Talking Edge with Kam Raslan

Peeps,

Every weekend when I bought The Edge Weekly, one of the many business newspapers in Malaysia, I actually look forward to readingw commentaries and analysis by Kam Raslan, a Malaysian guru.

He is a guru and an expert on Malaysian lifestyles, Malaysian politics, Malaysian jokes and Malaysian quirks and behaviours. He is the guru of all things Malaysians; never mind that he grew up in the Great Britain.

There is actually a special page dedicated for him every week in this weekly newspaper, called "Talking Edge" where he answers all sorts of queries, from politics to social etiquette.

And the truth is this: I enjoy reading all the questions thrown at him, and the responses that he throws back at you.

Some of his responses are witty, cynical, comical, sarcastic and at times, it can be plain silly. It can also be sadistic too, you know.

At other edition of the newspapers, his responses are right-to-the-point, sharp, critical and simply excellent.

Oh, his comments can also be mysterious: for example, in this week's edition of the newspaper (The Edge Weekly, Issue 964, May 27th, 2013), he was asked "why everything is so political these days"; and his response was:-

"It's as if everybody has been awakened and there's no turning back".

To me, such a response would conjure that he is pro-Pakatan Rakyat (People's Pact); but of course that is too much an accusation. I mean, I wouldn't know for a fact which political side is he inclined to. He can be the all-out and die-hard BN fan; or the staunch and loyal Pakatan supporters; and that peeps, is his person choice.

Reading through his responses, it then show us that he can be mysterious -- concealed behind those words that can only be deciphered by those see-through minds.

Regardless of his political inclination, I enjoy reading the specially dedicated section for him in this newspaper; and I look forward to reading many more of his responses in the coming edition.

Keep up the good work, Kam Raslan. We Malaysians (at least, I do) enjoy reading your piece!
