Utusan's Awang Selamat in an op-ed yesterday repeated his earlier leitmotif about the Malays being betrayed, how there are traitors to the country and cautioned that if any Barisan Nasional component party [i.e. MCA] hints at wanting to leave the coalition, it should just go.

The Awang Selamat column is the editorial voice of Mingguan Malaysia, the weekend edition of the Utusan newspaper considered to be Umno's mouthpiece.

In 'Apa muslihat MCA' (What tricks are MCA up to?), Awang Selamat questioned the motive behind a just concluded online poll in MCA president Ong Tee Keat's website, which had 76% of the respondents voting that his party should leave BN.

'Elizabeth Wong close-up shots and p*****e parts' — reads the headline of a blog posting yesterday.

The posting provided a link to a 'new' batch of pornographic photographs alleged to be of Selangor state assemblywoman Wong, and was published yesterday in a Malaysian blog which has a hit count of half a million-plus.

The blogger writes albeit a little ironically, “I have no need to lie here as my anonymity allows total honesty???.

Falling standards in Malaysian blogosphere — increasingly infiltrated by rowdy Johnny Come Latelys post-March 8 — hit rock bottom with the publication of these claimed close-up shots of Eli Wong.

You can hear an inkdrop.

What eloquent silence from mainstream media editors on Dr Mahathir Mohamed's damning indictment that it was they who self-censored rather than Malaysian authorities curbing Press freedom.

Tun Mahathir at the recent Bloggers Universe Malaysia (BUM 2009) gathering also alleged it was at the editors' own initiative that they slanted stories thinking to please him when he was the long-reigning premier. Again, the accused are not refuting his second charge. Their collective non-rebuttal speaks volumes.

The Chronicles of Oilwell continue...

Oilwell is a petroleum-exporting, egg-sucking planet ruled by Big Enders – folks who crack their eggs at the big end. Opposition Little Enders knock their eggs on the small end while Middlers break an eggshell in half.

Egg defines an Oilwellian’s life and whenever he fills an official document, he has to tick the affiliation box whether BN, LN, Md or dhal (vegetarian non-egg eaters).

Our story picks up again in 209 AD and contrary to popular misconception, AD stands for ‘Ada Duit’ and not anno domini. In April that year, Rose-majeeb created Orwellian history as the first androgene (born Rose, she had a gender re-assignation in mid-life to become a man – Majeeb) attaining Oilwell’s highest office.
