LOCAL NEWS- The People Want to Focus Says Badawi

KUALA LUMPUR-Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the people decide what they want and although some may be concerned with his differences with the former premier, he says that most people are looking forward to development projects that would come on board by the middle of next year.

‘People are focusing on my work’ says the Prime Minister, and not on the spat between him and Tun Mahathir. He is of the opinion that he still remains popular and that the people are not divided on this issue.

Malaysians have agreed that his arbitrary statement is true. "He is a total mind-reader."says Govinda Jeyaratnam, 43. "Those two words, focus and work are on our minds."


In a survey conducted to identify the specific details of what "work" Malaysian's want to "focus" on, the polls revealed that:

i- 32 percent want to "focus" on Jessica Alba's body and maybe her "work".

ii- 24 percent want to "focus" on killing the queue-cutters who stop them from
getting to "work" on time.

iii- 36 percent want to "focus" on getting some damn "work".

iv- 8 percent want to "focus" on porn. And not "work."


As reported by a source the Prime Minister googled the word "work" and "focus", added up the number of sites, and made his conclusion without following up on the links.

FRONTPAGE- Khalwat Raid On Non-Muslims

KUALA LUMPUR-Breaking down a few times towards the course of the interview, the Petronas Ad Chinese Kid (who would like to remain anonymous) related tearfully on how he was harassed by religious department officials during a 4am khalwat raid on his house. Speaking at the MCA Public Complains Bureau, he related the incident which have rendered him sleepless for the past 2 nights.



In the raid, religious officers continuously banged on his door, insisting that he opened up. He was accused of concealing a Malay girl in his room at that time, which he vehemently denied.


The department officials claimed that they have hard evidence that he has been doing some "immoral activities" with the Malay girl since at least 4 years ago, and they forced him to produce the girl in the early hours of the morning although he insisted that he doesn't know where she is now.


"It was only a commercial, for crying out loud! How am I supposed to know where she is now?"




He insisted that he's a Buddhist, but the religious department officers apparently snapped back at him "You lived in a Malay kampung area and flirted with a Malay girl. You are definitely a Muslim, don't lie!", to which he retorted "That's not even my real house!".



The officers remained unconvinced, but left after harassing him for several hours.



Michael Chong, head of the MCA Public Complains Bureau, expressed extreme disgust at this invasion of privacy. The religious department, however, defended their khalwat raid.


A religious department spokesperson said, "We acted on a tip-off based on hard evidence which we have received (see Exhibit A below), and we can safely say that we have at least 8 million reliable witnesses to his crime of khalwat who have seen him doing it again and again. In addition to him denying that he's a Muslim, we're planning to charge him for apostasy as well".



The department insisted that they're not intentionally targeting non-Muslims in misguided raids. "All our raids are conducted based on excellent intelligence information. For instance, we were planning to nab this guy, 'Jason'. We also had video evidence of him commiting khalwat, and all we needed to do was to find out his surname and his house address. "


"We were on the verge of obtaining a Syariah Court order to subpoena Yasmin Ahmad for information relating to his whereabouts, but at the last minute, our intelligence-gathering team discovered that 'Jason' died in a motorbike accident. Hence, we did not pursue that case any further."


"As you can see, the religious department is very meticulous in our procedures, and we do not simply pick on random targets with poor bits of information."

LOCAL NEWS- Scientists complain and leave.

KUALA LUMPUR- Recently the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry published an internal report citing reasons for the poor state of scientific innovation in this country.


"The scientists are whiny bitches." Says one unnamed source.



A staggering amount of 70 foreign scientists and 22 local scientists this year have not renewed their contracts with local universities and research programs, despite having been given what has been said to be "pretty sweet deals".


The programmes ensured allowances for housing, relocation and schooling for scientists families. In addition to this it also included return airfares to their home country and medical benefits.



However the scientists have not duly appreciated these benefits and have raised numerous complaints about other issues which were deemed by the Ministry as "quite irrelevant". These complaints include:


a) poor research infrastructures -

current locations used by scientists
i- A broom cupboard in UKM
ii- Discarded cages from Zoo Negara
iii- Lim Kit Siang's kitchen


b) a critical shortage of scientists and support staff with required research experience;

-an example of this has been the hybrid tree research team of University Malaya, which consists of one German scientist and three confused Bangladeshi men. They thought that they were there to pick the fruit.


c) cumbersome administrative procedures to procure research equipment;

the procedures are reportedly:

step one- file a request to the head office

step two- fill in the necessary forms

step three- journey to Mordor, defeat the Uruk-hai and throw the ring into the Cracks of Doom.


The Ministry has not announced as of yet if they are to cater to these selfish and blatantly whiny complaints.

FRONTPAGE- DAP and Zakaria supporters face-off

KLANG- Today a near-bloody scuffle ensued between members of the DAP (Democratic Action Party) and the supporters of Datuk Zakaria Mat Deros.



DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng, led a 300-man procession to protest outside the residence of the UMNO division chief. After realizing that the latter and his wife, Datin Zizah Ngah were not at home they began chanting anti-Zakaria slogans.



When Zakaria's supporters came on the scene to stop this public protest, it started a physical confrontation from what had initially began as a mere oral demonstration.

picture- the funniest use of the word "fracas" in human history. we dare you to refute this.

Onlookers are divided on which side actually started the fight, but all agree that the Zakaria's supporters emerged victorious.


Some say that this was due to the fact that the DAP members were "middle-aged unfit men", while some DAP members have refuted this point by saying that they were simply caught off guard.


"They werent ready for a fight. If they had known you would have seen some kung-fu ass shit man."says one source.

It is a proven fact that all Chinese know kung-fu.


However most agree that one reason is that Zakaria's supporters mainly consisted of several barnyard animals, and a few creatures from the endangered species list as identified by the the WWF (World Wildlife Fund.)



Members of the DAP have also stated that it was difficult to engage their opponents in battle as the few homosapiens involved were active participants of the Special Olympics. "My mother say cannot hit people that cacat one." says one bystander.


They were reportedly enlisted under the category "Spelling and Reading Deficiency" which experts state is practically an incurable disease.


"But they are all still very special."

FRONTPAGE- Stand behind Badawi

Kuala Lumpur- Recently local authority figures have called out to Malaysians to cease from criticizing the government. They also urge that citizens stand strongly behind the Prime Minister for the good of the nation.


Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi has also commented on Tun Dr Mahathir's unrelenting campaign against the government, stating that the former is attacking with "stronger venom" and that the people also share his sentiment that it is baseless and that it should be stopped.



Scientists have pitched in this rally call for support, citing empirical evidence that criticisms upon the government may hurt the country and gradually bring it to its doom.


"It is as dangerous as real venom."



"Through our studies we have found that there will be extreme detriment to the Prime Minister, and of course the government as a whole if things go on as they are. And naturally if the government is affected, so are the people of this country."


He stated that criticisms lets off a certain wave that can only be detected by special equipment.

"And these waves might as well be nuclear waves, with the effect that they bring."


He calls them "negative germs". "To help the public understand how serious the problem is, we are releasing extremely detailed graphs."

picture- extremely detailed graph

"The red waves represent the criticisms that is directed towards the Prime Minister."


However they state that the public need not panic as there is still time to repair the harm that has been done.


"What the public can do in the interest of the nation is to praise and love the government. This will help cleanse the germs that have infested, and bring our country back to its natural state."

picture- extremely detailed graph 2

The pink waves signify the love shown from the people, he states.


"It is important that we do these measures as soon as possible, before we all meet our doom."


He also adds that there does not have to be a particularly good reason to give love and praise. "You can just say something nice about his hair."


"This is for the country. Citizens should forget about sincerity and their real feelings when this is at stake."

SEMI-INTERNATIONAL NEWS- Malaysia's new trade deal

With the greater influx of Nigerian businessmen and entrepeneurs to Malaysia, the government has decided to expand economic ties with Nigeria through a program of mutual trade exchange.



Under the agreement, Nigeria will continue to earn from Malaysia in the industries that they're best at - "profitable e-mail deals", while Malaysia will export our Magic Stone experts and Bomohs to Nigeria.



Nigeria has earned an estimated RM2.43 million last year by co-operating with Malaysians through their Nigerian "Business deal" E-mails.


"There are so many trustworthy people here!" says Akuli Mbabwa. "And to think we managed to decide that only based on their email addresses!".

He stated that he woud like to personally thank chunkylover@yahoo.com, busybee@gmail.com and iamextremelygullible23@hotmail.com for their help in the transactions.


"They will be hearing from us soon".


With this new trade agreement in place, Malaysians in the same line of business will make their way to Nigeria to offer them Magic Stones and "traditional healing" services.



"The market here in Malaysia is saturated.", said Chen, 42, President of the Malaysian Magic Stone Sellers Association.



"Nigeria is full of sickly people with no access to proper nutrition. Most of them are at risk of getting weird diseases and cancer. There's no better industry that exploits people's poor health and fear of death than Magic Stones. Lagos itself has around 15 million people, of which almost 40% are elderly and rich (and most importantly, gullible). We expect to be able to make RM500 million from them in 3 months, flee the country for the rest of the year and return the year after for more prospecting".



Haji Hassan bin Haron, a leading "traditional medicine" practitioner from Gombak who also happens to be a serial rapist, welcomed the government's decision wholeheartedly. "Nigeria is lawless. We can get away with anything. Even if I charge a patient RM100 per treatment, they are more than willing to pay. They still rely a lot on witch doctors, and everyone has sex like monkeys. That's paradise!"



Commenting on this surprising forward-looking trade agreement, a MITI spokesperson explained that it's a part of the government's long-term plans. "



"Since Malaysia is poised to be world's largest coconut exporter by 2010, we have to ensure that we have a global monopoly over the world's coconut supplies. Nigeria is our only real competition. By embedding other Malaysian industries in Nigeria, we will be able to control their coconut output over time."


"Make no mistake, we will corner the world coconut market."

FRONTPAGE- "The Real Bumiputera's"?

KUALA LUMPUR- The announcement by Scientific Research Group stunned the nation this morning.


Apparently through long and extensive research their scientists have discovered a small ethnic minority which was not included in the Bumiputera classification by the government, as true people of the land.


They released a chronology of tribes that had inhabited the land "before" the arrivals of Malays to the archipelago.


"As known by most Malaysians the Orang Asli inhabited this island, way before everyone else." says Dr. Harish Mohammed.

picture- privileged Orang Asli

"And they have been given as much privilege and help as Malay Bumiputera's and other people falling into that category."


"But now there is evidence to show that they were not the first here."


Their findings were that the very first living being to have reached the shores of the peninsula was a cockroach named Joe.

The reinstatement of Joe's rights are being processed and since he and his kin were around for a longer period they are seeking to give them extra privileges.



"They should be given more than the 30 percent equity rights, and a larger budget for their religious schools and places of worship."



The New Bumiputeras apparently worship bits of cheese that are found on the floor. "Legislation should be made that the citizens of Malaysia respect their beliefs and stop sweeping their floors when cheese falls on it." says Dr Harish.

LOCAL NEWS- Police to hunt down evil people

KUALA LUMPUR- In concurrence with their roles as enforcers of justice, the police are setting up a special task force to track down what may be the very root of all evil.



1,426 young people have failed to turn up for National Service training. Reports have been circulated of the formation of a cult consisting of these very people.

This cult worships, what is reported to be a "god with horns". Experts speculate that this may be Satan, or an intimidating looking goat.




Pamphlets have been found with the basic tenants of its belief in various schools. It forbids;

i) the use of blue camouflage outfits in green surroundings
ii) spending long periods in jungles while listening to mindless drivel
iii) drinking milk




Due to the level of danger that this cult poses to society, the police are not holding back. "We do not have a special department to deal with this issue, but we have roped in investigating officers to form a temporary team to track them down.



In a final bid before the nation-wide crackdown, the police are calling upon the misled youth to turn themselves in.

"I advise all of them to report to the nearest police station or we will track you down." says Federal CID deputy director Datuk Mokhtar Hassan.



To date however none of the NS dodgers/cult members have responded to this final act of mercy. The cult is reported to call itself "People Who Really Have Better Things To Do."

FRONTPAGE- Government to create Super Teachers (Beta)

PUTRAJAYA- Proving that Malaysia is not behind in technology, the government has announced a new scientific innovation for the education system.


"We are going to create Super Teachers." says Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.



This move was made in response to growing concern over the standard of education in this country. “This is to ensure that the profession is regarded highly. We believe that these new Super Teachers will perform and live up to our expectations.”


Among features of these robotic wonders are improved skills of reading and writing, embedded mp3 players and tetris (new edition).


"They are like the Transformers, only smaller. And they cannot turn into cars."




He states that this feature will be included in the next edition. "This version is understandably at its beta stage. There are still a few things that have to be worked out." They have had a problem in programming the system to "motivate and communicate" with children.

picture- super teacher (beta)

"The initial programming was death and utter destruction, so sometimes they revert back to their old ways." He states that the robots were remnants of a failed government project to deal with public protests and littering.




"We thought that it would be a waste to simply throw away these "Robots of Doom", and decided to turn them into "Caring Robots of Education".




The new Super Teachers will be posted to all schools by the end of this year. The government firmly believes that this will accurately address the problems with the current education system.

LOCAL NEWS - New weight-loss program for Penan students.

LONG LELLANG (Ulu Baram, Miri): 106 students Penan boys and girls at Sekolah Kebangsaan Long Lellang have been chosen to test-pilot the governments new fitness program to address a growing problem of obesity among young people.


"It is a great success," says local health official, Bujang Mahmud.


"100 percent of the students have experienced rapid weight loss in just the first 6 months." The students are treated to a nutritious meal of papaya's and porridge once a day.




"Three meals a day is just a modern day greedy norm. Many people all over the world can even do just half a meal a day." The fact that these same people are also dying like flies is because of unhygienic practices, and not because of their lack of food.



"They dont wash their hands before they eat, those Africans."


He says that weighing lighter than a small cat is a healthy state to be in for children at that age.



picture- Penan students


The Penan and Kelabit parents, however, have not shown proper co-operation. Most parents secretly give their children rice, fish and vegetables when visting the school.


"It is outrageous." says one school official. "How can we reach the governments mission and vision when citizens do not co-operate."



Their lack of patriotism is appalling, yet officials are not worried as "these jungle people dont have that much food to give away anyway."


"What do you think the jungle is? Tesco?"


He says that the parents will give up eventually and "a nation of healthy, clever children will be born."

LOCAL NEWS- Killer emu's roam loose in Klang

picture-killer emu

KLANG- Killer emu's have been sighted in various areas in Klang Valley.


"We think that they escaped from one of the zoo's" says one local forest ranger, Hamid Hussein. The emu's are ingenious at concealing themselves from the naked eye. They conceal themselves in various rubbish heaps that can be found in the Klang area.


"Also, most people are too hungry to notice a killer emu this fasting month."




One unfortunate victim is Klang Umno Puteri chief Roselinda Abdul Jamil.


Killer emu's have a liking for human eyeballs. "It is a natural instinct for them. They come from the African continent, where eyeballs can be found everywhere because people die carelessly in random places." says Hamid. He admits that this is irresponsible behavior on the part of African people.

"They have created monsters."




Today, in responding to the barrage of criticisms concerning her appointment as municipal councillor along with her father-in-law and brother-in-law she announced the horrible tragedy that had befallen her.


"I cannot see." she said to the surprise of reporters.


picture- Roselinda, before the horrible tragedy.


Roselinda was attacked while at home with her father-in law, brother-in law, grandmother, maid, and Hassan, the family iguana, who are all coincidentally also Klang Municipal Councillors.





"This is an attack against the Klang Municipal Council."says Roselinda. There are no records of killer emu's having political aspirations. She says it may be her many political enemies or outraged citizens who let the killer emu's into her place of residence.


Her eyesight is damaged permanently. She may have her drivers license revoked, but this is not an issue with her as she has already hired a driver so as not to endanger other citizens. The driver will be nominated as Klang Municipal councillor in the next following year.




Referring to the unreasonable behavior of Klang residents who disagree with having all the members of her household in the Klang Municipal Council she says,“I do not see anything wrong as all of us were appointed councillors in our different capacities,” said Roselinda.


This, experts say is understandable as she has lost all capability of seeing after the vicious attack.

FEATURED- Mysteries of Ramadhan

KUALA LUMPUR-Latest statistics conducted by the Royal Malaysian Social Engineering Society has concluded that the Muslim population in Malaysia has become more obese and financially poorer during the fasting month. The findings have been met with some degree of confusion and widespread denial among Muslims.



56.4% of the Muslim population have gained weight by an average of 12.6% as compared to their body weight before Ramadhan. This development has left religious authorities and medical personnel baffled, as it appears that they have gained weight despite supposedly reducing their food intake during the fasting month.




"This is totally opposite to what one would expect. Normally, when a person fasts and consumes a moderate, balanced meal while breaking fast, he or she will actually lose weight and be more fit and healthy. But what we're seeing here is that they have become fatter!", says Dr. Tambhirajah Sivaseelan, head of the Dietary and Nutrition Department of Kuala Lumpur Hospital.


"It is a medical mystery."



Some however do not find it surprising. "I see the fella working at the garmen counter always sleeping only. I think they all fat because morning that time eat so much, rest of the day they sleep only". says Chen Tek Ong, 28.



His remarks are met with death threats from certain quarters, and Khairy Jamaluddin has promised to personally yell at his face with a megaphone to teach him not to insult Muslims.




Another unaccountable but unrelated phenomenon observed is that Muslims are running out of cash at a faster rate during the Ramadhan month. Some have attributed it to toyols. (Small, nasty, yet entertaining creatures.)





Prominent parapsychologist-cum-ghostbuster, Uncle Seeker, explained: "It is not impossible for toyols to be roaming free during the Ramadhan month."He says that other creatures of the night usually take time off from scaring random people as this is a holy month.


"Toyols however, do not give a damn."




UMNO Youth had an answer that they insist is more logical - the Jews are up to their nonsense again. Khairy issued a press statement today, saying "The evil international brotherhood of Jews and Zionists are taking advantage of the Ramadhan month to further oppress the Muslims by making our money vanish mysteriously".




In a poll conducted, it was found that 93.2% of Muslims admitted that they went broke faster during the Ramadhan month than they did in the earlier months. The only people immune to this are the traffic police.

FRONTPAGE- Plan to eradicate hardcore poverty by 2008

JOHOR BAHRU- Poor people everywhere are rejoicing because of the statement the Prime Minister made after breaking fast with Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman at Saujana yesterday.


He had announced that the government plans to eradicate hard-core poverty by 2008, instead of 2010 as planned.





Among other plans that have been fast-tracked are

-"Making schools less redundant" which will be implemented in 2011 instead of 2014. The government means to make it "Mildly useful" by the set date.



-Flyovers and other public construction works will be upgraded from "Concrete death traps that fall on random people" to "Cracked Pillars that Look Dangerous" by 2016 instead of 2013.



- Standard response time for processing documents for the public will be changed from "Whenever im in the mood" to "After you fill in 20 irrelevant forms, stand in line for 3 days and finally stab yourself in the eye out of hatred and anger" in 2009 instead 0f 2010.



- Plans for toll-free roads will be implemented "On a cold day in hell", instead of "Never while human beings still live and breathe on this earth".




The government will also continue its efforts to help the "relatively" poor.

No announcement has been made regarding the situation of people in the "kind of poor"and the "poor enough to hate you bastards" income bracket.

LOCAL NEWS- Superintendent was ordered to disrupt speech, not assembly.

KUALA LUMPUR- Asst Supt Anuar Jusoh, was questioned by the Suhakam panel of inquiry regarding his actions during the protest in KLCC regarding rising fuel prices.


He had allegedly flown a helicopter "dangerously close", and reports were made stating that the police had used "excessive force" to halt the gathering. The Suhakam panel is trying to determine whether human rights had been violated during the operation.



The Superintendent denied having had any intention to harm members of the assembly.

"We were given instructions to fly low to disrupt a person's speech, not the assembly."



He is part of the Special Covert Ops which specializes in dealing with "oral danger".

"The target was that evil talking mouth. Not the people around him." Criticisms have been made that a helicopter was an "inappropriate tool" to stop a man from talking. According to the ops Chief, (who shall not be named due to security reasons) they are trained to recognize and eliminate any "vocal threat".



"We have to use any means possible. In the past we have used harpoons, small rockets and elephants on performance enhancing drugs."

"It is important that citizens are protected from dangerous voices." he states.


He states that dangerous voices may cause harmful diseases. When asked what form of disease, he said it could range from temporary disorders such as bleeding from every orifice of the body for several hours, to terminal illnesses. "Like cancer... of the ass."

"The medical term is... assinificititis. Or "buttdenoonade".


"We will do everything within our power to protect the people. Sometimes excessive force is necessary."

(All writers of karipanas have been diagnosed with assinificititis. Readers who do not want to be infected are advised to avoid physical contact as this disease may be transmitted to anyone within hearing range.)

LOCAL NEWS- Ending the debate on public equity

KUALA LUMPUR- Tun Musa Hitam stated yesterday that the public debate on equity should end.


He said that he believes that it will soon spin out of control, as he has watched seemingly innocent arguments spun into highly emotional situations. "And the emotions in racial terms need to be managed with care." he states.



Responding to his comments, both sides of the fence have agreed to stop making public statements on the matter.


Apparently they have found a new method to convey their feelings that is deemed safe to use in volatile Malaysia.


"We are going to have a dance-off."



Similar to breakdance showdowns in 80's movies, they are donning on headgear and wrist warmers to prepare for what is likely to be an entertaining event. The criticizers of the EPU (Economic Planning Unit) findings have already started rehearsing their moves.


"Even though most of us are in our 40's, we still can "trip to the beat", says one representative from this camp.




Among moves that they have "nailed" are;

-the G-Kick, a kick with the legs and the arms forming a G shape:
which will signify the question "why arent you releasing the EPU data yet?"


-the Insane Corkscrew, a spin with the direction constantly changing:
which will mean "youre not answering our questions directly!"


-the Helicopter/Coffeegrinder/Ball-and-chain - a rotation of the legs while the hands are on the floor:

this will just be for showing off purposes.



picture- why arent you releasing the EPU data yet?


When asked if he had anything to say to his opponents, the message was;

"ITS ON BIATCH!!!!!!!"


(We could not reach representatives of the other camp for comments. Rumors state that they are debating on whether it would be concurrent with government policy to "keep it real".)

LOCAL NEWS- New Proton Cars For Police Officers

Proton has announced that they have decided to contribute to the crime fighting cause - by sealing a deal with the Royal Malaysian Police for over RM80 million on 2000 new Proton cars.


The Royal Malaysian Police will be taking delivery of 1000 Waja Campros, 500 Wiras, 400 Sagas and 100 Perdana V6s. Proton is also generously donating approximately 5000 unsold Proton Juaras (reported to have been unanimously voted the world over as the Ugliest Car of All Time) to be used as mobile road barricades.



picture- awarded The Ugliest Car of All Time


At present, the police have a fleet of 1,939 patrol cars and the average response time is about 12 minutes.


"We have some 3,000 policemen under special training for the mobile police vehicle unit and they will graduate next February," Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said at the handover ceremony at the Proton Centre of Excellence in Subang Jaya.



"When there's a free stretch of road anywhere in Kuala Lumpur, it takes 12 minutes for us to deploy 200 patrol cars to set up road blocks and create massive traffic jams. With the additional 2000 cars, we aim to streamline our system so that it takes us only 4 minutes to get the entire stretch of Jalan Sultan Ismail and Jalan Kuching to come to a standstill." he says proudly.




The fleet of new Proton Juaras, for which the 'special training' is intended, it will replace the task of everything from crash barricades to traffic cones.



picture- proton juara to replace traffic cones forever.

"The officers are given special training in order for them to be fearless. If there is a robbery, we will use a Juara fleet to stop the car. If we need to set up a road block and issue summons under 'reasonable suspicion', we can double-park an entire row of Juaras to narrow down the three-lane highway to one lane. "

"It's more effective and safer than setting up traffic cones".



UMNO Youth, however, is not as enthusiastic about this move. "With the new cars cops will run Mat Rempits off the roads for sure!"


"We have observed that on a typical week, a single police car runs over an average of 5 Mat Rempits. Having a total of almost 4000 patrol cars would mean having 20,000 less Mat Rempits every week. This will severely reduce the number of votes that we'll be getting by the 2008 General Elections!".



Tan Sri Musa Hassan, however, was quick to reassure the UMNO Youth movement: "You might get lesser votes from Mat Rempits, but don't forget that we still have postal votes. Rileks, brader."


(We were not able to reach Proton to respond to comments that this move was made to make up for poor earnings this year. We also do not know their telephone number.)

From the editor...

Greetings readers. Here are a few answers to questions that you have sent us.


a) Who are the members of the Karipanas Crew?

Please refer to my Welcome Post. And yes, Im serious.


b) Arent you guys afraid of getting in trouble?

No.


c) Who are these crab creatures?

They are crabs, but bigger. And with an evil agenda.


d) Are you a boy or a girl?

The important thing is I am not a crab.


As you can see, we work hard to please you readers.

The first announcement is that there will be an international news column, even though we say we specialize in local news (as stated in our side bar) we lie all the time.


Secondly, we have set up a poll at the side bar, and we hope you participate and vote. Multiple voting is allowed, because we also cater for readers with multiple personalities.



Recently there has been a lot going on in the news about "rempit raids". I personally detest these sub-humans, and for the first time in my life I agree with the government and the police. Since they are now on the "hate-list" I presume killing them will not result in any legal consequences.



Anyone who brings me the head of a "mat rempit" will be rewarded handsomely. Maybe a writer to use as a pet, or slave. Or table. Your choice. Limbs are also acceptable. When else can you release the psycho-killer inside you? Happy reading.

LOCAL NEWS- New Ways For Police To Fight Crime

GEORGE TOWN- Local curry producers have been mobilized to help the police fight crime.


Drug mules use an ingenious stealth technique to bring their goods across the border.


"We shove it in our ass."

Says one drug mule candidly.

Luckily however the local police are using a "local" technique to uncover the crime. One Zambian was forced to eat spiced curry, bananas, and other equally starchy foodstuffs until he naturally relieved himself and along with other disgusting paraphernalia 37 tubes of heroin was found.




Local curry producers are told to create "fiery concoctions of doom" to help the police in their efforts. One Kariappan, a chef in a local restaurant, said that he had never put so much chili in his dishes before. "No human can take that much spice without exploding in their pants." he says.




The police have had a track record for coming up with innovative methods to fight crime. Business areas around police stations are used to "unique" requests from these commanders of justice.



" If the police ask you for anything, you just give it to them." says Chin Teck Onn, an owner of a dog pound here in George Town. "Even if it is for a dog "who is probably in league with Satan."



picture- dog who is probably in league with Satan.



Chin says that he is not surprised with the way the police work anymore. "I am used to it. I have been here for 30 years, and I dont look amazed anymore when they buy pliers, scorpions and sharpened ice picks."


"But the screams. I just cannot stand the screams."

FEATURED- CNN Interview with The Prime Minister

Interview on CNN with Prime Minister of Moongonosea


The country Moongonosea is relatively unknown to other living breathing beings on earth. This is due to the fact that back then, somebody forgot to draw them on the map. This was typical behavior of the map draw-ers back then, being self-absorbed arrogant white men who were usually drunk or massacring people in the countries they were invading.


The country is currently lobbying aggressively to be included in the world map.

Robbie Neilson, a correspondent with CNN in an interview with Muchakaloonaiapanakla Goarkdkakhaks the newly elected Prime Minister of Mongonosea.




picture- a fax sent by the state Department of the Moongonesea, of the whereabouts of the country.



- What do you see as your greatest challenge in assuming the post of Prime Minister?


- The greatest challenge is in convincing people that we, the government always do everything in their best interest. Mongonoseans are very whiny, complaining people. They always criticize everything we do.

Whenever we issue a statement, they want proof of this, and that. It is ridiculous. They should be good citizens and believe in the government, always.




- Isnt that normal behavior for concerned citizens? How else do you maintain check and balance in your country if your citizens cannot question your motives and actions?


- If they are concerned, they should concentrate on building a better Mongonosea, work together with us, hand in hand.



- But then, how will they be sure that the government is always doing things that are good for them, or being fair?


- Because we are the government.



-But governments arent always right, they can make mistakes because they are run by humans who are susceptible to error. Shouldnt that be taken into account?

- We always make sure that our officials are not corrupt.




-But how can you always make sure, if people arent allowed to point it out? Apparently you even put people who do so in jail.

- We can make sure for ourselves. As I said we always do things for the best interest of our people. And we put them in jail, because they are a danger to our country.



- But what do you mean creating danger, since what they are doing is in the interest of their fellow citizens?

-Because there would be protests, and people would not put their trust with the government, and live in peace and harmony as they should.



- But arent protests a natural mechanism of a democracy, so as to ensure that the government is checked from abusing its power?


- Why should they do such things. We will always do what is best for them, and only that.



-But how can a citizen ensure that if he is not given the power to question his government?

- We have a motto "Greatness, Wellness, and Happiness". We will follow through with this motto.



-Ignoring the fact that that doesnt make any sense, what do you say to allegations from the opposition party that you are favoring your race, the Mojo-mojos in the distribution of wealth and opportunities in this country?

-The Mojo-mojos are the poorest ethnic group, we are helping the poor. It is not racist.



-But, according to statistics, the Ilaka-laka are the poorest ethnic group in your country.

- That might be true. But back then we were the poorest.




- Back then?

- After our independence from white men.




- Alright. But since that is different now, shouldnt there be more help for the poor Ilaka-laka's?-

- Yes, but you see they arent real citizens of this country. The white men bought them over in boats to work our coal mines, and then when the white men left we were stuck with them. So we let them stay.



- They arent registered as real citizens?

- Yes they are.



-But you just said that they arent real citizens?

-I said that they werent here from the beginning. My ancestors were.



-This is starting to get quite confusing sir. So, they are citizens but they dont get extra help because they werent here from the beginning?

- Exactly.



- But then isnt that quite unfair? As long as they are here, recognized as citizens, shouldnt they get equal rights?

-Everyone gets equal rights here in Mongonosea. Noone is marginalized. We let them celebrate their little religious celebrations. We visit each other and eat with each other.


-How does that relate to equal rights? That only means that they are allowed to celebrate their holidays. What of the idea of equal treatment in government subsidies, and welfare programs?

-We also allow equal treatment there too.



-But you just admitted that most of the money for your developmental policies go to the Mojo-mojos. And your economic and educational policies only favor the Mojo-mojos.

- Because the Mojo-mojos are still struggling. We need to help them.



- But your policies also largely help rich Mojo-mojos, who are already wealthy.

- This is because there is a need to make sure that there is the Mojo-mojos earn a large part of wealth in this country, to rival the Chanuagas, the richest ethnic group.



-Why the Mojo-mojos?

-Because this is their land. Our land, my ancestors land.



-Just for arguments sake, according to historical data, your ancestors took over land from another tribe, the Asliuans. Then shouldnt, by first come first serve basis, they be the main owners of wealth?

- That is too long ago.



-But you just said that was why your ethnic tribe was superior to the other ones.

-That is different, we were owning the land when they came here, and we let them stay.


-Sir, (LARGE SIGH) wont this differential treatment one day cause your citizens to feel discontent? Anger perhaps?

-They shouldnt feel that way. They know we have to do these things for the interest of our people.



-But why is it in their interest, when, as a citizen you are given less opportunities based on their race? How can it be in their benefit?

- Everything we do, we do it for our people. Our motto is "Together forever, Mission and Vision and Excellence Everywhere, for year 3010."


-What the fuck is that even supposed to mean you crazy git! Youre not answering the fucking question! ARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FRONTPAGE- The government is transparent on Equity

KUALA LUMPUR- Recently the Deputy Prime Minister stated that the government would release its methodology of estimating the current equity ownership of Bumiputeras.


“The statistics are not modified for the interest of any community. If it is necessary and there are doubts, we will release the data,” he said.


We have received, via a government informant (who shall remain anonymous) certain documents pertaining to the data.







Alas, the crab creatures strike again.

RAMBLINGS-Increase in price of Rubber

Those of you who follow the commodities market (so easily misinterpreted as the commode market) will be aware that the price of Rubber is at a record high. At Rm 8 a kg there is a noticeable Urban-Rural migration pattern as people rush back to the plantations to tap rubber.

This of course will have a ripple effect as more openings in the “pay them as little as possible and who cares if they starve” category of jobs in the big cities.

In addition, all the people who “balik kampung” to work will be eating up the fresh fruits and veggies and thus limiting the amount that can be sent to towns, thereby increasing the price of fibre, which will lead to an increase in the cost of living etc etc.

However, the big question that is ranging through the perverted minds of accountants and economic experts is… how will this affect the price of condoms?

After all, if the price goes up, youngsters might not buy ‘em, this might lead to unprotected sex which may lead to a population explosion which might cause soaring prices of everything else…

So… what price rubber? (You’ll only get that joke if you go for OLD style humour)

The choice to use latex depends on ones moralistic and religious beliefs. The Karipanas Crew does not have an official position on the use of condoms.

From the editor

Hello dear readers,


Today is slow news day, and we have only managed to churn out two posts. A lack of relevant local news on Sunday is one reason (we do not like repeating material unless there is a significant development, e.g. no more AP stories unless a swamp creature eats Dr Muhammad Abdul Ghani. Or he eats his son. Or something to that effect.).


Another reason is that the writers are lazy bastards.

We encourage submissions to this blog, as a means to create discourse with our readers. It can be snap-shots, taken with your handy camera phones, or articles that you found funny/interesting/disturbing.



Another announcement is that as per request of one of the readers, we will accept suggestions on issues that you, the reader, think is worth investigating. Our in-house spies (who are also professional trapeze artists) will look into the matter for you.


And please survey the contents on our sidebar which has been painstakingly put together by one of the members of our crew, who is suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome now due to his hard work on our blog. This is due to monkeys who keep on messing up the html.



To new readers, please read the rules in my welcome post. Profanity is allowed, we consider it a beautiful way of expressing yourself.


Happy reading, and we hope the news was good for you.

LOCAL NEWS- We support Fauzi, says religious leader.

KUALA LUMPUR- Takaful Malaysia's Syariah Department head Fauzi Mustaffar sent an e-mail to his staff earlier this month prohibiting them from extending greetings in conjunction with festivals such as Deepavali, Durga Pooja and Laksmi Pooja.


Since then he has been criticized publicly by numerous religious figures and public officials. Some have even called for his resignation.



However in this mass wave of protest, there are those who support his stance. A representative of the faith "Temple of Correct Dining-ware" or better known as "The Use the Right Dinner Fork You Heathen Bastards Religious Order" stated today that Fauzi's views are admirable.



picture- symbol of the "Temple of Correct Dining-ware"


"We preach the same thing in our faith. Our followers are forbidden from wishing holiday greetings to people of other less believable religions." He says that it signifies tolerance of their "false gods".




The religion also explicitly forbids the buying of holiday greeting cards. "Wishing a person joy and happiness while he celebrates his religion, means that you recognize that his demonic practice can bring joy and happiness. Therefore it means that you believe in that false god."

He says that even if that is not the intention, it would be an act supporting the deliverance of the misguided heathen to hell. "Which would be just as bad."he says sternly.




Among greetings that are forbidden are "Merry Christmas", "Selamat Hari Raya" (Happy Hari Raya) and "Selamat Hari Buruh" (Happy Labor Day). "Some of the more orthodox among us do not even wish infidels "good morning" as this would mean that they believe anything good could come out of their ridiculous religion."



"But I do not go so far as that. We still want to get along with everyone. We dont want to them to think we dont like them or anything like that." he says.


For more information on this religion, readers may consult the back of the boxes of cutlery and silverware under the headline "instructions".
