No, it's not a new branded oil that I picked. Coming out a Winner.
It's was BIAS for a Seremban-ite. A-Lass! Besides Anak Merdeka and Desiderata, Furong also now boasts A (-nother) Millionaire -- SUKI!I am thinking of carving her name across the Lake Gardens in a Au banner...Do I need a billboard permit? I'll give a call to Nades in a second; No, in 24.
She's -- and I don't mean Nades! -- no Japanese, like Honda or Suzuki. She's LOW SOOK WEE.
From page N27, The Star, bright and shiny Sept 23, 200s'x:
It's the "B" in BPP that spells BIAS that motivated to send one Vote by SMS, costing a significant 50sen "in suki" to 32728 that could have added up to make a difference.
Seremban could have been the Peyton Placeof Malaysia in the 1970s, but not in mod 2000s because though the town be small, I don't even know her. Suki I mean. No, she's not mean. It's mine. I know AM but I haven't met her eeether, or Ayether. Rather, mayhaps she hasn't picked up the bravado for the encounter. Hence my counter at Desi's Place picked up one less visitor!:(
NB: Had I removed the brackets frpm "A (-nother) Millionaire" above, AM and Desi would have retired long ago -- and not blogging and wasting thy youth away!:):) Or maybe I under-estimated AM's worth in dollars & senSE?I'll confront her with this q when, and if, I meet up with this *Musk.
Suki wins One in a Million
KUALA LUMPUR: Form Five student Low Sook Wee, popularly known as Suki, won 8TV’s biggest talent-search reality show, One in a Million (OIAM), last night.
She beat two other finalists – Muhammad Alif Mohd Satar and Ahmad Faizal Mohd Tahir – and clinched the RM1mil prize consisting of cash and a recording contract, that includes collaboration with top producers and artistes, and a marketing campaign.
Met right after the show, Suki said:
“I’m happy and I thank my fans for voting and believing in me. Now that the contest is over, I plan to focus on my studies.
“I will discuss my future plans with my parents and 8TV when I complete my studies,” said Suki, who won the hearts of viewers with Audi Mok’s original composition Berdiri and pop duo M2M’s Everything.
OIAM, which was first aired on May 26, is different from other talent-search shows as it is open to both amateurs and recording artistes.
Among the artistes who participated in the show was Dayang Nurfaizah, who was voted out in the final elimination round last week.
The contest saw the finalists singing English and Bahasa Malaysia songs.
OIAM is the first local talent-search reality programme that allows viewers to vote for or against their favourite and least likeable contestants.
More than 5,000 hopefuls auditioned for the reality show with hopes of winning the one million prize.
8TV’s Quickie presenter Marion Caunter and Awal Awal Ashaari hosted the show.
PPS: She's also a smart and level-headed teenager ~~ "“Im happy and I thank my fans for voting and believing in me. Now that the contest is over, I plan to focus on my studies.

Now, the first 'P' from BPP; okay, the second "P" also: ~~~
PREJUDICE.
(mis)-PERCEPTION
Don’t get worked up over Lee’s statement
IPOH: Malaysians should remain united and not fall into the trap of getting worked up over a recent statement by former Singapore prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said Malaysia knew what it was doing and would not allow those remarks to create unnecessary disharmony and suspicion.
"As a former prime minister, he should know this kind of remarks could have a negative impact on neighbouring countries,” he told reporters after a briefing with Batu Gajah MCA division members in Pusing, near here, yesterday.
Lee, who is Minister Mentor for the island republic, had been quoted as saying on Sept 15 that it was vital for predominantly Chinese Singapore to stand up to its bigger neighbours, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Speaking at a forum on the sidelines of the World Bank-International Monetary Fund meetings, he also said the attitude of Malaysia and Indonesia towards Singapore had been shaped by the way they treated their own ethnic Chinese minorities.
Lee said Singapore’s neighbours had problems with their Chinese communities because they were successful and hardworking and “therefore, they are systematically marginalised.”
Ong said that Lee’s statement was not fair to the Malaysian Government and to Malaysians of all races.
In Kuala Lumpur, MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said Lee should “mind his own business” as Malaysians knew how to live in harmony and had done so for a long time.
“This proves that the Malaysian formula works in producing a strong rakyat Malaysia who can compete at the international level,” he said.
DESIDERATA:
Please note the highlighted points (THUS BOLDED by Desi): My EsteemedReaders are invited to see through the mindsets of the Protagonists in the latest Mal-Sin spat as reported in the following report. Please categorise the SINS of the Players involved. Desi has his Bias, Prejudice and Perception in the case, but he's NOT telling except on one, viz:
"Lee said Singapore’s neighbours had problems with their Chinese communities because they were successful and hardworking and “therefore, they are systematically marginalised.”
It's minister Lee's PERCEPTION that (Malaysians) ...are systematically marginalised.
Both DPM Najib Tun Razak (who described Lee's statement as "naughty") and Ong Ka Ting begged to disgaree of course. I believe many Malaysians also begged to disagree with Ong, also Najib, also Lee. A TIME poll may just verify the distribution curve.
Why Time, you may ask. Why not the New Straits Times, The Star, or Singapore Straits Times. That's Desi's BIAS speaking. I deem TIME is best suited as a "neutral" party not aligned to Sin or Mal - land, and if you beg to dis-A-gree, do you think this Scribe now from milliuonaire-smallsville cares?
Now behave yourself, get rid of all Bias, Prejudice and Digest the rest of what your Leaders say or posture or regurgitate -- my final word on this. I did not urge Perception on your part because God gave each of us a unique mind, remember. Hence, it's to be expected that your perception and YL Chong's, and Najib Tun Razak's and Ong Ka Tig's, and Minister Lee, will differ. CHIAROSCURO, remember?

In an international arena, discussion of politics and governance will surely touch on sensitive matters. How can a discussion be of any good and objective, if matters of fact have to be withheld purely because some people are sensitive.
The truth of any matter lies in the heart of everyone in the know. Agreeing or disagreeing with what is said, is an individual's right, as much as the right of him who said it. The main concern here lies in how a statement is manipulated for cheap personal advantage, rather than dissecting it to discern fact from fiction.
Malaysian politicians have no balls, they cut them off once elected.
In the academic world, there's plenty of essay and thesis on the subject matter. Nothing to hide and nothing to deny. Even Raja Petra speaks it out loud. Why do they have to deny the facts? That's why the Chinese are a dead society because they are represented by those who can't carry their heads high.
Haiya, focus on studies? Mayhaps Desi could give her some English lessons?
The whole thing is a scam (which reality TV show is not, btw). First, they would already get their revenue back from SMSes. Secondly, it is NOT RM 1 million cash. Early, early already they asked you to 'invest in your recording company' and 'come out with your own album'. Such a scam by Media Prima.
Oh, btw, ALL the people get marginalised. Only those who are ArmNohPutras and those eunuch who lick the remainings of the gravy train are not.
joepsc:
what distinguishes Developed nations like Japan and Singapore from developing ones like Malaysoia and Thailand is the countries' standing in tghe international arena wrt politics, trade and commerce. I guess each country has its pluses and minuses -- I just hope my Negara's leaders concentrate on moving up the ladder in ALL fields where we lag Sin-land. First it's admission we lag others -- then will we begin to take some steps to move up ewards to be on par.
IF we live in a state of DE-NIAL (Lucia brave soul from Penang says it's living in DE (Ribber) Nile:), we will continue to fall in international rankings. Maybe dungus would want that to happen -- Beggar thy neighbour?
mave:
Therefore, more academics and thinkers must join the Political Arena.
If we remain on the sidewalk -- according to Kelly Clarkson's ? -- we woill bnever stand on out own proud feet, Tall, TOWERING, Noble Prize even?
Mave, take that bold step -- ChallengiA from Desi!:) to likes of Howsy, anak m2! And M2 has no other meaning but ref to fella furong citizen, along with suki!
howsy:
don't rob my Furing matey of her 15minutes of fame -- and other prizes worth RM1mil!
The blardy organisers and telco may work hjand-in-glove to gain millions from (suckers) TV viewers -- that's another story. I don;t really care if people who can afford IT, esp those handed on a silver polatter, part wiyth a few thousand -- small change eh?
Bye, buy?:):)
PS: Marginalisation sometimes is also in the mindset -- rent seekers, crutche-dependents -- arent their souls marginalised? That's a sadder state cf with bodily deprivations -- so, let's make the besta out of our situations come rain or shine, May or September. WE can steal be free, yes?
