Maharaja Lawak (Edisi Borneo Post) Part 2: The Malaysia Day Special Pullout

Oni geh wat ya suan-suan koyuh so otto bih? Hey, if anyone noticed – The Borneo Post made a special pullout commemorating Malaysia Day this year. Note that on the last page of this special pullout is a full page article about The 18 Point Agreement , and if anyone remembered; I blogged about it in July! Whoah! They really took the liberty to write about it, but for me; what was written didn’t provide anything WORTH knowing. In fact, they didn’t even list down the entire 18 Points! So picture this: Not many people know about the 18 Points and you acknowledge that in your article. However, you are not writing all 18 Points in that article but you’re stressing how important it is to know all these points. WTF???!!!   Is there anything more contradictory than that?! All they did was collect a set of opinions from people to see if they know about the agreement, and to know if it is important or not for us Sarawakians. But I bet, even before they asked the people they interviewed ...

Sarawak Football: Revolution, Rehabilitation or Devastation?

Oni wat main bol otto skia jorak ya maju bih? Just now at a coffee shop behind my office, I was having breakfast while reading today’s edition of The Borneo Post, and 3 pages from the back was an article written by Bujang Senang Tuah called Same Old Story For FAS . With due respect, Mr. Bujang Senang Tuah could have made 4 or 5 repetitive editions of that article every year because I almost think that the Sarawak football team & FAS has gone through that same cycle since 4 or 5 years ago. But unlike, Mr. Bujang Senang Tuah , I am seeing that Sarawak has gotten much better, especially with the crop of players they have now. It's true that they were up against seasoned players from the Super League and that we were playing most of the time in a state of cultural shock, but the point is we have MADE IT BACK to the Super League this upcoming season. THAT is their opportunity to become seasoned players; by playing in top flight football. Most of these players are really yo...

Maharaja Lawak (Edisi Borneo Post) part 1

Oni wat article tih skia lawak? Today I have found, what I think is one of the many funny (the word 'funny' here does not implicate a deliberate joke) articles that has ever graced the pages of the Borneo Post. In truth, this time it's on the front page. Which article am I talking about? It's this one: The aforementioned article...ignore the people in the pictures Now I am personally not a political radicalist or someone who's interested in active politics at all, but after reading this..I wonder of our own politician's are interested in politics as well. Note the following quote: “We also need to know how we must handle them (opposition) because it can become too political (in the DUN).” Hahahaha! Too political ?? What is that? And what is it even suppose to mean? This is politics we are talking about here and the place in mention is the DUN! If it's a mamak stall, yeah, you can probably say a conversation between friends can go out of hand and b...
