Everyday oso Altantuya. Everyday oso Altantuya.

Why are the Malaysian Media feeding us so much of Altantuya in one go? It's like the second Norita Murder case; every single day until we tak tahan and decided that 'Ala, sorang je mati...' You know what I mean? It's the century old formula: Feed the pig until it dies turnturtle. Or something like that.

We humans have a very hard time attaching our hearts to facts and are more intuited when we see obvious display of emotions. That is exactly what the media is doing: you will see Witnesses, Dates, Venues, Details on the front page of almost all newspapers everyday, which is successful of pulling our heats together to grief(for a few weeks).

And on the second or third page, there will be pictures of Baginda and his family having tearful seperations, supporting each other, waving from afar, praying for God's mercy. Hah tengok, kita pun dah kesian.

And sooner or later we will lose interest on the murder trial and will be more interested to see Baginda's teary release and be reunited with his friends and family. (Remember the ending of Norita's case?) Everybody loves a happy ending. And the conspiracy lurking beneath the corinthian carpet dissipates and dissapears, leaving the absent smell of smoked flesh. Justice indeed.

I'm in favour for Altantuya, not because I'm keen to see Baginda behind bars but I think there's a whole new level of corruption and misuse of power in the government and Baginda is the only living person who holds the key to this greesy golden vault.

So please, people. Filter your reading or read the newspapers with a clear mind. Or else we will be wheeled into the psychological deception reel.
