Colossus, Kim Il Wah or Brahma?

Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves

- W Shakespeare

According to the Star Online, this 12.2 metre high cutout positioned in front of Wisma Keringat at Batu Caves costs the taxpayers RM5,000.

And a sweetie secretly confided to me she though Malaysia had gone the way of North Korea with a Soviet style Kim Il Wah-ish iconic monument.

But Perlis Mufti Dr Asri Zainul Abidin told cult supporters to cease and desist in such extreme extent of 'idol-ising' their leader.

He warned them: “The action should be stopped immediately for fear that it would become a practise within the society. It can deviate the Muslim’s faith."

I wonder what the Kulim Wonder, Zulkifli Noordin would say?

Brahma at Batu Caves?

But the greatest sin would be
To do the blasphemous

To question, blame, sneer
At the one & most holy Grail,
The one with the pious wail
Four face Almighty Brahma

Hi to my dear buddy Paul
Assalaimu Alaikum yaa akhi
wo men dou shi yi jia ren
demi bangsa, bangsa & bangsa

Maybe kaytee can offer yet another poem?


I was Darth Vader yesterday
But now I am Luke Skywalker
Tho’ tomorrow, you’ll see me
As I ought to be, the Emperor

Activist in a forgotten history
Then Minister of Parachuting
Yes, I can metamaphose easily
From black, white to anything

Catch me if you can, I am the
Entertainer of the salacious,
Then like a flash of lightning
Becoming Mufti of all pious

My syrupy honey tongue, ten
Metres long – all the better
To catch you common lalat’s
With words sweet and tender

Of many hue, size and shape
Yes, I am indeed a chameleon
Breaking bread with an Islamist
Or bosom buddy of a neocon

Once I wallowed in a cesspool
'ere I was driven out by a tiger
Now I am your white Paladin
Not many can detect my odour

Like a mischievous Eris I flung
Into the anagrammatic KOJI
A Mongolian apple of discord
Which says Altan .. Kallisti

A word meaning ‘to the fairest’
Why, that’s me, aku, I, wah
Sweet words, all ye lemmings,
For your Most Majesty, Moi
