Malaysia is very safe. Millions of Indonesians can't be wrong.
This weekend is turning out to be a really hilarious one. So many laughs in the media that it makes the PJLA's Laugh Fest look like a wake. Personally, I am having a tough time deciding which story takes the top spot as the most ridiculously Funny of the week. You judge for yourself. The front-runners are these first two...
The Malaysian Insider headline:-
Rais denies Malaysia unsafe, says millions of Indonesians happy.
Okay la. It turns out that Rais was defending our country when Indonesian human rights activists had alleged that Malaysia is the "most unsafe" destination for their migrant workers. He even tweeted this...
"Malaysia not safe say Irene Fernandez n some Indonesian NGOs but millions are here happy n thousands still coming"
Damn funny right? Especially in the light of what's been happening lately. The abduction of the Nayati boy. The alleged police brutality during Bersih 3.0 and the rising feeling among many Malaysians that they do not feel so safe. But Rais great insights have to battle with another story for the spot of Best Funny of the Week.
Former IGP to head Bersih 3.0 independent panel
It was reported by The Malaysian Insider on Wednesday that former Inspector-General of Police, Hanif Omar had been appointed chairman of an INDEPENDENT panel to investigate allegations of police violence against journalists and other participants of last month’s Bersih 3.0 rally. Of course, it is common knowledge that this "independent" chairman of the panel had earlier disclosed that he thinks Communist elements had infiltrated Bersih 3.0 And that the Bersih 3.0 rally's aim was to topple the government. But there is more. As if in an effort to clinch the award of Niamah!!! funny man of the week title, Hanif also later said he will be fair and impartial in heading Putrajaya’s independent panel.
Damn funny, right?
And then there are some contenders bringing up the rear end of this week's race for the top Funny la.
Najib: Selangor's success by BN, not Pakatan
Our prime minister said that all the success that the Selangor state government has been so proudly trumpeting is the result of Barisan Nasional's work in the past. "How can so much success take place in the short time the state has been ruled by Pakatan. Tak boleh! We did all the work and now they take the credit pula. Tak baik." Or something to that effect la.
But if Selangor under BN was so good then why did the people vote BN out? Selangor has been ruled by BN for so many years so the people should be very happy with all the success the prime minister is talking about, right? Okay, sir. I will be waiting to hear, sooner or later, someone telling us Selangor flers to be patient and give BN a chance and that sort of stuff. Ho-hum!
Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said religion should not be made a tool to ensure the people would continue to support the leadership of a political party.
Huh???!!! An Umno vice-president and Barisan Nasional cabinet minister telling us that? Don't know about you but I am feeling great pain in my balls la.
