Secretary of States Award for International Women of Courage

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama present give away Secretary of State's Award for International Women of Courage to Malaysia 's Ambiga Sreenevasan at the State Department in Washington , DC . (AFP)

The shame of it all that we should be so proud (and are) of our own Malaysian receiving an international award like this, but the Malaysian government and press dont see it as important enough to publish it in our local dailies! It was only published by THE SUN (Free News Paper) but rather small and hidden in the inner pages.
This picture made it to the pages of India Times but not in our own papers!

But if she is from the so called bumiputra origin, I am sure she would have been given a DATUK/DATO' ship by now.

Come on Malaysia, please treat all Malaysian as your own bumiputra. Indeed we are all bumiputras if one knows the exact meaning of this word.
Thank you for the e-mail circulated. Thanks again for the "e" technology for keep us informed. Salute you dearest Ambiga Sreenevasan. Wonder what happen to the mono-cocktail incident case?
