btw.. the people are starting to wise up about the saudis.. 1 saudi arrested in indonesia for financing the bombings.. bunch of saudis suspected for masterminding the iraqi bombings...
the iraqi bombings, someone was quoted on BBC radio that the saudis were petrified of a working democracy in iraq and the idea of democracy spreading through the arab world that they are trying to turn iraq into a chaotic mess just to maintain the status quo in saudi arabia
Don't get me started on the Arabs and their kind
They must be the most hypocritical ppl in the entire world
Seriously, I think the world will be a better place without them

Anyway
There's 3 things I've thought of
1) Now there's 2 woman in e spotlight of to be flogged.. 1 in Sudan, 1 in Malaysia
2) The elites must be thinking of how to increase their power like army scholar occifer to be diplomats or getting elites of China versed or able to speak Melayu (Thing is, everyone should learn for goodness sake) or their creative tax ideas
Cig end up having smuggling thks to expensive cigs, loss of tax revenue and need to spend money on enforcement.
3) Now we've e mini star saying Temasek's CEO should or must be a Singkie
ok.. got things to do... back tml
the singapore PR is now asking for a public flogging ......
I think she's actually pissed off about her punishment .... and want it public to embaress the chaps up there ...... it'll definitely be picked up by foreign media ..... ![]()

been busy .... and been keeping late nights ...
running on a few hour's sleep a night .....

Thankfully no. But any experience with those M****F*****s is enough
Hmm..... Ramadan is 29 instead of 30 days this year.....
Ah drats.... will have to wait one more day for it to start then.
anyways, this scam called the law ....
my lawyer friend's been educating me about it .....
it's damm funny really .....
all you have to do, is to make sure you hire the services of one of the big gun law firms, like D&N, R&T, HE, etc ...
they can steam-roller the opposition sometimes without even going to court ... cos they have lots of lower level junior lawyers to do all the dirty grunt work, and can wear down the other chaps by procedures alone .... "oh, this thing's not submitted by this time, I refuse to accept, reapply to the court again !" etc etc ........
soon, the other chaps will start sweating, cos the costs are sky rocketing for him ... he'll negotiate for a settlement, and you tack your legal costs over to him too ..... ![]()
wish it was so easy for me though ....
