Here in Sing’ plans to rejuvenate the recently
global retail-winning Orchard Road shopping strip. An Australian firm (Cistri), helmed by a Mr. Jack Backen,
has been tasked with leading the charge to ensure the precinct’s continued
relevance as a vibrant lifestyle destination. (Characteristic Straits Times vocab. and phrasing that
reprises the elevated language of colonial administrators.) While locals have
been staying away, the area continues to be visited by foreigners (from
Sh_thole countries in the main bereft of such exclusive emporiums offering top
brands??). “Experiential retail,” food trucks and more entertainment on the street
early suggested innovations.
A Malay regional leader up in his fortress stronghold (Padang Rengas) in the north-west of the peninsular sporting his big watch and bigger rings, insists in answer to a young UMNO reformer who has called for a change of culture in the party that recently lost the election, that on his own patch he will most certainly remain the warlord he has been and continue into the foreseeable future the same. (Umno Supreme Council Member Nazri (sic.) Abdul Aziz.) Malaysiakini.
Melania Trumpet’s concern about children separated from parents on the Mexican border shows the attraction she held for her husband over and above the fine figure, nice upstanding tits and long legs—lady of generous heart.
Najib’s three day Langkawi trip with wife and family carting thirty pieces of luggage has immed. set off panic among the Malaysian citizenry, concerned that a bag of $$$$ could easily procure a speed boat escape to a neighbouring country and protracted extradition thereafter that would delay the keenly anticipated trial for his many crimes. Staying at the Langkawi branch of the St. Regis chain which recently hosted the North Korean leader in Singapore (Orchard Road, with the worst kitsch street sculpture on the pavement — and that’s really saying something!), the former PM hopes to get in some golf during his stay. (Sunset Royal Villa from MYR 18,255 = $AU6k.)
(The author admits hourly checks overnight for any bulletins from that direction. As for thirty pieces of luggage, certainly no big deal there when one recalls the haul - 43 pieces - carted by the Prince of Wales on his recent weekend retreat to the monastery of Mount Athos in Northern Greece.

Routine, uneventful Monday otherwise, impossible to procure a comfortable seat at a teh halia-serving outlet. Yesterday two pots of delightful Jing Si tea at a Buddhist books & cafe establishment a couple of kilometres from Geylang Serai, served by sweet aunties in classic attire and busy yesterday with Indian auditors, young tech up-and-comers seeking purity and calm on their rest day and a couple of other tables fitting the profile. Buddhism for the well-heeled with gold-painted figurines on their shelves at home. (No sandals in evidence.)
