Here's the clip of Nat walking briskly out of the Commercial Crimes division of PDRM. He's in high-spirits and sure speaks BM better than I by a hundred miles!
Shortly before the clip began, he kissed Li Tsin...very sweet, but the sub-ed didn't want to include that ... but the very degil me, encoded the video with that part in for 3G. Sigh! Why don't I listen to people? :-)
Minang is 'Minangkabau', a clan in Sumatra. The clan has a symbiotic relationship with the buffalo, or 'kerbau' in Malay or 'korobau' or 'kobau' in the Minang dialect. 'Minangkabau' is derived from 'menang kerbau' -- win buffalo. The Sumatran clans pitch their buffalos against each other, and the Minangs have the reputation of having the fastest buffalos in Sumatra. This blog isn't much use to anyone else though. There are no revelations and no discussions -- just a Minang's folly.

Nat released
Yeah ... cool ... They released Nat on bail yesterday. He looked in high spirits and will definitely carry on the fight.
Yesterday as we watched the clips, Kabi commented that we were watching a politician born.
We were also struggling a little bit to get less of Li Tsin in the frame coz one of our sub-eds felt it wouldn't be professional to have her in. To me, it doesn't matter -- Li Tsin was there because Nat's her guy and it's not as though she were reporting the story.
But I guess those born from print journalism are like that ...
Even Steven -- he liked the new montage Indra did, but asked us to remove our (Malaysiakini's staff) pix from it. Maybe they should watch more broadcast news ... Anyway to each his/her own. I guess one difference between broadcast journalists and print is that the print folks are detached from the stories they do...it's reporting as oppose to presenting news.
Fav Bands
I have few fav bands coz I ain't so much of a music person. But the Cranberries, The Corrs, Four Non Blondes are one all time favourites and there's Bob Dylan too.
Going back awhile, there's Grand Funk Railroad, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Rolling Stones ...

Bob Dylan
Blowin' In The Wind
The Corrs
Breathless
