Garang women wow wow wow...

After the court awarded her 'only' £25million divorce settlement with Sir Paul McCartney, Heather Mills threw water over her former husband's lawyer and then laughingly announced that she had been "baptised in court."

Read the news here.

The local version of garang woman is obviously outmatched. The wife of Singapore richest man, the CEO of Venture Corp, 'only' managed to slap a SIA's air stewardess in the business class to make the news.

The victim upgraded the case from civil suit to criminal charge against the tai-tai. That means jail term is possible.



The local saga is here and here.

After Mas Selemat, another world class mistake

Singapore revises January manufacturing output growth to 11.7 pct from 6.9 pct

2008-3-11 09:00:00 a.m. HKT, XFNA SINGAPORE (Thomson Financial) -

The Economic Development Board said Tuesday Singapore's manufacturing output grew at an annual pace of 11.7 percent in January instead of 6.9 percent as it previously reported.

The board said it made a mistake in the computation of the data when it published the January manufacturing performance on Feb 26.

After recomputing the data, the board said it found that electronics output grew by 8.7 percent in January instead of contracting by 6.7 percent. Semiconductor output rose 6.8 percent instead of dropping 10.1 percent as reported earlier and data storage output grew by 14.4 percent instead of contracting 6.3 percent. The board also made minor revisions to the output of the chemical, precision engineering, transport engineering and general manufacturing industries for the month.

""We have strengthened our processes to avoid such errors from occurring again in future. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused,"" the board said.

Let's close rank. It should not have happened, but it did. I am sorry about that. Let's move on. We are not infallible. We will find out what is wrong with the toilet.....and we will continue to get the multi-milions salary...good bye!!

Got big mansion but got no life to enjoy??




Infamous Malaysia Politician Zakaria Deros, who built a jaw-dropping mansion (or private istana) illegally in Klang, has died in a heart attack.


Somehow I just feel that it is like watching a drama. All the good guys win in the end. All the bad guys served them right eventually with punishments.




Now the question: Who will take over the mansion??

Where the hell is Mat Selamat?

Our million dollar minister apologised for the incident which causes a massive man hunt of the terrorist. It also resulted a massive long queue in the causeway which the lorry can move 500m in 3 hours! Massive manpower of policemen and army have been deployed for the search and massive MMS messages will be sent out by telco to subscribers to ask for help.

I wonder what the economic loss has resulted because of this incident. If a multi-million dollar CEO of a company causes this damage to the country, he will definitely be severely punished. Our ministers, who linked their salary to the CEO of private sector, have not yet addressed what accoutability or responsiblity they will shoulder. But we have all been asked not 'speculate'.
