I am not sure if anyone else noticed this but...

Altantuyaa was a model. The phrase 'Mongolian Beauty' became almost synonymous with her after her death. Hence it bugs me to no end as to why of all the pictures of her available, the Malaysian media chose to honor her memory by favoring this picture-

-in all their publications about her. I'm not kidding. This image of her is blatantly displayed on blogs, newspapers, pamphlets, and billboards all over the country.

I may be wrong, but I would imagine her being someone who cares a great deal about her looks, being a model and all...

 

Yeah, we got to see what's probably worse for a model than an aged look. We saw her without her makeup on. Thanks Malaysia.

And that folks, is the final mystery of her death. Unfulfilling, I know. Well, here are a few pictures of how she is meant to be remembered. I swear, if they had put these up on the billboards in the first place, people would probably be more worked up about finding her killers. Particularly the men.

And that's that. I'll grant you a Q&A session for sticking with my rants this long.

 

 

Google Adsense Woes

Google Adsense recently turned down my application to place ads on this blog upon the basis that there is not enough text on the blog. I realize that the problem was most of my text is in the images and their word parsers just doesn't do pictures. Still the whole rejection thing convinced me to browse through their terms and conditions at least once and I found another restriction they had listed. No excessive profanity they said.

It's hard to determine what Google deems excessive in the use of profanity, but I guess I understand where they're coming from. Readers might subconsciously associate the content of the blog with the advertisements displaying at the same time, and they don't want that. For example if this happened:

The result would be:

But suppose I fuse profanity with hilarity. Wouldn't that balance things out? It may even have a positive impact on the viewer. I don't know. I have this totally unjustified sense of cocksureness about my sense of humor. What do you think?

Mystery of Altantuya. Part 2: Demise and Surmise.

This is a continuation from part 1 here.

When we last saw of Abdul and Altantuyaa, they were in France and had just ended their relationship.

When Abdul got back to Malaysia, he ended up barricading himself in his house. 

Meanwhile, off the coast of Singapore, on board a Singaporean navy destroyer....

Back in Malaysia, there was a prolonged commotion outside Abdul's house. It lasted for a few days.

It is widely believed though never proven that Abdul called for backup.
 

I mean, it's not like all politicians have access to private death squads or anything. Unless Malaysia was more devious than I give it credit for...
 

Whether Abdul made the call or not, backup did arrive, in the form of 2 Malaysian Special Branch officers. Special Branch is Malaysia's attempt to create an agency in the form of a combination of the American FBI and CIA. Months later, during trial, they would testify that Altantuyaa begged for her life, claiming she was pregnant.

This is Malaysia indeed. After that, they stripped her naked, shot her again, strapped a block of C-4 onto her body, and blew her the fuck up. It took another few months for people to notice she was missing. The entire investigation and trial to find her killers went about something like this:

And it goes on....

And that's pretty much the extent of justice Altantuyaa was granted. Who was actually behind her gruesome murder? Speculations abound. Some say it was Abdul, some say his wife, some say it was the Vice Prime Minister who by 2013 elevated himself to the post of Prime Minister, some say it was the PM's wife. Hell, some even say it was the French.

And that ladies, gentlemen, and neither, is the first half of the Mystery of Altantuyaa. "Wait... there's more mystery to this other than who killed her?" you ask. Well of course there is! It'll come up in part 3.
