Federal Territory Gerakan chief Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong called on those who had asked him to resign for taking up a post in Pakatan Rakyat-led Selangor to rise above politics.

kuta beach bali

This week’s theme is self (yourself or part of you). This week I highlight my big tummy. My kid says I eat too much. It is a constant battle to keep my weight down. If I let my guard down I will balloon out to 90kg or more easily in a matter of weeks. And I feel hungry especially early in the morning. I once had high cholesterol and a heart scare.

Neil Diamond’s new album, Home Before Dark, is an intimate portrait of Neil Diamond, A portrait of every single thought that runs through Neil Diamond’s head while he just happens to have a pen handy. This album is so depressing and self-indulgent at times that it should be titled Songs to Slit Your Wrists By.

tribe

One of South America’s few remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed on the border between Brazil and Peru.

The romantic side of me wonders how life must be like for them but in a second the notion is gone. Where are the comforts we take for granted every day? The medical security net which our governments provide, basic food available upon payment, wages in exchange for an honest day’s work.

The pictures, taken from an aeroplane, show red-painted tribe members brandishing bows and arrows.

Disease is also a risk, as members of tribal groups that have been contacted in the past have died of illnesses that they have no defence against, ranging from chicken pox to the common cold.

Senseless. Insensitive. Artistes are humans and shouldn’t be idolized. I couldn’t believe Sharon Stone could actually say such an outrageous remark.

jalan oya poliklinik

I am still feeling very tired and in the market for an Indonesian maid and phoning around so far without success. Early this morning I passed the Jalan Oya Policlinic and saw some people there as early as 0640 at the gates. I asked them what they were doing and they told me they were bringing wheelchair bound patients and they wanted to be there early so the patients can go home early too.
