Front-paged in today's editions of The Sun and The China Press are the accidental Malaysian heros on board the Rachel Corrie and their joys of having safely arrived home. Indeed touching.
Last night though, I chanced upon this video clip :-

Now, how come we the ordinary mortals are always given different pictures and newsy write-ups of the same event from the mainstream media?
All I want is factual and objective reporting from our journalists and reporters alike ... the truth please ! Or is it such a rare commodity nowadays?

Wednesday, June 2, 2010
I have not put forth my thoughts over the last few months. I felt and am still feeling lethargic and, hate to admit, downright discouraged. Consequently, the no-write mood!
Now I cannot hold back anymore: I am peeved and at the same time flustered! I want to and do hereby let off steam.
Since after CNY2010, I read nothing but adverse news about the discomforting states of our national economy and our educational (mis?)achievements.
We have forecasted a potential bankruptcy of the economy. Yet our leaders collectively are not swayed by any sense of urgency. Most still pandered around daily as if the economic dark clouds are but the figments of a select few's imaginations. A very Malaysian characteristic here indeed - the denial syndrome!
Hitherto, we read about what and why our Minister of Education said we would do in order to improve the quality of our educational achievement. Yet, neither he nor his Ministry has defined the required and specific mechanism with which we could in fact attain the desired improvements. I hate it again. Here is indeed another Malaysian Characteristic - loud rhetorics!!
I am so frightened by the prospects of a soon to screw-up national economy made worst by an impending jaundiced educational slant!
OMG!!!
