Best Motorcycles of 2011

Don’t be a cheesy rider – get yourself on one of this year’s coolest bikes.

Bikers call car drivers “cagers” for good reason: When the summer sun is high and the blacktop beckons, there’s nothing like strapping on a brain bucket and doing some two-wheeling. We’ve picked three standouts sure to put a bug-addled grin on your face. Need something milder? Turn the page for three rookie-friendly alternatives. Regulators, mount up.

Najib defends cattle project linked to minister’s family

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has dismissed allegations of abuse of power in the federal government’s RM250 million soft loan to a company owned by Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil’s husband that operates the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC).

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said today in a written reply to a parliamentary question that the company — Agroscience Sdn Bhd — had been selected to operate the NFC project to create Malaysia’s “Beef Valley” after a tender process involving five other companies.

The Auditor-General’s Report released last week had criticised the project, and pointed out that it was now “in a mess”.

It said production in 2010 was only 3,289 head of cattle or 41.1 per cent of the target set.

Seksualiti Merdeka: Majlis Peguam mahu Najib jamin hak golongan LGBT

M
ajlis Peguam menggesa pihak berkuasa berhenti daripada mengambil tindakan pendakwaan ke atas golongan minoriti seksual jika mahu Malaysia dihormati sebagai sebuah negara demokratik, kata Presidennya Lim Chee Wee.

Sehubungan itu Majlis Peguam juga mahu Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak mengotakan kata-kata beliau berada di Australia baru-baru ini bahawa Malaysia merupakan negara demokrasi yang progresif dan bukannya penindas kumpulan pelarian dan pencari suaka dalam membela nasib kumpulan minoriti seksualiti.

Nazri insists UUCA still valid

K
UALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — The controversial Universities and University Colleges Act (UUCA) still stands despite a court ruling that one of its sections was in breach of the Federal Constitution, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said today.

The minister in the Prime Minister’s Department told Parliament today that “the Act is still an Act.”

The de facto law minister said the law, which bars students from political activities, remained intact as the Court of Appeal decision was “only the opinion of the court.”

“It is now up to the Attorney-General to decide whether to appeal the decision. Until the matter is finalised, we can’t say anything,” the Padang Rengas MP said.

The deal with sex

Let us be honest here. How many of us clicked on the link to this article because the salacious title caught our eye? 

Not too long ago, I was browsing the home page of a local mainstream news portal. There was a small section at the side of the page featuring a list of the five “most viewed” articles at the current time. Here were the headlines of those articles, in the order of which they originally appeared: 

My bum is the widest in the world.. and I want to make it bigger

Dionne Washington - DM Collect

R
ightly or wrongly, most women are desperate ­for a smaller bum. ­Gym workouts, magic ­knickers and all sorts of diet tricks...we’ll try anything for a perfectly pert behind.

But Dionne Washington can’t imagine anything worse. Her massive bottom is 5ft 3ins across and weighs a whopping 22st – the same as three Victoria Beckhams or a baby panda. And it’s her greatest asset.

“I am literally sitting on a fortune,” says Dionne, 35. “My bum must be the widest in the world and it earns me over £90,000 a year. I used to hate it, but now it’s my fave feature.”

She knows how much her bottom weighs because four men lifted her up and flopped it down on a set of industrial scales while holding up the rest of her. At its widest point, it’s 14ft 9ins around, and she’s on a mission to make it even bigger.
