Malaysia is a joke – even the PM’s brother is reported to have opened a warung nasi kandar in Perth with a Chinese gentleman, that is one way to migrate (if true). Question is (if true) WHY? Is the ship sinking?

They tried about three years ago and during those days we still pitched so we went. Then we saw others that were pitching who were basically EOs and other no namers.

A junior consultant who was with me was also scolded by a member of the panel for the temerity to attend that pitch because he had not been in Malaysia. Go figure what sort of creaures lurk the Malaysian bureaucracy.

Miund, Baiti: Glad you guys found the posting funny.

The whole Cabinet in denial? Any Cabinet that is not in denial would have already forced TA to apologize already, if not step down.
