Water Water Everywhere
Bernama, our national news agency, has a sense of humour that I deeply admire.
Take this headline, for instance:
Floods At Highways To Be Raised In Cabinet On Wednesday [Bernama]
I sure hope Pak Lah et al wear life jackets tomorrow.
But maybe Bernama was accurate after all, for the story includes this quote from Samy Vellu:
"It will provide a clear picture of the flood situation at the expressway to the cabinet members," he told reporters after a visit to the flood-prone areas of the NKVE, here Monday.
Yup, there's gonna be a flood in Putrajaya tomorrow alright ... a flood of excuses.

I sometimes wonder if our ministers have ever been caught in floods to know how bad the situation is...
It's always a case of 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam' whenever anything untoward happens. It's always reactive. What happened to proactivity?

People in power should be seen working on the problem and react on it fast. Action must be seen. Talking is not accepted. (We are helpless. They are useless)
