Who are they protecting?

I really don't get it. An 8-year-old boy gets his foot caught in an escalator at a shopping mall and Bernama covers the story here and of course The NST and The Star pick up on the story. But all news sources refuse to mention the name of the shopping mall. Really it can only be One Utama or Centrepoint (No known website) because they said it was in Bandar Utama. Why do these stellar Malaysian journalists do this? Are they afraid that if they mention the shopping mall they will lose advertising business? Perhaps lawyers for the shopping mall have already preempted the news? Why the reluctance to report the news EXACTLY as it happened? Newspaper reporters and editors are so wimpy in Malaysia.

KL wins... New shirt sponsor

Just days after I thrashed him on this blog, the KL Dragons coach has posted a victory on the road against Brunei, the same squad that decimated the Malaysians last Wednesday. So KL sits 1-1. Oh, and it looks like we got a new sponsor for the kit.

Malaysia mix


Take a closer look at what is being offered under the "top apps" section of the itunes iphone application store (MALAYSIA). We have quite a mix of interests in this wonderful country.

Fire the coach... The REAL coach misses from 3/4 court



Went to see the KL Dragons get haymakered by the Brunei Barracuda... Barracudas?... Barracuda... last night at MABA stadium in KL. This was the first round of the ABL - the ASEAN Basketball League. The KL coach Goh Cheng Huat lost this one from the opening tip. The American imports looked sluggish and tired... get used to the heat boys. And eat more chili. Next up is Thailand on October 31st. Another Halloween horror? Fire the coach, damn it.
At halftime, Glenn almost represents with a 3/4 attempt for RM14,000. It was short but the boys are busy practicing at the home court. Mac underhanded one in on his first try, no joke.

Quote of the day

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
