Datuk Lee Chong Wei is a Malaysia badminton player who is representing Malaysia because he is the best player in the singles contested in tournaments sanctioned by our government.
Does the Miss Malaysia is the most pretty or most smart girl in Malaysia for her to carry the Miss Malaysia title? Besides, beauty contest itself is a profit-oriented commercial activity which is nothing to do with Malaysia official function.
No private organization should be allowed to use “Malaysia” name to mislead the public that they are sanctioned by the Malaysian government. There was an incident where a Malaysian beauty contestant apologized to Filipinos on behalf of Malaysia during a regional beauty contest held in Manila several years ago.
There are provisions in the Malaysian law for the authorities to take action against any organization missuses “Malaysia” in their commercial promotion.
The contestants in any beauty contest could call themselves Miss Pussycat or any name, but never Miss Malaysia whatsoever.
There’s only Malaysian beauty, says Mumo director
KUALA LUMPUR: The Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation (Mumo) has rebuked an article by International Business Times (IBTimes) on the selection of the Miss Universe in this country.
Mumo national director Andrea Fonseka said the article, published on July 14, was unjustified to Malaysians and uncalled for, adding that it clearly showed the writer’s ignorance towards the multi-ethnic background in Malaysia.
“Yes, predominantly we are Malay, Chinese and Indian. But we also have so many other ethnic groups.

“So don’t draw judgment on the society’s culture and country that you don’t know about,” she said in an exclusive interview with Bernama here yesterday.
The article, titled “The Politics of Beauty: Is Malaysia’s Miss Universe Contestant Too White?”, had specifically picked Malaysia as one country that had tended towards fairer-skinned beauties to represent the country in the Miss Universe pageant, while the selection had also become more westernised in recent years.
It raised doubts about the “Malaysianness” of Penang-born Kimberly Leggett, winner of the Miss Malaysia 2012 and of a Caucasian-Eurasian parentage, who was deemed too white for a Malaysian by the writer.
“For me, your cannot crown a girl just because she is ‘too white’ or based on the skin colour.
“We crown a girl because she deserved it and to discriminate against fair-skinned girls because they don’t look Malaysian is detrimental,” Fonseka said.
The leggy beauty, who was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia in 2004, is also of mixed parentage herself.
She also said there was no Malaysian look, only Malaysian beauty, and that the writer should have defined what was Malaysian look to justify the report.
The article also criticised Mumo’s move to introduce a reality television show concept as part of its selection process.
While defending the concept, Fonseka said it would allow the public to follow and get to know the contestants’ real personality better before they take to the stage.
She added that the concept, which was introduced last year, would continue this year, with some adjustments.

Something is fishy for me, if the supply is more than demand as claimed, the price of fishes in the market should be much lower than now.
As far as I know, Malaysia still import million tonnes of oceanic fishes from Myanmar and Thailand each year to meet local consumption on seafood.
Excess supply of fresh water and oceanic fishes cater for export market does not help to lower the fish prices consumed by the normal rakyat.
Malaysia achieves self-sufficiency in fish
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has achieved self-sufficiency in fish to satisfy the needs of 28 million people in the country, said Fisheries director-general Datuk Ahamad Sabki Mahmood.
He said the national fish catch had reached 1.3 million tonnes, compared to a requirement of 700,000 tonnes annually.
Ahamad Sabki said the positive development had allowed the local fish catch to be exported, especially good quality fish like the hybrid grouper and red snapper, and prawns, thus increasing the national income.
He was speaking to reporters after opening the Fisheries Department- meet-the-media programme, here.
At the event, he also announced the 2012 Fisheries Department Adventure Programme with the Media, which would be held from July 5 to 8.
He said the locations included the research and development focused areas involving the Fisheries Department in Perak, Kedah and Penang. – Bernama

Bugatti Veyron retail price is RM4.81 million and with 200% import duty for luxury car, the total selling price in Malaysia is RM14.43 million. The road tax itself is RM 24,598.50.
Who is Salina, the car owner printed on the road tax sticker.
We Malaysians should be proud with Mokhzani for showing the world that Malaysia is a rich country to import Bugatti Veyron.

 The used cooking oil is poured into a filtration container for filtration, "cleaning," deodorisation and bleaching. On the left is Frederick Deo. Photo courtesy: Sin Chew Daily There are three problems I see in cooking oil scandal in Bolehland,
1. Used cooking oil collected from the restaurants supposed to be used for biodiesel processing only, but they are mostly ending up on the dining tables in your home, local hawker centers and restaurants.
> 1 kg cooking oil packaged with plastic bag is the most susceptible with recycled cooking oil.
2. Cooking oil is used repeatedly beyond the allowable cycle in fast food restaurants.
> This is another good reason to boycott fast food chains after the beating customer incident in KFC.
3. Roadside fried banana hawkers used the melted plastic straws to change over-used black color cooking oil back to its original fresh color.
> Don’t be fooled by the fresh color cooking oil in the wok.
Sin Chew special edition highlights the magnitude and seriousness of recycled cooking oil in Malaysia and its risk to public health.

I used to buy Kurnia car insurance from an agent who is my childhood friend in kampong.
Kurnia was asking purchaser with more than 10-year old car to buy extra personal insurance if you insist to buy a third-party car insurance. They have given tons of excuses to force you to purchase first-party insurance policy.
The insurance agent (his wife) treats her customer like a king when you insure RM50,000 with a first-party insurance and dumps the customer when you only want to insure RM10,000 with a third-party insurance.
I have to say my childhood friend will never get a single cent insurance business from me again.
Since both Kurnia and my childhood friend (actually is his wife handled the administration matter) showing suck and unprofessional attitude if you only want to insure an old car with a third-party insurance.
So, I has decided to purchase this year car insurance from Tony’s finance company, www.tunemoney.com.
No question asked for buying a third-party car policy with insured value of RM10,000 and the whole process took less than 10 minutes. JPJ confirmation notice was delivered to my mailbox on the second working day.
Saved more than RM100 compared to a first-party insurance from Kurnia!
Tony Fernandes, a billionaire does not need my free promotion for his company. I posts tune money service here is to help those car owners who are facing similar problem with me.
If you know other good local online insurance portal, feel free to update here.
