I read this article in The StarOnline this morning.
The article was basically about an MP Abdul Fatah using the words "Janda gatal". Randy divorcees? A crude way to put it, HORNY divorcees?
Here's an excerpt :
Rantau Panjang MP Abdul Fatah (Gatal?) Harun, under attack from women's groups from within his party (PAS) for his comments about janda gatal, is sticking to his guns.
He said he has withdrawn the word gatal in the Dewan Rakyat but did not relent on his stand that many janda have this trait. He said he would not issue a public apology as demanded by Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
He stated/accused/argued, however you interpret it, divorcees of being more "randy" than widows. My goodness. I find it hard to believe that a politician, someone who represents us would actually make such a ridiculous comment and for what reason? FROM what evidence? It's so crude and random. No, actually, knowing our politicians, it's completely believable.
Now a whole bunch of parties are after him and in the process not doing what they're suppose to be doing. Eg. Ruling the country? HELLO?!?
Now I know why we send the same people back to government everytime. It's not because they're better, but they're just the lesser of two evils. From the statement above, you can tell we probably don't have much of a choice.

Hi Helen! Finally visited your interesting site! Keep those blogs coming! By any chance, does your dad have the initials SCS? ;D
oh my..
how did you figure that out? is it that obvious? hmm.. or have i posted some pictures of my family? ahah.. well.. i wasn't so sure at first, but i thought i'd seen you before somewhere.. :) must be my dad :D
Ha ha ha... this cyberspace is getting smaller! We went to your house a few years back during CNY ~ I recall there was a freak fire incident on the dining table just before we arrived! Your dad was telling us all about it. And yes, now I remember, we did exchang greetings back then. You had your friends over at that time as well.
In all honesty, I think your Dad is a great guy to have as a boss! No regrets having him as my boss back then! So this means you have a great DAD! You're blessed! :D
oh yes.. the fire incident.. my brother scorched a bit of hair..
i remember the year, 2004. Only two years ago :)
yes, couldn't have asked for a better dad :D
I've always wondered about older generation blogging - like yours and francis'. My dad can't seem to go beyond emails and is very curious about what my siblings and I do online everytime. If only he sees this blog. :D
