Another
accident involving a lorry carting foreign workers like logs or
convicts in the rear tray led to again another fatality. Under the
British the Coolies on the docks and in the mines must have suffered
similarly. (Page 1 picture - the traffic delays on a major arterial no
doubt the reason for the prominent notice.)
Page 2. Another death suiting the Forces of Darkness (following Chavez recently): the crucial witness in the murder and attempted atomization of the Mongolian translator associated with the Malaysian PM Najib up for imminent re-election. Chap concerned a Private Dick who in 2008 gave a damning Statutory Declaration implicating the highest office-bearers in the crime, only to recant the following day. Finally silenced by a timely heart attack. (Unless he himself was the victim of the ray-gun loaned by Big Business/foreign capital that blasted Hugo shortly before.)
Full page Hi-colour advertisement (page 7) from Starhub, a local communication provider, head-lined: "Who says we are the unhappiest country in the world?" ....One of the richest per capita coincidentally the unhappiest according to recent troubling surveys. Difficult to believe when so well-connected by social media and communication networks. Thinking caps need tightening further...
Mystery and machination on Page 12. Former ML PM Mahathir cagily suggesting the Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim may be behind the recent incursion into Malaysian Borneo by Filipino-based rebels. According to the Philippine Government the rebel Sultan is very poor. "So where is the money coming from?" wonders Dr. Mahathir pensively. (In Penang late last year whispers that this same former PM, a former kampung boy from the now transformed tourist island of Langkawi, was one of the richest men on the planet.... Calumny in which direction?)
Refrigerators, washers, TV's, cameras and Condos as usual in the big Saturday issue in particular burying everything else.
Fine and sunny. Retreat to the air-con room as usual after lunch before re-loading.
