KoSong: Sadness at dinner for Pusing old folks

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

Sadness at dinner for Pusing old folks

Just got news committee member died after collapsing at dinner.

(the above was picture posted when I was at the dinner)
Update:
Just got back from Pusing Old Folks Dinner, after sending leftover food to some factory workers. It is nice to see some foreign workers get to enjoy what might be thrown away as waste.

A committee member of a Pusing charity for old folks, who was sitting next to VIP guest, YB Sivakumar, suddenly collapsed. After some quick fix by rubbing good old Chinese medicated oil, he was sent to hospital. The empty table which was near ours was when YB and others accompanied him and yet to return. When I posted the picture with a short note, it was when we received news that he died. The other VIP present was YB Hee Yit Foong and some Majlis Daerah Kinta Barat councillors from DAP, one of whom represented YB Fong Po Kuan. I still remember 2 years ago, the VIP table was occupied with some MCA councillors!

The young girls and some boys on stage are those who obtained excellent results for school as well as UPSR and SPR exams. My wife commented that girls outnumbered boys which seems to be the trend nationally too.
