By IAN YEE alltherage@thestar.com.my DURING my first few months as a journalist, I wrote probably the dumbest article of my life. Coming from me, I suppose that’s saying quite a lot about that piece. It was about the Here In My Home music video, which local singer-songwriter Pete Teo had put together with some well-known […]
By IAN YEE alltherage@thestar.com.my EVERY Friday, I like to take a few hours to do what we here at R.AGE call #RAGEchat, where we basically ask our followers on Twitter what they think about our stories. After a long hard week of interviews, photoshoots, research, writing and getting screamed at for not submitting our pages […]
BWHEN I tell people that R.AGE organises a secondary school cheerleading competition every year, they usually give the same, highly-predictable response – “so are the cheerleaders all bimbos?” followed by a juvenile laugh.

Even when Alex Ferguson retired, I had the feeling it was coming. Some genius pundit was going to nit-pick on his success and […]
By IAN YEE alltherage@thestar.com.my NOW that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has finally retired, you really have to wonder how the chewing gum industry will fare without its biggest advocate. Hairdryer manufacturers, too, would probably be freaking out right about now. But such is the measure of the man that his departure has actually caused […]
