Mawi beats Siti Nurhaliza

Today is a historical day for Mawi. He managed to beat Siti Nurhaliza in term of front page coverage in major newspapers. Almost all newspapers carried his story and most on the front page. Bigger fonts and bigger photos of him and his fiancee (former?) compared to Siti & Datuk K photos.

Congratulation Mawi. Perhaps he could have made it bigger if he just sent an SMS. People has been using SMS for divorces, why not use it to end the engagement. That would put his face right up every newspaper in the Malay speaking world.

At the same time, I think this is just a conspiracy to divert the nation attention from Siti's wedding. Yup! That is it. Or perhaps a better one is to divert the attention of the nation from the PM vs ex-PM crisis. And the sugar crisis, and the fuel price, and how huge is Petronas, TNB, TM and Maybank's profits.

Siti, now is a good time to announce your wedding plan. Now is the time for you to beat Mawi to the front page. Give us good news. We are bored with all this negativities.
