Not much to add on this video, except that the reason really why I’m putting it here is to highlight that such a group does exist, probably beyond Madrid. Girls on skateboards. Not just one or two, or a group, but that it’s probably far more widespread than what you see. Oh and to add a new point, on that probably ten years ago, the image girls with/on/near a skateboard was less than rare. And more so in this video, one was in a dress, which I’m sure you’re going to end up seeing more of. Either as a symbolic statement, or as a sexy approach to sell a message (i.e. pin-up/pinup girls).
A nice insight to that last point, check out a FB acquaintance of mine from Israel, Tali Shapiro, who runs a blog on pinup. Culture, politics, art and society, relating to the matter. She also writes for political blog PULSE.
*Thank you Ali Abdul Kader, long boarder from Singapore, for sharing video above.
Shortly, at 9.30am I’ll be on BERNAMA TV. And last night I did the talk at Bangsar Village* and above are two videos of me speaking at it. Click here to watch videos from other speakers. A few very good points were raised by Marina Mahathir and Sivin Kit. I’m not sure which video it is, but try looking for that video on that youtube channel.
As a member of the audience Niki Cheong asked a very good question/raised a very good point, if there’s any move to educate teachers about child abuse because to him parents and teachers who expect and impose upon their children to get straight As for example, is considered child abuse. He relates this story to his niece/nephew who was crying after receiving her UPSR results, because he/she didn’t receive top grades and the teacher was telling her about how she had told the student to focus on that subject.

Thank you Yeoh Ee Ping for taking the effort to record the session and promptly uploading it. Very much appreciated.

This is hilarious. Singer Siti Nurhaliza, political aide Huma Abedin, poet Suheir Hammad, composer A.R. Rahman, cricketer Imran Khan, footballer Zinedine Zidane, bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, anthropologist Talal Asad, rapper Mos Def, writer Reza Aslan, diva Umm Kulthum, comedian Dave Chappelle, activist Mona Eltahawy, physician Mehmet Oz, boxer Muhammad Ali, journalist Fareed Zakaria. Cukup?
I’ve been following this since it first started, shortly after Juan Williams made that silly comment and got fired. Do google to find out what happened, what he said. But here I’ll share two pieces which are not typical to what you’ll find. One by The Spectrum and the other by Williams himself. Either way, I think this blog is worth a share, whether or not it is in relation to what Williams said.
The reality of the matter is, not many people do know about the enviro issue. Their ignorance (assuming you prefer to call it that, as many do), is equal to your ignorance in thinking that they know as much as you do. This is applied beyond enviro issues. Poverty, politics, etc.

Thank you Afia Danial for sharing this. I dream of working on something like this. Either, or both, as an idea/concept or as an effect of change. Spot on by being simple yet remarkable.

Ent: ‘This is not our war.’
Pippin: ‘But u’re part of this world.’
Zain: ‘Orang Malaysia, please look beyond your borders.Happy Merdeka.’

Non-Muslim : Selamat mubarak man.

Non-Muslim : Oh right. Yea. So, ‘eid mubarak yea.’
Muslim : That’s only meant to be said a month from now man. Save it.
Non-Muslim : Fck off ya cnt.

One: Malaysians who want to see racism disappear r in essence seeking respect.Do maintain tht attitude 2wards foreign workers.Expats & labourers.
Two: If we can wish people around us, Deepavali, Xmas, get well soon, congrats, then I’m confident there are Malaysians who’ll wish Singaporeans happy birthday. If you would appreciate your neighbours wish you Happy Merdeka and what not, then you should do the same. Whatever country their from.
Tree: As an example: 100 trees is still a 100 trees. Given. But its also different in the context of a country with land size like Indonesia vs Singapore. Please argue fairly.
