But I'm ok with him and except for the occassional heated arguments and tears of frustration, we got along fine through out the years. I know that he was not being malicious when he talk about those things. He was just being idealistic and maybe a bit politically naive.
Last night we once again talked about politics, specifically the conduct of DAP's superstar Guan Eng.
He was a bit sombre when I mentioned how the Chinese community now are united under the DAP's leadership and that Guan Eng could do no wrong in their eyes.
"You got it wrong there," he said. He took out his smartphone and logged on to the Star newspaper website, accesed an article and showed it to me.
It was an article by Jocelyn Tan in Sunday Star about the souring of relations between Guan Eng and the Chinese newspapers. (Sorry, I can't link it here because of my faulty netbook).
"That article was translated and published in full by Sin Chew today,"he said. "I think you know what thats means."
"And please stop saying that I am a fan of Guan Eng," he added.
Apparently he was angry with Guan Eng for threatening to sue his former colleagues for asking some legitimate questions during a Press conference.
"That was too much of him. He is getting too arrogant," he said.
And he was not the only one among his peers who is of that opinion. He told me about his best friend who is a journalist of China Press who also think that Guan Eng is getting too big headed. I know his friemd as being an idealistic journalist and never hesitate to say her thoughts on any issue.
"She actually wishes that BN wins this coming election as Pakatan Rakyat, with leaders like Guan Eng are not yet mature enough to run this country. It's not that she likes BN, just that Guan Eng is behaving too much like a little boy. How to runs the country like that," he said.
Well, it seems that the love affair between Guan Eng and the Chinese media is really on the rock now. They are now begining to realise that he is just a spoilt brat and nothing more.
i looked the article up, and this is the link. hope this helps others :)

What's the problem with Guan Eng not having an happy time with the Chinese Press ? Would you report that I am not having a happy time with Utusan Malaysia ? Oh I forgot, my complaint is that Utusan isn't good enough for my toilet paper.
Deletehey anon who's care about you hahaha guan eng is another love from chinese newspaper , but DAP troopers soo aggresive and arrogant when chinese newspaper not report as DAP desire , they will attack those reporters hahaha DAP democracy style huh !
Deletestill a small portion of them , you can see many DAP sympathy and supporters are very naive in Politic , just talk about bumiputera this malay that Islam that and they will swallow it boldly , in DAP if you put evidence infront of their face about how corrrupt LGE still they dont believe it , even cronysm happen in DAP they could not see it too .. but the funny is they seem know anything abot UMNO from top to bottom , but they even dont know the DAP party system , they dont ever practice democratic system . how funny is that !!!
ReplyDeleteHow corrupt is LGE? MACC says he is clean otherwise he will be like Teoh pull up for questioning. Otherwise who is telling a lie under Koran?
ReplyDeleteSo now Penang is like North Korea? No freedom, no demcratic like Syria where Awalites are bombing the Sunnis? That is what I know no democracy in Syria where Sunnis are being bombed as compare to Penang under PR.
Hey you Teoh not pull up just for questioning , he is the key witness for MACC , from his death many DAP adun discharge from rasuah !!!
DeleteAnon 03.38: Don't speak nonsense. If you don't trust the findings of the RCI, just say so. Remember that was a Royal Commission and nothing was found to implicate Teoh or his bosses. don't let figment of your imagination destroy the dignity of an innocent man who can't question you because your goons put him over the edge.
Deletehey anon 04.37 , DAP is the one who destroy the man integrity and DAP also who still not believe RCI and will playing racial issue and drag the man family everywhere with false informations and oppose the RCI as they can . If DAP can talk this person kill him , this goverment kill him and fitnah SPRM as they can .. you dont think a man will come and said "Its DAP who's got the benefit from this man death ! all the evidence for DAP bribery case are gone and now they are free"
DeleteIts quite logic if DAP supporters still want to playing this issue , and reality is DAP still dont believed in RCI findings .
DAP don't believe in RCI findings ? Where you read that ? DAP don't believe that there will be justice AFTER the RCI findings, and that has been proven. The MACC culprits are still at large, aren't they ? Why after 2 years still no action AS PROMISED by the MACC itself ?
DeleteTypical abang adik culture, waiting for some junior scapegoats ?
Those 3 goons indicted by the RCI should be charged and sent to jail, and then there will be closure. TBH's ghost walks the corridor of MACC, and those who fitnah against him beware.....
Deleteanon 18.08 "DAP don't believe that there will be justice AFTER the RCI findings ??" hahaha Those DAP will and never believed laa , where have you been ?? why you target MACC? bcoz the finding not suit what DAPigs want ??? hahaha , of coz DAPigs will never believed RCI coz this issue is a political milleage to them using death man name , and they will play this issue as racial issue and gain more support from naive DAP supporters.
DeleteThe truth is with Teoh death , DAP corrupt scandal cased is closed , MACC just a scapegoat by DAPigs liar
haiya...tengok muka mcam ni mati pucuk terus tapi duit/power punya pasal betina sepet memang senang kangkang.
ReplyDeleteAnother Guan Eng love affair ? You can't let it go, even after the MCA has let go with tails behind their back ? Why don't you make it clearer and see if Guan Eng will sue your pants off ?
ReplyDeleteUse common sense, you may not worry about your fitnah consequences in the afterlife, but we must have some decency.
"Betina sepit memang senang kangkang"
ReplyDeleteYang berita-berita keluar anak dibuang kat tong sampah, luar masjid, longkang dan tempat lupus sampah itu betika bangsa mana kot?
Yang merogol anak sendiri agaknya lelaki bangsa apa?
Yang janda-janda melambak ditinggalkan suami dan kahwin buat anak kemudian cerai berai kahwin lagi kemudian cerai berai sudah tentunya tahukan bangsa apa.
Yang ashyik nak kalwat, masuk hotel bajet bangsa mana hah.
Biar apapun, Auditor Negara, orang Melayu Muslim sudah sahihkan Pulau Pinang negeri yang terbaik diurus semenjak Pakatan Rakyat memerintah.
Elok juga kalau kalau Anon 4:22 jilat pantat Lim Guan Eng. Mungkin akan dilidah lebih otak dari dalam kepala.
Lihatlah betina-betina bangs kamu sendiri.
"Biar apapun, Auditor Negara, orang Melayu Muslim sudah sahihkan Pulau Pinang negeri yang terbaik diurus semenjak Pakatan Rakyat memerintah. "
DeleteSapa tu ?? rakyat Kg Buah Pala yang telah dihina oleh penyokong DAP sebelum ini ? Rakyat yang telah dirobohkan gerai mereka secara diskriminasi perkauman , atau gerai atas pokok yang difitnah DAP kerana menjual arak semata-mata untuk menghalalkan perobohan tersebut? Rakyat mana? Rakyat yang buat perhimpunan hijau ?? tapi FMT terpaksa minta maaf kepada Lynas kerana semua artikel mereka mempunyai fakta yang menipu.
Kalau setakat PAS tu takpayah laa ,bukan ke orang macam PAS tu sangat kau benci
Auditor negara pun ada ?haha memalukan betul laa DAP cybertroopers ni terang-terang berbohong hahaha taktau nak cakap apa laa tu buat cerita palsu macam guan eng
lebeh teruk dari Apek tak sedar diri adalah Melayu penjilat cibai tak cebok. Baca lah paper cina kalo nak tau masalah depa. Ko tak dengar maka ko ingat depa ni semua malaikat!! Bodossss
DeleteWoi Anon 17 July 2012 04:52 tak reti stats- melayu bangsa majority , so u tend to here more about them. Cina tak kesah anak luar nikah ke, nak berkhalwat ke, berjudi ke... semua ok je, no big deal= not news material.
DeleteCina lagi pandai- baby luar nikah tinggalkan kat pintu rumah Melayu ......kkkkkkkkk
Deletei dont take it that the chinese are not in favour of guan eng! no matter how stupid or arrogant guan eng will act in future, majority chinese especially in dap & his sympathizers will surely support him because chinese dap would want to rule this nation badly!
ReplyDeleteit's the same as chinese in mca who still supported their presiden mr chua even though he had admitted that he was an infidel...
and the same as malays in pgayr who still support anwar blindly even after his china-doll video clearly shows that he is da man!
the same too with pas members who still believe what mat sabu is preaching them about religious affairs even when he was caught having an affair with his friend's wife in room 121...die-hard fans are hard to change!
Wahhhh senang kangkanggggg... Kucing besar kasi censor skit la lelaki melayu yang horny suka baca blog ni la

DeletePrint newspapers are down everywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteTo think that print journalists are to be feared by people is a joke! In the pre-social media times, you need to kowtow to them for limited exposure, especially to the opposition.
Try reading China Press, Star, Sin Chew before the Mac 2008 general elections. They give 3-to-1 coverage to government news and opinions, if at all to the opposition side.
Nowadays, people are accessing online news much more and through social media like FB. That's why print media are losing readership everywhere and in Malaysia.
Journalists have love affairs with DAP? Funny la.
Editors decide how a story is run, framed and shaped all this while...
And editors report to their corporate owners more so in Malaysia than in the West.
Btw, i also had dinner with a former Star editor recently.
I get a different angle on this allegedly media love affair.

I assume that it was a typo and u r that DAP cybertrooper Kluang girl. Ok, fyi, the reason I previously said I like your nick, was because there is someone I really respect whom I call by that name. She is that China Press journalist I mentioned in this posting. That former Sin Chew journalist and me gave her that nickname because she is from Kluang. To me, she is the best journalist working for the Chinese newspapers in JB. I really hope she and her friends from those newspapers read your comment so that they know how DAP people think of them. Why I think Chinese media journalists tend to support DAP? Well, as an example, in 2004 general election, members of the Chinese media club in JB set up a fund to help raise money for DAP's Dr Boo campaign. After reading how pathetic u think they are, I doubt they will be that supportive of your party anymore. It doesnt pay to be arrogant, ok?
Deletehaiyaa amoi if
Delete"To think that print journalists are to be feared by people is a joke!"
why DAP cybertroopers attack chinese dailies reporters just bcoz the report not suit with DAP dear leader . even he will shout about sue sue and sue or 'shame on you' and still he run away from the question if he have the guts and believed in freedom just answer laa no need such drama
and why tian chua want to punch the reporters for just asking the questions he doesnt like , , haiyaa this monkey always shout about freedom and democracy , now we see they dont even cannot walk the talk and till now without shame still talking about democracy and freedom so stupid laa .
Dear Big Cat,
DeleteYes please share with your Chinese press contacts what i wrote here. In fact, i'll be more than happy to have coffee with them anytime to tell them what i think is the future of print media. Like said earlier, i also have many friends from the media world.
Berita Harian, Sinar Harian, Star, Sin Chew to my friends are just a job... Everybody also complain & gossip about their editors etc. It's a just a job to them! So please grow up if you think newspapers are the center of the universe.
~ Kluang girl
You read the rabid Helen Ang, and she claims that the STAR is pro Opposition. Let it go lah.....don't let fitnah catch you in afterlife. If you believe in your own religion.
ReplyDeletethats why chinese reporters got attacks from DAPigs cybertroopers , if they write something about guan beng and they dont like it , they will degrading them hahaha but this gaun beng can said everything and lie everything .. the simple DAP democracy , you talk about me you die , i sue you , i will beat you .. but DAP need no proof to talk about others
ReplyDeleteJocelyne Tan's column has lost all credibility after she wrote full praises of son-in-law Khairy Jamaludin many years ago during Pak Lah's time when the rest of nation think otherwise !
ReplyDeleteJB Boy
Dun worry, Big Cat, fitnah is for the afterlife. Today is now, just go hang out with the Chinese boy.
ReplyDeleteno need to bring in afterlife lah- nobody knows really got or not. Just spekulasi:)

Deletei wonder those apek nyonya and amoi in baju hijau at Penang also fitnah ahh and dont forget DAP slave PAS huhuhu . Of coz laa FMT say sorry already so scared maa maybe will be like Tian Chua , Pakatan Rakyat gather the money to save this pembohong! , kaki fitnah! Penipu! . haiyaa so simple logic PR will do anything for pemfitnah and pembohong lorr .. i ROFL liau
I think it is just lovers' quarrel lah Big Cat. Nanti Dear Leader pujuk just b4 PRU13.. they will support him back for sure..
ReplyDeleteIn Malaysia unfortunately... everything will turn racial. More so now when the kids are segregated (and brainwashed) since young.. So I believe at the end of the day... majority Chinese will vote for Chinese candidates regardless from which party they are from.. DAP, MCA, Gerakan (in descending order).
Malays are previously pretty neutral.. but now I think they are turning more racial too.. The louder the Chinese shout and demand this and that.. the more racial Malays will turn too.
I am seriously very sad with this situation but at loss on how to fix it. I pray that rational thoughts will prevail in the future even when chaos reign...
RCZ
for me Lim guang beng love affair with chinese dailies will still continued , bcoz they have same voice and tone , the chinese dailies are more racist ever same as DAP , everything come out from their mouth is always Malaysian and Malaysian ahh again same as DAP Lim corrupt dynasty but the truth is they report always put chinese first , not report as Malaysian .
ReplyDeleteRight. You really need to go back to school anon 10.05. Your ability to understand and rebut are non existent.
ReplyDeleteapek cybertroopers 05.23 if you dont understands , you the one who should go to the school . from anon 04.38 attitude he show the stupidity and hypocrite of DAP supporters/symphaty , all this while DAP leader always cursed UMNO with their twisted tongue , but know your people want to crybaby when we critic about your dear leader?? hahaha
