Ah, finally we get to the Pakatan, previously the underdogs and eventual winners. A couple of good ones here, starting with the Eye of Sauron that is the coalition and PKR flag, and the superb rocket. The rocket is one of the best, and had it not been for the fact that it doesn’t look […]
Party flags III
Here we come to the outer circles of the Barisan. Another superhero flag, this time for a Doc Manhattan figure, plus the inexplicable Muslim Congress rose.
Party flags II
Some more Barisan flags here, mostly from East Malaysia where they go in for certain iconography: outline maps, outlines of Mt Kinabalu, and handshakes. I like the MyPPP flag the best on this page; it’s basically a superhero insignia.
Party flags I
I collected images of all the Malaysian party flags before the election, but my snide commentary on them was promptly rendered outdated by the election result. However, the flags are generally of a very high standard (and some of an exceptionally low standard), so I might as well start posting them for posterity’s sake. We’ll […]
An example
An example of what I find to be Malaysia’s somewhat horrific, yet fully publically accepted, xenophobia. A news item in the Star: Almost all foreign workers in study carry food poisoning microbes.
House on Jalan Pimping
I have just woken up in a house on Jalan Pimping which, despite its name, is a quiet, wealthy street in Ampang, with largish houses set along the lines of one of KL’s many low hills. It is the home of a friend and we are staying here after having moved out from our KLCC […]
Shadows ahead
The Gentleman Friend’s farewell party was yesterday, at the large and empty home of Green Thumb. Only a few people were invited: the Woodland Creature and Maitreyi, and Instagirl and her techie spouse. It went on too long for my taste as social events invariably do, but it was pleasant. There was one fine moment […]
Troubling weekend
Well, troubling is not quite the right word. It was a bit restless, I think I’m now close enough to the move to be both overwhelmed by what needs to be done and it’s still too early to take any action on it. Today I was very restless indeed. First we met the Woodland Creature […]
Shoplifter
I had probably my final char kway teow today – no longer my favourite Malaysian food, but still very delicious. On the way back I went to Pavilion to get groceries as the GF returns from his working week in London today, and first went upstairs to Daiso to look for specialised cleaning supplies that […]
Face of defeat
I’m watching Najib’s press conference. He looks a wreck. He has conceded defeat while saying, basically, that ‘we might have lost but no one else won’ – presumably this is due to a technicality in that the opposition PH coalition is not registered as a coalition and none of its component parties by themselves form […]
