Hollywood Celebs’ Gossips

From Malaysia Insider:

Malaysia has allowed hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas [band members including will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie] to play at Arthur’s Day in Sunway Lagoon on Sept 25 — one of four official global spots celebrating Guinness Stout’s 250th anniversary — but only for non-Muslims.

The Information, Communication and Culture Ministry had put in this condition, apart from telling the brewery not to put any logos or sell the bitter-sweet brew at the concert which also features local act Reshmonu, several bands and deejays.

It is learnt that music concert rules disallow breweries or alcoholic drinks makers from sponsoring such events but the ministry relented as the concert is expected to boost the tourism industry affected by the recession and the A(H1N1) flu outbreak.

A sentence in the local Arthur’s Day website — www.arthursday.com.my — states the event is only for non-Muslims aged 18 and above. The concert at the Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach costs RM103 an entry [1USD~3.5RM].

It sounds somewhat ridiculous one is barred for a music event just because of his/her religion. I won’t suspect the rules of Malaysia’s Culture Ministry would affect the sales of BEP concert tickets.

Zambry Abdul Kadir, the usurped Chief Minister of Perak in Malaysia since February 6, was ruled illegitimate by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday May 11. Writing in an blog post after the court ruling, Zambry likened himself to South Africa’s Nelson Mandela and India’s Mahatma Gandhi.

“Nelson Mandela sacrificed his freedom for 27 years in order to free South Africans from the grip of ‘apartheid.’

“Gandhi also sacrificed his life for the sake of India’s independence and so his people would be able to live without caste or religious boundaries,” he said.

Dr Zambry said however that it was lucky for him that his struggles had not caused him physical harm or loss of freedom.

Zambry Abdul Kadir, shame, shame, shame! Yes, you did not suffer the physical harm or loss of freedom, but because of your dramatic political antics in Perak, some Malaysian people has suffered what what you did not suffer, sure you know Google right? Search tear gas perak protest and black may 7 ipoh, perak!  “What Zambry meant is that he was totally the opposite of both Mandela and Ghandi.” KeenWatcher_01 commented on Lim Kit Siang Blog.

Update: Zambry had denied he compared himself to Mandela and Gandhi. He accused the media of having wrongly interpreted his blog entry.

Hee Yit Foong, a Malaysian female politician, is a key figure of recent Malaysia Perak Politics-Constitution Crisis. Hee Yit Foong’s controversial political switch from the opposition to the ruling Barisan Nacional has made her become the most unpopular and hated woman among Malaysian Chinese community. Hee’s defection has long rumored because of her greed to be an executive councilor of Perak State in te previous Pakatan Rakyat Goverment and her unsatisfaction that she didn’t receive a Toyota Camry as the official car. Now it seems at least one of her desire could be entertained. Chinese daily Kwang Wah Yit Bao is reporting May 10 that Hee is to be promoted to an exci councilor in charge of social and welfare affairs. Sure, Hee Yit Foong will be damned even much more by the infuriated Malaysian Chinese. Wait and See! (more…)

Hilmi Malik, full name Hilmi Hazimin Abdul Malik, is the former boyfriend of Elizabeth Wong. Hilmi Malik has brought the endless embarrassment for Wong because he was alleged of having photographed her in the intimate positions without permission and leaked them to the bad hands, probably her political enemies. It was said Hilmi took those photos in order to prevent Eli Wong from breaking up with him. Since the Malaysian media ran the story of Elizabeth Wong photos scandal in February, Hilmi Malik, from Ampang Jaya of Kuala Lumpur, was nowhere to be seen, probably having fled to Indonesia. He is wanted by the Malaysian police to investigate on the scandal.
