If what have been reported in Star Online and Malaysiakini are true, the supporters of Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the first blogger charged under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act, will be celebrating soon, although victory is still far away, if at all possible.

Just one day after MAS’s Idris Jala announced Zero-fare Campaign where 1,000,000 seats are on offer at RM0.00 for domestic travel destinations, AirAsia’s Tony Fernandes announced that he will come up with a better offer. What is better than RM0.00? Well… you know it… anything less than RM0.00 is better and that is exactly what Tony is planning to come up with in the next few days…
AirAsia has countered Malaysia Airline’s Zero Fare campaign claiming that their cheapest air ticket still costs less than the national carrier’s latest product that was launched yesterday.
The budget carrier’s chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes announced that his airline would come out with two new initiatives. They are:
> AirAsia will pay the difference to any of his passengers if they can find any MAS airfare that is lower than the cheapest offered by AirAsia.
> A sub-Zero Fare campaign.
“Just print out the confirmed booking from MAS and I will pay the difference. As for the sub-Zero Fare, which will be launched in the next few days, it will be cheaper than zero,” said Fernandes in an interview
Raja Petra Kamaruddin (RPK), a prominent blogger at Malaysia Today has been charged with sedition today at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court over an article which he wrote in his website. He has also refused to post a bail of RM5000, choosing instead to remain in custody until the hearing date fixed from Oct 6 to 10.
Malaysia Today news portal webmaster Raja Petra Kamaruddin was today charged with sedition at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court over an article which he wrote in his website.
The article allegedly implied that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife were involved in the killing of a young Mongolian woman.
Raja Petra claimed trial to the charge. He was charged under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act for publishing seditious article on April 25 on Malaysia Today.
Hearing has been fixed from Oct 6 to 10 and Raja Petra was granted a bail of RM5,000, which he refused to post, deciding instead to remain in custody until the hearing date.
If found guilty, Raja Petra could be jailed for a maximum of three years and/or face a fine of up to RM5,000.
The chargesheet also highlighted nine paragraphs of the article which was titled “Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell” as seditious.
It has been almost three months since I started my golf hobby. No… I haven’t been to the actual golf course just yet. I am still practising and learning the swings at the driving range. Just last Saturday, I went to practice my putting for the very first time at one of the nearby golf resort… and boy… now I know it is not so easy after all.
But thanks to the internet, I could quickly google for the word ‘putting video‘ and was pleasantly surprised at the amout of online help presented before my eyes. I like this particular video on putting so I am sharing it here with you… just in case you are also into golf. Enjoy!
I just finished watching TV3 news. There was a poll on whether ‘Malaysians like to spend lavishly and unnecessarily’ and the results showed that more than 60% agreed. Well, even though that is true, why should we worry because they are spending their own money.
OK, I agree to the fact that we should be prudent in spending even our own money, but I would be more worry if the government is using people’s money to spend lavishly and unnecessarily when the money can be used more effectively to help poor people. So, please help me in my survey here.
If you agree, please name just one example (so that other readers can name other examples) where the BN had wasted people’s money unnecessarily in the comment area. TQ
Unbelieveable…. that’s all I can say. If you think AirAsia is cheap for low cost travel, MAS is even cheaper. No it is not cheaper…. it is simply give-aways. MAS is offering 1 million seats at RM0.00 (local destinations only) with lots of Terms and Conditions to comply though.
You have to book between 5th-9th May 2008 and travel between 10th June 2008 and 14th December 2008 with lots of blackout dates in between. Please click here or on the image for details.
It’s interesting to see what AirAsia will come up with in the face of this latest onslaught by MAS. Low cost travel is definitely getting better in Malaysia… provided MAS does not go broke again after this give-aways.
Something to ponder: Didn’t MAS previously say domestic flights are not profitable and that its international flights are subsidizing local flights? What is then the rationale for offering 1,000,000 seats at RM0.00? Anyone care to share?
If you are a beriani rice lover and happened to be somewhere near Taman Tun Dr Ismail, you should not miss the opportunity to try this dish at Wak Chai Restaurant. I do not know the exact address but if you can find the Maybank’s Taman Tun Dr Ismail branch, you are just within walking distance less than 50 meters from Wak Chai Beriani House which is located along the row of shops just across the Maybank branch.
There are two varieties of beriani rice dish offered at Wak Chai. The normal beriani rice variety (where the rice and the meats are cooked separately) that is available during the week days except Friday is already good by any standard. However if you are there on a Friday, you will get the chance to taste the special variety… very much like ‘beriani gam’ where the chicken, beef or mutton meats are cooked and buried within the basmathi rice itself.
