Is it because we are getting older or is it that we have to while away too much?. Your contributions to the blog is really a feather in your cap. In the process many may think that nothing would come out of it; but never mind, at least you make many aware of the dire situation we are put into.<BR/><BR/>Now that they have wanted to impose the 3-day free period instead of 5-day; this will certainly become an additional cost to the shippers and consequently to the poor Malaysians down the pecking order. It is the theme of the game in our country today to find 'excuses' to increase incomes or revenues without considering if one has put any effort to increase productivity. The game is based on the Toll concept, every 3 years or so, add 10% if not more! For any organisation which can give out 6 months of bonus and they contented that they are not making money! I don't think you could find any privatized company any way in the universe where you can enjoy such guarantee in term of investment return. As usual, the very bottom of the population would bear the brunt of all these escalation in prices of goods. <BR/><BR/>As we celebrate the festive season,we should also wonder how enjoyable would be these days in their lives. Capt., it is sad but true and at the end of the day, it is only people like you can make the difference! You know, in the current environment, many a time our opinion would only cause those bums to turn such opinions towards racial line. At times of such festival, we can only pray to the ALMIGHTY to have mercy on our country. Capt., enjoy the season and we shall meet for our 'teh si'.<BR/><BR/>Rgds.The Ancient Marinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577426604578337113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-18763680321644932172007-10-12T15:05:00.000+08:002007-10-12T15:05:00.000+08:00Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin to you and you...Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin to you and yours, Cap'n!<BR/><BR/>Keep on fighting the good fight, yah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1986492775396304922.post-66275475654016183382007-10-12T15:02:00.000+08:002007-10-12T15:02:00.000+08:00Dear all,many thanks for the best wishes.
