Are There Plenty More Fish In The Sea ? 2008-03-31 20:18:39 Hantu Laut
As promised, it would be churlish of me if I don't deliver the story of my weekend fishing trip.
Sabah is blessed with rich fishing grounds and its close proximity has made it a favourite fishing spot for many fishing kakis (anglers) from as far as Singapore, Peninsula Malaysia and Hong Kong. Going by speedboat would take between forty minutes to an hour to reach the fishing grounds. Read more:Plenty

Don't Let The Despot (Mugabe) In 2008-04-04 23:01:33 Hantu Laut
I used to admire our former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad to a fault. I still do to certain extend but with some reservations to some of his recent outbursts which has kind of put me in a dilemma. Call it disappointment if you wish but I certainly do hope he tones down a little and minces his words before he says them.

Now that she comes out openly and says she actually enjoys her work as a prostitute, I wonder where are all the good Samaritans in the Malaysian government who hastily publicised their desire to help her.

Pak Lah In A Pressure Cooker 2008-04-10 00:24:31 Hantu Laut
Pressure
is mounting on Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to give up the PM's post.This time the call came from home, from 20 divisions in Johor UMNO.

Murdering The English Language 2008-04-13 01:56:09 Hantu Laut

If you see a cobra and Samy Vellu which one would you put in the cage first ? I think I would rather take my chance with the cobra and deal with Samy Vellu first. If you are bitten by the cobra at least there are serums available that can save your life. Unfortunately, there is no antidote for Samy's bite.

Everything with Pak Lah is always a little too late. Now ketuanan Melayu takes on a new meaning.
