Bikini Headlines

This morning while paying for breakfast at a kedai mamak, I was browsing the headlines on newspapers that laid on the counter. I noticed some of them were telling about this local actress' leaked bikini pics. It seems that people are making a big deal out of the pics that were unintentionally leaked to the net by her best friend.

Question is how is it so important that the papers have to make news out of it and put it on the front pages? Is this the level of intelligence that we Malaysians have? It's only about a popular TV chick trying to live her private life.

Even if she was walking around in bikinis, who are we to judge? Are we ourselves any better? At least she's sensitive to people's expectations, that for a public figure like her, she has to "behave" like what people believe she is - maybe like most of her baju kurung-clad-good-kampung-girl roles on TV.  Maybe that's why she decided to go to Bali, instead of Batu Feringghi or PD to avoid being spotted by fans and the media.

The fact that cheapskate stories like this made it to the front page bothers me. They belong to gossip blogs or teen magazines. Stop putting it up just to sell your newspaper. We have other serious issues at our hands that need urgent attention, not about some chick and her bikini pic.
