Elegant Silence's First Leo-nic Roar

Was I glad to read the Star this morning -- I ordered a second Cuppa of tehtarik kurang manis to celebrate a milestone.
Finally the one termed by former DPM Tun Musa Hitam as keeping an "elegant silence" since the Dr Mahathir challenge broke a few months ago -- Mr Nice Guy -- awoke and not too loudly let out his first Leo-nic roar.

Lay off
Sipadan

'God gave
us such a
beautifukl gift.
Why are we
destroying it?'
~~ Datuk Seri Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi lashed out at Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman for going ahead with the RM4.5mil clubhouse project at Pulau Sipadan despite his objection.

“I was very angry with Musa. I told him not to build it. I said so many corals are dying and he promised that he would look into the project,” said Abdullah, who openly expressed his disappointment and frustration with Musa.


Visualise this lah ~~ DAMAGED CORAL: A photo taken on May 14 showing the damaged area caused by a barge bringing construction materials to Pulau Sipadan.
He said the corals would attract tourists and divers from around the world but they would not visit the country if the corals were destroyed.

Abdullah was referring to the construction of a clubhouse, toilets and sewage facilities that started on the island two months ago. It caused serious concern among divers when there was gradual destruction of the coral reefs.

On May 14, a barge from the construction fell onto the seabed and flattened 372.94 sq m of coral reef at the island’s drop-off point in the north.

Musa ordered construction of the project stopped but later allowed it to continue, provided environment-friendly building materials were used.

DESIDERATA:

I believe Pak Lah in the quiet of the night has been researching Raja Petra Kamarudin's ARCHIVES, as rich as the forests and shores of Sabah, which has a l;ist longer than Desi's fingers and toes you must count @malaysia-today.net, just a sample:

Has Pak Lah been goaded to finally find his bites/bytes?"Very angry..." yes, it's high time, also soon High Noon.
Or is it Gunfight at the OK CorRal?

Yesterday he advised mainstream media not to go the way of the blogs and Internet.
Today he bit at a State Chief Napoleon -- and someone is not going to continue sleeping peacefully from tonight.
And one stewpid deputy minister was today reported to enhance the stifling PPPA 1984 to rope in the Internet media as well -- to level the playing field in line with the print media like the NST, The Staraand Nanyang Siang Pau and Utusan Malaysia, ad nauseum ... oh, RTM and Bernama too.

But Dy Minister Fu ... man ... fool, hey, you might as well bar Google from touching the airspace over Malaysia Boleh eh?


Hey, mGf, Howsy, have you re-newed the Annual Licencing for SENsitrovert, Nyet? (Doing some weather forecasting for coming in 2008...?)

Meanwhile, I am leaving for the KLIA to try hitch a ride on Petronas Executive Lear jet to sneak into that London casino to say Hello to an ex_Chief Minister to see whether his luck has changed. Won enough to recoup the millions he LOST -- now Pak Lah has not told the Rakay whether the LOst Millions came from, has he? Maybe I missed the story from the Lion's mouth. My dear EsteemedReaders, update Desi...
