Wishing everybody a pleasant Deepavali!

Dr Munawar Ahmad Anees

"They wanted to fix details and asked me to choose a month. I could not because there had never been any homosexual relationship between me and Anwar. There was nothing for me to choose." 

Dr Munawar Ahmad Anees, The Gestapos of Mahathir's Empire

I was reading about Dr. Munawar Ahmad Anees' experiences with the ISA in 1998. I am truly disturbed about the whole thing. Again, I want to express my disgust and now my fear about the brutal tactics of the ISA. 

After reading the 10 part article, I don't think I will have the courage to endure the dehumanization that Dr. Munawar went through. I can only wish him to have inner peace after that humiliating incident. 

I have included the entire 10 part article's links below. I admit that I haven't yet finished reading Dr. Munawar's recollections. Maybe I will once after I psyched myself up. 

Meanwhile, this is RPK's 44th day at Kamunting.

Friday Night Movie 1 - Iron Man

I just bought the Iron Man DVD today! This is the best film of 2008 to me. I like it particularly because the story-line is faithful to its comic book original. Marvel Comics apparently financed this movie so that it can control the direction of their characters. They want to avoid fiascos like Ang Lee's Hulk and other shows like Daredevil ( Ben Affleck? C'mon!) Ghost Rider and Elektra.

Robert Downey Jr's portrayal as billionaire-inventor Tony Stark is superb! He is exactly how the comic book character is suppose to be. To me, this show is da bomb!

  

After I'm done with this, I'm gonna watch The Incredible Hulk next!
