Tash Aw @ MPH One Utama 1
Isn't he lovely?
Tash Aw @ MPH One Utama 2
Anyways, this morning I found a rather disturbing post written an individual by the name of Wong Jing Min.
This is what was written in her blog:

WOAH
I was surfing around and i came across malaysia's number 1 blog. It was by this website called MalaysiaTopBlogs. The reliability of it, no comment from me. Moreover, the whole blog is written in Bahasa Melayu.
Im not woahing over the fact that it is DE number one blog (i dont give a rat's ass about blogs and their number of hits)
Neither am i in awe beause of the use of language (im not racist)
It's just that, reading it was like reading my high school's '300 contoh Karangan' book.SPM again. NOOOO!!!!
Freaky.

Wong, it's clear that you DO "give a rat's ass about blogs and their number of hits", if not, you will not blog about it and bitch about it.
I can assure you that the said blog was not written in a language akin to '300 contoh Karangan'. But then again, SO WHAT if it was written in the so called 'karangan' language? Yes, you heard me, SO WHAT. If the blog is written proper in Bahasa Melayu, instead of lamenting on it, you should give credit the writer when credit is due, for he has made effords to ensure Malaysians in general undertand what he has to say (BM is afterall, one of Malaysia's official languages).
Blogs that are written in proper BM are hard to come by as it is. So please give BM blogs like his some slack.
I wonder if she feels superior over Sultanmuzaffar's blog because she writes in English?

Oh, the Wilayah Kutu reading at 67 Jalan Tempines went on smoothly. Not too many people came, though.
You can read about it at Sharon Bakar's blog. This is what she has to say about me:
"Nizam wins my prize for the most sartorially elegant performer of the day. His t-shirt had a picture of fingers held up in a victory sign (was it? or?) outlined in flashing bands of neon. It was not magic as some had thought, Nizam showed me the battery pack. (Haven't seen any piggy t-shirts for a while, which seemed to be de rigeur garb for those who wanted to project an image of being both creatif and alternatif in the Darling Muse days.)"

Kuala Lumpur with Izam 4
Kuala Lumpur with Izam 5
Kuala Lumpur with Izam 6
The audacity of some people... MUKA TAK TAHU MALU!
Okay... here's what I've gotten from Neohikayat's blog. Should I laugh or should I weep?
Kepada Yang Berkenaan,
Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia
Saya, xxxxxxx binti xxxxx, menyahut cabaran Sdr. Ruhayat dari Neohayat Press untuk 'selamatkan bangsa tercinta sebelum terlambat.'
Saya protes terhadap pelancaran buku Aweks KL yang akan diadakan di Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia pada 5 Julai 2005 kerana merasa tidak wajar buku itu mendapat tempat di PNM.
Sekalipun orang mengatakan 'Don't judge the book by its cover', tidak dapat dinafikan lumrah manusia yang pasti membelek kulit lebih dulu daripada membaca isi.
Sebagai seorang wanita yang dilahirkan dan dibesarkan di KL saya berhak bersuara dan saya tidak suka pada gambaran Aweks KL yang diberikan pada kulit buku itu.
Dalam berjuta wanita KL, ramai yang masih menjaga adap kesopanan wanita timur(tidak semestinya melayu), apa lagi kalau yang beragama Islam Hadhari, yang mendedah tubuh atau merendahkan martabat sendiri itu hanya minoriti. Kenapa yang minoriti itu yang dipilih sebagai simbol mewakili Aweks KL??? Dalam menjaga martabat bahasa dan budaya, bukan saja isi tetapi kulit buku juga memainkan peranan. Terus terang, apakah yang terlintas di fikiran apabila melihat kulit buku itu ??? Jadi wajar kah Aweks KL mendapat tempat di perpustakaan tersohor seperti Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia.???
Saya berharap agar Pihak Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia mengambil tindakan yang sewajarnya.
Sekian. Terima kasih."

"perpustakaan tersohor seperti Perpustakaan Negara Malaysia"
She must be kidding right? Do I have to repeat myself here that I HAVE TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO SINGAPORE and in the process spent a significant amount of money just to do so because I can't find the books I was looking for at the so called 'Perpustakaan tersohor'???
I'm also worried of the movement towards racial/religious 'purity' amongst these people. they reek of selfishness, racism and bigotry in the name of 'selamatkan bangsa tercinta sebelum terlambat.' I think, we should 'selamatkan bangsa tercinta sebelum terlambat' from the likes of them, not the other way around.
What do you think?
