Bent in Bentong

Day two of Independence weekend headed to Bentong in Pahang for a beernic. Dats like a picnic. With beer. Crew of Joyce, Mad Max, Joleen, my bro Anil and Joleen’s mutt Brandy. Why does she call her dog Brandy when she hates brandy?

Anyway, stocked up on extra strong beers from Jaya Grocer and hit da road. There was a major variety – Damburger, Haywards, Hollandia, Godfather, Luxus and Franziskaner. And Pirate! Haha

There were a bunch of people BBQ-ing north of us on a little hill. I decide to check em out coz they look like Sarawakians.

Coz Sarawakians know how to party. And drink.

We get along like bros and hangout d rest of d day with them. They offer us food and booze, and we party! They were quite pleased when we offer them Joleen’s tuak and some bubbly.

They were well organized – there’s a CD player n speakers, and even patin fish! No langkau tho.

Havin a serious discussion with a dude called Valentine. Drink-related of course. The idea is to take a swig of whisky, then chase with ice-cream soda

Yes, no, yes, no?

As usual, after they fuck-up, the government tries to do damage-control. So now, Muslims may attend the Guinness gig. Whether guests will be able to drink is unknown. Probably not.

They were actually going to do a booze-free and Muslim-free party? How inappropriate and insulting, especially the Muslim-free part. What a disaster.

How dahell did we allow ourselves to get to this situation?

The thing is many event organizers (this event is by Galaxy Group) usually care about makin sure the event happens, so they make their profits. I guess they dont care if the sell Malaysian citizens out while they do it. That’s extremely selfish and unpatriotic, dont u think?

They aint gonna fight for our rights.

If everybody in dis country did exactly what the government ordered, this country would be fucked. Dat’s why the government keeps doin u-turns – coz the People make it clear whenever they fuck up. Which is often. Thats our responsibility as citizens.

Been kindly offered a free ticket or 2 by d organizer’s rep. Not sure if am goin tho. Companies and event organizers that sell-out our rights so easily to the authorities for the sake of a gig, turn me off. What efforts were made by them to protest against such stupid rules? What will they be doing in the future to ensure this kinda crap dont happen again?

Respect our rights.

This whole incident has left behind a bad taste and bad vibes. The worst part is it’s supposed to be an ‘entertainment’ event.
