And no, we am not observant which NST distorted my interview, which is a first thing we will contend we am perplexing to do. To be satisfactory to my friend, Jalil, he did tell a word for word transcripts, as we stipulated he do so. What we am observant is which most of we did not review a transcripts. You usually review a headlines -- male bites dog as well as jumped to conclusions.
NO HOLDS BARRED

Malaysians do not similar to to read. Many Malaysian PhD students we met in a UK do not review even a single book a year alternative than their textbooks. These students who came to my house for cooking were vacant which we had amassed dual bookcases of hundreds of books in a mere 3 years which we had been in a UK. we buy second-hand or used books during a single pound for dual or three, nonetheless we do buy brand new books from Amazon upon certain topics as well.
Back in a 1970s as well as 1980s, a plan which we applied was to distribute single-page A4risalah(handbills, or what a little called flyers). The summary we broach to a electorate needs to be brief as well as in indicate form, as well as better still if it is in graphics rsther than than content format.
Headlines additionally fool around a partial in removing them to review therisalah. 'Dog bites man' does not torment a readers fancy as much as 'Man bites dog'. The latter would safeguard which they review what we wish so say. Even a UK press uses such sensationalised headlines: such as 'Opposition personality puts feet in mouth'. Invariably, a antithesis personality afterwards was Michael Foot.
If we had to write about Margaret Thatcher we would title my piece 'The PM with a bi! ggest ba lls in history'. Of course, Thatcher is a woman, which means she does not lite! rally ha ve balls.
The English denunciation is complex. The preference of difference as well as in what context it is used as well as in reply to what type of question decides a true definition of a statement. When English is not your mom tongue or is not a middle of instruction, as it was in a days in a 1960s, afterwards obviously we will be grappling with a language.
One essay we wrote where we questioned either Umno would ever remodel -- as well as we pronounced 'when pigs fly' -- was literally translated byHarakahto 'bila babi terbang'. One chap called me as well as laughed during my preference of idiom. we told this chairman which it was wrongly translated. It should have been translated to 'bila kucing bertanduk! ' (when cats grow horns).
This reminds me of a story of Lord Mountbatten speaking to a Chinese village leaders in Tanjong Malim after a town was put underneath curfew due to a killing of a supervision surveyors by a CPM terrorists. Mountbatten refused to lift a curfew unless they identified who these terrorists were.
After a week, still no a single came brazen as well as Mountbatten called a Chinese village leaders for a meeting. "If we wish to be bastards afterwards we can uncover we we can be a bigger bastard," pronounced Mountbatten.
The Chinese leaders were repelled when a translator said, "The Tuan has indicted your father as well as mom of not being tied together when we were born."
But they were very amused when a translator continued, "But a Tuan admits which his father as well as mom were additionally not tied together when he was born."
General McArthur once gave a debate to a Chinese nationalist troops, which he finished with a extensively joke. The translator translated it in usually a couple of difference as well as a soldiers laughed as well as clapped.
Later, a General asked a translator how he managed to translate which very prolonged fun in usually a couple of difference as well as a translator sai! d, "I us ually told them which a General has told us a fun so can we all greatfully laugh as well as clap."
Yes, when it is too difficult to translate, usually cut to a chase. It is less trouble which way.
Amnesty International has released a press matter per Anwar Ibrahim's exculpation yesterday. What Donna Guest pronounced was fundamentally what we pronounced in my NST interview, nonetheless with a different preference of words.
In a interview, Jalil Hamid of NST (one-time withReuterswhen we first knew him) asked me about a MCLM. we explained which a MCLM is about polite liberties. we know which most Malaysians, generally Muslims, have been not nonetheless ready to accept polite liberties in cases where it is viewed as opposed to Islam. Nevertheless, when we speak about polite liberties we sometimes have to compromise upon Islamic ideology in a interest of polite liberties.
I used a example of happy relationships. Under Islam this is positively taboo. But if we wish to speak about polite liberties afterwards we contingency put in reserve eremite taboos. we added which this creates me a very bad Muslim for observant something similar to that. But if we wish to unequivocally propagate polite liberties there have been no dual ways about it. Religion has to be set in reserve if we wish to speak about polite liberties.
Then they shifted a subject to Anwar Ibrahim as well as therefore does this mean we can accept a happy Prime Minister? we replied which a issue of Anwar being happy is not critical to me. Anwar may be happy (not 'maybe gay') though which is not a mark of a bearing or otherwise of Anwar being a Prime Minister. It is either he can run a country which matters.
I afterwards stressed upon how Selangor is being run as well as pointed out a weaknesses in a state administration. If we can't even run a single state how have been a electorate going to certitude we with running a country? we referred to which we had in actuality raised this matter with Anwar bac! k in 201 0 as well as Anwar's reply was which a MB has a huge ego as well as will not attend to him.
I afterwards pointed out which Anwar had allocated himself as a economic adviser to Selangor though over a last dual years he has made some-more than 60 overseas trips for counts which have zero to do with Selangor. They have been all his personal trips. Why not usually stay home as well as run a state instead of indignant about a MB, whom he allocated anyway?
Can Malaysians accept a happy Prime Minister? we replied which most Malaysians have been not ready to accept! a happy M inister or Prime Minister similar to in a UK as well as Australia. So which poses a problem for Anwar, whom most hold is guilty of a allegations opposite him.
I stressed which what we am observant is what most people have been saying. The usually thing is no a single is rebuilt to contend so openly though do so usually in in isolation discussions or in Mamak shops.
Just for a record, most friends who have been right away indignant with me have been lamenting for a prolonged time. One Blogger even indicted Lim Guan Eng of crime as well as wanted to expose him though we convinced this Blogger not to. This same Blogger has written a little very nasty things about me.
This is a height of hypocrisy. They rant, rave, lament as well as abuse Pakatan Rakyat. But they do not wish to do so openly. And, when we do, they abuse me. Some even pronounced which they would not be choosing by casting votes Pakatan Rakyat come a subsequent election. These same people right away allege we have sole out.
I usually do not assimilate these people. They will not be choosing by casting votes Pakatan Rakyat as well as we am a a single who sole out? At least we am still cheering ABU.
Anyway, we contend my mount which either Anwar is or is not happy is of no concern to me. Whether he can run a country is. In a interest of polite liberties these primitive laws need to be abolished. Do we know which verbal sex is as ser! ious a c rime as sodomy? Even Islam does not disallow verbal sex as well as nonetheless we can go to jail for verbal sex.
Do we hold which Anwar is happy (or bisexual)? So what if we do? Am we not entitled to my ideology if we consider which there is a basis for this belief? Some people hold which Moses split a Red Sea. Others hold which Jesus died upon a cross as well as came back to life 3 days later. Then there have been those who hold which Muhammad flew up to sky upon a swift horse to meet God. You have been entitled to your ideology even if there have been a little who consider these ideology utter nonsense.
And no, we am not observant which NST distorted my interview, which is a first thing we will contend we am perplexing to do. To be satisfactory to my friend, Jalil, he did! tell a word for word transcripts, as we stipulated he do so. What we am observant is which most of we did not review a transcripts. You usually review a headlines -- male bites dog as well as jumped to conclusions.
The comments as well as a most Blog articles speak about usually a single thing. They do not speak about what we said. They usually speak about a actuality that, if we gave an speak with NST, afterwards this is evidence which we had sole out.
If we had pronounced what we pronounced in my NST speak inHarakah, afterwards most would have agreed with what we pronounced as well as would have pronounced which this is exactly a same thing as what they have been saying. They would contend we am speaking upon behalf of therakyat.But it is because it was NST is a reason everyone is upset.
Do we know which what Hasan Ali is observant is a same thing as what a Kedah MB is saying? The usually thing is Ustaz Azizan talks behind closed doors whilst Hasan's statements have been carried by a mainstream media.
If Hasan is a Trojan Horse afterwards because is a Kedah MB not additionally a Trojan horse? They have been both singing a same song. In fact, a Kedah MB has told a close! d-door m eeting which he believes Anwar is guilty. You may have lost which we have written ! about th is a little time ago.
Do we remember which article? we bet we don't. And this is because we do not review what we write. Now, if we were to contend this in NST or TV3, we will take note. So sometimes we need to do this to squeeze your courtesy even during a risk of being called a Trojan horse or traitor. What some-more can we do to a nation which never reads?
