The Boss (Thursday, 09 Dec)
Tis' the season to be jolly. Not for me though.
Spent days consoling SMN. We broke the news on the 'real' deal. But the one-who-cannot-be-named arm-twisted Big Boss. Kena-la we all. So balding-museum-aficionado won. End of story.
Spent another day consoling KJ. He tried to bring down NA a notch or two but the wily old man had a few tricks up his sleeves. Now have to pretend that nothing happened. I gently advised him to say "I'd been misquoted" repeated....
Santarina aka the Secretary dumped a bag full of letters complaining why we mix local and foreign news together. We don't want to publish all that icky local news ... so, cannot-ah?
Don't they know our national feel-good policy? We aren't going to hype on Anwar, robberies, murders, police brutality, poverty, corruption and why half the states are in the red. Once our readers see how hell has broken loose out there, they will feel grateful.
Note to self:-
(1) Memo to Secretary - redirect letters to RR. Let him correct their English.
(2) Buy dinner for SMN
(3) Check contacts in JP - what else is AI doing in Jakarta?

Dear Mr Boss,
You really have no qualms about making it so obvious that you're a KJ paper, huh? I believe yours is the only one that featured him prominently (and what a wah-lau picture of him posturing as a aid worker) commenting about the Kelantan floods (check out the loud headline, too!).
And I thot you guys were supposed to be such masters of subtlety.
On a less sarky note, welcome back :)
And you can include me with those complainers.
BTW, FYI, I wrote about your blog and republished your 'last' posting on Suara PRM. I got a feeling no one read it though :(
darlingz,
My paper, so I can do whatever I like and put whoever I want in it. Jealous-ke? Go get your publishing permit la!
ps. Are you member of KMU??
