  • Former Malaysia Minister: No Surprise People In ‘Taliban State’ Seek Maria Ozawa

    Former Malaysia Minister: No Surprise People In ‘Taliban State’ Seek Maria Ozawa

    PETALING JAYA: Former minister Zaid Ibrahim has mocked PAS over its efforts to suppress human urges and project an ultra-conservative front in Kelantan, saying such ‘Talibanism” has backfired on them.

    He was commenting on an article in The Star yesterday which said that data from Google showed Kelantan had the highest number of searches for Japanese porn star Maria Ozawa, over the past few days, after reports she was in Malaysia had surfaced on Sunday.

    Terengganu, another state with a strong support base for the Islamist party, ranked number two among all states.

    “It comes as no surprise that citizens in Kelantan and Terengganu would be interested in a former porn star visiting the country.

    “Kelantan and Terengganu and all these Taliban-like areas always try to suppress human urges and feelings, because suppression is core to the way they operate,” said Zaid, who is a Kelantan native and a former Kota Bharu MP (2004-2008).

    Terengganu had previously been under a PAS-led government, between 1999 and 2004, with current PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang as the menteri besar.

    Zaid, who joined DAP earlier this year, said it was only natural for people who were suppressed to find a form of release.

    “That’s the outcome when you have a Taliban culture. That’s why there is a lot of illicit sex (in these states).

    “These (suppressed people) are the kinds of people who are attracted to these porn sites and attracted to people like Maria Ozawa,” he said.

    At the other end of the scale, Google also found that Penang, Selangor and Putrajaya were the least interested in Ozawa, with data showing the least number of searches from these territories.

    Ozawa, who started her career in porn movies in 2005, has now also acted in mainstream movies across Asia. These include an Indonesian comedy “Menculik Miyabi”, horror film “Hantu Tanah Kusir” and “Nilalang”, which was made in the Philippines.

  • Would You Pay $12.80 For This Nasi Lemak?

    Would You Pay $12.80 For This Nasi Lemak?

    What? $12.80 for a plate of nasi lemak! That’s crazy!”

    That is a common response you’d get about this popular coconut rice meal, usually served with sambal.

    Chef Lee Eng Su, who worked in chic French restaurants around the world before opening The Coconut Club here, found inspiration from the Kuala Lumpur-style nasi lemak in Village Park Restaurant in Damansara.

    The place was said to be frequented by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad.

    Chef Lee found a recipe online, tweaked it, and that was the start of his success story.

    Six months after The Coconut Club’s opening late last year, queues can still be seen every day.

    I visited The Coconut Club an hour before closing on a Saturday afternoon, and there was still a queue at the door.

    Apart from the crispy chicken, Chef Lee’s sambal was also outstanding. There was a kick to it despite its sweet undertone at first taste. The chilli-sting crept up on me and lingered for a while.

    The rice was fluffy, loose and did not have too much lemak as it was meant to be enjoyed with roasted peanuts, crispy ikan bilis, fried chicken (ayam goreng berempah), fried sunny side up egg and a few slices of Thai cucumber.

    Sides are available, and I was told some were off-menu, so you just have to ask for the daily specials.

    The Coconut Club is an appealing addition to the growing hipster cafe scene in Singapore.

    The place has a kopitiam-style kopi bar, and a raised centrepiece community table in the middle that lends an undulating multi-level look to the organised hipster chaos.

    Chef Lee (below) said he “spent a bomb on renovations”, and though the place looks good, The Coconut Club is jam-packed because of the nasi lemak and the honest, frank service, and nothing else.

  • Malaysia Tidak Berhasrat Bawa Pulang Ketua Militan ISIS Asia Tenggara, Muhammad Wanndy

    Malaysia Tidak Berhasrat Bawa Pulang Ketua Militan ISIS Asia Tenggara, Muhammad Wanndy

    Malaysia tidak berhasrat untuk membawa pulang jenazah ketua militan ISIS Asia Tenggara Muhammad Wanndy Mohamed Jedi yang disahkan terbunuh di Syria.

    Demikian menurut Timbalan Perdana Menteri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

    Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata keluarga Muhammad Wanndy boleh berbuat demikian dengan perlu berbincang dan berurusan dengan pihak berkuasa di Syria.

    “Kerajaan Malaysia dimaklumkan oleh pihak risikan antarabangsa berkenaan kematian Muhammad Wanndy dalam satu serangan dron.

    “Kerajaan Malaysia tidak ada perancangan untuk membawa pulang jenazahnya. Pihak keluarga (Muhammad Wanndy) boleh berbincang dengan pihak berkuasa di sana (Syria) (untuk membawa pulang jenazah),” katanya.

    Encik Ahmad Zahid yang juga Menteri Dalam Negeri Malaysia dan kini dalam rangka lawatan kerja tiga hari di Australia bermula Ahad lalu, berkata demikian kepada wartawan Malaysia hari ini ketika ditanya tentang warga Malaysia itu yang dilaporkan terbunuh dalam satu serangan di Raqqa, Syria pada 29 April lalu.

    Ketua Polis Negara Khalid Abu Bakar mengesahkan perkara itu di laman rasmi Twitter semalam selepas membuat penelitian terhadap maklumat yang diperoleh.

    Pada 29 April lalu, berita kematian Muhammad Wanndy viral di laman sosial selepas isterinya Nor Mahmudah Ahmad, 28 tahun, memuat naik status dalam laman Facebook memaklumkan suaminya itu meninggal dunia dalam satu serangan dron.

  • Jakarta Governor Ahok Sentenced To 2 Years Jail For Blasphemy

    Jakarta Governor Ahok Sentenced To 2 Years Jail For Blasphemy

    Jakarta’s Christian governor has been sentenced to two years in jail for blasphemy, a harsher-than-expected ruling critics fear will embolden hardline Islamist forces to challenge secularism in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation.

    Tuesday’s guilty verdict for Basuki Tjahaja Purnama comes amid concern about the growing influence of Islamist groups, who organized mass rallies during a tumultuous election campaign that ended with Purnama losing his bid for another term as governor.

    President Joko Widodo was an ally of Purnama, an ethnic-Chinese Christian who is popularly known as “Ahok”, and the verdict will be a setback for a government that has sought to quell radical groups and soothe investors’ concerns that the country’s secular values were at risk.

    As thousands of supporters and opponents waited outside, the head judge of the Jakarta court, Dwiarso Budi Santiarto, said Purnama was “found to have legitimately and convincingly conducted a criminal act of blasphemy, and because of that we have imposed two years of imprisonment”.

    Purnama told the court he would appeal.

    An Apology To Brother Ridjal Noor

    Assalamualaikum wr wb.

    To Those Who Are Reading This, Especially Ridjal Noor.

    I would like to apologise to PullUpStand.com Pte Ltd, its director and owner, Mr Ridjal Noor, for allegations made based on testimonies I had received. Upon further investigation, the makers of these testimonies had since denied the allegations.

    As a fellow human being, I trusted what was told to me as truth. I truly believed what was told to me. I have since realised the company and its director, were victims of a vicious attempt at causing damage to their reputation and business. I sincerely apologise for mistakably being an indirect agent towards this heinous cause.

    I deeply apologise and will work towards making up for my mistake in believing and having trust in people who spread such allegations about this company and its director.

    Ridjal Noor, thank you for being extremely cooperative, patient and understanding as we resolve this. I am looking forward to be your partner in bringing more good to the business world. Do consider me your brother, and we’ll work closely together from now onwards.

    I seek your forgiveness for truly believing you were such a person. I deeply regret for having such thoughts of you based on such allegations made known to me.

    I am foolish to believe people who I thought I trust. I will learn from this episode.

    Let’s heal, and together, prosper.

    May Allah give us ease and strength, as we go through such struggles. Together, we stand.

    Alhamdullilah for the hikmah and light of truth.

    Thanks and Warmest Regards
    Wassalam
