I just love the heading in the New Straits Times 23 May 2006.
Some excerpts:
"Radzi said even the title 'Lelaki Komunis Terakhir' had caused quite a stir among the people.
"When you mention the title, many will react to it. Some will ask why we are championing an issue that caused the sufferings of our forefathers. It is not right," he said."
So, the title is the crucial point. That means Amir, the director of the said film must take note of this observation from the honourable minister himself. Next time he makes a movie, he must use that very apt title 'Senario Cinta Mawi' as mentioned in his own blog lastcommunist.blogspot.com. But that title itself might give the wrong connotation. So please play safe. As a very bright person, I'm sure he'll be able to come up with something along the lines of Gerak Khas or Man Laksa.
"Asked if he had watched the documentary, Radzi said he had. However, he declined to say what he thought of it. He only said it depended 'on circumstances'."
An action that shows transparency of the highest order? Is big brother watching? He declined to say what he thought as it will also depend on circumstances. A classic example of survival of the fittest and the bottomline is, we must take care of our rice bowl. So please do not rock the boat. A very good and prudent move. Ten brownie points and may more of his ilk be in the cabinet...
