[852] Of Earthly Strip: Shoot and Sue

The word “shoot” is the new no-no in Malaysia (tag)!

I want to shoot Guna too! Let’s all shoot Guna! You shoot me, I shoot you and everybody shoots everybody! Shoot, shoot, shoot! Bang!

Sorry Jeff, you’re a bad influence. I’m going to shoot you too! Bang!

See P Gunasegaram says his life is threatened and other related posts at Screenshots for a clearer view.

But be advised, put your hands on your guns. You’ll never know who’s going to shoot you.

p/s – on TV3’s Buletin 1:30 just now, as crude as it may sound, I think Chua Soi Lek implied that Sarawakians are filthy and are unable to maintain cleanliness, in reference to the spread of the hand, foot and mouth. Sounds like foot-in-mouth disease, to me. Look out for Buletin Utama because TV3 is totally gonna replay that!

But Sarawakians, are you just gonna take that?

pp/s – from time to time, WorldChanging blogs on great stuff. An article on traffic congestion tax trial in Stockholm is one of them.

ppp/s – re: Chua Soi Lek and HFMD, at Bernama:

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) — The increasing number of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) cases in Sarawak is attributed to parents’ perception that it was not a life-threatening disease, and thus they had not taken the disease seriously.

Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said: “But even so, there are already 10 deaths recorded to date and 13,000 children have been infected since the endemic started (in May last year).”

The spread of the disease was generally associated with the cleanliness level practised at home and in kindergartens, which he claimed had not reached a satisfactory level, the health minister told reporters after the MCA’s Nine Point Party Platform Seminar at Wisma MCA here, Saturday.

I wish I had the audio and visual recording of his words. It sounded more sensational than this report by Bernama.
