lets just lock him up in prison, whip him, and hope he rots in there for 20 years. All this while the taxpayers pay for his stay in prison. Feed and clothe him/her.

Justice is served?

What justice are we talking about here? Knowing that a murderer lies in prison and for killing someone, all they were punished with is imprisonment? Its not like they are made to do labourous work ala building the Great Wall of China, all they do is sweep the compounds of the prisons, plant flowers, perhaps learn a new skill and half the time, doing nothing in particular but stare at the four walls of prison.

All this while the people who have lost their loved ones suffer the pain of loss, of knowing they suffered before they died and also knowing that indirectly they are paying for the murderer's stay in prison.

I believe, in some cases, its true to stick with an eye for an eye.

If you kill, you hang.

Ah, justice is served.

the PM showdown



AAhhh...the glory of Malaysia. The 2nd tallest building in the world. (We are not third yet are we?) The only building in the world which was built with tons and tons of concrete instead of steel to sustain its weight. The only building in the world which has double lifts operating in the small space of the interior. The safest building in the world which allows for an escape route for the occupants through the other tower should one tower be in trouble.

The vision of our then PM Tun Dr. Mahathir.
One of many of his visions actually.


Just the other day I met Tun himself in KLCC. So being the typical star struck Malaysian that I was, I lurked around and contemplated to myself whether I should approach him for a picture. After much deliberations and a quick phone call to my mum who told me to stop being a wuss and go approach Tun, I did. And of all the people who were milling around Guardian Pharmacy, I had to ask a middle aged lady to snap a picture of me and Tun and Dr. Siti Hasmah with my hp camera. Of course she didnt know how to zoom so we looked like three tiny ants in a blur picture. It could have been Tun, it might not have been. Who can tell through the small blur picture?!
*Note to self. Avoid middle aged women who do not know how to take pics with hp camera.

SO moving along with the story, I excitedly told everyone that I met Dr. M and lucky me, I snapped a picture with him!

A friend of mine retorted: "Well, its not like everyday you get to take a picture with a scum!"

Ok, time for a pause.

Scum?

But I admire the man for all he has done for this country. He was a man of vision. He had visions of Malaysia which our current PM does not.

He brought Malaysia to the world. We are Malaysia, not the country next to Singapore.

He gave us F1. He gave us KLIA, which on the Discovery channel ad had the tagline, "Maybe one day all airports will be like this one."

Oh, his detractors will say, but he practiced cronyism, he was corrupted, power hungry, he was a dictator!

Tell me which politician is not. If our current PM does not practise cronyism, then why are there rumours that his son's company in charge of the MAS meals in which an egg which normally costs 50 sen costs RM5?(I could be wrong. I stand corrected.)

All politicians are corrupt. It is whether they have the vision and dedication to balance it out.

Pro Badawi camp says: He allowed forums to discuss religions. He allowed forums to discuss the rakyat's fundamental rights. The 9MP benefits the rakyat!

Yeah, he also said religion is a sensitive area which we shouldnt venture into. He also said the police were wrong to ask the participants of the Article 11 forum to disperse and thats all he did. He just said it was wrong. He didnt do anything else. (he terms most things as "sensitive" and then dismiss it) He also said it was the majority's policy not to support the motion of the opposition. He also modelled the 9MP according to Islamic policies.

How do we benefit? How do the Chinese benefit?Actually, how do non-Muslims benefit? How have we benefitted from the religious forums? How have we benefitted at all?

The only thing I remember ever since Badawi came to power is that electricity rates have gone up, petrol prices have gone up, the Singapore bridge has been cancelled, the so called Khidmat Negara (which I see no purpose for) has been implemented, MAS ticket prices keep soaring (national carrier yet is more expensive compared to other airlines in the world) and the police dispersing peaceful protests on fuel and electricity hikes, like it was an angry bunch of demonstrators going against the government with tears gas, a lot of kicking and punching.

I dont remember much else.

The essence of being Malaysia...

If you looked like any one of these women,


chances are, Malaysia will forgive you for not being able to speak English.

Did anyone hear Amber Chia's ad on the radio?
It went something like this..

"Thris Mothrer's Day..have thre couragre to sray "Mamar, you'rrre the besrt"

The woman cannot speak English. The woman is pretty it is understood. But WHY WHY WHY put her on radio to speak English?

Isnt it time the Malaysian government make it a point to TEACH them English( because eventhough Bahasa Malaysia is the national language, the rest of the world probably cannot understand it) BEFORE they are allowed to go speak to the world as Malaysia's representative?

And can anyone forget how utterly horrendous Ziana Zain sounded on MTV during the MTV Music Awards? She read off a card yet she sounded like she was forced to read in a foreign language. (wait, it IS foreign to her) Dont even get me started on Ella.

I cringe when I think how Amber must have sounded when she spoke to the Guess people during her stint as their spokesperson.

"Herro, I am Amber Chia. I am so harrpy to bre herrre. I am grad you chose mer to represrent Guess. I hope to dro my brest!"

And then she would have to flash the peace sign.(Chinese mah)

You'd think that with all the money that they have, they would at least go attend some english classes...

sigh.

Then again, I suppose Malaysia has no problems with language and how it reflects on us.After all, our reigning Miss Malaysia who was brought up in Australia and never stayed in Malaysia for 3/4 of her life, speaks with a foreign accent. I mean, they introduce her as Miss Malaysia and she goes up on stage and speaks with an Australian accent. Like WTF? She was not even raised here!Being born in Malaysia does not make one Malaysian.

Then again, judging from the current state of things, and what is being said in Parliament and what principles are used to implement the 9MP, being a non-Muslim, you're probably not considered a Malaysian either. Remember,our MP said:

"if you have problems with Islam and how its being implemented here, you can always get out.."

Why are we a third world country you say?

the skinny truth

I have a friend is college who was so obsessed with being skinny, she ate nothing, drank only black coffee and smoked a lot. She had "discovered" that if one were to eat roti canai and down it with coffee, the dough will expand and keep her full the whole day. I wondered whether many women in Malaysia suffer like her.

I myself have to admit the pressure to be slim is always there. We are bombarded with images everyday to tell us to slim down, to diet and how good a celebrity looks with her slimmed down physique.

But how skinny is too skinny?



Is this too skinny?
Not so for the models. They still get hired. They are still sent down the runway with their designerwear.

Recently it was reported that an association in Brazil has decided to stop using models who are too skinny and concentrate on those who are healthy looking in order to send out the message that thin is well, not in.

But will that materialise?

I am afraid it will never happen. What is worrying is that every Malaysian probably knows at least ONE person in their circle of friends or acquiantance who is suffering from being obsessed with their weight.

I didnt know how to help my friend.Of course I can draw the line between being fit and healthy and thin and sickly. But how do you tell a person to identify the problem when they refuse to see it?
I am no longer in contact with that friend now. But I hope she no longer suffers from this obsession.

I really hope that I will not wake up one day and realise that everybody aspires to be like this:





Its scary. And I hope I never get infected.

the unexplainable

I was just looking through the Malaysian Female and Marie Claire mags the other day in MyNews.com. I tend to do that. I actually stand at the magazine shop with no intention of buying anything and browse through all the magazines there.Am I being a cheapo?I guess I am. I mean, why buy when you can read it for free?Thats the Malaysian in me talking there...

Anyways, what I dont understand from these magazines are all the items they feature in them. Shoes that costs RM5K, bags that go up to about RM10K, clothes around the same price tag.
Firstly, do the women who buy these magazines actually buy these items? What does the average woman in Malaysia earn? (Paula Malai Ali and her "We have loose change to get one of them Jimmy Choos" on Oprah was not only a misrepresentation but pure BS.LIke HELLO?She's not even Malaysian?)

Would it be too hard for the magazines to say feature things that we can actually go out and buy?Without having to say, rob a bank on the way just to be able to afford it?

And what about the women they feature in it? With their fashion advice which is always the same- "you dont need expensive clothes to look good. You must be confident!If you are confident, you will be beautiful!" And then you turn to the next page and they show you what is in their wardrobe- their Chanel shoes, LV bags, Gucci glasses.AND they expect us to go HELL YEAH!We dont need those expensive stuff to look good!And then we rush out to the nearest FOS and buy all the clothes there?

Why dont they feature the average Malaysian who earns RM2-3K a month? Those I-have-too-much-money celebrities and models featured in the magazines are getting to me. DAMMIT!We know you have money and stop all that crap about confidence being all we need. Cos you're already beautiful and rich.
Bitches.

What I find most amusing is this. Marie Claire has a lot of feature articles. About the poor and the abused. The tribes we have forgotten somewhere in the jungle. The women who have been smuggled in to the country for prostitution. AND on the next page, you have...drum roll please..LUXURY ITEMS! Things that cost thousands and thousands of RM. Ok, does anyone else see how ridiculous it is?

Hey, has anyone thought maybe, the celebrities that are featured in the magazines would like to give up some of their luxury and donate it to the poor? How come I dont see articles about these celebrities with their expensive things giving money to these charities?

Hey Marie Claire, maybe you could get them to donate their expensive clothes to the poor? Maybe if they spend a fraction less from their monthly shopping, they could give to those who need it? How about it?
Maybe you should just format ur magazine so that it will make sense.

Thursday, April 13, 2006

I read in the newspaper today about the HSBC "BE A MILLIONAIRE" contest. According to the article, 30% of Malaysians actually said that they will give away half if not more of that 1 million if they were to own it. It got me thinking.
Firstly, I think most of them are liars. Well, if they are not liars, they are what I call the "half-truthers". GIVE away the 1 million? or RM500K?To the poor or the less fortunate? Before I go any further, spare me a minute. I need to throw my head back and laugh out real loud.

These so called people remind me of the beauty pageant contestants who want world peace and a protected environment. How are they similar? Well, they are mere words. These people dont give the money away when they have it. These beauty queens dont go around doing charity when they win the title (unless they're obligated to). As far as I know, I dont remember seeing any of our Ms. Malaysia do any of the charity or donating their wins to charity. (Oh wait, I must give credit to our Ipoh lass Ms. Anabelle Kong who did donate RM15K to various schools in Ipoh. She did good.) When those won have won the money or the beauty pageants are featured in the newspapers, I dont hear them say "OH!I am donating so much and so much to this and that charity. In addition, I have also decided to help out in this and that charity!" Instead they pose in couture gowns worth thousands and thousands of dollars, or attend big galas and premieres in their expensive clothes and jewellery. As for those who win loads of money, they probably move to another country or are suddenly unheard of again.
So giving money to the poor and undepriviliged?What a load of BS.

I think its one of those "If only" syndrome. "If only I had RM 1 million, then I can donate it to charity. If only I had more money, then I can help out in that orphanage, If only I didnt have to work 50 hours a week then I can help those underprivileged kids..oh..If only!

If I had the RM1 million, this is what I will do with it.
Stash RM500K in the bank to earn interest.
Give my family RM300K.
Spend RM200K to buy a house for my family to live in.
And perhaps, start giving money to those people who come around and insist that we buy useless gadgets which costs RM10 to help the poor/underpriviliged.(These people are dogdy)

Ok, before you all think I am heartless, I do give to the poor and disabled. I might not give much but I still do. If I see a blind man selling tissues for 50 sens a packet, I give him a dollar and take only one. If I see a blind man selling calenders, I give him RM2 instead of RM1. But will I give out RM500K to them?Nope.
I need the money too.

Hey, at least I am honest.

to tudung or not to tudung,what was the question?

Unless you have been avoiding the newspapers and the TV like a plague, you would have noticed that there is a big discussion on whether the non-Muslims in the police force should wear the tudung during official functions. Many have called this "ruling" as imposing Islam upon the non-Muslims and the Muslims have said its just part and parcel of the official function and its for uniformity and it has nothing to do with religion.

Before I go further, I will have to share my personal experience of being in a residential college which did not indicate in anyway whatsoever in their prospectus and brochures that it was a fully residential-Muslim college. Anyhow, I somehow found myself in there for a year and a half and came to realise that the dress code and all other rules were governed by Islam. They didnt go that far as to make Non-Muslims wear the tudung but they did make us wear the baju kebaya or kebarung for official functions. No other national customes were allowed.

Living up to their Muslim reputation, a group of scholars (made up mostly of guys) held a big gathering in the Mosque at the college premises and demanded that a certain sponsor gave the right to their scholars to don the tudung. These scholars under this scholarship did not want to wear the tudung. After all it was easy, if you want to be under this scholarship, then you should not be wearing the tudung. If you want to, then well, you will have to take it off (if u were wearing one prior to being offered the scholarship). I mean there are MANY other scholarships for the Muslim community. You dont have to choose this particular one. I digress. So, these guys were riling up the crowd and saying that they will abandon their scholarships just to fight for the rights of these girls to wear the tudung.

Of course us Non Muslims were not allowed into this gathering but a friend of mine who was there told me the girls whose rights these guys were "fighting" for were so quiet during the whole gathering because they didnt see the fuss and they didnt even want to wear the tudung anyway! So, as the gathering progressed, more scholars realised that it was actually quite ridiculous to be fighting for the rights of someone who didnt actually care too much about it in the first place. Eventually, everyone left and the guy who ochestrated the whole thing was left well, pretty much deflated that no one took up his "challenge" to abandon their scholarships to fight for their fellow Muslim's right to wear the tudung.

What is the point of this story?

Well the point is this. The Star newspaper carried a story of three non Muslims in the police force who said they had no problems whatsoever with wearing the tudung. "Its part of being in the police force. After all, its only for official functions."
So why are all the politicians fighting over it?Why are Non Muslims arguing over whether its right or wrong?
Why are we fighting someone else's battle? When they dont even have a problem with it in the first place?

Arent there more important things to discuss about in Parliament? Or is everyone in there busy checking the dictionary for derogatory names to call each other?

what is the point?


So, the Malaysian government or the Islamic branch of the Malaysian government has decided that Muslims cannot take part in Miss Malaysia pageants or any other pageants for the matter. What is the rationale behind this policy? That it is unIslamic or against the Quran to parade in your swimsuit for all to see and judge. After all, the religion promotes covering of aurat.

So, here is the question: Why then was the malay girl from RTM2 allowed to pose on the front cover of FHM in an almost see through lingerie?I mean that girl is not particularly flat chested. She was "busting out" of the lingerie and man, were there provocative poses further in the mag. How is this permissible under the Islamic law? Wouldnt this constitute being unIslamic? Isnt the Miss Malaysia pageants WAY classier than the magazine shot?I have also seen many celebrities in their plunging neckline in front of entertainment mags and having their undergarments showing from underneath their badly fitted clothes.

Pageants organisers nowadays have begun to allow the participants to tie a scarf around their waist during the swimsuit competition round. It doesnt completely cover everything but hey, it helps. I mean we can survey the streets around town and we see more Muslim women dressed in MUCH less than a swimsuit.

So, here's calling out to the government of Malaysia, let the Muslim women take part in the Ms.Malaysia pageant!There are many smart, attractive Muslim women out there who can represent Malaysia much better that the current Chinese ones that we have.Has anyone seen our recent winners?I do not mean to be catty, but I believe we can do MUCH better! Do not limit our pool of "talent" in the Ms. Malaysia pageant.

Ok. this might backfire. But something has to be said. After all, the bitch has run loose.
