It has been hilarious watching those professional perverters of the truth, the ‘journalists’ of Malaysia’s mainstream media, getting their knickers in knots over Kosmo!’ s ‘outing’ of the late Yasmin Ahmad as a transsexual.

Not that I have any sympathy for the cunning stunts of such gutter rags. The timeless tabloid tradition of soliciting for readers by publishing sensationalist trivia is a contemptible travesty of journalism’s sacred duty to inform the public.
