Dear Unique Visitors,

A lot of people were surprised when they discovered that this blog was run by one person, not a team of writers. It still is.

Visits and views by month
From mid-2006, when Rocky's Bru was born, I have posted some 3,050 articles and 128,000 comments (not counting the over 54,000 spams). There are another 50 posts that the Courts wanted "hidden" to facilitate a defamation case against me in 2007. The Courts didn't tell me to delete them so, yes, they are still there in the system.

I have continued to run this blog because it's what I am, or have become. And because you, dear Unique Visitors, have continued to stop by to read, drop a comment or two, and kept this blog alive and kicking. Some of you have also made it a habit of dropping me a line whenever I decided to take a longer-than-usual break from blogging.

To all of you out there, thank you. I don't know about you, but I think I'm still up for one or two more ... Salut!

Bumi-no-quality analyst says "I was out of the country ..."

Why he took his time to clarify his Bumiputera-no-quality statement, according to Lim Mah Hui:

"I was out of the country when the article appeared in early October and it was only brought to my attention on October 17 after my return. I immediately contacted the journalist to correct the misunderstanding ..."

The article was published by The Malaysian Insider On Oct 2 (see screenshots below). Lim's quotes offended a lot of Malays and Bumiputeras - from the PKR Wanita Chief who accused Lim of stereotyping to former PM Dr Mahathir - and Lim's best, belated response is his office in Kuala Lumpur only informed him of the bad, bad press back home only when he came back!?

"Weird," writes seasoned writer Shamsul Akmar.

Weird or not, I'd expected more from Lim and his think-tank. This I'm-out-of-the-fucking-country excuse is so lame, No different from the traffic-jam excuse that people give when they are late for an appointment. You call that quailty, ah, Mr Lim?
