Funeral Rites for the Living

Funeral Rites being carried out for Hee Yit Fong...








Maybe it was not so bad when journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at U.S. President George Bush in a December 2008 press conference in Baghdad, Iraq. Someone despicable would have funeral rites carried out for him or her like in the case of 4 feet five, limped assemblywoman from Jelapang, Perak, Hee Yit Fong. Her story perhaps parallels that of China's famous traitor, the Song Dynasty Prime Minister Qin Hui who signed a peace treaty with the Juchen in the north, thereby relinquishing the northern China to the Juchen; and had a beloved national hero, Yue Fei executed despite protests from the common people. For his misdeeds, Qin Hui and his accomplices, his wife and lackeys Zhang Jun and Mo Qixie were cast in iron, to kneel before the tomb of Yue Fei in Hangzhou's West Lake for eternity. For centuries, these statues have been cursed, spat and urinated upon by young and old and a poem hanging on the gate there reads:


The green hill is fortunate to be the burial ground of a loyal general, the white iron was innocent to be cast into the statues of traitors.


For Hee Yit Fong who caused the downfall of the Perak government and betrayed the trust of the people who elected her, she would not be as innocent as the white iron but fortunate would she be if she could hear the people cry...

She is no mere prostitute.

She is the GREATEST PIMP in Perakdom.

Her client was Najib.

Najib must have told her, "Perak is very beautiful, just like Mongolia - if you let me screw her, I'll pay you 15 million."

She said, "Okay, if you'll throw in a Camry too."

If Hee Yit Fong knows the History of China and knows how people hated Qing Hui even till today, maybe she wouldn't do what she did. Chinese culture just doesn't accept people like Qing Hui and Yit Fong. You think, Yit Fong is a banana or not?

Beautiful outside but not inside. The woman let so many people down and didn't seem to know it!

Don't worry, they know everything they do. Persons that have great powers, possibilities rarely use them for good things.

That's the sad part. The thing is this lady is a handipcapped clerk who was given an opportunity. She forgets the kindness heaped on her and betrayed too many people.People here can't accept that because it's not in the culture. If you read the story of Qing Hui, his misdeed has not been forgotten till this days and that must be hundreds of years ago!
