葉新田這次算是押對寶了。
葉新田堅持要把所謂關丹獨中的批文公開，終放有林放把批文貼上網，果然內容是只批準建私營國中。
８月２２日那天，世華媒體旗下的四家中文報都引用林放的部落格上貼的批文內容，都說內容是從林放的部落格來的，不過讀者要自己上網去林放的部落格才看得到批文內容。
這是林放貼上批文內容的那頁部落格：

（有不少人在林放的部落格留言駡他是馬華的第一把交椅謀士，我對這馬來半島的生態比較陌生，但看林放平時在華文報上的專欄，我也很懷疑林放是馬華的五毛。）
在８月２２日之前，葉新田和鄒壽漢已經說批文內容根本是要華人去辦私營國中，而方天興和華文報都在駡葉新田，說他在搞沙文主義，批文根本無需公開。
可是林放這一貼上網，全國的人民都看到了，華文報馬上在８月２２日轉口風，把焦點轉到批文是要關丹人去辦私營國中這一點上；之前駡葉新田要公開批文是在攪亂的話都忘了。
我其實並不喜歡葉新田。之前新紀元換校長的風波，大家肯定記憶猶新。而且一路來他很多時候都是一副在巴結權貴，不敢大聲爲華教發言的樣子。但這陣子他大概是看到大選快到了，膽子也大了，一直很硬很大聲。他要求關丹批文披露的行爲，在批文曝光之後都成了英雄行徑。在關丹獨中批文這一回事上，他算是押對寶了。
現在方天興和馬華都在死命的轉口風，死命的扭曲事實，馬華竟然還有臉說批文是批準關丹華社建獨中。 葉新田和鄒壽漢已經是英雄了，你們馬華越是嘴硬，越是笑話，還是認了乾脆。

What was that all about?
I read a column in the Sun(Malaysia) this week. And that columnist, while supposing to be writing a satirical column, took the matter to a bizarre level this week.
In his column this week, he wrote about how the Japanese are obsessed with the politeness that bowing is a reflex in their daily life. OK, I got that. But then he went on to say that so escalator rides are dangerous because of that, because accidents happened due to people bowing on moving escalators. Huh? Did we ever read/hear about any news like that? Get real.It is one thing to make fun of journalists from US who think that US is the center of everything and people just live their lives around every little thing that happens in US (he wrote about that in the last US president election year), but to exaggerate the local decorum of a foreign nation into something that is the main cause of accidents, is he a real journalist? Like people actually fell down escalator because of bowing? Did he even did any research? I googled and found no old news story like that, ever. He is working for a real newspaper (by Malaysian standard), certainly he can do a better research on the matter than me. So did he offer any case in point? No. The whole piece reads like he was just making fun of the decorum of a foreign nation that he most likely never visited, or even watched any nation tourism/image promotional tv programmes from that country. What is wrong with that man?

Smokey white day again!
It is white again. Looking out from where I live, the air is white. Yes, the air is white, smokey white. It had been like these for days. Actually since late June this year, we should consider ourselves lucky, at least this is not an all year round thing this year.
What am I going on about? The 'HAZE' in the air over Peninsular Malaysia. I have no idea what it is like in East Malaysia, as I do not get anything about that from the news. And we all know what we got from the news is really limited.
What is 'HAZE'? It is the smoke from the burning forest in Indonesia. Now even the Singaporean bureau of weather had limited public access to their website, to keep their satellite photos from being viewed by unwelcomed parties.
In the news, the thick, white smoke in the air is called 'HAZE', it is wrong to call it smoke, because according to who or what? it is not smoke.
And what a caring government and news media we have in Malaysia, on tv they are calling people to drink lots of water, reduce the outdoor activities, etc., etc..
We know, we have years of experience. We are not even allowed to call smoke for what it is 'SMOKE'. Only in Malaysia.
