Did not the Familee helped him sweep up his F1 tickets using taxpayers' $ and this is the fcuked up wayang he put up to give Peesai a bad name? Can an FTrash ever be trusted? Where does his loyalty lie?

Thursday </B>If the organisers had their way, this review would only be about Taiwanese hip-hop band Da Mouth's fun but lacklustre performance in their first 15 minutes on stage.
Draconian rules were set for journalists covering the event, from requiring an escort if they wished to leave the media centre, to reviewing only the first three songs of the four-hour rock show.
Perhaps then, you would not learn about the frustrating sound system that marred the entire show.
The first hints of trouble appeared before the show began. Early birds who arrived at 5pm were treated to an unplanned bonus: catching A*mei in a very short pair of hot pants rehearsing her songs. Obviously uncomfortable with the presence of fans, she stayed behind a giant black umbrella testing the sound.
Less than 10 minutes before the 7pm flag-off, Tsing-Feng of sodagreen whined: 'How long more to go?' before finally completing the assessment of the sound system.
Despite all those sound checks, the opening act suffered. Lead vocalists Harry Chang and Senda Aisa of Da Mouth could not project their voices, partly because they were holding duds for microphones which cackled throughout the band's self-titled first song.
They compensated with sexy dance moves that saw them prancing across the stage with rapper MC40, who was the only perfectly audible one.
They supplemented the set of their hits such as King And Queen and Always By Your Side with party tunes Black Eyed Peas' My Hump and Fatboy Slim's Kung Fu Fighting.
The audience turned from lukewarm to hot when sodagreen came onstage. Beginning the set with the English song, Oh Oh Oh Oh... from their debut album, Tsing-Feng, with green hair that resembled the hairdo of the Joker from Batman, wowed the crowd with his deft playing on a melodica and his tireless nasal vocals.
