Black Magic Woman-2006
Besides running and drinking, hashing has more than its share of fun. Let's go down to memory lane......
Lock up the bullies under ISA
By Bob Yong
5th March 2009
Our country is now awarded with the degree of a highest order for being the master of all political games. Not a single day goes by without the mass media reporting many sensational stories.
I watched the video of a fracas at Parliament House and was disturbed that a senior, veteran and outspoken Parliament member was stopped from entering the Parliament Assembly by a group of young upstarts, able-bodied but bad mannered men. These bad, rotten apples and so-called youth leaders acted like war-lords, demanding that MP Karpal Singh, who is wheel-chair bound must first apologize (apologize for what?) before being allowed to enter the Parliament Assembly.
I think to myself, who are these people they think they are? Obviously they are acting above the laws. Worst so; this happens right at the door steps of a place we respected as Parliament. Can they be so naïve to believe that this is an educational trip to make them future political leaders? I don’t think so.
These rowdy, abusive and low-down creatures must be thrown in the country’s worst dumpsite and be left there to fester and rot. There is no room for bullies in our midst and they are completely useless and a shame to our society.
In schools, bullies are reprimanded by teachers. Likewise, in politics, the leadership of the political parties can ensure that their stalwarts practice the ethics and good mannerism at all time.
Unquestionably, the sanctity, integrity and supremacy of our Parliament must be protected and upheld by all. Any attempt to usurp power by undemocratic means must be stopped and those responsible must be charged under ISA.

He's a hasher, he's true blue
By Bob Yong
1st March 2009
I started hashing in year 2000 and have gone through the experience of being terrorized by the wild life habitats that live in the jungle. Snake, bees, leeches and other crawlies are viewed as nuisance to hashers. Proud to say, after more than 500 weekly runs, many of which were treacherous, I have become a hash hardcore. Well, not quite so, as my fellow hashers may like to think otherwise.
Hashing is good for health and shall be recommended and encouraged to people who like outdoor activities, though some may believe that hashing is a dangerous sport. But the most disturbing fact is that many parts of the jungles we used to roam were cut down and destroyed for the sake of modern developments.
To me, I believe hashing besides having a good body workout; it can also promote awareness of environment preservation and ecological balances.
It is time we learn that deforestation has a serious consequences to the wild life and we must accept that animals in the wild have the rights to live and co-exit with us.
