Why do we have this feeling, that PAS leaders have not learned from their habit of making baseless accusations? There seems to be a pattern to their gaffes which included linking DAP leaders to Singapore and Communist Party of Malaya leaders. Already a subscriber? Log in.

IT’S no laughing matter when police reports are lodged against a stand-up comedian like Harith Iskander or when a cartoonist like Fahmi Reza ends up in lock-up while under remand. It gets even less funny when Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri issues a warning about making jokes that “cross the line”.

WE will be ushering in the Year of the Snake soon. Unlike many other years in the Chinese zodiac, the reptile, for some reason, has a poor reputation. It is often portrayed as dangerous and poisonous, even when some species do not even bite. The poor snakes even get blame for the traitorous acts of human beings even when it’s no fault of theirs. Back stabbers and betrayers, for example, are dismissed as “snakes”.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian fossil scientist Dr Paul Rummy combs the desert of China and neighbouring parts of Central Asia looking for bones of dinosaurs, crocodiles, fishes, birds and other ancient lives dated back millions of years ago. While Dr Henry Walton 'Indiana' Jones is a fictitious character in the Hollywood movies, this Kuantan-born associate researcher is a real person who gets his hands dirty, under the scorching sun, looking for these forgotten creatures.

There must be better ways to handle the problem. The death of four people at the New Year’s Eve concert in Bandar Sunway recently was a tragedy but it was still an isolated incident. The temporary suspension of all concerts pending a review by the police is already a knee-jerk reaction. But the proposal by the Selangor state government that all concert-goers are screened first is a tall order. It is ridiculous to suggest that urine tests be conducted for concert-goers.
