I just noticed a comment that was never approved at my Siti Nurhaliza Datuk K post, asking me what I was trying to say actually?

The comment did point out that I was touching a hot topic, but also that I didn’t make my point very clear.

Talking about hot topics and gossip, that reminded me on Paula Abdul on American Idol who also goes on and on and on and in the end nobody knows what she was saying either…

But it wouldn’t be nice to start blogging like Paula is talking

I wanted to point out 2 things:

1. Siti was marrying a man who was hardly divorced. Being a westerner we know that people that divorce a woman and marry a few months later, most likely will divorce the new woman again. But here you could argue: well: this is Malaysia so your logic could be wrong. Ok, I rest my
   case here
2. Datuk K being successful yet only paying a bridal gift of RM 22.222… again for me as a westerner that sounds cheap. Especially if you are marrying the most successful female singer of the entire country. Being business minded myself, that just sounds like a good business deal for Datuk K.

Anyway, Siti was the first Malaysian singer I got to know when I arrived here, so I have kept an eye on her ever since. Because those days she was at the beginning of her career, and I was at the beginning of my stay in Malaysia. Siti surely became more famous than I did

Being in the spotlight, Siti could have been a role-model. In my opinion, marrying to a man who is still in the process of being divorced is not setting a good example. But on the other hand: she is a singer, and she never claimed to be a role model.

Hope that clears a bit the confusion, if I am not clear again, please do leave a comment.
