Say What You Want
You realize of course that my previous post is a result of pure unfocused rage.
News Straits Times has come under fire for having the audacity to run a syndicated comic strip (Non-sequitor) that featured a sidewalk artist sitting under a sign saying 'Caricatures of Mohammad while you wait'. The paper has been asked to produce a show-cause letter and if it doesn't convince parliament that it acted within good reason, the paper will be shut down. And former Prime Minister Dr. M is coming back like a bad smell that won't go away, saying that the editor of NST should be 'suspended for 2 or 3 months', because the actions of the paper clearly showed insensitivity towards Muslims.
The words just won't come to me today.
UPDATE: NST is off the hook. Good ol' Jeff Ooi does it betta than me:
