You couldn’t make this up, could you?
All I can say is that some people are easily offended. I think Teresa’s point was that the meals didn’t exactly constitute a balanced diet; neither were they finger-lickin’ good. Know what I mean?
Anyway, it’s the most read article on theSun website! You got to hand it to ‘em… They do know how to keep us entertained… 
But, more seriously, see Wong Kok Keong’s concern below.
Report lodged against Teresa Kok for insulting egg
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24, 2008) : The Seputeh Umno Youth division lodged a police report today against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, claiming she had insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged.
The division’s deputy head Alawi Dahalin and several other members lodged the report at the Brickfields police station.
Alawi said he had heard Kok complain about the food she was given while detained under the ISA, at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya, shown on the night news on TV on Sept 20, a day after she was released from custody.
He said Kok had said the food she was served was “fit only for dogs”.
“By saying this, she had insulted the police and the poor. Eggs are an important food for low-income earners and the poor. As an elected representative of the people she should not have said that,” he said.
Wong Kok Keong detects a more worrying trend:
While this police report is incredibly idiotic, it actually is symptomatic of a disturbing trend emerging. Every group aligned with the government has now resorted to lodging police reports against others they disagree with or dislike by claiming the others as disturbing the peace, causing social instability, offending this or that religion,etc. And these groups are doing it, however idiotic their complaints may be, because they know the police will take them more seriously. When such a practice is becoming the preferred recourse and supported by the authorities instead of exchange of ideas and debates, it is a sign of a police state in the making.
I’ve just been away for about 3 months now and this is what is becoming of Malaysia? For the love of God, aren’t there many rape, murder and child abduction cases in need of police attention?
What has become of UMNO? Exposing their … mental abilities isn’t going to bode well for them in the international community, that is for sure.
I’m thoroughly disgusted.

The Sun is being a bit naughty here with such a headline. If you read the whole report especially the last paragraph, it wasn’t about insulting the egg but the police and the poor. Then again it’s such a trivial matter.
What the Sun did will give us a good laugh. But what Utusan normally reports will inflame racial and religious hatred.
Don’t be surprised if the Sun gets another show cause letter for this report for inciting hatred among the eggs.

Btw, the insulting the egg idea came from Muhammad Taib. Or at least, the first time i heard that.
Someone should study (certain of) these Malay NGOs. They should instead be called GRO. Government Relations Organisations

You see folks; with all the priviledges of education given,with the nation’s riches being spoonfed to them, with the Uni intakes prioritised to them by the government;
This is what we get. Minion minds. And the sad thing is, they’re happy about it.
Oh well, you know what they say; In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is always king.

How about a counter report for insulting the intelligence of Malaysians! Maybe this joker had eggs all the time back in school, no… not in the canteen but on the report cards, that’s why he is so in love with eggs.
Boiled eggs are now sacred Malaysian gourmet!

UMNO Seputeh leaders really dont have ‘EGGS’ Nothing else to do.
Wonder who is instigating the Police reports?????
And the Police are so free to investigate all this…thats why the crime rate is increasing higher and higher.
The Police are just wasting time and Manpower( esp.The Special Branch) spying on the Rakyat and investigating this type of petty reports.
I will certainly delay in paying my taxes this year.!!!!!

I hope Teresa will apologise on the commnet on egg as ‘fit for dogs’ . I know there are lots of poor people, Most of the time , during lunch they just eat eggs and rice.
We shouldnt make fun of food. Food is given by the god.
Hope she will think about it and please in future do not make fun of food. Think of African people ..

THANK YOU Umno Youth Seputeh, and every other Umno member; for the comic relief in such trying times — please continue to put your big foot into your mouth. After all, it’s only the world that’s watching, and laughing with disbelief and incredulity.
You have also just proven (time and again, I might add) your level of intelligence…
Really, I can’t wait for the next episode of UMNO BOLEH!

The following extract from “The Malay Mail” online will perhaps balance off the opinions expressed thus far/above. Why do most Malaysians exhibit the “pack instinct”? When someone starts making a big fuss about the UMNO report, everyone “jumps on the bandwagon”. Please remember that the Malaysian standard of English has gone down so much that perhaps the UMNO guys misphrased what they meant, which could be any or all of the following.
Comments from Teresa Kok’s blog
September 26, 2008 Categories: News
When Seputeh member of Parliament Teresa Kok had allegedly described the food served to her during her detention under the ISA as “slightly better than dog food”, she could not have predicted the firestorm it would spark off.
Kok’s comments drew numerous postings on her blog (teresakok.com) from Malaysians who recounted their own experiences at having to survive on meagre meals.
Below are excerpts of the postings.
● Joy_richer:
Did you know that while I was growing up 30 years ago, that was the meal that my grandmother packed for me?
● CRUSADER:
You get to eat eggs and yet you complain. Have you ever thought about those who can’t even afford a decent meal and need to share one egg with the whole family?
There are families who sleep on the earth, not even on cement with cardboard. Rather than taking our taxpayers’ money to upgrade jail facilities, please give it to the needy, not criminals.
● dtecconan:
This is not a matter of the ISA food being bad. The statement you made sounded as though you were insulting those who are used to eating hard-boiled eggs. Maybe your life has been easier, always able to eat good food, so it is easy for you to link what the less privileged usually eat to dog food.
● labu_air:
I was truly saddened by your statement. Dog food or not, whether you realise or not, that is the main course for a large number of Malaysians, not just for weeks but years.
● seetha:
Never mind the food, because nobody has died of starvation in our cells. Of course, we have to provide a decent meal to the detainees and prisoners. There must be international standards regarding this and we have to comply with these standards. The fact that you got two eggs, some curry and something else is far better than many poor Malaysians can afford. Right now, there are many people in the kampung who do not eat as well as this. Even my own sister-in-law is earning RM400 monthly working in a factory and eats plain rice with watery sardine curry every day. So, you have indirectly insulted perhaps one million Malaysians who would love to eat what you got during your detention.
● Think Tank:
The meal fed to you is what many Malaysians, myself included, are eating right now, and you mirrored it to dog food. Don’t forget that we are your voters.
