Shopping in Kathmandu?

Zam, Azalina and Everest politicized. Zainudin Maidin seems to have uncovered an attempt by a group of people "devoid of political capital" to hijack the Everest agenda from his Information Ministry [read here]. Calling it "politics of the lowest degree", Zam said this group of people had also accused Sports Minister Azalina Othman of having gone to Kathmandu for shopping! Read Azalina First Malaysian Cabinet minister at Everest base camp.

By the way, there will be a do at the Perdana Leadership Foundation in Putrajaya tomorrow [time: 10 am] to welcome home Malaysia's Everest heroes. Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who inspired Malaysia's first Everest conquest back in 1997, will be at hand to meet the climbers, including Marina Ahmad, the first Malaysian woman to conquer the world's highest peak.

  2. Can Zam submit a law or enact a policy to prohibit any celebration of achievement by anyone other than the Prime Minister, unless the Ministry of (Dis)Information approves?

    Dato' Zam, as a full blown politician, is currently in an acute state of attention crave. Maybe its his substitute against his under achiever-ibility and fast diminishing respect that he once enjoyed as the top Utusan man.......

    Apa nak heran..most ministers ambik kesempatan pergi overseas bawak Datin untuk shopping sambil perabis duit rakyat. Menteri Sains si JJ misalnya memang pantang ada events yg berkaitan IT ke biotek ke terus plan untuk globe trotting berminggu-minggu lamanya di luar negara dengan pegawai2 berduyun2 in tow, yg mana nak jaga datin shopping, yg mana nak angkat beg, jaga tiket..pokoknya perabis duit rakyat berjuta-juta makan angin.Kerjanya tak seberapa.

  9. Personally, I can't begin to comprehend our need to be recognised as the first Malaysian to have achieved whatever that other people have done and achieved aeons ago. Why is this encouraged by the people at the highest level? Why can't we be the first Malaysian(s) to achieve something that no one else has achieved before? This just shows how backward we really are, to be celebrating nothing!! But then again, this is symptomatic of how things are in this country, isn't it?

  10. Its an achievement nevertheless! Not the ministers, the climbers.

    Got nothing else better to show to the world by repeatedly sending Malaysians to conquer Mt Everest & come back as heroes??
    When will be the next group to go to Mt Everest? Did this exercise involved public funds directly or indirectly?
    Once is enough lah.

    I saw Zam, Azalina and Khalid Yunus on the RTM2 8pm news last night. To be frank, I didn't understand a word of what they were saying.

    Maybe, I need to go brush up on my Bahasa Msia!

    Sorry bro, this comment is regarding Proton:

    The negotiation (read bail out by VW) moves to the second stage from New York to London. (Apparently there are many Malaysians swirling around in London at this time of the year).

    Proton should be a bargain by now. But I guess if nothing could be agreed in London the entourage will move on to Paris, then may be Munich or somewhere...

    We can still do a FIRST as a people and country and that is to SAVE our own forests and wild animals. Human settlement and economic development is today encrouching upon ungazetted and gazetted (illegally) land which is affecting these rich flora and fauna. What do we leave for our grandchildren then.If we do this well, we may then assist the rest of the world which also is facing this problem. Save the animals-their habitat and thus save the Earth!
