I'm joining ... Count me in
Calling one, calling all! Defend your right to free speech!
This is the official statement of Bloggers United. This statement is jointly drafted by Susan Loone and Sheih of Kickdefella. All those who believe in justice and right to free speech, please sign on and put this up in your blogs. Spread it around; let it grow far and wide. The fight is on! See also Susan Loone.
BLOGGERS UNITED CONDEMN ACTION AGAINST ROCKY & JEFF & DEMAND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD in ALL ACTION AGAINST BLOGGERS
We, Malaysian bloggers, we, who believe in justice and right to free speech, we, who endorse the Bloggers United movement, unanimously condemn the action taken by media conglomerate NST against bloggers Rocky Bru and Jeff Ooi. The action by the newspaper against the duo is an action against all bloggers who believe in their right to free speech, freedom of expression and justice.
The recent event may seem like a grave development in the path of bloggers, but it can never and must never impede or stop us from defending our right to speak, to express, to write and to tell the truth, to be the watchdog, eyes and ears of the people, or simply to share our view, and give fair comment on any subject which involves and affects us as humans, as rightful citizens of this country.
The recent event may very well give the government owned media the opportunity to dictate the so-called ‘truth” but such actions only prove that bloggers must unite, continue to uphold the right to free speech and freedom of expression, fight for justice, even if it is not our own, be more alert, committed to the cause of free speech, relentless and persistence in the face of such persecution like the one which had befallen on the two of us.
What YOU do to any of US, is what YOU do to ALL.
As responsible bloggers, we demand and claim our space on the blogosphere for free and fair comment, where important national issues and prominent personalities are discussed.
Although it may seem as if the NSTP defamation suits will have a chilling effect on freedom of bloggers, as litigation can be expensive and may jeorpadise a blogger’s economic position, we will not be cowed or silenced by those who have no regard for free speech.
If you find our post offensive, you may refute us with correct facts and figures and fair comment, in the spirit of free speech.
The first two cases will have grave impact not only on the internet, but country as a whole as the country celebrates VMY2007. The healthy, mature and democratic growth for free speech and expression in our midst is at stake. The reputation of the nation as it strives to promote our multimedia supercorridor and love for IT will be a national joke for all the world to feast on.
We demand for a level playing field in all action meted out to bloggers and in particular in the defamation proceedings particularly in terms of financial resources and capabilities, and secondly, that the legal rights of bloggers et al are properly protected in keeping with the imperatives of an information society and knowledge economy which Malaysia aspires to become.
For further information, please contact blogger susan loone at susanloone@gmail.com and sheih at kickdefella@yahoo.com
From the Admin:
I am hereby to declare that asignofthecreator is joining Bloggers United. Hands to Hands, Shoulder to Shoulder. Asignofthecreator will uphold fredom of speech & expression and wud not tolerate if such rights be violated without any reasonable justifications.
Asignofthecreator would like to apologise to all viewers for not linking Malaysia's News Straits Time untill further notice (depending how da nstp will 'behave' in producing reliable, independent, impartial reports). I do appreciate the inconveniences caused but I wont tolerate to any 'yes man' idealism and movement in this blog.
Let God's Love Unite Us All

Wat In The Name of Democracy Is Dat?!?!
U NSTP nuts tell me
U kill Freedom of Speech in the name of your a**'s democracy
I quote excerpts from Malaysiakini
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/62257
Ahirudin Attan and Jeff Ooi have been served with different suits relating to blog posts in their respective websites............
The lawyer who served the notice to Ahirudin represented News Straits Times Press (NSTP), its deputy chairperson Kalimullah Hassan, chief executive officer Syed Faisal Albar, group editor-in-chief Hishamudin Aun and former group editor Brendan Pereira.
“They have cited 48 postings considered defamatory and are seeking an injunction against my blog......" Ahirudin quipped.
In Nov 2006, Ahirudin and Jeff were embroiled in controversy with NSTP when they revealed that a column in the New Straits Times on Oct 30 under group editor Brendan Pereira’s by-line bore a strong resemblance in style and structure to a column by Mitch Albom in the Detroit Free Press of Sept 10, 2006.
NSTP was reported, to file legal action against Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin Atan for defamation over series of entries in Ooi's Screenshots and Atan's Skybru, allegedly, slandering top figures of the Malaysia's largest media group.
Both Ooi and Atan's actions will be heard separately at KL High Court on Jan 30 and Jan 25.
As the suit is yet to take place, I can't exactly reveal the nature of the dispute.(thesedays, we ought 2 b extremely wary watever b***** words spelt out by our lips). But it is believed, to be related to controversials surrounding the departure of former NSTP Group Editor, Brendan Pereira. He's been alleged by the bloggers of committing plagiarism before leaving the company. Both Pereira and NST denied such claim and stressed dat his departure got nothing to do with plagiarism watsoeve.
Also,
They had constantly submit in their article dat "...Brendan (Pereira)...as a...key spin-doctor for PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,...will only do the right thing for a living..."
(the question is - is dat defamatory in its nature?)
Now ppl, lets do sumting legal ere
Under the Law of Defamation (s far s I can remember) -smirking-
1) An individual can sue for damage to their reputation caused by material broadcast or published 2 a 3rd party, which includes online.
I submit - clearly understood
2) Any living individual or company can sue s long s they r reasonably identifiable from wat is said n the material is defamatory on them. Dis means dat it wud tend 2 lower them in da estimation of ritw-thinking people generally
I submit - Can sum1 properly explain how key-spin doctor came 2 exist?
3) The claimant doesn't need to show dat they suffered actual damage, nor dat wat was said was false. On the contrary, the defendant generally has to prove dat was true.
I submit - analysing dis, the claimants NSTP & Brendan have a gud case since Ooi's and Atan's statement 'key-spin doctor', in da eyes of a reasonable man, degrading and humiliating him. Breandn wudn't have 2 prove dat those r true, suffice to prove dat his reputation has been tarnished s a result of dat statements.
4) If invloved in an action 4 defamation, dere r number of possible defences, but generally u will need to have a gud evidence 2 back up wat u say.
I submit - it wud be hard 4 da defence team 2 shield if they can't really prove dat Brendan has a special 'affair' wif Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Plus ... da plagiarism thingy has to be proven on the balance of probabilities.
Moreover, according 2 my personal YO (lol ... applaud 2 Shahril Hamdan), living in a closed-sealed-system back home open da doors of speculaton n heresays, n no doubt might lead 2 public outcry. "We don't get access 2 files pertaining 2 govt projects, we can't b revealed how politicians get their funds."
(shahril, I quote u with proper reference tau. Jgn u sue I plak.)
It simply flashes our minds back when sum1 accuses KJ of corruption when he obtains his ECM Libra Shares. We cudn't even know whether dat sum1's accusation stands correctly or merely theories.
(FYI- dat sum1 isnt really mean sum1 literally. He is a 'somebody' extraordinary, unbelievale,iron-man figure in the country. =) I bet the Malaysians wud know him. At least.)
In my opinion, in an open society, we shud let criticism and expression flows. Perhaps, in a suttle way, both Jeff and Ahirudin were expressing their thoughts over da relationship of PM n Brendan. Dats wat they believe based from their own views.
So why be bothered?
At da same time, the Government, especially PM wud always be feel-free 2 counter dat expresion and prove dats not true. The public will judge based on da facts disclosed.Like wat he encounters on Endorgan's claim about his (PM) another 'affair' with da 6th richest man in Asia Ananda Krishnan. We da commoners aren't stupid.
OMG. Sumhow it reminds me to a really hot juicy-juicy case of da 2 Datuks. Datuk Syarifah Aini v Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. Its about defamation too with few distinctive facts with da current.
Da public shud be given more avenues 2 express their thoughts n conscience. No doubt, sumtimes it hits da nose of da big officials of da country, but ideas n minds shud be expressed n flowed. Y fear if u r with da truth?
Meanwhile, having said dat,on balance, it doest give da public a greenlight dat they cud arbitarily placing random, base-less criticism(s). It wud be immature, I wud say, 2 allege sum1 or sumting without having any substantials 2 support with. We aren't like Cik Bedah or Joyah at Kampungs selling hot sizzling stories without seeing with their own eyes. We r an intellect society aren't we? I call myself n others crusade members 2 always back up our arguments n thoughts wif facts n evidence otherwise our fight n spirit will b regarded as a total farce and a complete fiasco.
2 Jeff n Ahirudin:
Rest assured. Da truth will always prevail no matter wat as true democracy will never die. Feel disheartened be not as God loves da truth and protect da truth amongst us. If u need financial assistance 4 ur suit, dere u go. Hundreds of us alredi asking ur bank accounts n details. Just tell us and we get it sorted. U never walk alone s dere b hundreds behind ur back. .. Even we not physically b with u (like me), our prayers n blessings traverse da ocean and soil 2 call ur success.
To fellow socio-political bloggers (like me??) abroad n locally:
Lets stand up, holding our hands in solidarity, give our support 2 Ahirudin n Jeff. Give all wat U can. Lets make an action peeps n end dis polemic manouvres; becuz its not 4 us, but 4 da country dat we love and 4 da future generation dat we care ...
will keep u updated...

A Brite Wednesday ... Hurrah
Currently playing Seasons in The Sun
Just a quickie 2 share sumting really memorable with all u readers.
Its a brite sunny Wednesday 2day. Really fine day.
As I traversed the streets and parks, I tilted upwards and viewed da borderless sky.Wide.
The sun shines high in da sky. Da skies r clear blue. Birds chirping in a mellowing seething melody. Makes me perpetuated a while
T-H-I-N-K-I-N-G
How beauty da world dat God has created for us da mortals?
n yet we forget n go astray
My heart resiliently flies (4 a moment) back home. The very same day wud be different back then. Raining and showering mercilessly. Resulting in frustration n misery. Feeling despondency of hope upon knowing da city is awashed away within days. I feel sorry to all the 'act-of-God's bearers. No doubt,it must be hard on them. Less Food,no place to stay apart in a cramped public foyer. May The Force Be With You.
I wish I'm dere to give my little hands. May God hears me and them. AMEN.
I will now take dis stage to give my profoundest expressions of gratitude to God 4 everything He has made to me. I thank Him for His Mercy and His Clemency beyond all compare, 4 letting me get dis far, despite dat I have not been very good to Him in da past.
To Ye O Lord, I Seek Repentence ...
p/s Only now I know why da Brits do really appreciate nice weathers. For less than 10 hours, 3 of them bumped to me n sed
"Isnt da weather nice dear?"
"Its a lovely day innit?"
"Wat a wonderful day,wud u say so?"
n fyi, L-O-V-E-L-Y have been heard it 4 more than 10 times alredy 2day
dats all for now.
Gud nite n sweet dreams to all.

AULD LANG SYNE: 2006 IN MEMORY
Currently playing Auld Lang Syne
I'm back from my winter hols. Not really a vacation but a group binding gathering. Loads of troubles, utterly took place but I cudn't be bothered. After all, its Niu Yer n we shud close 2006 curtain with smile n laughter. 2 b honest, 2006 brings me loads of things to discover, many experience to feel, plenty lessons to gain n many subjects to learn.

An Evening With MPP: A Disappointment
Dear all
Hope u had a nice weekends.
I feel 2 draw ur attention in regards to a weekend with Mesian MPP and UKEC. The fact dat not every1 of us had da chance to experience the meeting, I feel much obliged to share the experience we underwent for others to review and for us to ponder upon.
Da meeting was indeed a half-success. Truly I didnt really enjoy every single minute it went as it was fixed, rigid, less freedom and full of fiascos. I was been given da impression dat Firdaus n Iedil will conduct the meetiing be with da presentation and dialogues. It was come to my surprise dat an elderly-impolite-irrespectable MSD officer took control da whole evening. n telling ya, it was a bizarre. a complete nuts. They were too offensive, didnt let da idea flows naturally from us .. plus .. defensive. Every points we tried to convey been cut off without due respect.
Peeps,
I'm currently in a bit of a quandary, but I need ur help ere
Do u utterly believe dat cutting off someone's conversation without due respect is tolerable?
n 4 heaven's sake, dats wat happening to us.
wats da point off seeking suggestion if u cant identify da root of da probs? (sket2 cadangan..brape byk cadangan entah) grrrrrrrrrr
through out da whole discussion, I felt da whole universe was a spinning hotchpotch of blurred stars. n i remained silent n still 4 da first preliminary rounds.
n I think, the MPP are not equally represented. I've been told by one of da delegates dat they were selected to be in da trip. and some of them r not even da presidents and in the line-up committees. Been chosen solely on da basis of sharing da same aspiration.
wot da heck?!
can sum1 tell me wats going on?
Howeva, we contributed some percentage of da flaw.
Since da meeting was called in short notice, every1 of us came without doing homeworks (or initial research if u like). It results us having less-supporting info about da topics we debated.
I recall one of our members (Mr R) - R bukan nama sebenar - did not realise he made a false accusation by saying dere's no free newspaper distributed back in Mesia. Honestly i dun know either. but by simply say it blatantly,without asking, it shows how ignorant are we bout wats happening in our country. Probably on some subconscious level, we poured a flammable liquid into da burning fire. We put a shame on ourselves 4 not following da country's development.
In future, I hope, dis inconsistensies shudnt happen again. We shud be more careful in choosing our words and be accurate at pointing out da issues. Da council believes dat Mesian studs in the UK have loads of package to offer to our country. We are da future world-class leader (God's willing). We shud embark training ourselves to think, to speak, to debate, to criticise like a world class leader. (tumpang promote ain's coming PAN) We shud no more asking irrelevant question(s), stating facts without concrete evidence or simply making false accusation.
Also
I notice, we shud put our emotional behind our rationale. I know u passed a test of endurance three quarter of da event, but shud u keep it till da end, it wud be brilliant for all of us. We must never let emotion controls over our wisdom of minds. Future leaders r trained 2 control their anger and channel it thru da appropriate way

(firdaus, iedil pasnie blh lah lantik aku sbg mursyidul am UKEC) lol
Concomitantly, I'm not pointing at any1, but its for our own gud. enw, students do make mistakes. Dis is da best time 4 us 2 make errors provided we learn soon we discovered da truth. I do expect mistakes done by a student rather than by a politician cuz dis da very age we learn and we explore, to cherish and to adore what life is all about. n even we do make mistake,I bet it will be da best guidance in our future ahead. Do remember - experience is da best teacher in da world!
Sorry guys 4 taking too much of ur attention. I hope i'm not being rigorous to any1 ere. Just had da thought to share. "sharing is caring,caring is loving" katanyerrrrrrrrrr.
plus ...
dis wud be my report to da council since I wont be getting my travel reimbursement if i dun produce a report. so firdaus, can I have my reimbursement now?
Disclaimer notice: da council shall not be held responsible 4 all da points i've stated. all views and opinions expressed ere are personally mine n do not reflect da views and standpoint of UKEC n its members!!

Phewww ... Wot A Relieve !!
Hello, its Zackie again ...
Perhaps, we shudnt take dis too lightly. These days da world is no longer a safe place to stay. Its full of diseases, epidemics n illnesses.
Upon hearing below, I feel much relieved. Sumhow it reduces my worries n fear when making long calls* with family n frens. Well I believe dats 1 gud thing living in the UK. With 1000 off-peaks free minutes a month, u'll end up locking urself in bedroom, talking laughing crying with da loved ones.. (opsss sape tuh?)
I welcome 4 more recent studies n researches about da matter. Surely, it wud be pointless not to disclose da facts if they r truly damaging our life.
n one more thing,
I dun know y i'll be easily touched upon hearing n knowing C-A-N-C-E-R. My eyes wud brimming in tears realising sum1 died of cancer..its becuz he or she was in a helpless state despite modern technology of medicine coming to existence.
but
honestly 2 day I feel so down. n I cud understand y
Sape suruh hang gatai merelaa pi tgk Stairway To Heaven? (aka CheonKuKui Gyedon)
Yeah, I've watched da korean movie. 3 nites in a row mate!!! No joking. Sedey nak mum-push ok!! Surprisingly I found myself less crying watching da movie, but when I woke up in da next morning, my pillows r wet with tears.
I'll definitely put a review on dis series.
I'll Follow You Wherever The Place You May Go. Be It Heaven,

Study disputes cell phone-cancer link
By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer Tue Dec 5, 4:00 PM ET
WASHINGTON - A huge study from Denmark offers the latest reassurance that cell phones don't trigger cancer. Scientists tracked 420,000 Danish cell phone users, including 52,000 who had gabbed on the gadgets for 10 years or more, and some who started using them 21 years ago.
They matched phone records to the famed Danish Cancer Registry that records every citizen who gets the disease — and reported Tuesday that cell-phone callers are no more likely than anyone else to suffer a range of cancer types.
The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute' name National Cancer Institute, is the largest yet to find no bad news about the safety of cell phones and the radiofrequency energy they emit. But even the lead researcher doubts it will end the debate."There's really no biological basis for you to be concerned about radio waves," said John Boice, a Vanderbilt University professor and scientific director of the International Epidemiology Institute in Rockville, Md. "Nonetheless, people are."
So Boice and colleagues at Copenhagen's Danish Cancer Society plan to continue tracking the Danish callers until at least some have used the phones for 30 years. This so-called Danish cohort "is probably the strongest study out there because of the outstanding registries they keep," said Joshua Muscat of Pennsylvania State University, who also has studied cell phones and cancer.
"As the body of evidence accumulates, people can become more reassured that these devices are safe, but the final word is not there yet," Muscat added
Cell phones beam radiofrequency energy that can penetrate the brain's outer edge, raising questions about cancers of the head and neck, brain tumors or leukemia. Most research has found no risk, but a few studies have raised questions. And while U.S. health officials insist the evidence shows no real reason for concern, they don't give the phones a definitive clean bill of health, either, pending long-term data on slow-growing cancers.
For the latest study, personal identification numbers assigned to each Dane at birth allowed researchers to match people who began using cell phones between 1982 and 1995 with cancer records. Among 420,000 callers tracked through 2002, there were 14,249 cancers diagnosed — fewer than the 15,001 predicted from national cancer rates. Nor did the study find increased risks for any specific tumor type.

R We Wise Enough?? Hell No
Dear readers,
Please read the article wrote by Michael Backman and it was brought to my attention by Zaid Hakim. Undeniably wat he said are all bitterly true. Damm it.
I am strongly agree on all of the contentions below-mentioned. We are spending the money in such a wasteful way. We r wasting da effort n da sweat by placing our country on da world map but fail to draw da picture of equality and 'better-living' models in the country itself. Shame on me and the fellow Malaysians!!!!
Hence wat we could do? Sit doing nothing? Waiting 4 da next economic turmoil? (some experts forecast dat 2008 will be da fall of our economic growth ...n its worrying numbers of malaysians..I mean da alert-and-the-caring malaysians).
At the end of da day, I am questioning myself, why on earth da non-Malaysian realises this? Wat is he got to do with Malaysia? Why is so concerned by warning the government da danger in 19 years time?
n u know wat?
We r still debating on who is more islamic against others.
We r promoting da hell of "memperkasakan agenda nasional" without realising the actual-true-and-exact definition of agenda nasional.
We r launching 12 "Gagasan Negara bagi Menyokong Matlamat Wawasan 2020" but neglect da life of a 12 year old child who has to wake up as early as 0400, crossing da rainforest in barefoot for 4 miles just to get to school. (which I'm sure everyone agrees dat education is a basic rights for all)
Wat else? da list goes on....
so folks, come on. its da time for a change. I'm not interested to convey dis idea to our current leaders as they already got their own (not idealistic enough) agenda.but wud rather keen to share da inspiration with you, da younger generation who is gonna inherit da country.
Any takers?

MALAYSIA'S been at it again, arguing about what proportion of the economy each of its two main races — the Malays and the Chinese — owns. It's an argument that's been running for 40 years. That wealth and race are not synonymous is important for national cohesion, but really it's time Malaysia grew up.
It's a tough world out there and there can be little sympathy for a country that prefers to argue about how to divide wealth rather than get on with the job of creating it. The long-held aim is for 30 per cent of corporate equity to be in Malay hands, but the figure that the Government uses to justify handing over huge swathes of public companies to Malays but not to other races is absurd. It bases its figure on equity valued, not at market value, but at par value.
Many shares have a par value of say $1 but a market value of $12. And so the Government figure (18.9 per cent is the most recent figure) is a gross underestimate. Last month a paper by a researcher at a local think-tank came up with a figure of 45 per cent based on actual stock prices. All hell broke loose. The paper was withdrawn and the researcher resigned in protest. Part of the problem is that he is Chinese.
"Malaysia boleh!" is Malaysia's national catch cry. It translates to "Malaysia can!" and Malaysia certainly can. Few countries are as good at wasting money. It is richly endowed with natural resources and the national obsession seems to be to extract these, sell them off and then collectively spray the proceeds up against the wall.
This all happens in the context of Malaysia's grossly inflated sense of its place in the world.
Most Malaysians are convinced that the eyes of the world are on their country and that their leaders are world figures. This is thanks to Malaysia's tame media and the bravado of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. The truth is, few people on the streets of London or New York could point to Malaysia on a map much less name its prime minister or capital city.
As if to make this point, a recent episode of The Simpsons features a newsreader trying to announce that a tidal wave had hit some place called Kuala Lumpur. He couldn't pronounce the city's name and so made up one, as if no-one cared anyway. But the joke was on the script writers — Kuala Lumpur is inland.
Petronas, the national oil company is well run, particularly when compared to the disaster that passes for a national oil company in neighbouring Indonesia. But in some respects, this is Malaysia's problem. The very success of Petronas means that it is used to underwrite all manner of excess. The KLCC development in central Kuala Lumpur is an example. It includes the Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world when they were built, which was their point.
It certainly wasn't that there was an office shortage in Kuala Lumpur — there wasn't.
Malaysians are very proud of these towers. Goodness knows why. They had little to do with them. The money for them came out of the ground and the engineering was contracted out to South Korean companies. They don't even run the shopping centre that's beneath them. That's handled by Australia's Westfield.
Next year, a Malaysian astronaut will go into space aboard a Russian rocket — the first Malay in space. And the cost? $RM95 million ($A34.3 million), to be footed by Malaysian taxpayers. The Science and Technology Minister has said that a moon landing in 2020 is the next target, aboard a US flight. There's no indication of what the Americans will charge for this, assuming there's even a chance that they will consider it. But what is Malaysia getting by using the space programs of others as a taxi service? There are no obvious technical benefits, but no doubt Malaysians will be told once again, that they are "boleh". The trouble is, they're not. It's not their space program.
Back in July, the Government announced that it would spend $RM490 million on a sports complex near the London Olympics site so that Malaysian athletes can train there and "get used to cold weather". But the summer Olympics are held in the summer. So what is the complex's real purpose? The dozens of goodwill missions by ministers and bureaucrats to London to check on the centre's construction and then on the athletes while they train might provide a clue.
Bank bale outs, a formula one racing track, an entire new capital city — Petronas has paid for them all. It's been an orgy of nonsense that Malaysia can ill afford. Why? Because Malaysia's oil will run out in about 19 years. As it is, Malaysia will become a net oil importer in 2011 — that's just five years away.
So it's in this context that the latest debate about race and wealth is so sad.
It is time to move on, time to prepare the economy for life after oil. But, like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, the Malaysian Government is more interested in stunts like sending a Malaysian into space when Malaysia's inadequate schools could have done with the cash, and arguing about wealth distribution using transparently ridiculous statistics.
That's not Malaysia "boleh", that's Malaysia "bodoh" (stupid).
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
So wat say ye?
Please bear in mind that da article is not to reflect or to attack da UMNO Conference which took place days ago. Neither 2 combat da idea why all KULN leaders r given free flights to attend da less-than-a-week event but it is to reflect ourselves - R We Wise Enough in Spending The Money. (n please dun label me as anti-government figure. Its surprising me tho, upon returning from Nottingham Meet-the-Minister event, i was been identified as a potential Hizbi@Perikatan member.)
n luckily, my english-look-attire saves me from being listed by the SBs. LOL.
Have a nice day to all

NO TEARS 4 Rumsfeld, please !!!
George Bush's electoral woes and the subsequent resignation of Donald Rumsfeld was widely greeted yesterday with gloating, tinged with concern at the impact of a weakened presidency on issues ranging from trade to Iran.
While many countries declined to comment formally, leftwing governments and opposition parties, particularly in Europe, welcomed Mr Bush's setback. The sense of relief was echoed by religious leaders, analysts, and voices from the street in the Middle East and Asia.
Romano Prodi, the Italian prime minister, was optimistic. "The resignation means a speeding up of the change in US politics. We will see in the coming weeks what will be the new direction."
There was less optimism in Iraq. Nadim al-Jabiri, an academic and member of the United Iraqi Alliance, said of Mr Rumsfeld: "I don't think his resignation will have an effect on the ground, as our problems are too great."
Fattah al-Sheikh, an MP from the alliance led by Moqtada al-Sadr saw the resignation as a sign of defeat. "The US administration has decided to change its agenda for Iraq. Rumsfeld has become the scapegoat for the change to take effect. I expect [US ambassador Zalmay] Khalilzad to follow him in a matter of days." A spokesman for the French foreign ministry, the most prominent critic of the Bush administration in Europe, particularly over Iraq, said: "No comment. It is a domestic matter for the US." But Laurent Fabius, a former prime minister and candidate to head the Socialists in next year's presidential election, said: "A lot of Americans have realised that Mr Bush has lied to them."
More than 200 Socialist members of the European parliament issued a statement calling the results "the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world". The ruling Spanish Socialist party welcomed the result, saying the party hoped it would "help to change the course of US foreign policy". Concern for a weakened Bush administration was reflected by Denmark's prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who hoped the president and Congress would find "common ground" on Iraq and Afghanistan. He added: "The world needs a vigorous USA."
Arabs relished Mr Bush's setback, but had little hope that it would mean a significant change in US policy in the Middle East. "There will be a feeling that justice has been done partly, although not completely," Mustafa al-Sayyid, a political scientist at Cairo University, told Reuters. In Israel, some analysts expressed concern that political deadlock in Washington might distract attention from problems in the region, primarily Iran. A Palestinian government official said that it did not matter to Palestinians whether Republicans or Democrats were in power.
Iranian state television said in a commentary that the Republicans suffered losses because of "Bush's wrong strategy in the Middle East" as well as "financial corruption in the United States". In Pakistan, an opposition parliamentarian, Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, hoped for more. Mr Bush "deserves a Saddam-like death sentence", he said. The Chinese government is concerned that the Democrats, who champion protection of US jobs, will create obstacles to free trade.
Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan president and arch-critic of Mr Bush, said: "It's a reprisal vote against the war, against the corruption. This fills us with optimism."
p/s: Due to my extreme hatredness to dis two figures, I wish not 2 insert their pics here. They dun deserve even a space in my blog...

CaNt taKe Dat aWaY
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
They can do anything they want to youlf you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have, I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach
Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

Speaking of which, I sat 4 a Multi Task Accuracy Test (MTAT) held by Royal London. All I cud say - I screwed da test. (susah giler babas ....gilerr arr.. tahap gaban punyer susah) in da end, am not hoping 2 get high marks and not even surprised 2 learn I'll fail ... uwuaaaaaaaaaaa
4) My weekends r occupied
Yeah ... social time
As I received countless guests over da weekends, I got 2 entertain them and of course MYSELF. Since, my frens come from all around da uk, it wud be pointless if we spend put sat's nite at home doing nothing (bukan ada AF or OIAM pung). In short, we went out n chill out - have fun. Yeah, da whole saturdays nites. (mlm minggu arr katakan). I guess u probably wud know wat we were up to. LOL.
As 2 grant my faraway fren's wish, I list down da premises we went and spent
{essentials,axm,the queer, via posa, new york, hollywood studio and lounge (yg nie paling gempak n happening}
thanx 2 all 4 rawking my weekends nites in Manc (amoun, u satisfied now?)
p/s: in order to respect da holy month of ramadhan, we decided to cut-off all weekend nites..semayang terawih gitewww..

Y am i missing? Wat have I done? Gud questions tho
1) Work ... work ... work ...
When I got home, I am already extremely saturated and exhausted, which result in my mood diving down 2 da bottom, preventing me 2 write and generate ideas from me mind. Hey, I've got some hot burning + boiling hot news ere. I met sumone @ work. We stayed frens till now n da gud part is dat - He makes me 4get 'bout sum1 n restore da rejoice in my life. He teaches me to 'live 2 da day' and 'no worries' thumbrules. Miss him terribly now. =)
2) Movie addictive syndrome
I dun know y but i've to admit dat i keep meself bz during da nites watching movies and films (romance i wud say) n to Mr Jonathan Scott, puh-leasssssssssssssseee, ther arent girlish thingy yeah!!! They r indeed da touching ones .. OUCH>>> LOL butt its true (tangkap leleh beb). I need 2 say dat amongst da fav movies which I cant get my eyes off are
If Only featuring Paul Nicholls and Jeniffer Love-Hewitt
A Walk To Remember starring Shane West and Mandy Moore
A Cinderella Story acted by Chad Michael Murray and Hillary Duff
n I rate 5 ***** 4 each of those.
3) Job Hunting
Yeah, dis needs most of my attention and care

A Toast ... A Rejoice
Love is always patient and kind
It is never jealous
Love is never boastful nor conceded
It is never rude or selfish
It does not take offence
It is not resentful
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins
but always delights in the truth
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure ... whatever comes

When A Story Ends, A New Story Begins
TraLaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...
Dear all,
Due to countless requests from all of u (terharu seh !!!), please find enclosed with are some of my graduation pics.
Da commemorative ceremony of a 3 year-war took place on July 6 2006 (tahun hijriah x sure arr plak -hehe-) in Whithworth Hall, University of Manchester (4 those who dun know where Manchester is situated, just think its 3 miles away from te Manchester United pitch.). Hope da info helps =)
So here it is, I finally G-R-A-D-U-A-T-E-D !!! Fullstop. Dot. Khalas.
Graduation isn't a guarantee 4 a smooth successful life ahead. Yet, its da opening gate 4 da next remaining chapters in my life storybook. It wont promise u a gud job, either luxorious mansions and 4-wheel-transporters, even a beautiful cutie wife like (Datin) Siti Nurhaliza, cuz dere lies loads of efforts to be taken and done ...
BUT,
Graaduation means a F-R-E-E-D-O-M !! Freedom from books, journals, library, exams -yihaaaaaaa- , and da bloody expensive tuition fees (mahal nak mum-push !!!)
YET,
I must admit, student life is da most enjoyious time I ever had. I'm free to express and to access, to explore and to adore (kat sape ntah). Hihi
AND,
I swear with all my heart I'm gonna miss all those moments 4 eva..
Uwuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....
MUM n DAD, dis is 4 U,
-Wan Zokhri Wan Idris (LL.B) Hons-
TO ALL ME FRENS N MATES,
We r graduating n we know, our lives will be different n niu,
We r goin' out 2 into da world, our goals and dreams 2 pursue.
But one thing, will never, ever will change, as we go into our separate ways,
Da frens we made in uni, will be our frens for da rest of our days.
Da special ties n attachments we've made, these bonds will never be broken,
We''ll continue to feel da closeness, though words may not be spoken.
So its not a "GudBye", but rather "Farewell", as I'll c u again my fren,
Ur frenship means a lot to me, n it will never end.
TO A PERSON NAMED ZACK IDRIS,
Keep on learning, dearie zackie
though ur graduation's done
Ur whole life's an education
Dat has only jut begun
Ur degree os da 1st step
4 knowledge is a special key
2 winning wat u want in life
n being who u wanna be
If u'll alwiz be a student
U'll find da secret of success
n travel on da golden road
2 a fortune, peace n happiness
DA REST,
Enjoy da pics, yeah.
