A(H1N1) or Swine Flu

On 27 June, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai advised RTM to use the term Influenza A(H1N1) instead of Swine Flu (Selsema Babi) to comply with WHO's directive to make sure that every country will use the same terminology.

Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim has suggested earlier to the media to use the term 'Selsema Babi' instead of Influenza A(H1N1) to ensure that (a) the public was aware of the danger of the flu, (b) Massage could be conveyed more accurately and (c) Easier for the news broadcaster to read 'Selsema Babi' than Influenza A(H1N1). Malaysia betul betul boleh. Rais Yatim looked really serious, don't play play. MCA man is forever smiling, Hakuna Matata, it means no worries for the rest of your days, hakuna matata, MCA, hakuna matata.

  1. When a shop keep displaying or selling food products which are near expiry date or beyond expiry date, for sure the shop will wind up very soon.

    Similarly a political party having a lot of near expiry date politician, ideas and or policies, this political party is sure to face the same fate as the shop.
