Addendum to the previous post

Here's an interview with Dr. Osman Bakar in Berita Minggu. Dr. Osman is a highly esteemed Malaysian Islamic intellectual whom I've had the pleasure of knowing for quite some time especially during my stint in Washington, DC when he was teaching at Georgetown University's Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. I have learned so much from him from his bi-weekly usrah and our countless conversations on Islam and Malaysian politics. Truly an intellectual idol of mine. I also have to say that his wife, Kak Bada, is a phenomenal cook, especially when she makes her native nasi kandaq and laksa penang.

The link is a rusty one, what a way to put a damper on things. The next time you write such a moving post that it gets people to be wanting to read it, check the link out to make sure it is correct hahahhaha

The whole cartoon issue - . That's as far as I would go. I can't seem to say any more.

Hello to you too. Have a nice day, Rocket.

Well, that's too bad. Not you, but the cheap-ass, non-user-friendly Berita Harian website. Considering the amount of support they get from the gov't, especially from their patrons in UMNO, they can definitely afford a much, much bigger server to archive all the news and keep the link alive. Anyway, I should have posted the whole interview, instead of just the link.

Well, how the hell have you been? You didn't talk much about your near-death encounter with the protesters at Wisma Denmark the other day.

Also, have my brother call you yet? If not, then he should have since he is supposed to drop something off by your house.

I'll talk to you later.
