Dato J went to Melaka last night on urgent family matters and I was left to fend for his one important guest: Yes, VVIP ex-judge Dato' Syed Ahmad Idid. He spent a few hours with us and it rankled me (except for Nuraina and Elviza who knew him) that nobody else seemed to know and acknowledge the great man. I was too busy playing host. I hope he did not feel slighted in any way, bang . . .Mat Salohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660319094415586065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-6050592357358026672007-05-29T15:37:00.000+08:002007-05-29T15:37:00.000+08:00Malaysia still has a long way to go in order to ge...Malaysia still has a long way to go in order to get rid of that Kopi money mentality.<BR/><BR/>Now here is one for you to think?<BR/><BR/>What if one was to give gratuity money AFTER a task was completed, without expectations from the receiving party.<BR/><BR/>Does this constitute corruption?Alliedmartsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357969467864611310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-13784886941161747902007-05-28T17:16:00.000+08:002007-05-28T17:16:00.000+08:00capt. i have written quite alot about these pak ci...capt. i have written quite alot about these pak cik sailors in my blog - i have met quite a lot of them in liverpool, cardiff and london. very interesting stories indeed. <BR/>err, no i dont have flaming red hair...just a cover up job!Kak Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856864485917633260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-71782572755791617842007-05-28T16:55:00.000+08:002007-05-28T16:55:00.000+08:00Elviza, kak teh can we dispense with the 'sirs' he...Elviza, kak teh can we dispense with the 'sirs' here please, makes me feel truly ancient, ha ha.<BR/><BR/>Kak teh sorry I missed yr article since I dont read NST.
