Lady Gaga blasts Malaysia gay lyric censorship
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Lady Gaga is urging young Malaysians to protest the censorship of lyrics in her hit song that encourage acceptance of gays.
The Associated Press reported last week that radio stations in Muslim-majority Malaysia are playing edited versions of “Born This Way” that use garble to replace the lyrics: “No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I’m on the right track, baby.”
Lady Gaga criticized the censorship during a visit Tuesday to Google company headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Lady Gaga said young Malaysians who want to hear her song in full on the radio “must do everything that you can if you want to be liberated by your society.”
Broadcasters said they were being cautious because Malaysia’s government forbids offensive content. Asian Correspondent

Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Cold
I wrote in my earlier post:
"Maybe, Anwar should look in his own backyard and see whether there are snakes in the grass that might want to do him harm. His same old story of Najib's conspiracy is now 'bangas' and not many people buying it other than Pakatan leaders and some of his supporters."
Now the picture is much clearer.The sapience of my guessing hits the bull's eye.Certainly, not Najib or Hishamuddin but snakes in the grass.Unsuspecting friends.Pepatah Melayu "Musuh didalam salimut"
How could such an intelligent man fall victim to such skullduggery to bring him down.Obviously, he has a weakness, if the authenticity of the video tape is true.This could be the beginning of the end of the taking down of Anwar Ibrahim.
Let's see the hypothesis of what could have happened.
Only unsuspecting people close to him who knows his movement and share in his fun and frolicking could have planted the stealthy video cameras.People he trusted.It was a setup by people he thought friends and again he walked into the trap.
Obviously, if one were to deduce from the statement of Rahim Thamby Chik here, it's payback time, as in the idiomatic "revenge is a dish best served cold", he waited over 20 years to get back at Anwar.I am sure Rahim and his accomplices are prepared to face the consequences of their actions if what they claimed is true that the tape is authentic.
Who was the procurer? Isn't it plausible that whoever he is must have been close to Anwar and trusted to be asked to get back the watch. Was the girl paid to lift the watch from his pocket and handed over to the conspirators to be used as evidence in the event of Anwar's denial which they have rightly anticipated? It seems the obvious.
Now, someone, or the police since they are investigating the case, should ask the wife whether she still has the Omega watch or has it gone missing or got stolen without her knowledge?That's probably would be the next scenario and the only excuse why the watch is missing.
Anwar claimed it is a scurrilous attack on him, his family and Pakatan Rakyat.
Below is a video of "God's Gift To Malaysia" Anwar Ibrahim's scurrilous attack on Najib based on a dubious statutory declaration signed by a man whom you wouldn't trust leaving your cat with.
Let us see what the Pakatan boys have to say now that the conspirators have identified themselves.The excerpt below is lifted straight from Malaysian Insider.
PKR communications director, Nik Nazmi, said that the continuous political attack against its de facto leader was getting tiresome.
“This is to show that Anwar is morally incapable and a hypocrite, although you don’t know what the pattern is, whether he is gay, a womaniser or a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
“This shows that what we are saying, made up to smear Anwar, as he is seen to be the biggest threat to Umno” he said.
He said that people were getting tired of such political ploys.
Santiago said that today was a “great day” for the opposition because there was “ample proof now that this has been doctored” and this is a propaganda tool of the “desperate Umno boys because only desperados will do something like this”.
“If you want to knock off your opponent, it is through policy debates, it’s through various development policies and so on, that you outsmart the other guy there. That’s the advantage that you bring but here you want to be a sleazeball and by doing this, you think people are going to support you. People will not because they voted for a prime minister, they vote for an opposition leader, they don’t vote for the best husbands in the world, or the best fathers in the world.
“As a voter, you vote for the candidate that you think will bring about change in the government, that will bring about progress for the people, development for the people. That’s who people vote for, not for sleazeballs,” he said.
Let me ask Mr Santiago who he thinks is the sleazeball here?Aren't leaders suppose to lead by example......by system of values and principles of conduct..... of morality.....knowing the distinction between what is right and wrong?
Would he votes for someone as prime minister who is a known blunderer, plunderer, philanderer and last but not least, a hypocrite?
One thing for sure if you want to be prime minister of this country keep your dick tightly in your pants..... you never know who is watching.
Read what other Anwar's fan club has to say:
Carcosa symbolic of Anwar’s patriotism and Najib's reliance on gutter politics: Mariam Mokhtar
Of political desperados, dingoes and demons: Martin Jalleh
Why are sex video trio not charged?: Lim Kit Siang

We Sink And Swim With Anwar Ibrahim
Have they seen the video to reach such conclusions?Have the video been examined for its authenticity?
I would have deep sympathy for Anwar Ibrahim if he was ordinary citizen.
He is not, he is a public figure and public property.
Like all bearers of public office which is a position of trust concerning the people as a whole, Anwar extracurricular activities outside the conventional bounds of propriety are no longer his private affairs, they had become public property.
Malaysian politicians seemed not able to draw a line between the two.
Every politician, civil servant or anyone holding public office must be exposed if they lead a double life.The hypocrites, or, worse the "Jekyll and Hyde" character downright detestable and dangerous have no right to hold vacancy of high office.That's why politicians are always under scrutiny and the public have the right to know if their leaders have serious character flaw.That's why you have monsters like Hitler and Stalin rising to the pinnacles of power, installed by the very people they eventually massacre.
Exposing such leaders is not seen as a crime in Western democracies, only in Pakatan's camp it is seen more immoral than the illicit sexual act itself.
Some of you may be familiar with the John Profumo scandal in Britain in 1963.The biggest sex scandal the rocked the British government to the core.The affair of its Secretary of State for War John Profumo and Christine Keeler, a call girl and mistress of an alleged Russian spy at the height of the cold war.The British government was in a dilemma that he may have compromised state secrets to the girl which she passed on to her Russian spy boyfriend.Believe it or not, Perfumo first reaction was to deny any impropriety in his relationship with her and threatened to sue for libel and slander if the allegations were repeated outside Parliament.Not only he has to resign, he also brought down Prime Minister Harold Macmillan who resigned a month later due to ill health exacerbated by the scandal.
Licentiousness, is considered a character flaw and a sickness.
What Kit Siang and Hadi Awang is saying here that it is OK for leaders to have their pants down as long as they don't get caught.If you get caught and exposed to public odium that is character assassination and against Islamic teaching. Can you imagine enjoying committing zina while 4 upstanding members of society watching over you or peeping through the keyhole.That's the only way they can fix you in the Sharia court and Hadi wanted the case to be tried according to Sharia law.
I am not saying the person in the video is Anwar Ibrahim but Pakatan leaders should have taken caution with their unquestioning acceptance of the conspiracy theory and foolish equation of the Sarawak state elections coinciding with the release of the blue movie.
It's political gewgaw.
I don't think the name Anwar Ibrahim would make any political impact in major parts of Sarawak.With or without the spurious video, PKR and PAS will have poor showing in Sarawak, only DAP has greater chance of capturing more seats this time around.
Here is something on Gordon Brown, former PM of Britain whose sister-in-law Clare Rewcastle Brown is on a crusade to bring down Taib and the Sarawak government.
Sarawak state is not about to fall to the oppositions as what Pakatan leaders seemed to convey in their version of "we sink and swim with" Anwar Ibrahim.He is the unifying factor, without him the coalition will disintegrate hence Kit Siang and Hadi Awang's grovelling.
Get down to the truth before concluding it is spurious and scurrilous.You'll never know what you will discover.
