Card Carrying Criminals... You Better Believe It!

I was watching 999 on TV3 last night and as usual it had the obligatory Mat Rempit-getting-busted scene.

Anyway, one 20-something Rempit was caught after he “rempuh-ed” the police blockade. And it was also discovered that the dude was actually a member of the notorious gang called “APACHEE”.

And how did the police know this? ‘Cos – get this – he had an APACHEE membership card with him.

Call me naïve, but as far as I know, criminals and gang members usually don’t want to be found out so easily. Imagine the mafia handing out cards to its members…

I can imagine what’s gonna happen in court already:

Judge: So what evidence do you have to prove the guy’s a gang member?
Prosecutor: Well your honour, he, um, has a card….

Ha ha!

If you don’t believe me, watch it yourself at this link:

But I do wonder what sort of privileges the APACHEE card would entitle the member? Cheap “minyak motor”? Discounts on bohsia? Yeah, probably lah…

Bang, Vodka Special Satu!

So this piece of news came out yesterday in Star Metro. The Finlandia vodka Cup Malaysia 2008 was held recently to find the cream of the bartending crop.

It was a closed (and close) competition apparently and the contestants were required to prepare an aperitif, a long drink and the Quick Mix.

And the winners were:

1.Abdumubin Ismail (RM2,000 cash, trophy, will represent Malaysia at the 11th International Finlandia Vodka Cup in Lapland, Finland)
2.Chong Yi Shawn
3.Rizal Junior

Ain’t saying anything more, but I’m pretty sure some people in this Hadhari land would find the whole thing rather weird, no?
