KoSong: Faye Wong in town?

How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Faye Wong in town?

Cheng was arranging a family dinner for tomorrow. She called up the restaurant in Ipoh to book a table. When asked for her name, she said, ‘Wong Cheng Mun’ which is her name in Cantonese. The lady at the other end must have laughed because Cheng said, ‘don’t laugh’ in Cantonese.

Cheng’s name in Hokien is very different and sounds boyish too. In case, someone suggests that we followed Faye Wong’s name, she wasn’t famous in 1983 then.
