Everybody's raving about this year's SPM result. It turned out the girl who was supposed to get 19A's didn't get 19A's after all! That poor kid! I'm better of taking 10 subjects and get straight a's for them than suffer the humiliation of a failed attempt to outbest Publicized Princess Amalina (another more ridiculously Publicized Princess is no other than Diana 'Ina' Naim of high-profile break-up with Mawi fame. Puhleaze! You people have to mind your own business- then again, other people's business is their business! How can an ex-fiancee of Mawi turn into an overnight artiste? Did she just cry her way to stardom?). Think of all the wasted time and effort. All the hard work of trying to foolishly out-do 'a record' that the kementerian so much prized.

Interesting, and she plans to take the stand for women rights to the next level despite the controversies arousing her brave statement. The debate was whether or not it was relevant to debate on an old issue, in respect of the state of today's society. Women of today have a better status than they did way back in the days of history old. Women emancipation has been heatedly debated especially in the West throughout the time, and perhaps, the most memorable one was of the Suffragettes, fighting for the right of women to vote. Some places in Africa, in history, do not even recognize rape of women, as a crime, however, all of that has changed, thankfully. The question now is, are women actually 'emancipated' as we are all made to belief? well,...
