the outcome of the singapore idol contest once again shows how racial singaporeans can be. it's meniscule achievements like this that would set the malay community to an all-high mood for a few months before it drifts away. i'm a cynic at my own race but don't get me wrong, i agree that hady mirza deserves the crown because, boy, that fella can sing. personally, still, if i had voted, i'd give johnathan leong my confidence only because of his suave personality.

take years of suppression of the malay dominance and dignity, bottle it up nicely and tightly and when an opportunity crops up for the malay community to practice their ethnic motives, you'll get radical people, generations of believers, who will try to revive what was once present. like taufik batisah, hady mirza is another clear example of "i'm-voting-for-him-because-he's-malay".

big deal, so what? i'm glad idols 3 is not in mediacorp's agenda.

i don't really care about the racial issue, really. i'm more miffed that the vjc choir was chosen as the backup vocals for the performances. it's the same old scenario of one party being more gifted and having a higher prestige. gutted, because life's unfair.
