HONEYMOON TOURS: Evenings in Taipeh for BN MPs




{Indigenous Taiwanese}
Some anthropologists historians believe early Malaysians might
have come from Taiwan


"...Tiong King Sing, chairman of the National Front Backbenchers Club, said more than 40 lawmakers flew to Taiwan for an agricultural study tour Monday and that around 10 more will join them Tuesday. The trip will stretch through next week, but there is no confirmed date for their return.

Tiong denied the visit was timed to foil Anwar's threat. ..." - AP


Our MPs work very hard. In this Ramadhan they should be given breaks. They'll need those for the fasting.

Would you not wonder whether Pak Lah really isn't such a bad guy, after all? He could have obtained Taiwanese citizenship for them so they really don't need to return. Even if they do, their old passports will not be worth the paper they're printed on.

If you ask for my opinion, the 190 or so left could leave with those and don't have to come back. I'm sure they would be welcome in very many places. Zimbabwe would need inputs of fresh funds for their bustling economy, which many may refute to be more like busted, with inflation at some 700%.

Our inflation rate is now something like 1.75% of that making it feel like double digit. If you like 3-D, you can go see Magnum.

FUSION: Hari Ini | Today | Reason rhymed, youth in years



KRU croons Ramlee


Losing your lot in translation is easy. I'm trying to figure out what P Ramlee is saying. Some say it's this:

The stirring of my soul
Overcomes my heart
Arranged by the notes
Of rhythm and song
If it's only modest
Nevermind
Perhaps it could stir
Realise all you mortals
.
Never will they vanish
Rhythm and song
It will bloom
It will always linger
If they be seperated
The song and rhythm and song
They'll be soulless and weak
And empty


I think it's this:


It quakes and it shakes
In its path miseries unbaked
But in rythmn there's rhyme
soundless muted in mime
silence tears up no sky
But it calls, Awake! Ask why

Reason with rhyme
Will march in time
As rich in blooms
In hopes past glooms

Or rythmn Reason less rhyme
limps plundered and asunder
Leaves hopes forlorn
embittered defeated unwon


Or so, it goes! Curse me, if you like!!!
