My wife missed Wednesday night’s television news on Pak Lah’s announcement of his wedding, so she bought a copy of The Sun this morning, just to see a picture of Jeanne.
Actually, Raja Petra had published news about the romance way back in February, so it was just a case of ‘rumour’, as alleged by Pak Lah, which turned out to be true. So Zam’s take on bloggers was incorrect and in fact, they are more up-to-date and accurate than his official spin.
To me, there was a conspicuous absence of pictures of son and daughter or their personal comments, neither on national tv and nor mainstream media. In fact, we would expect at least a group picture of them with Jeanne and Pak Lah.
So it was left to the famous son-in-law to issue comments on their behalf. Strange.
As quoted in one of the newspapers - Khairy on his father-in-law:
Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Abdullah's son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin said the wedding would 'bring a lot of joy to the family'. 'I, my wife Nori, my brother-in-law and his wife are happy with the news. We fully support his decision.'
Bernama also quoted Mr Khairy as saying: 'We have known auntie Jeanne for a long time and we are very close. 'He consulted all of us and we have given our blessing.'
Anyway, as a citizen of Malaysia, I wish Pak Lah and Jeanne “All the best”! We deserve a happy Prime Minister.
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!

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

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
