Mat Cendana's BLOG REVIEW
"The most authoritative blog review on the planet!"

History expert Mat Cendana (kelmarin `legal expert’) puts on his hat as a self-appointed promoter of The Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society – the same people behind the deathly-dull JMBRAS journal. Let’s learn about some Malay Literature today.

Sejarah Melayu by Tun Seri Lanang. Its English translation is The Malay Annals; as seen in these two book covers.

QUESTION TO RESEARCH: Is the picture below The Malay Anal?

HISTORIC SCENE TO PONDER (below): Hang Nuwaq (right) and Hang Chairpul. Woit! Tangan tu – apa pegang-pegang?!

malayannals-silat UPDATE Tues 9/2 11.50AM Some people can’t help going around with a “Kick Me, PLEASE!” sign on their backside (`backside’… jaga-jaga!) Like this one in MalaysiaKini: Anwar trial: Why is the West silent? 

WHY SHOULDN’T THEY?! The writer seems to think “the West” is also “member of Pakatan Rakyat”.

And here’s another gem:“The Malaysian government presently has zero credibility.How many people believe that Anwar Ibrahim had sexual intercourse with Mohd Saiful Bukhari?

Err, MANY MANY people believe? NGOK betul lah mangkuk yang tulis ni!

 

The High Court is expected to throw out the case against Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim because key witness Saiful Bukhari Azlan unthinkingly blurted this out: "I did not pass motion for 2 days".
PIX CAPTION: "Keras ini macam!"

Legal expert Mat Cendana says this is clearcut evidence that Saiful wasn't sodomised: "Kalu betol dia keno liwak, tentu jadi mudoh berhok, tak gitu ka?", the expert opined.

The report in the New Straits Times also said police took a tube of petroleum jelly at the hospital room where Saiful was warded.
Mat Cendana's Comment: "Zalim betul polis ni!...Saiful dah kata payah nak berak, apasal pi ambik jelly dia?!"

NST: Saiful said a pair of black underpants which he had worn that day was taken from his fiancee's home.

black underpants"? WHOSE underpants do they belong to? I've never known of any man wearing these. But then, the guys I know are your regular types... heroin and pil kuda users, drunkards, nombor ekor punters..this kind. Or is he saying the underpants belong to his fiancee?! Weirdo...

I'd better stop here. NST also reported this from Information, Communications and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim: Be ethical in reporting trial, Rais tells bloggers ... HEHEH!

 

Congratulations to Malay Mail editor, Ahirudin Attan: from later today, it will be Dato' Ahirudin.

Rocky had written a post about it, and I had seen the RSS much earlier. However, the title was rather vague: Istana Negara on a Monday morn .I was busy with a few things and had thought it ïs "probably about the death of Al-Marhum Sultan of Johor". As I was about to shutdown and go to sleep, I checked the RSS feed again and saw this title at Nuraina Samad's blog, which is definitely not vague: Tahniah! Datuk Rocky.

I'm so sleepy, but this can't wait until morning - not with someone who had called attention to my other, more precious two-weeks-old blog by writing a post about it in Sept 2008. Suffice to say, it was a very important event that helped to bring about positive changes to my life and that of my family through my coming to know a few people.

I went to Rocky's blog, and I knew there will be the small, insignificant people filled with resentment who will make cheap shots against Rocky. And I was right. One of them is Anonymous 6.40 pm aka Running Dog:

So you have been well rewarded as a running dog of BN. This how BN is, be preparedto be their running dog and you will be rewarded too.Only one thing, mortal awards are no good when you finally meet your maker, there you meet the truth and face the consequences.

This is a typical coward's way of doing things. Hold on, ya... I have something to tell you later, doggie... at Rocky's Bru.
