Dato’ Sudirman Haji Arshad is probably the only Malaysian singer that approaches P Ramlee’s legendary status. He was variously dubbed “Singing Lawyer” and “Elvis of Malaysia.” The diminutive 4′ 9″ local legend passed away exactly 20 years ago, on 22nd February 1992 at the age of 37. My favourite songs of his: 1978: Jali Jali, ...

Mention “martial arts” and many, if not most people, would immediately think of Bruce Lee. He’s probably the most famous martial arts practitioner ever featured in the movies, so it would be quite natural to think of him as a reference standard. Now, to the question: who was or is the greatest ever? As would ...

A relative just returned from a trip to the Philippines, and brought back something I’ve never tried before: Different, took some time to get used to it. Lucky Me! 
Muhsin Hendricks (born 1970), of South Africa, is the world’s first openly gay imam.

Here’s a partial list of audio which I found so entertaining that they have, at one time or another, become my ringtone, or played in the car for days at a time. “Entertaining& #8221; here usually means they are either world-class good, or terribly bad.
