Just before 8 pm, I switched on the television, which for some reason, would show TV1 every time, presumably by default setting. National Geographic was being shown which we watched for a while. Then, the 8 pm news on TV1 came on and the first item of headlines was about a group of 30 NGOs demonstrating, which by habit, I had already switched to NTV7 for the English news. I actually switched back to TV1 out of curiosity to find out what was it about, thinking it could be about the killing of kittens and the press conference by DAP representatives, Ean Yong and Teo Nie Ching. But it was about a group of demonstrators demanding Anwar to be subjected to DNA sampling in connection with the ongoing trial! By then, my wife said, 'Don't want to listen to all that rubbish, orchestrated by BN' and I switched back to NTV7.
NTV7 showed the latest news on the nuclear plants and the people after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan as expected. Soon after, Rosmah was shown giving advice to the people, which invariably gave the impression her wish to be in the spotlight.
I logged on the internet to check my emails, and then to my blogsite, and I saw this headline in Malaysia Today, 'Malaysian newspaper pokes fun at recent tsunami disasters':
"Local Malaysian newspaper Berita Harian published a caricature in their editor's column today that depicts the popular Japanese cartoon character Ultraman as trying to outrun an incoming tsunami.
By CNN iReport
The publication has received tremendous criticisms by readers, who accuse the editors as being "inconsiderate and distasteful". Several political leaders have even stepped out and demand a public apology, to which the editors promptly made on their publication's Facebook fan page."

Just found this link in Zorro unmasked (so I wasn't alone in feeling disgusted):
Just added this quote from S Dali:
"Imagine publishing Lat running away from a falling building cartoon just after the Highland Towers incident, thats what it feels like. Stupid, stupid ... its deplorable."
