Just a lil bit a political spice at Novinthen.com
Where you like it or not , I respect him for what he is and what he has done,especially the debate with Dato Sri Anwar Ibrahim.
In another development, Information Ahmad Shabery Cheek said no one had pressured him into deciding not to contest any post in the Umno Supreme Council in December’s party polls.
He said he did not want to be seen as using his position as the minister of information to promote himself through agencies under the ministry such as Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), the Special Affairs Department (JASA) and the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama).
He said he also wanted to set an example for staff of the ministry, that none of them should be seen using their advantage and position to engage in political contests.
“I am sticking to my decision not to contest a post in the supreme council in the coming elections. There is no pressure. I want to be an example.
“If I, as a minister, am not contesting, not using my position … the people under me can also follow my example,” he was quoted as saying by Bernama.
Ahmad Shabery reminded his ministry staff not to contest senior positions in the Umno elections for fear that others would see them as using their position as an advantage.

In a recent interview to a tabloid, A.R Rahman expressed his desire to release the Tamil verse collection Thirukkural in rap format. He replied so when asked what would be his contribution to the younger generation.
Rahman further mentioned that the project would involve desi Rapper Blazee, who is already on the job of preparing the format and would be a novel attempt to popularize Tamil literature. As per Rahman, Blazee would sing Thirukkural in rap version and Carnatic music would be used to mix in the background. Rahman was also quoted as saying by the tabloid that he would only produce the album and music would be rendered by Blazee himself.

I wonder how Tamil literature world is going to react to this ? Especially Minnal.FM ( Malaysian Tamil Radio ) , Tamil Foundation, Semparuthi and so on?
What’s your comments guys? Puvanan? Poobalan ? Mahendran ( he surely will agree,big time Rahman fan he is ) , Vickneswaran? , Subash?
For myself, I’m OK with it,as long as the pronunciation is good. But with Blaaze,I wonder if that will happen? I think Dr Burn or any other Tamil Rapper with good command of Tamil are better choice then Blaaze. And also hopefully, the music will not “swallow” the Kural.
UPDATE: What will Dr/Maruthuvar Ramadoss do ? Burn effigy of Rahman and Blaaza?
Download e-Thirukural here. Complete with explanation in Tamil and English
