China boycotts Sharon Stone films after star blames earthquake on bad karma for Tibet



Film star Sharon Stone has set off a storm of fury across China after she suggested the deadly earthquake that killed as many as 80,000 people was bad karma for Beijing policy in Tibet.

“I’m not happy about the way that the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else,” [Sharon Stone] told reporters at Cannes. “And so I have been very concerned about how to think and what to do because I don’t like that.” She said she’s also been wondering how the United States should handle the Olympics because China is “not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who’s a good friend of mine.” When the earthquake hit, Stone wondered if it was a case of what goes around, comes around. “Then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice, that the bad things happen to you?” said the 50-year-old star.

Several Chinese cinemas have pledged not to screen her movies and the Internet has exploded in a stream of angry comments.

It's pretty ironic how she's faking her sympathy for Tibetans when a lot of Sichuan residents are Tibetans as well.

I wonder what 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina was to the USA?

人一老,头脑清醒,但不理智。

A)马哈迪说:“行动党全国主席加巴星被指挑战皇室权力的行为在我国并非是个罪行,但可交由法庭鉴定其言论是否涉及煽动成份。”

故事:霹雳州州务大臣折换霹雳州宗教局局长,霹雳州苏丹说:不行!加巴星认为霹州皇室没有权力干涉霹雳州宗教局局长的委任。
为何:1)巫统可以在1993年修改宪法废除王室的免控权。2)在登嘉楼州务大臣的委任方面,巫统也与苏丹抗衡,不愿接受苏丹所属意的人选。
所以:1巫统才是首个藐视马来王室权力的单位!?

奇怪:为何马哈迪没说要提控巫统涉及煽动成份?

B)马哈迪说:“槟城一名华裔妇女成功脱离回教的事件说,根据我国的习俗,人民一旦申请信奉伊斯兰教就无法脱教。”

奇怪:为何马哈迪没说根据我国宪法,人人都享有宗教自由?

俗语说:人一老,就会说些自相矛盾(以老买老,永远要别人听他的)的话来。也忘了(不愿记得)自己以前做过的事!

是谁纵容石油公司?

“马岛”峇眼區國會議員林冠英表示,中央政府拒絕讓人民分享國家石油公司的豐厚盈利,反允許國油每個月花費350萬令吉經營旗下的國油交響樂團及音樂廳。
他揭露,國油交響樂團及音樂廳成立10年來,至今已花了5億令吉。
他指出,交響樂團中只有5%是本地音樂家,其餘95%成員是外國音樂家,他們的月薪介於1萬6000令吉至2萬8000令吉,每年的有薪假期多達2個月。
“令人無法想像的是,指揮家的月薪更高達13萬令吉,其助理的薪水則是5萬令吉。”

我就说了,國家以经养了只会讲话,不会做工的9条肥“金猪”,现在还要养这些“好命”的“上等猪”。
当然,我也是猪。但,是一头可爱,自力更生的小懒猪!:p

Ask The Girl Next Door

Came across a funny Singa-rean's Q & A from a magazine...

Q: After 5 years of marriage and 2 lovely kids, my wife and I have become total homebodies. My wife doesn't even put on makeup anymore. How do I re-ignite the spark in our relationship?

A: It's completely understandable that in the day-to-day zoo of bills, tuition classes, and nagging aunties, our personal needs usually fall to the bottom of the priority list. I say, start off with a bang. One weekend, tell your wife that you're taking her out on the town. Present her with a gift certificate to a department store (if she doesn't already have your credit cards!) and tell her she has one hour to buy a new outfit - after which you're whisking her off to get her hair done at a nearby salon. While she's still in shock, present her with a voucher from someone she trusts, like your mother or her sister, to baby-sit for that night. Let her feel gorgeous in her new dress and 'do, and enjoy a romantic dinner out, just the two of you. To make sure this isn't a one-off event, strike a deal with one of the many relatives you're always visiting: one Saturday a month, they watch your kids for the night while you and your wife go on a date - and you return the favour the next saturday.

马岛的百万“闲”顾问“团”

马岛政府每年以超过100万支薪予3名“没有做工”的顾问,即国油顾问马哈迪、首相妇女事务的特别顾问莎丽扎与宗教顾问哈密奥斯曼。马岛政府不如把这些钱来兴建屋子予穷人更为实际。

马哈迪身为国油顾问,年薪18万,莎丽扎每年获得40万4千726,而哈密奥斯曼则领取54万9千675。

在国油已经拥有本身的顾问团;妇女事务由妇女、家庭与社会发展部负责,而宗教事务则有一名首相署部长专门负责的情况,马岛政府还要养这些人干嘛?而且有些还不断地自相矛盾批评现任政府呢。
