This is a sexist remark and should be condemned.What is not sexist is when one says behind Malaysia’s Fat Lady who knows? You cannot see.” – DiaperHead. Wrong – mocking a woman whose political position one dislikes in derogatory terms based on her appearance (a fat lady) for the sake of humour without regard to her ability and brains displayed in domestic and international trade forums – now, that would be a paradigm of a sexist statement that is deserving of condemnation being no different from Samy Vellu’s picturesque analogy of the physical attributes of a 50 year old woman to a dilapidated building requiring repairs and maintenance ! :) “As Tai Lo Chin says behind every a man there is a wise and graceful woman.

Now at least we can do so and without risk of being thrown into Kamunting Hotel. With the new management at least we take two steps forward and after that two steps backwards. We at least get to taste and see the forward position. But during the old management’s days most of us dared not critisize the management.

One says "if you spread all sorts of rumours, I will detain you under the ISA." The other says "by all means speak and debate the truth, but I am not going to doing anything to promote the truth that you want and I won't abolish the ISA either." Both sides of the same UMNO coin - a gross failure of leadership. Thank you, Jeffrey.
