What the Fuss? It's Not CNN Investigative Report,It's A Saudi Secret Report, Mr Anwar!
Hantu Laut
Did CNN carry out the investigation using their own resources, independent, impartial and conclusively reliable ?
Was it not that CNN only read a dossier out of a secret investigation made by the Saudi government and reported accordingly.
Read the full report here.The report made an even more shocking discovery, the funneling of funds through the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Was not Anwar linked with Yusuf Qaradawi of the Muslim Brotherhood also reported by CNN a while ago.Could the money have been funnelled through the intricate network of the Muslim Brotherhood?
Who owned the Saudi government, the people of Saudi Arabia or the Palace of Saudi Arabia?Would you take such report as gospel truth or rather take it with a pinch of salt?
So! What all the hullabaloo? Anwar screaming his head off saying it's a CNN report when it was a report by the Saudi government, literally, conducted by the royal household, which naturally placed it in a state of morbidity and doubt.
Anwar was quick to capitalise on this news from one of the most biased TV networks in the world citing a report that is as good as the paper it was written on.

Former Drug Blogger's A Bad Dose Of Herpes ?
Hantu Laut
For all intents and purposes 'Lonely Planet' is not a rating agency. They are merely suggestions and recommendations by seasoned travellers who either love or hate what they eat, drink or places they go and stay.It is a travel guide to would be travellers and most of what they recommended in their guide books and websites are of personal preferences. What the writer thinks is good may not be good enough for you. However, they do observed certain level of decency.
I have used 'Lonely Planet' quite a bit and not everything lived up to its promise. It would be foolish to take it as an authority for standard or quality.It is everything but the kitchen sink.It is you who would eventually decide whether the recommendation sits well with you or stinks to high heaven.In the case of Poh Huai Bin he has found his poison.
It has also been my policy to avoid empty restaurants particularly during lunch hours.If a restaurant can't fill up during peak period it is certainly not worth its salt. The last time I visited Jothy's must be about 8 years ago.I reserved my comments.
It's a case of one man's meat and another man's poison.
There are millions of such articles that can be found on the Internet that say bad things or good things about restaurants,hotels,airlines, countries, etc, all in varied form.
Can one be sued for writing frank opinion of what one think is bad quality.If you are stating facts and without malice I supposed it your choice to warn the public or not of such bad places.
In my opinion the case can only succeed if malice can be proven.
This former drug blogger had a brush with the law on drug-related offence.He was caught in possession of 2.85 grammes of cannabis and was fined RM2,500 and jailed 2 months.This young and intelligent guy has turned a new leaf and now blogged about anything and everything under the sun.
I was able to access the website early this morning but it seemed the site has been taken down either by the blogger himself or Google.
His blog is called 'sixthseal.com'.Poh Huai Bin is being sued by Jothy's Fish Head Curry House for defamation.
Here, is a story on his drug escapades.

More Trouble In Sabah PKR
Hantu Laut
As predicted here it could well be the shortest term for this unknown new Sabah PKR chief.
Anwar, instead of mollifying PKR members here has stirred an even bigger hornet's nest.As many as 18 out of 25 divisions is united in a move to kick out newly appointed state chief Pajudin Nordin who is regarded as proxy of Ansari Abdullah which makes little sense.
Ansari, himself, could have been appointed to the position, unless, Anwar considers him very unpopular with the grassroots and a burden to the party.
Anwar's continual blunders showed his ineptitude and lack of understanding of Sabah politics.
It won't be long before the party completely disintegrate.
This blog is not always right but seldom wrong in its political predictions.
