Bila kanak-kanak 'hodoh' disingkir

I found it’s odd and sad that the kid who suppose to sing the China national anthem at the Olympic opening ceremony, was rejected last minute by the communist party chiefs just because she’s not cute or good enough to represent China’s image.

"The first condition was that the director wanted the image to be very cute. The reason was for national interest. The child on camera should be flawless in image, internal feelings and expression" The event's musical designer said.

Here she is.


Macam cute juga saya nampak (boleh pakai juga bah kan?). cuma gigi dia ja yang mengkali kononnya boleh menjatuhkan imej China (hmm...gigi lagi! Mana sudah si Ayu OIAM tu...belum buat gigi lagi?)

According to the report she has the voice but not the image (balik-balik sudah dengar kenyataan macam ni kan).

And as solution they picked this girl instead, who has the image but not the voice, to be shown all over the world. Cantik sangat kah?


Tapi kononnya this girl juga tidak perasan masa dia menyanyi tu suara yang keluar di loud speaker sebenarnya suara budak pertama di atas. Patut pun masa saya nampak di TV dia macam terkejut tiba-tiba suara dia power...hehe. Maybe semasa dia menyanyi producer arah mikrofon dia switched off.

Kejam juga pemerintah komunis ni boleh menyebabkan gangguan psikologi di kalangan kanak-kanak (ni boleh dianggap melanggar hak asasi manusia juga ni).

But when I read this news, I found it a bit awkward. Just imagine China, a nation with one over billion population, just can't get a kid with the right package for the event. Don't you think it's strange?kalau setakat di Sabah, rasa saya berlambak budak-budak yang cute dan bersuara power, terutama yang ambil bahagian dalam pertandingan Sugandoi, Bintang Kecil. Belum lagi masuk yang pergi ujibakat Tom Tom Bak...:)
