I’m speechless.

First of all, Brendan Pereira failed to lift up the image of the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. His boss, Hishamuddin Aun seems like can’t write in English. So, back to square, the Deputy Chairman of the NST Group Kalimullah Hassan has to come out and do the saint job.

Several times since the crooked bridge was called off, Dr Mahathir has accused me of masterminding what he perceives as a "blackout" of him in the Press, not only in the New Straits Times group of which I am deputy chairman, but also in other mainstream media.

At a couple of Press conferences, he joked about my name, saying that the media was controlled by a Hindu God (Kali) and a Muslim priest (Mullah).

Some guys thought it was witty and laughed with him.

Go do a Google search, type: "Meaning of Kalimullah".

The answer you get is: Musa is the Arabic name of the Prophet Moses. He is also referred to by the title Kalimullah meaning "He who spoke with Allah". Musa is one of the prophets of Islam.

Doesn’t sound so funny or witty now, does it? Making fun of the prophets never is.

Is Kali saying that former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is making fun of the prophets?

So to speak, the ball is in Tun Mahathir’s court to decide whether to respond to this one angry man.

But, don’t you think that, Kali should have tried a little bit harder?
